The bad news is that a majority of voters in Harney County want to keep corrupt business as usual local officials like Steven Grasty in office.

The good news is that 30 percent of the voters are in a 'revolutionary mood' to remove corrupt business as usual local officials like Steven Grasty.

Economic statistics on Harney County, a county that once thrived with local private industry like logging 50 years ago, show that over 10 percent of the workforce is employed by the federal government and over 30 percent is employed by the state government, pretty much all of them engaged in controlling the land of Harney County.

You add in the folks who work for the local government and the government education system, you get the picture.

Most voters aren't going to vote against their 'bread and butter', so to speak.

But as I said there's 30 percent of the voters who are willing to go to extraordinary means to change things.

Sounds like the locals don’t cotton to outside agitators.

Welp, that’s it then.

You can get 30 percent to vote against Jesus Christ. It’s the basic opposition vote.

Looks like the so-called rugged individualists in Eastern Oregon are nothing but boot lickers, dependent on urban taxes. The cows in the pasture are nothing but a tax break.

So ends the U.S. ..... once a nation of self reliance and self government.

Now they sit placidly in their trailer parks, waiting for the tiny check to come from D.C., where their masters live.

Many of them are making their money as government employees managing control of the land and the suppression of the farmers and ranchers from making a non-government living.

The Federal gov parasites should get off the people’s land. Yes, GIVE IT BACK. Then the bureaucrats should go out into their parking lot and await a call that their service is needed. If no call within three days, go get a real job.
