Johnny Mertz was the best Police Commissioner the Town of Rotterdam ever had. It is wrong to do anything but praise him for his efforts. If he wasn't given a gold badge- then shame on the Town Board and Mr. Tommasone for not ensuring he was given one.
Perhaps that is because the firemen aren't corrupt like the police dept. Maybe someone could tell us the last time there was a smear involving the fire dept. I don't know, maybe there has been. I just don't remember. Does anyone else? Help us out here.
Did you forget to read todays paper? Supervisors failing drug tests and an individual being promoted to Asst Chief who did a couple years in prison for his involvement in a huge cocaine ring?
But I agree with you, you hear much more negative stories coming out of the PD.
SCCP, it is unfortunate that your post should spew such venom at Mr. Littlefield. Mr. Littlefield does not deserve name calling. He has always been eloquent and respectful in his posts displaying nothing but class. In my assessment, Mr.Littlefield appears to be the most conservative than anyone else. He was the only one who single handedly forced an audit of the Metroplex 'for the taxpayers'. Now, being that we live in an almost saturated blue state, we may not get the true results.
Mr. Littlefield seems too nice and eloquent and classy to belong to any of these degenerate political parties.
He was basically calling papa a dim wit a few posts ago. I guess you missed that one. Then he posted a bunch of lies again....
I don't care how "eloquently" he lies, it only makes him an eloquent liar.
SCCP's post is a great example of why the real conservatives tried to take their party back. What goes around comes around sooner or later.
The real Conservatives won by a landslide, the outside faction got their butts handed to them. Maybe they ought to spend $100,000 next time and see how it works for them. They can always say that the funds "came from the pockets of the REAL Conservatives" Yea, ok....... Turn out was very strong in the primary and it was a landslide. The Party faithful have spoken, loudly!
May I say 'thank you' to the conservative party for allowing the democratic fungus to spread even further into our county. With the conservative party being hell bent on destroying Ms. Rhinesmith, which apparently is now including the GOP, only gives the dems an open door for a TOTAL dictatorship. Not to mention, inadvertently manipulating the political system.
What does the conservative party expect to accomplish by airing their venom regarding the GOP in the gazette? The perception by the sheeple will be to obviously NOT vote for a rep. Which leaves who? THE DEMS. The airing of this nonsense in our liberally owned local paper, by the conservs, will surely give the dems ALL of the power.
Between the reps eating their own(Parisi/Mertz), coupled with poor leadership, supported by the conservs GOP bashing...they have created a perfect storm for the dems. And the dems are sitting back just to watch the GOP and the conservs destroy each other.
Haven't you people learned ANYTHING from the dems? They don't air their differences in public. They protect their own EVEN if they disagree. They are clearly a very well oiled machine that sticks together NO MATTER WHAT!
So take some advise from a 'blank'....if you have an issue with Ms. Rhinesmith or WHOEVER, deal with it within your 4 political walls. Cause you all have just given the dems a very very strong foothold for taking over EVERYTHING in this county.
May I say 'thank you' again!

Again... how did Ms. Rhinesmith get to be on the conservs executive board in the past? And how long was she on this executive board?

