I'm sending it to all of ou...Wonderful letter. I'm sending it to all of our town board members as well as prospective new ones. Unfortunatly, Gardiner has already bought into a lot of this agenda and we are the worse for it. Our "master plan" is a playbook right out of the smart growth agenda, and my attempts to have the simple words "property rights" added to it were completely scorned. Our overreaching zoning laws deny some property owners on the sacred ridge the use-by-right to have even one single home on 100 acres....they have to go and get a variance, and will likely be sued if the get one along with the town, by the Shawangunk Biodiversity group. Stop it if you can in Olive.Pam O'Dellhttp://www.gardinersright.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555123713188257297.post-67418891034308438752011-08-18T09:37:37.305-04:002011-08-18T09:37:37.305-04:00A fascinating bit, Mitch.
Somehow, I thought that...A fascinating bit, Mitch.<br /><br />Somehow, I thought that the green madness was centered in Woodstock. Apparently, it has metastasized.<br /><br />I often wonder whether it is worth my time to be involved in the political process of Woodstock. The communist/hippie philosophy that dominates political discussion seems to be what the majority wants.<br /><br />I'm an artist... a musician. For some reason, this communist/hippie viewpoint is the default in the artistic community. Well, I know the reason, which I'll set out by way of example.<br /><br />The Woodstock Film Festival didn't come to life out of a devotion to film. It began as part of Rep. Maurice Hinchey's eternal re-election campaign. The festival is, in fact, a propaganda event for the Democratic Party. Federal seed money gave the festival its start.<br /><br />If you are interested in film (and I am), what sort of film do you think is most likely to rewarded by the Woodstock Film Festival?<br /><br />Propaganda films for liberal causes seem to do best at the festival.<br /><br />This little story is a microcosm of why the arts are dominated by the far left. If you want to be noticed, you're well advised to follow the party line.Shouting Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813058890609756982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555123713188257297.post-38147669907428893682011-08-18T06:33:12.257-04:002011-08-18T06:33:12.257-04:00Great letter Mitchell! I live in Warwick and I'...Great letter Mitchell! I live in Warwick and I've just begun to ask if any of these initiatives have been attempted here yet. (no response yet)What worries me in general, is that we have very influential organizations like the Orange County Chamber of Commerce who actually enable and facilitate these "new world" schemes.<br />What kind of response are you expecting I'm wondering?shutupnsinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742241393246985901noreply@blogger.com
