You sound just like a liberal puppet.

And you sound like an idiot, because he's right.

Buh-bye now.

So damn righteous of you. Give me liberty or give me death is another one
to remember, don't ya think?
Of course, legally, you are correct in your statement!
Equality is very important, overall.
Hell, in one school in the state I live in, they just built a grade school
for many millions of dollars and over 70% of the students are children of
illegal immigrants (who always pay their fair share of the taxes). I am just
so proud that a lot of my taxes are helping those poor illegals and their
children out. Hell, their children even get free lunches while most of the
children of legals, have to pay for their own lunches.
Hell, if I had a place to rent and some of those illegal parents wanted to
rent it, I would have to rent it to them (legally) then spend time, legal
fees and loss of revenue to evict them within six months because they can't
pay the rent. Equal rights for all, sure, it sounds good as long is it
doesn't negatively affect you.

As you so 'proudly' stated "When justice is denied, everyone should care".
Now that is equality in real time, don't ya think?

What does that have to do with Mr. Bardwell? Nothing, directly.



PS: I would bet your are one of those closet NIMBY people, aren't you?

I believe that Keith Bardwell was acting in good conscience in his mind,
don't you?

I would expect based on his world view he did believe that and that David
Duke would agree with him. But that belief does not make either of them
right. in either their belief or in their actions.

WTF did you include David Duke? By including him you made a very judgemental
and misleading premise.
That's what Rush Limbaugh and the Republican Party do all the time; Take
facts and twist them up to supposedly support their views.

Keith's actions were what he believed in, but, I also believe that they were
not the proper 'legal' actions of a civil servant.

Happens I grew up in the area (summers at least), my mother was born in
Baton Rouge and raised outside of Abida Springs/Covington, one grandmother
was born in the Tangipahoa Parish. The JP is known to my family. I
attended LSU with Duke and the JP's world view matches Duke's in many ways.
Only real difference in my opinion is Duke was much more overt in his
racism.

At one time, long past thank god, the JP's action would have gotten him
elected to higher office. Police Jury at the least perhaps Parish President.

And to answer your unasked question some members of my extended family are
also raciest so I know and recognize them up close and personal.

Did he carry out the duties of his job? If the duties require action, and
his conscience requires inaction, he should resign in protest.
