A lot of these Christian warriors and Obama Derangement victims need to resign, en masse.

This Wingnut Sheriff who has pledged an oath to the extremist Oathkeepers over the oath to his own State and job needs to be reminded his Office belongs to the State that pays him, not to his Wingnut ideology.

"This rhetoric, which focuses on an oath to follow the Constitution and a refusal to violate that oath, is peculiar to the Oath Keepers. The Oath Keepers describe themselves as an “association of current and formerly serving military, police, and first responders, who pledge to fulfill the oath all military and police take to ‘defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.'” Oath Keeepers played a major role in the armed standoff between federal agents and supporters of the racist Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy in 2014. Their website prominently touts their offer to provide a “security detail” to anti-gay Kentucky clerk Kim Davis in order to “protect her against unlawful arrest” (Davis’s attorneys declined this offer)."

The world can not afford any more to amuse these reality deniers:

He is sheriff, in county were I live... Never really paid any attention to him since I have no reason to interact with law enforcement here, I live so remotely that they even tell me up front that we are on our own mostly since any trouble will be well over by the time they could possibly get here,... I know who not to vote for next time around anyway although in thei red enclave my vote won't make a lot of difference

he'll admit that he and his Oath Keeper buddies are delusional, that Sandy Hook was even more horrific than the shooting in his own jurisdiction and that it's time to examine our attitudes and laws on guns.


I'm not holding my breath.

Problem? Yes and there is a big one right there. Repukes always turn their job into their personal stupid mindset of the world.

Don't look for this creep to do the right thing and vacate his position. The voters of Douglas County need to take action.
