SandBoxBlogs: Comment Spotlight: " 'hammerandnails' on "Feds may investigate collaboration between school resource officers and ICE in Colorado" "

Due to his content within his comment, albeit truthful content or not, 'SandBox Nanny' has mixed emotions in giving the highly coveted by regional avatars 'Comment Spotlight' nod to nails today.

There were two deciding factors.

The first is that 'hammerandnails'  is ranked in the top three for traffic draws on SandBox.  He is listened to and that comes from his often succinct comments.  In this comment he nails the general feeling of so many conservatives, liberals and independents in our area that 'SandBox Nanny' feels she must listen to and acknowledge his words.

The second is that the post right before this one has the words of Texas Governor Rick Perry that are closely linked to one of the points 'hammerandnails' is speaking to.

Yes, God Bless an Independent and  Free Republic.

Here's to the little guy.  

'hammerandnails':
"As sad of a fact as it is, we get 100% more done out here.

As far as the liberal thing, God forbid.

Roughly 4 yrs. ago, when we all decided to burn our republican cards and go rogue, it was thanks to that sly old fox that we all can toss a retirement party for and thank her for being the singlemost catalyzing change ever in the history of 81601.

When 22 and I (sic) stood out in front of that Aspen Glen mcmansion and made up our minds on behalf of a friend, we knew it would be the politics that had to be sliced down first. Actually went up to the cabin, stood around the fire and made a ceremony out of tossing each red card in. Sometimes, waves of nostalgia still wash over each of us.

But then again, that feeling is easily gone when a body can sit back and read something like todays PI. That with record unemployment in the county, triple amounts of homeless and ten times that amount of county folks hungry and hurting, drug cartels, gangs, an unbelievable amount of waste spending in every thing from justice to admin, and either soft corruption or sheer stupidity of blind eyes looking the other way; our county GOP is only focused on the right to bear arms and personhood.

And that's even with some of our conservative own standing naked with no clothes in the thick of some of those problems.

God bless an Independent and Free Republic. "

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News/Letter to the Editor "Little guy gets burned again"

There was a time when Bruno Kirchenwitz had just a little, teeny bit of difficulty controlling his temper in local commentary.  Which made for a fracas or two between regional avatars and Bruno.

Since the shutting down of the infamous PI hub; Bruno has risen to the (sincerely) status of local hero in commentary when it comes to the topics of illegal foreign nationals or public education.

Here's to the little guy.

Let Freedom ring.

Bruno Kirchenwitz:
"Editor:

One school board begs for more taxpayer funds for the children, gets the extra funds for the children and promptly takes $1.4 million off the top for teacher bonuses. While every teacher gets $1,500 many non-teachers lose their jobs.

Another school board doesn’t fool the electorate and doesn’t get to hand out any bonuses.  Instead, they go to a four-day school week and save a half million at the expense of some 200 non-teaching staff. While no teacher loses a penny of pay, the cooks and janitors will each lose over $2,000 in pay annually.

Ain’t it funny how it’s always the little guy who takes it in the shorts?

I think it stinks...."  (Read more?  Click title)
