One of my maxims has been that the attitude of the staff is a reflection of the attitude of the management. Example from leaders leads.
Until slick willie came along most people and kids had not ever heard of oral sex and then it became mainstream to the point that we have an outbreak or oral sex diseases.
obastard has shown that there are not real laws. He picks and chooses which ones he follows so why shouldn’t everyone else?
This government is a sham. It upholds itself as righteous but it is as corrupt and contemptible as any on the planet. More so in fact because other are at least honest about their corruption.
I wondered how the Brits were able to manage India with such a small garrison. For awhile they did it because they upheld the law mostly equally for all. Something the Indians had never seen. When the Brits began not to do that their hold decayed. Something about consent of the governed isn’t it?
The GOP is no better than the DNC. It is all about money and power now. My wife noted that Kerry was after a peace prize because he already has money. McLame is afer, what? McFlake is after... what?
Honest and politician are not words that go together very often at all. I read once that politics is a course of action set upon to achieve an unavowed purpose. Sounds dishonest by definition to me. At least deceitful.
Hage first sued in 1991 - after 2 terms of Ronald Reagan and during the term of Bush Sr. At that point, Republican Presidents had been in charge of the BLM & USFS for 10 full years without interruption.
As the judge noted, the whole thing started when Hage added a note to his application saying he was not surrendering any rights he was entitled to, and the government used that EXCUSE to deny him a grazing permit that was in all other ways reasonable.
It is depressing to think that after 10 straight years of Republican administrations, the federal government was acting in a way that “shocks the conscience of the Court”!
