Everybody needs to give a look at the KCP article about --- WAIT FOR IT !!! --- "Republican Outreach in Brooklyn"

Well, I suppose, Christmastime is a time for fun and games, and high frivolity.....  In England, Christmas dinner includes wearing funny hats and crowns, and everybody getting party poppers or a ratchet- rattle

And "Once upon a time, a very long time ago,"  I would have laughed at the insiders' joke, if there was any talk about "Brooklyn GOP outreach" to the minority community  ---  but that joke played out a long, long time ago  >>>  and just like Scotland and bagpipes most of the folks never got the joke, and they still don't.....

But once in a dogs age, somebody talks about GOP outreach to the minority community like it were a real thing.  >>>  It is not. <<<   And it hasn't been since the days when Edmund Seergy was GOP Chairman, and a young Frank Voyticky joined in with people like Arthur Bramwell and his brother the judge to be the semblance of an active Republican Party in their community in parts of North, Central and Eastern Brooklyn 

In 1993 and 1994 when my political plays included real outreach into a handful of communities in North, Central and Eastern Brooklyn, I met with a group from around Ridgewood and Cypress Hills.  They were old line Vito Battista conservative Republicans, and I think they met under a tree pretty far out on Atlantic Avenue, by City Line  >>>  they had one strategy "Hold Out" until some kind of help arrived  ---  "Outreach" was not a part of their plan at all; and they thought that was just fine   ---  "...but that was once upon a time, and now the tree is gone".....

For the most part, the KCP article by Ariama C. Long is kind of benign and inoffensive, except where it seems to suggest that the Republican Party and the Conservative Party are pretty much the same thing. In fact, it called a man named Constantin Jean-Pierre "... a staunch member of the Republican and Conservative Party...";  that pretty much convinced me that she is a relative of former Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long, because even though he said that wasn't so, for the longest time he pretty much acted like he ran both the Republican and Conservative Parties, in Brooklyn, and with a few exceptions, around most of the rest of the state.
