Wow, that's *really* Conservative of you...
"I pledge to continue to represent you all to the best of my abilities without regard to race, creed, religious beliefs, national origin or sex. That's the kind of Sterling Americans you all have been for me and for our community and I pledge to continue to be that kind of Sterling American for you." - Roger Delgaudio, Sterling/Loudoun, "There is no place in Sterling for hate" (from his monthly newsletter to us residents)
Yeah, that's right.
Roger Delgaudio is a man so Conservative he hasn't even caught up to the fact that most of the country, and most of his subjects, considers discrimination and prejudicial writings against people on account of sexual orientation is Hate.
Some of his choice quotes (as 'public policy spokesman for a pro-family group', as he brushes off) he WON'T put in the electorate newsletter, but loves to put in that sidelines business, "Public Advocate" (which he operates on government resources, which is why he is under investigation...I note his letter didn't say a thing about the actual charges in the slightest)
Another (very specifically fundraising) letter he wrote mentions dangerous legislation like
culminating, of course, with "In fact, if I’m to effectively defeat even one of these bills, I’m going to need an immediate influx of funds." - Fear-mongering, hatred, and an annoyingly active imagination unable to see reality in the slightest, and his flock should give him money for that.
How detached from reality is he? He even made a post (I think a tweet, but I can't recall now) about how "his" Sterling so overwhelmingly voted Republican in November (facts? Obama took 65%, Kaine took 68% - both contributing to their late-night wins once the votes were counted - and within Sterling, Wolf was in the minority, though he took his district thanks to Fauquier and Winchester, not Loudoun which went 50/50). A few hours later, he took that one down.
By the way, the mailing list of people who love to read that kind of stuff? In the months prior to the election, he sold it. To Bachmann, Rand Paul, Scott Walker, likely more.
He personally takes home about $171,000 a year writing this stuff, according to analysis of public tax filings. And this is a 'non-profit' advocacy group, btw. And that's on top of his PACs, his investments, and his income from the Loudoun Board. He actually primarily lives in Falls Church (ironically because it has better schools for his kids, who knew?).
And no, I have NO intention of linking to to those pages...but he clearly owns it, as shown by the whois records for the domain.
But no, he's not one who "hates" and there is no "hate" in Sterling, except against him.
Really.
Yeah, that's right.

- "The homosexual lobbies fully support the invasive body cavity searches of elderly citizens, small children, young women and the absurd and dangerous X-Ray machines that scan the human form in minute detail- anybody and everybody for little security reasons whatsoever." - October 24, 2012
- It was worse than I ever imagined. Row after row of boxes bulging with pro-homosexual petitions lined the walls, stacked to the ceiling. My mind reeled as I realized hundreds, maybe thousands, more boxes were already loaded on the tractor-trailers. [...] Driving away, my eyes filled with tears as I realized he might be right. This time the Radical Homosexuals could win.
- [An open Letter to Mitt Romney on who should be his VP candidate] “Matt Drudge, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Reagan, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Joe Farah, or Chuck Norris would be a great pick from just ten top conservative leaders,”
Another (very specifically fundraising) letter he wrote mentions dangerous legislation like
- 1) The Homosexual Classrooms Act, requiring every school - even private and religious schools - to teach appalling homosexual acts.
2) The Offense to Marriage Act, repealing the Defense of Marriage Act which has stood for over a decade against the Homosexual Lobby.
If passed, wedding gown-clad men smooching before some left-wing clergyman or state official is just the beginning.
You’ll see men hand-in-hand skipping down to adoption centers to “pick out” a little boy for themselves.
3) The Gay Bill of Special Rights, granting special job rights to homosexuals. Every homosexual fired or not hired becomes a potential federal civil rights lawsuit.
Radical homosexuals will terrorize day cares, hospitals and churches.
