Help Save Manassas from "Help Save Manassas"


Those that have been following the despicable, anti-immigrant happenings of Prince William County as of late will appreciate this. The Washington Post just ran a story in today's Metro section about a Prince William County "blog wars" between the hyper-conservative blogger, Greg Letiecq, and left-of-xenophobic blogger, Alanna Almeda. Apparently, Letiecq is one of the more influential residents of PWC, and according to the article, he has "helped elect political allies, punish opponents, and shape local public policy" through his blog (totally frightening, I know - blog culture is so weird). The blog subtitle actually reads, "Driving liberals, dhimmis and illegal alien apologists absolutely insane since 2005..." It receives 1,400 hits a day. I'm feeling a little sick.

Well, Alemda was a contributor to Letiecq's blog for some time until she was removed from the site. Subsequently, she began her own blog (or an "anti-blog," apparently) to counter the xenophobia rampant in Manassas and other parts of PWC. She isn't a liberal, by any means (are there any in this county?), but she thinks the recent immigration policies are totally out of line. Nice that there is an alternative voice out there in the blogosphere, a place where everyone has a voice...or something like that.

These are about the kindest comments that I have received. :)

We're going to keep up the good fight. We won't allow the immigration discussion to be hijacked with racially charged language that only further inflames the situation.

All people of good intentions should stand up against the racism like antibvbl has done. Organize!

Sorry, the illegals are as anti-American as you can get. They could care less about you or your property. They take your rights, money, goodwill/sympathy, and freedom without blinking an eye. Never do they return back to the community and you will pay for the repairs and burdens they bring. Applying for citizenship is not impossible so why don't they? Because they do not want to be American citizens.
