Louie Gohmert Tells Bureau of Land Management: ‘Keep Up The Arrogance’ – We’ll Cut Your Budget
Conservative Treehouse ^ | 06-02-2015

Posted on 06/02/2015 10:57:55 PM PDT by Kevin in California

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) told two federal land officials, “I come bearing good news. I think if your employees keep up the arrogance, keep denying access to the land then very soon we’ll be able to dramatically cut your employees back and start turning those powers over to the states.”

Love ya, Louie, but there’s no reason to believe that more than a handful of Repubs would support any meaningful cut/reduction. They have fooled us far too many times.

Pete Townshend said it best all those years ago...

If only ALL government officials - local and federal - thought this way, what a wonderfully different nation this would be!

Thats because most of them are in fact ‘their’ guys and ‘we’ are to gutless to accept it.

\If I had my way there would only be about a 1000 employs the bulk being in Washington And 2-5 in each state BLM would have no real power and only be there in a advisory capacity for the states and for the president. no rule making ability and very limited enforcement ability

Well, when I look at how many people insist on making excuses for the actions of the GOP I have to assume they either are part of the corruption themselves or get a charge or flashing the yellow stripe running down their backs. If there is some other argument to be made as to why they continue to vote for corrupt liberals with a magical unicorn derived R by their names, I would be interested in discovering it.

And the traditional excuses about the evils of democrats are pure crap in light of the Mitch/Bhoner campaign promise, fulfilled BTW, to work WITH the evil that is Barack Hussien Obama.
