Look folks: honestly, that isn’t MY blog at all! And I have no idea whatsoever who it might be who created it. Heck, lately I haven’t had much time to devote to this one, much less start and maintain a new one. Especially one as slick and polished and inspired as what I’m about to show you.

But that doesn’t mean that I’m not flat-out stunned at whoever it is out there who has assumed the guise of V and decided to take on Johnny Robertson…

Vendetta For Johnny Robertson popped up out of nowhere this morning and a reader passed it along to me. Yes folks, V – the masked protagonist from V for Vendetta – has arrived on the streets of Martinsville, Danville and Reidsville to take on the cult leader/convicted felon who has been trying to “defeat destroy” in the name of God everyone he hates…...

From August 25th, 2009 at a public meeting between Rep. Jim Moran and his constituents at South Lakes High School in Reston, Virginia. As is happening a lot lately, the meeting was to discuss President Obama’s health care “reform”.

And outside the school, this exchange was taking place between a private citizen and polie officer Wesley Cheeks, Jr. During which Officer Cheeks is told that this is America and replies “It ain’t no more”…

The only comment I’ll make is that I’ve seen this sort of thing happening for a long time already. It certainly didn’t start with Barack Obama (I saw much of the same happening on George W. Bush’s watch). And I like to think that now that the shoe’s on the other foot, that some Americans who had been too dense before will start paying attention.

I like to think that, anyway....

Remember Murrill McLean, the Danville Police Department officer who a month ago shot and killed a tiny miniature dachshund that was only barking at him?

Here is “big bad” Murrill McLean…

And here is a photo of the late mini dachshund “Killer” that McLean terminated…

Well, guess what folks?

Murrill McLean has been FIRED from the Danville Police Department by Chief Phillip Broadfoot!

Incidentally, The Knight Shift was the first source that publicly broke the pictures of Murrill McLean hefting his heavy hardware. After the photos of McLean were published here they wound up widely disseminated among the mainstream press (and were also stolen for broadcast use on WGSR by general manager Charles Roark without attribution… and yeah I’ve got the proof of him visiting this blog to nab ’em too. But then he’s a well-known kleptomaniac anyway…).

So, for this time at least, justice is served, ...

Many people have told me that on Sunday night’s television broadcast of What Does The Bible Say? on WGSR – or as I call it “The Martinsville Taliban Show” – local cult leader Johnny Robertson of the “Martinsville Church of Christ” claimed that there are now four robust congregations of the “Church of Christ” (which is nothing like the mainstream Churches of Christ) meeting in this area. Those would be his own Martinsville group, one at the old post office on The Boulevard in Eden, the one that has been coming together in Reidsville at the Holiday Inn Express, and a group meeting in Ruffin.

Robertson alleged that the Ruffin “Church of Christ” had been meeting for “over a year” (his words).

Curiously, the July 5th 2009 broadcast of What Does The Bible Say? on WGSR was the very first time that Robertson or anyone else with the “Church of ...

Murrill McLean, Danville Police “officer”, who shot and killed 11-pound miniature dachshund “Killer” earlier this week.

This is the “cop” who was so afraid of a tiny little dog that was only barking at him, that he used lethal force. This guy, who looks like six-foot something and all tough.

Apparently he’s also an enlisted soldier who’s about to begin a tour of Iraq.

Hide your puppies, people of Baghdad. Better keep your children out of the street too, if you don’t want Officer McLean shooting first and asking questions later.

Want to make this better, Chief of Police Phillip Broadfoot? Then Murrill McLean had damned better make a heartfelt public apology to the family before the weekend is out and tender his resignation from the Danville Police Department. Either that, or fire his butt as an example for everyone else in law enforcement: that those of your profession ...

This is the second time in as many days that this blog has reported a story like this. The first was from Ohio, where two big Blue Ash Police Department officers tasered, then shot and killed a five-pound dog that they said was “threatening” them.

Now comes word that the same thing has happened just across the state line from here in Danville, Virginia.

On the left is a photo of Killer, who had been an 11-year old miniature dachshund weighing about 12 pounds. He was regarded as a “friendly, friendly” dog that was not only a companion to the Harper family that owned him, but well liked throughout the neighborhood.

On Monday night a Danville Police Department officer – and I will gladly post the name and home address of this bastard who has no business with a badge if someone will provide it to me – ...

Could it possibly be because of a certain anti-Barack Obama sign that WGSR general manager Charles Roark devoted obscene amounts of airplay and screentime to this past Friday afternoon, and then again on Monday?

The answer to that question is, evidently, “yes”.

Old Dutch Galaxy had been a major advertiser for WGSR. A chain of four grocery stores around the Danville and Chatham area in Virginia, Old Dutch Galaxy had been running updated commercials every week (on a station that was still running spots for the Reidsville Christmas parade last week, mind ya…).

But the word from our friends around south-central Virginia, is that Roark’s constant harping about a sign calling Obama a “bastard” and his mother a “slut” was way over the top and into the realm of completely inappropriate behavior.

I doubt that this lesson will be anything but lost on Charles Roark, who has abandoned responsible broadcasting ...

Folks, please understand that I am not on a “get the ‘Church of Christ In Name Only'” binge tonight. Heck, I’ve so many projects on my plate right now that I’m pretty much relying on the reports that others have been sending me lately about the cult. Like earlier today when I posted that cult leader Johnny Robertson can’t spell worth a hoot even as he condemns preachers of other (and in my opinion, legitimate) churches in the area.

And now later this evening, it is Robertson’s chief henchman/second cousin who accompanied him from Texas, James Oldfield (heh-heh… bet y’all didn’t know that the two were related, did ya?) who is up to no good.

Who is Oldfield and the “Church of Christ” cult (remember, it’s not the real Church of Christ at all) going after this time? None other than the Salvation Army.

I came in from some ...

A few days ago RF Micro announced it would relocate much of its work from its Greensboro, North Carolina plant to China. 80 local jobs will be lost at the microchip plant.

And yesterday Dan River, a textiles plant that has been in operation for 126 years in Danville, Virginia, announced it would be closing down. It was a little over a year ago that Dan River was bought by a company based in India.

About time to post on this blog a video of James McMurtry declaring the obvious: “We Can’t Make It Here Anymore”.

(By the way, I don’t agree with everything depicted in this video, especially about blindly supporting unions and the Democrat party… but I think otherwise the style of this clip describes things pretty darned well.)...

Although to be fair, a lot of other Christians don’t get it either…

(Yes, I admit that I’m watching Robertson’s show tonight on WGSR, ‘cuz more than a few people suggested that after the video I posted in response to last week’s show, that he might use it tonight. So far I haven’t seen it.)

Mr. Robertson, God does not care which “church” we belong to! God is not interested one bit whether we are “Church of Christ” (I’m going to start calling the bunch that broadcasts on WGSR Star 39 as “Church Of Christ In Name Only” or “COCINO” for short to differentiate it from the real Church of Christ, the independent congregations sincerely trying to serve God that most people have heard of) or Baptist or Pentecostal or Catholic or Methodist, or any other denomination…

God does care about whether or not we are seeking for Him, ...
