I cannot even begin to tell you how disturbing this is:

Apostasy can be defined ask a falling away or turning away from what you once believed. There are those who have embedded themselves within the local Republican party who are fighting So we change our core belief’s those vary beliefs that define who we are.
2 core beliefs are sanctity of marriage and the life of the unborn. Tonight at our quarterly meeting there is a rumor that they will force a vote to undermine the of sanctity marriage by embracing leaders from within the homosexual community to become leaders within the party…
So is there pastas within the Republican party? We will see…
I mean, seriously, as a fajita/tortilla chip guy this is beyond the pale. The idea that the Harris County Republican Party is infiltrated with pasta brings me to my knees! Where, oh, where, did we go wrong? This is complete validation for those that think that we Republicans have a problem with Latinos. What Latino in their right mind would associate with a political party that is full of pasta?
I know, I know, some of you are saying, who the heck is Bill Kneer and why do I care that he is concerned about pasta in the Harris County Republican Party? Well, Mr. Kneer is a Precinct Chair in Harris County and Chairman Jared Woodfill’s staunchest supporter/shill. It all stems from this post, where Mr. Kneer and a few like-minded pasta skeered-i-cats denied a young man an opportunity to serve in the Harris County Republican Party simply because he is gay. And if you don’t think that is the case, let me show you another one of Mr. Kneer’s Facebook entries:

Once again it seems that I’m under attack for not being willing to compromise my beliefs to grow the Republican Party. When I’m attacked by Democrats and libertarians for not bending to the homosexual agenda take that attack as a badge of honor.
I would rather lose elections standing up for what I know what’s right then when them standing up for nothing.
I would like to thank David Jennings appointing out the fact that I do not compromise on our core Republican Party beliefs.
You are welcome, Mr. Kneer. One of the things that you need to know when dealing with Mr. Kneer is that grammar wasn’t his specialty when he rode the short bus to school, so you have to sorta, kinda read between the wrong usage of words. Like when he says “when them” he means “win one for the Gipper!”. Or saying that I “appointed out the fact”, think, hey, Jolly pointed out that Kneer joined the chorus against a young man because of some un-named, un-knowable conspiracy by “teh gayzs”. Just deal with it people! It could be worse – you could be invaded by pasta. Think about that one!
Okay, so we now know that Mr. Kneer and others refused to “compromise” their beliefs when they voted against allowing Chris Busby to work a precinct that, like over 50{997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986} of all precincts in Harris County, does not have a Republican chair. These people believe that unless you are 100{997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986} with them, you are 100{997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986} against them. But that’s okay – the next primary cycle will take care of that and the voters in his precinct will put him in that lofty position. And as I said earlier, it will be an awesome sight to see Chris walk into a meeting of the HCRP with exactly the same number of votes that Mr. Kneer has.
The thing is, Jared Woodfill, for whom Mr. Kneer shills constantly, is at odds with the shill. Check out this answer from Mr. Woodfill in a September, 2009 forum hosted by the Memorial West Republican Women:
So which is it Jared? Do we accept people that are willing to work hard for 80{997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986} of the Republican platform or do we reject them? Speaking of rejection, here is another one of the members of that committee that voted to exclude Chris Busby:
Never, never, never. Wait just a minute! Didn’t Jared Woodfill say that no one has been excluded from working in the Harris County Republican Party? And didn’t the same Jared Woodfill appoint “never. never. never” as one of his privileged appointments as Chair? Why yes, Big Jolly, he did. And how many thousands of dollars did Jared Woodfill give to this guy to spread his endorsement “newsletter”? Mi amiga Karen Townsend has more over at Pondering Penguin.
Methinks Jared has a bit of a hypocrisy problem. Of course, that is well known. But I wonder….what would happen if Kneer saw Jared eating pasta?
I’m guessing that all hell would break loose. 😉
David-Wht you write here is very well written. Thank you for writing it. A year ago I was truly angry at what I felt was mistreatment of my candidate for HCDE Trustee Richard Johnson but nonetheless, I am very impressed and grateful for your handling of this issue.
You have stirred it this time! Two tings. 1. Not all gay people want gay marriage. Many believe it's between a man and a woman. 2. It's my belief strong leadership with good ideas, can handle any attempts to turn the party from it's path. Bill is as passionate about this as I am about illegal immigration. It's his hot button. He may be doing it all wrong, or expressing himself badly, but he is pushing hard for what he believes. Just like I do. Bill is trying to deal with something that disturbs his core. I have no idea if the Republican party can handle " diversity". It takes strong leadership, and when one entices some to join, one repels others. It's been a Democrat plan to divide and subject people to groups. Why not, with good ideas, and action that speaks to the community, attract people, not groups?
Why wasn’t Mr. Busby elected as precinct chair at his last precinct convention? If the voters want (or don’t want) him to represent them, it seems to me that would be the place to start. Hell, most of the time you just have to show up and you’re elected by default because there’s no one else there.
I also think it’s a bit simple to state that he was not installed “simply because he is gay”. I haven’t really been following this issue and my only exposure has been through the bias presented here but I would guess that he wasn’t installed because he loudly advocates for the redefinition of marriage. That would be hard to swal… er … that’s gonna be a tough nut to … er … that’s gonna be hard for the HCRP or any other Republican organization outside of the Log Cabins, to accept.
Oh, I don’t know Sally. I seem to “stir things up” just by waking up in the morning. All I did was stand up for a young man that was being bullied by a few holier than thou’s.
Burt, not sure what you are referring to when you say “mistreatment” of Richard Johnson. He had a solid D voting record and when I personally asked him about that, he told me that he didn’t know that it was a requirement to vote Republican to be a Republican candidate. Completely different scenario regarding Chris Busby – a solid R voter that worked in at least six R campaigns. But I appreciate your support.
In some faiths, pasta is punishable by death.
