Salamander Crossing


Residing in a state where some of the most bewildering and flat out stupid things happen every day with our tax money should bolster my ability against being surprised by political idiots blowing money they don’t earn. Even I did a double take at Vermont’s $150,000 tax grant for a salamander crossing. Elected representatives who invent insane ways to spend taxpayer money should face immediate recall so the folks actually earning the money these self important jerks waste can send them back home where they can throw away their own money.

The real problem to me is the cost. They could easily do the same thing for probably 10,000 or less.

When they get down to fifty bucks by private donation, I’m in. A big problem with this that gets me laughing, Charles – salamanders and other lizards they’re making a tunnel for can’t read. Are they going to hire a lizard crossing guard? I realize they’re going to put it in the most used path but so what? How about the lizards who don’t like other lizards or at least ones different from them, like green ones? Will they have segregated tunnels? This stuff is pure idiocy at any price – but only in my cold hearted… I mean cold blooded opinion. :)

I am still waiting to here your take on the white militia terrorist organization that they recently busted. What gives? I thought you'd be all over that one. (Terrorist militia>Salamanders)

BernardL said...

You dig your tunnels and I'll dig mine John. :) Actually, I thought since Mark Potak and his Southern Poverty Law Center, Che Guevara group is already on the case I thought I'd stick with innocent until proven guilty.

John said...

So then, if a child wears a t shirt to school he's a terrorist, but if a militia member plots to kill police and over throw the government their innocent until proven guilty?

BernardL said...

No, the child's raised by idiots. The child is innocent. Apparently you're confused about the words accused and guilty, John. The Hutaree people are US citizens and unless they've been tried and convicted without my hearing about it, yes innocent until proven guilty - unlike the Muslim terrorists they want to try in New York as if they were citizens.

I still remember the brave FBI and ATF sending a hundred agents to Ruby Ridge, where over a trumped up sawed off shotgun charge one of their snipers executed the man's wife and eleven year old son. Then another incident you're even more familiar with at Waco, Generalisimo Reno's siege ended in the deaths of seventy-six men, women, and children over an accusation against the leader Koresh. Yeah, I'm a little skeptical.

Where are all these operations against real cop killers in our big cities where organized gangs like the Crips, Bloods, MS13, and countless others terrorize citizens and murder police in reality. I guess it's a lot safer going against a Militia people who aren't running drugs and weapons.

My point here Bernie is that there seems to be a large disparity between your screeds on terrorists when it involves anything muslim and your lack of anything to say when it involves white terrorists such as the Hutaree. The rhetoric in your blogs is volitle and angry when you talk about the "muslim terrorist threat" but strangly silent and mute when other local white groups terrorize and spew angry racist rhetoric. It implies a double standard. It also feels slightly racist to me. I am all for inocent until proven guilty and I "apparently" do know the difference. I also know that it should be applied accross the board and equally to all of those accused.

First off John, we're at war with Muslim Terrorists, no one has proven the Hutaree guilty of anything other than being duped by an FBI agent just like Randy Weaver at Ruby Ridge. Since you seem to reside in a separate reality where we are at war with imaginary Hutaree organizations blowing up the twin towers and Muslim groups at peace with the world why don't you start your own blog to enlighten the world. I don't remember issuing a decree for you to come here and read my posts, especially since you hijacked my Salamander Crossing thread because you have a beef about my blog subjects. It's still a free country, for a short time anyway - why don't you create your own public soapbox and ignore mine since it upsets you so much.

One last thing. When you decide to call me a racist again, do it to my face. You know where I live and where I work. Know this - when you do, we won't be debating the subject with words so bring it - anytime... anywhere.
