ELECTION: Not happy with results

I am quite frankly stunned. The outcome of the primary elections here in Kootenai County has left many of us at a loss to comprehend the thinking of our neighbors.

You re-elected incumbent prosecutor Barry McHugh, the very man infamous for bringing unconstitutional “hate crime” (thought crime) charges against any white victim of black assault. Has the cultural marxist anti-white hysteria so infected you that you prefer victims be locked away and the criminals set free? And do you really think a man should get 10 years to life in prison simply because someone of privileged minority class intuits that the man is motivated by politically incorrect thoughts? Really?

You also elected Ben Wolfinger as sheriff. He’s the fellow who calls the sheriff’s department a “paramilitary organization,” and flippantly dismisses what is arguably the biggest federal scandal in U.S. history and as well as the most immediate threat to his constituents’ liberty — the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) which claims for the government the latitude to abduct, indefinitely detain, or even assassinate Americans absent warrant, charges or trial. He actually referred to this well publicized mainstream news feature as “conspiracy theory.” And when asked if he’d protect the citizens of Kootenai County from such unlawful aggressions by federal agents he said, “If the government does it it must be legal.” Do you get that? The man has told you that he’s on the side of the out of control federal government. If they wish to abduct or assassinate you on your lawn it’s legal because ol’ “Fast and Furious” Eric Holder ordered the hit.

Until now I thought Kootenai County was a bastion of first principle American sentiment. But if this election was truly representative of your views I have sorely misjudged you. May God forgive you for the evil you’ve invited upon us and may your countrymen forget that you were ever numbered among us.
