Mr. Corrado certainly hates the Tea Party. I wonder what the Tea Party ever did to him? Oh yeah, they won at the ballot box in Elbert County by the hands of a majority of voters. In fact, Mr. Corrado’s party helped them win. Oops, I guess.
Mr. Corrado, evidently, thought he could control the Tea Party candidates, once elected, through the various Democrat-dominated agencies of the planning commission, the water advisory board, the oil & gas advisory board, and various ad hoc regulation-writing committees – all of which Democrat Party Vice Chairman Corrado had weaseled his way onto, in some role or another.
From the tenor of Mr. Corrado’s recent writing, I guess that isn’t panning out. The Tea Party devils became “potentates” in pursuit of the “narrow interests of a small minority of ideological radicals,” slavishly devoted to the totalitarian precepts of North Korea and East Germany before the Berlin Wall came down. Just who are these Bilderburgers of Elbert County who’ve secretly enslaved the BOCC?
Anyway, they don’t sound like Tea Party people to me. I thought “Tea” was an acronym for “taxed enough already.” Oops, again, Mr. Corrado.
One would hope the pendulum has finally begun to swing against the councils of Elbert County Democrat elders who drove Elbert County into an economic back-eddy over the last decade in the names of Country in County, Smart Growth, and a swag of environmental shibboleths.
This swinging pendulum isn’t good for Mr. Corrado, who apparently came to like the comforting corruptions of power and influence. The majority of voters told him they wanted a Tea Party administration, and he was fine with that at the time, even remained so after his party helped elect them – when they were appointing him to all sorts of advisory positions.
But it’s Mr. Corrado, who doesn’t understand how a real democratic republic works. His version of “democratic republic” is a republic controlled by a bunch of Democrats, which is much closer to the communist experiments in North Korea and East Germany he likes to hang around the necks of a couple Tea Party office holders, elected by a free majority of voters.
I hope the rude education in free market principles of Mr. Corrado and his planning, zoning, regulating buddies, continues and puts Elbert County on a track to develop a job base from productive, capitalized, economic activities. We’ve had enough democratic republic experiments in Elbert County.
