Unacceptable, absurd and ridiculous

Perhaps the governor should look in a mirror. He is, in his words, acting and speaking as if he and his words are “unacceptable, absurd and ridiculous.” Look at his statements on the wolf issue alone.

A year ago, while his party was ascendant and majority, he was all in favor of retaining wolves on the Endangered Species list, and seemed to not give a rat’s behind what others thought who disagreed with that view.

Then, the Legislature changed to “the other party”, and suddenly he was singing the tune environmental groups had thrust down our throats in the first place - when all parties agreed to certain numbers of wolves and numbers of packs that would allow for de-listing, and perhaps even be considered “recovered.” Now, all of a sudden, Mr. B. S. seems to be paying attention to “science”: the wolf has now far exceeded the agreed-upon numbers and packs, and now Mr. Schweitzer is all in favor of the “conservative” view on the subject, even going so far as to state that any pack that kills an elk should be eradicated.

Well, according to the environmentalist dogma, the scientific dogma of Yellowstone National Park management itself, wolves chase and eat elk, and that is a “good thing”, and one of the primary reasons for having YNP be a focal point for the release of the invasive Canadian Gray Wolf (from the tundra far north of Montana). Since elk are, eventually, going to be killed by wolves throughout Montana, when and if they are encountered, Mr. Schweitzer now would seem, logically (not “absurdly”), to be advocating for and promoting the elimination of the wolf from Montana.

“unacceptable, unconstitutional, absurd and ridiculous.”

I suggest the Governor look up the meanings of those words, and keep himself and his tyrannical minions out of our pockets, and away from local school districts, their interference with violates the Montana Constitution. We can no longer afford to fund every pet and petty project that some stupid “liberal” dreams up.

As for the schools, they do not need computers and calculators to learn and do math, reading and writing. Nor do schools need a third bathroom for the “other, not to be named” sex the same liberals promote.

I went to school from the 1950’s through 1972, and never used an electronic device to do my math or check my spelling. We used our brains. I learned my times table, and I learned to spell, and I learned to write. How does our Governor think the Founders of Montana, and before that, the Framer-founders of the United States, ever did anything without “electronic devices” and teacher “aides?’

To listen to Mr. Schweitzer and others, you’d think no one can do anything without a battery pack.

Reading. Writing. Arithmetic.

That is all the schooling that is necessary to assist anyone getting through life.

Consider the word “necessary;” have you heard the latest stuff from “government” about “non-essential employees”!? Those same “types” were whining in Wisconsin lately, worrying about their status if the evil Republicans had their way in the Legislature! As the saying today goes, “Well, duh!”

If an employee -- or a process -- is “non-essential”, then what the Devil is it doing in our schools or in our government!?

When they get rid of those useless (purposeless) “non-essential” employees, they can work over to Apple and Windows products and work their way down, even to the pencil sharpeners. Knives work fine.

Schools, Mr. Schweitzer, will survive the minor cuts. But those who suck at the teat of government apparently never learn to do for themselves, and will have to suffer to fix what is wrong in Montana and the United States. Unlike the way the “civilian population” has always had to do, pay their own bills, find salaries, and learn long ago to survive without government hand-outs, or stupid experiments that show little more than the incompetence of the promoters of such stupid experiments.
