Why oust Julie? Because he has different views than you?! I think we have enough liberals in our school districts, it would be nice for some balance there. In the meantime go find s safe space if you can’t hack it!
The public needs to know what kind of people are on our school board. I’m appalled he is on it. Remember he is only there because nobody ran against him. Im sure this will be his last term.
Of course you are offended, you are a liberal and you do not want to tolerate anything other than liberalism. End of story! People with different political backgrounds should be able to keep their jobs!! Not lose them because some one is offended by their views! Like I said , go find a safe place!!
This is a safe place!
Oh good, I am glad you feel that way. I guess I won’t have to worry about you wanting to take our guns then!
Yeah , you would like that dopey loser
?
It’s been fun!
Julie Keim Hannant That is an out and out lie. Joe went 3 won his seat in a 5 person race in 2009. In 2013 you lazy liberals didn’t put anyone up against any of the candidates. I am sure Joe is excited to whip whatever poor sap runs against him in 2017. https://ballotpedia.org/Joe_Messina
Like she said and now you said, no one ran against him….
Jennifer, just curious- how many “liberals” do we currently have in our school districts, and how many is too many? You say we have “enough”- how many is that?
Jason this is my opinion, don’t make it more than it is.
Jennifer Rodriguez I totally get that it’s your opinion, and it’s fine to have it- I just wanted to know on what it was based.
Jennifer Rodriguez freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. Just that you won’t be arrested and thrown in jail by the government for your views. There are consequences for hateful views if enough people are displeased with those opinions.
This is the consequence of conservativism the concentration of wealth and millions with nothing
I haven’t seen or heard of
any hateful things from Joe. So far it just looks like people want him oust because they disagree with his views, they can’t handle it! Freedom of speech is not a one way street.
Seems right, you know that 1% employs people…right?!
Jason who the hell are you that I have to explain anything. Sorry bud, not interested.
Pretty sad you refer to a safe place…. usually meant to help developmentally disabled, but keep throwing it around if it makes you feel better.
Jennifer Rodriguez Hey, it’s certainly your right not to explain anything- just as it’s also your right to state that that there are “enough liberals in our school districts” without being able to quantify how many liberals there are, how many we should have, or even why “liberals in our school districts” is bad.
I’m just wondering if you’re exercising the right not to explain because you can’t.
Jennifer Rodriguez If you’d look back at his comments, it seems to me that Jason was being rather respectful and, if anything, hoping to engage in a civil, educated dialogue with you in order to further understand your viewpoints. However, when he simply asked you to present the facts supoprting your feelings, you immediately become defensive and attack him when YOU were the one to so “liberally” post your opinions and feelings on this feed. You seemed to automatically assume Jason disagrees with your philosophies. Maybe he does, but so what? It is a democracy, right? For the sake of our community and America as a whole, please feel free to engage in a civil, educated exchange of thoughts. Shutting others down without supporting evidence/facts (hell, or even opinions) is quite the contrary.
Jennifer Rodriguez Joe has every right to express his feelings, just like the people of the SCV have the right to express that they think his thoughts are, perhaps, a little obtuse.
We live in a republic not a democracy. Please refer to the pledge of allegiance. That is exactly what I am talking about Alex, liberals want to shut down anyone who is not part of the agenda, it’s getting kinda old and bothersome. As for Jason , I bet he can fight his own battle if he felt like it. As for you, if you don’t like the way I put things at times to bad I’m not changing for you or anybody. Don’t like it don’t engage.

Awesome! I’m going to talk my husband into going over to his favorite shave ice place today! Wish me luck!
How well did that work? I laughed at you people then, and I laugh now. You people were too damn lazy to run someone against the guy, but you are not to lazy to start the nearly impossible task of recalling? To even think about a recall you would have to raise a 100k to get even started.
Joe-It’s President Obama, not Mr. Obama. I realize if he was white you would likely be more respectful.
allahu ackbar
So much I’d like to say about this… but a simple “LOL” and a roll of the eyes will have to suffice as the comments section would likely again divulge into a mediocre war of lame, misinterpreted memes.
This is true.. Nicely stated Joe… Despite what the grumpies will surely say…
Amen! Thanks for sharing that.
If “government” can’t do anything right why do you trust the “terrorism” narrative? It’s theater to secure “defense” contracts. Smartphones are more likely to cause you harm.
