Comment on Wyoming cutting free vaccines for insured children by Jo Aelfwine

Jo Aelfwine — Thu, 12 May 2011 14:10:48 +0000

Just because people have insurance doesn’t mean they can afford to use it. So now it begins in Wyoming, too. I had hoped we could avoid the GOP virus of cutting services to the most vulnerable. It’s not like we can’t afford the extra-what? 500?-vacinations. And since salaries have been frozen for another two years what else does he have to do with the extra cash? If you think the GOP has a heart, think again. Compassion is not part of the party platform.

Comment on BLM considering up to 1 million acres for oil-shale in Wyoming by Jo Aelfwine

I’m thinking Wyoming needs to change it’s fixation from oil and gas to wind and solar while we still have a beautifyl state in which to live and raise our kids and grandkids. How do we expect to get it back once it’s gone?

Senator Mike and Senator John are really nice guys, just doing their jobs, representing the special interests that control this fascist state we live in.
Aint Wyomin great!

Websters: “Fascists organize the economy and politics and policy along corporate perspectives.” So, naturally, the good people of Wyoming (ENERGY CAPITAL OF AMERICA! USA! USA! USA!) should NOT be allowed to know what companies are buying politicians to “democratically” control their future.
Citizens in Wyoming should shut up…or “get on the same page” with the fascist reality that is Anbar Province, USA! USA! USA!

Example One:
2000, Governor’s Office chief of staff, Rita Meyer calls a vp at UW and threatens the university, financially, if it proceeds with research “without state authority”.

2006 and 2011: The 2nd Amendment trumped the First because Governor Matt has three military assault rifles and is willing (in both years) to dispatch armed DCI thugs to terrorize law-biding, involved citizens who oppose the NRA (expecially this citizen, who in 2006 captured telephone switch evidence at the State phone switch in Cheyenne: Of DCI Deputy Director, Kebin Wade Haller, making anonymous, threat calls from his office phone to silence opposition.

Because of Wyoming fascism, I’ve seen research at the UW killed, been attacked in my home by armed DCI thugs who suspended my right to petition the state legislature because (DCI State Operations Commander, Forrest Clay “Frosty” Williams) “Well, the first paragraph here is goofy!”

When I posted that online in 2007, I was attacked on I-80 by DCI thug Robert Leazenby. He let me go with a warning (DCI can murder me on Wyoming’s wide open roads, any time they want to). The political violence of Wyoming is as clear as day and everybody goes along with it…ha ha ha “Wyoming’s an energy colony that speaks English! ha ha ha!” I spit on the fascism of Wyoming and especially on Matt Mead’s secret police killers.

Clearly Enzi and Barrasso are concerned with corporate rights as they always have been. You are living in a dream world if you think those two have ever been concerned with the rights of the individual or an individuals first amendment rights. The Regressive party of NO is now made up of the most negative group of people we have ever seen in America.

And to think that, come July 1, this “Real Wyomin” idiot can be carrying- without a permit- a concealed automatic weapon….AND drinking…AND “being justified” in whatever “use” for the weapon… that his hillbilly Wyoming brain can rationalize! Go Wyomin!

Comment on 10 Wyoming teachers recognized by Arch Coal by John

John — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 00:09:47 +0000

This is very nice, to recognize teachers who have probably, in their careers, spent $3,500 of their own money on the additional supplies needed to fully instruct their students. Bravo to Arch Coal. I would like to know the criteria used to select these teachers. I pray it wasn’t related to the teachers being “the best” at incorporating coal industry propaganda into the “this is the Wyoming way to boosting the carbon footprint, so we can all be employed by good companies like Arch Coal!” curriculum. The word, propaganda, comes from the Latin verb, “Propagare” (to teach) The word education comes from “Educare” (to draw out from). Without lingering on cynical doubt, I am happy to see teachers rewarded for being who they are in the critical years of youth, where critical thinking is developed and made into (later) applied expertise that benefits the world- not just going-nowhere (because the state’s labor market is in the pocket of “big industry” like coal, gas, state government, etc. I just got off the phone with LA…virtual reality, consciousness, charity, 10.4% state income taxes…and billions in an economy that is 8th in the world and 13% of America’s GDP. No need there for everybody to carry an unregistered concealed weapon and spit bullets. Ah Wyoming!

Somehow, the thought of BP investigating this doesn’t fill me with confidence.

Comment on Wyoming senators disappointed that EPA reg ban failed by Brad Buckner

To Russ—

I am sorry to tell you this Russ but it is( you ) that are ignorant and short sighted. It is because of you lack of education on fossil fuels, carbon,green plants, oxygen, food and the balance of life on earth and the way God created the earth that makes you say the things you just said.
I will bet you are a Dem-lib- socialist, that claims to believe in God but has never studied the Bible and learned who God really is. You sound like an angry s ( subject ) uneducated person that just repeats the liberal talking points,,, with NO research on your own. Have a great nd Godly day.
