\n…What you will see in this short video is people, citizens with the same rights as everyone else, being intimidated and bullied at what\n\n
<\/a>\nis supposed to be a meeting that has rules and procedures in place to ensure fairness and due process. I will be the first one to admit, this video is a wake up call to me that I need to have a better understanding of these rules and procedures. One does not have to have a full working knowledge of the rules and procedures to see what is happening in this video. There are a few at this meeting (some are newbies to this process) that obviously disagree with the majority and the majority do not like it one bit! At this point I would like to point out that it would have been proper if those that were experienced would have been nicer and appreciate the fact that other people in the community are getting involved, as we all should, and taken the opportunity to help them understand procedures. Instead they do their best to ridicule and make them feel uncomfortable….<\/p>\n
I don’t think the reaction of those that were guilty of using such tactics was because these people were Ron Paul supporters. I believe they would have responded exactly the same to anyone that had the audacity to question or challenge them, to not just sit there like good little zombies and go along with whatever they said. You see, that is where the real problem lies. Those with power or authority have either been corrupted by that power and authority or believe\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n
\nthat any question or challenge is a direct threat to themselves. They even begin to feel superior to most people and even in what at best case scenario, in some twisted way, think that they are the only ones capable of making decisions and seeing the big picture. That they are actually doing others a favor because those other people just are not smart enough to make good decisions!<\/p>\nYou will see that the Chair, does not have control and is actually a victim of being bullied also by what appears to be the Rules Adviser. It appears that those in charge, the group that has the knowledge of how this is supposed to run, are more interested in preserving their power and keeping anyone with opposing views from exercising their rights under the rules, than they are in making sure the meeting is run according to the rules and procedures….<\/p>\n
As far as I know, I do not know any one person at this meeting. I don’t know those in charge or anything about them. I don’t know their names, what they do, who they represent or what connections, if any, they have. These are just my observations from watching the video and any knowledge of the rules and procedures came from the article and comments on the original video. I have no hidden agenda or ax to grind with anybody there. All that being said I need to also point out that this is in part a big part of the problem in America today. The local politics are run just like the national politics. So when people say that the national level politics does not affect them locally, they are wrong.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
There’s more in his blog post.<\/a> Barbara<\/a> and Jeff seem to agree that the “establishment” had it their way. People have also been commenting on the YouTube video.<\/a><\/p>\n
