| Excuses, political double-speak have worn thin |
|---|
| Letter - Whitley |
|---|
It is fair to say Mr. Vogelsong and I have not seen eye to eye on occasion. Nonetheless, I empathize and agree with him in his recent letter [May 1 issue]. And now that the Petty Potentates, known locally as the Idaho County Commissioners, have voiced their rebuke toward Mr. Vogelsong, perhaps a translation is necessary. Third World "political-speak" is difficult for most citizens to understand - that is why common potentates speak it. Ignorance covers all manner of corruptions. Anyhow when these gentlemen, so-called, say: "make this change at bit [sic] easier for everyone involved" that roughly translates into: "don't be uppity, know your place," or "how dare you question us." After all, these same fellows claimed in January that they were "free to join any organization we want" basically meaning that they were free to use the county's public money to do so, without any accountability whatsoever, without common due diligence and without any evident legal authority. Legal authority has no sway in the Third World. Ask any regime-favored felon. Their double speak, you see, is to be considered gospel, a thin gruel proffered as filet mignon. And you'd better be appreciative for it, too.
The Republican Dominion of Idaho now boasts the lowest wages of any state in the Union, a fact which their erstwhile supreme potentate, Mr. Otter, is all too proud to advertise to multi-national cronies... "our people know their place." After six decades, that Republican foot on the neck of Idaho feels more and more like a common Third World jackboot. All their excuses and political double-speak have worn as thin and runny as their ideological gruel...as if one could sustain a free people with it. John Lansing (a true Founding Father, unlike the pretenders) said in 1787: "Corruption will find its channel." And, so it has. Incidentally, a "do over," as it was styled, is more properly spelled "recall"... in any place, that is, other than the Third World.
