Regime Change. The American Answer to Illegitimate Tyranny

Submitted to Shelton Blog by Clear Cut

Have our County Commissioners forgotten their oath to serve the people?
It seems as if they have crowned themselves as royal tyrants that have forgotten their masters are the electorate. These self appointed tyrants think they are smarter and wiser than the electorate in making choices about how we, the serfdom, will live and what we will do collectively with OUR tax money. In refusing to pose important questions to the electorate, our tyrant political class (and their pawns at the Chamber of Commerce) have decided FOR US how we will live, what we will collectively build, what our town, environment and lifestyle will be.

In doing so, like our last tyrant King George, they have pitted neighbor against neighbor....oh, and lined the pockets of their corporate masters. Too bad corporations don't have a vote.

Clueless and irrational tyrants like Lynda Ring Erickson decry the results of their own irresponsibility in failing to resolve questions the American way.....by voting. Lynda, can we mail you a clue? There are several ways that Americans resolve differences. We have a long history of overthrowing ego-maniacal tyrants when they attempt to deny us our preferred method of resolving differences....VOTING. Americans are okay with winning or losing a fair discussion at the ballot box.

If the political class acts irresponsibly and doesn't let the people peacefully settle the question, the disagreement lingers and builds, especially when it comes to a question so important and substantial that it will change the lives and lifestyles of the people for decades to come.

In running around town spreading rumors about name calling and other improprieties, Lynda Ring Erickson is simply illustrating her own arrogance and lack of respect for the American way, and drawing attention to her own culpability in the result. Lynda thinks she is discrediting her opponents, when what she is actually doing is highlighting her irresponsibility and the arrogance of the county commissioners in failing to uphold their oath to serve the people.

County Commissioners....Get a clue! When it comes to life changing important decisions, it is best to understand when you are in over your head and put the question to The People.