Bob Hamilton asked me to work with them. We were united in the very necessary removal of Paul Brown, so I agreed to work with them. I only ran about 30 people in the Committee Primary that year (2006), as I had already agreed to give them a chance and work with them. I was assured that we would endorse conservative candidates and that everyone would be included in the open process promised. I was elected as Recording Secretary, but was also asked to agree to not force primaries against their endorsed candidates - which should have been unnecessary if Hamilton intended to keep his word to endorse conservative candidates. When they failed to endorse Angelo Santabarbara I kept my promise with regard to Primary petitions, but informed the Board that if someone else were to open that ballot, that I would support Angelo and Carolina. I even sent him the letter I sent out to conservatives alerting them to Lazzari and Santabarbara's Primary intentions and to avoid signing petitions for Jasenski/Godlewski. The only reason Republicans were endorsed anywhere else is as follows: 1.)The Republicans in Duanesburg were unopposed. 2.)The cops weren't happy with the Demokratz in Niskayuna and Glenville. In fact, Hamilton denied access to those interviews for other Committee members who weren't on the Board, yet Steve Janik (Glenville cop) and John Serotta ( Niskayuna cop), who were not on the Board were not only allowed in, but Steve ran the interviews almost exclusively. After interviewing those candidates in those town races, Janik made it clear that the Niskayuna and Glenville Kratz never did anything for them and never even returned their calls. The only exception was Demokrat Steve Swinton for Niskayuna Town Justice - Demokrat McNulty's nephew. The cops didn't want him either, but Hamilton endorsed him anyway. So the cops joined conservatives in a write-in that removed him from the Conservative ballot line. 3.) They endorsed all liberal Demokratz in Schenectady, except for Rit DiCaprio, a retired police officer they supported wholeheartedly, and who is widely admired and respected, and deservedly so - a true conservative they are now blasting with hate mail calling him "Benedict Arnold" for his loyalty to conservative values. 4.) As for Republicans Farley and Buhrmaster, Hamilton did not want to endorse Farley. Joe Guidarelli insisted we "had to". They were endorsed only because it was believed there was no way they would lose. This year is no different. They endorsed a liberal Demokrat in the Scotia Village Board race over Armon Benny - the most conservative candidate in that race by far, because he wouldn't bow to the union. And Marty Finn goes without saying. I was the only one who opposed both endorsements. I served two years on the Executive Board just to watch more of the same, maybe worse - only the names have changed. I did everything I said I would do, and I didn't do anything I promised not to. I knew I was put on that Board was with the obviously mistaken belief that they could control me. And for the record, Captain Hamilton is a liar. I was involved with Conservatives long before his gang hijacked the party with the assistance and cooperation of the Demokratz. And I made it clear before those primaries that my loyalty would always remain with the conservative members of this party. As of Monday I am no longer on the Board, so real conservatives have lost their only voice on that Board. And just for good measure, they have changed our bylaws to centralize power that now rests solely with the Board. Committee Members will no longer vote on endorsements...not that it matters since they never notified all Committee Members of full committee meetings anyway. And your right about their intentions with me, Bumble - they always try to shoot the messenger. The union in charge and their Demokrat bosses always go after me because they know that I am the one who organizes the conservatives they continually exploit through their own ballot line. And whenever you challenge them they start throwing around the "F" word - "Fraud!"
The following guide will help you plan, prepare, and get ready in the event that martial law threatens you safety and well being. It is divided into two parts. The first part describes the framework for martial law and the second part the actions to take in preparing for the actual declaration of martial law.
INTERESTING FACTS
Martial law is defined as: military rule or authority imposed on a civilian population when the civil authorities cannot maintain law and order, as in a time of war or during an emergency.
Hitler turned Germany into a Nazi dictatorship through executive orders.
Executive Order 10995: All communications media are to be seized by the Federal Government. Radio, TV, newspapers, CB, Ham, telephones, and the internet will be under federal control. Hence, the First Amendment will be suspended indefinitely. Executive Order 10997: All electrical power, fuels, and all minerals well be seized by the federal government. Executive Order 10998: All food resources, farms and farm equipment will be seized by the government. You will not be allowed to hoard food since this is regulated. Executive Order 10999: All modes of transportation will go into government control. Any vehicle can be seized. Executive Order 11000: All civilians can be used for work under federal supervision. Executive Order 11490: Establishes presidential control over all US citizens, businesses, and churches in time of "emergency." Executive Order 12919: Directs various Cabinet officials to be constantly ready to take over virtually all aspects of the US economy during a State of National Emergency at the direction of the president. Executive Order 13010: Directs FEMA to take control over all government agencies in time of emergency. FEMA is under control of executive branch of the government. Executive Order 12656: "ASSIGNMENT OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS RESPONSIBILITIES", "A national emergency is any occurrence, including natural disaster, military attack, technological emergency, or other emergency that seriously degrades or seriously threatens the national security of the United States. Policy for national security emergency preparedness shall be established by the President." This order includes federal takeover of all local law enforcement agencies, wage and price controls, prohibits you from moving assets in or out of the United States, creates a draft, controls all travel in and out of the United States, and much more. Martial law can be declared due to natural disasters, Y2k Crisis, Stock Market crash, no electricity, riots, biological attack, .... anything leading to the breakdown of law and order.
SURVIVING MARTIAL LAW Prepare before any declaration of martial law by becoming self reliant. You may become subject to a bureaucratic system and be prepared to stay one step ahead of it which is easy to do if you are prepared and in a position to be self reliant. You may also face mob rule, chaos, panic, or a complete breakdown in law and order. Surival situations may be easier to handle in rural areas than urban. Avoid areas of marital law. Can be imposed due to natural disasters or man caused events. Important to have a retreat or place in a rural area away from populated areas. Create alliances with like minded neighbors or community members that share your views. Team work and numbers may help your situation. Become transparent in the sense that you do not draw attention to yourself or your family. For instance, do not tell people that you are storing food just store food. Be prepared to render assistance to neighbors if need be. You never know when you will need them. Remain calm! Do not panic. Avoid areas of civil unrest if possible. If caught in civil unrest take appropriate action. Get informed and stay informed. Understand martial law can be a temporary crisis or an extended one. In extreme cases the shape of a whole nation can change. Declaration of martial law means your rights are suspended and it is government by decree. Your constitutional rights may no longer apply. This could mean a state of National Emergency. People can be arrested and imprisoned indefinitely without charges. Freedom of speech and freedom of assembly can be suspended, and censorship of the media imposed. Gun ownership will also come under severe attack during marital law. We could see house to house searches by the military or National Guard looking for guns and seizing any they find along with stored food. Take a stand on issues and make a choice that fits your beliefs and the situation. Do you believe as Patrick Henry, "Give me liberty or give me death?" Realize you may have some hard choices to make. Understand you may have to sacrifice your principles on trivial matters or take a hard stand. Always remember that you may have to come back and fight another day.

You give yourself way to much credit. You have a few other disturbed people that you manage to perform mind control on. Much like a cult ( branch davidian, Jonestown, Heavens gate ) Fortunately you have not prepared any Koolaid for them to drink yet.........

Gadfly, thank you for your respond. I'm glad someone finally did. I guess the only thing you did wrong, was after you helped Hamilton oust Brown, you tried to do it to Hamilton and crew. And they already knew the game plan. So I guess if they say you have sinned than Hamiltonand crew are guilty of the same with Paul Brown.
And also, it just goes to prove that sadly it is law enforcement that has been in control of the Conserv party. First the Sheriff's dept....now the police dept.
