Anyone going to Ryan event must take shuttle from Tanglewood Mall, police say

Paul Ryan

Roanoke County police have issued the following advisory for those planning to attend Wednesday’s appearance by Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan at Northwest Hardware on Brambleton Avenue:

The Roanoke County Police Department is working with the U.S. Secret Service to provide security for GOP Vice-Presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s visit to the Roanoke region on Wednesday August 22, 2012. The event is being held at Northwest Hardware 3647 Brambleton Avenue, Roanoke, VA. Due to extremely limited parking at the event, attendees will need to take the shuttle which is being operated from the west corner of Tanglewood Mall (near the intersection of Ogden and Electric Roads) to the event on Brambleton. For security purposes and to streamline access, persons wishing to attend will need to obtain a ticket for admission at: http://mi.tt/RxCRDD

Although traffic will remain open on Brambleton Avenue, the event is expected to impact the normal traffic patterns. Persons and motorists not involved with the event are encouraged to either avoid the area or take alternate routes. For patrons of the businesses along the Brambleton Avenue corridor, those operations have indicated they will maintain their normal hours of operations.

Doors Open at 7:00 AM and the event begins: 8:45 AM

All attendees will go through airport-like security and should bring as few personal items as possible. No bags, sharp objects, umbrellas, liquids, or signs will be allowed in the venue. Cameras are permitted. Increased staffing is assigned to ensure the safe and orderly movement of all in attendance.

    Perhaps the good people of the Roanoke Valley will ask some questions:

    Honorable Mr Ryan, a nominal Roman Catholic, has exuded worshipful praise for Ayn Rand – a prominent radical ANTI-CHRISTIAN. He even was invited and spoke at a tribute to her. She has been called by a ‘goddess’ to Republican (and other) economic conservatives.

    One of this goddess’ prominent and primary dicta is ‘The Weak Should Not Be Loved’.

    Mr Ryan’s plans, indeed, express this value: that the weak should not be loved. Who are the weak: the sick, the elderly, the disabled and impaired, victims of prejudice and oppression, infants and children, etc. Mr Ryan’s plans would mangle support systems by which the weak can live.

    One would hope that TEA Parties would speak up, since they express an interest in rights of human dignity and human liberty, and many TEA Party folk appear to be concerned with the belief that liberty has Godly foundations and Godly purposes. But even TEA Parties appear to care-less under the ANTI CHRISTIAN/ANTI-CHRIST banner: The Weak Should Not Be Loved. There is no greater perversion of truth than claiming to respect the rights of human dignity, while contributing to the mangling of human rights.

    Certainly, there is no greater ANTI-CHRISTIAN/ANTI-CHRIST teaching than the Republicans’ goddess’s dicta: ‘The Weak Should Not Be Loved’.

    With the Republicans and TEA Parties and others – even those claiming to be believers in Jesus Christ – pursuing perversions of truth, adulation of idols, and abominations of desolation… one wonders if it is the Republicans’ plan to hasten the End Times?

    Ahhh, but the God at The End may not be smiling on idolators.
