Judging by Jake Goodrick’s editorial March 7 he thinks the Campbell County voters are ill informed, backward or stupid hillbillies that don’t know who should be voted into office. Del Shelstad and Colleen Faber won by the largest vote count in county history and then we elected two equally conservative commissioners.

The News Record won’t print excerpts from the books and the local radio station won’t read them aloud all because it violates federal law to air this raunchy material. Yet, we’re the carnival for trying to remove this filth from the public library and protect children in this community.

I agree! It's a small minority screaming about burning and banning books when all that is being asked is that they are moved. I would say the majority of people supporting the garbage in the library haven't even taken the time to read the books in question. Young children do not need to know about the complexities of such acts. Our job as parents is to let them have a happy and healthy childhood free from indoctrination! It says a lot when the liberal rag News Records won't even print the garbage but yet allows people to rant against the ones who are trying to keep the filth out of the hands of children! I can't even post the word S E X on here without getting flagged!

Perhaps we need to see the Bible removed as it is based on indoctrination and contains information about intercourse. As this is lude text, it does not fit within your community standards.

“I agree! It's a small minority…” Well of course you do. Fascists always attack small groups of people that they think are vulnerable. Unfortunately for you, we have your number and will keep bringing the public’s attention to your lies and propaganda.

“…all that is being asked is that they are moved.” Maybe you should read Sage Bear’s revised collection development policy. These fascists won’t stop until they have a Campbell County ‘re-education camp’.

Concerning your poor children: The Campbell County Library Children and Teen Policy says: “Children 3rd grade or younger must have a parent or caregiver nearby or in the vicinity of the children's area.” Here’s another little fact: 4th grade students are usually 9 or 10 years old. So, until YOUR children make it to fourth grade ( early twenties? ) you are obligated to supervise them and you can guide them away from books that deal with S E X or reveal that Santa Clause, the tooth fairy and puppets are not real.

Elections have consequences, don't ya know?

ANAL INTERCOURSE, yeah I wonder how many children read GilletteNative’s comment, went ‘Duh’ and Googled it. How simple minded does one have to be to rant about children reading about anal intercourse and then put it in a comment that can be read by three year olds. ( according to the Christofascists ) Now the library will have to stop getting the News Record. Thanks for demonstrating your total lack of concern for the children and total lack of common sense. If you are going to be a troll you need you up your game.

GilletteNative

Yes, by all means, keep revealing your true colors. It is entertaining to see you out yourselves for your support of the garbage in the library. Who in their SANE mind thinks it is appropriate for children to read about anal intercourse? But you do think it's ok, don't you? Keep outing yourselves because the more you do, the more people will oppose what you are doing.

D@+n I wanted to be the to name them what they are..Christofascists but you beat me to it!

jesorenson

WHAT?!? Is this supposed to make sense?

Howie Dewitt

Del Shelstad and Colleen Faber are god botherers who push their christofascist agendas on the citizens of Campbell County.

Based on their rather large wins in the elections, perhaps you are in the fringe minority...but keep using ad hominen attacks, they are so effective...

I love the excuse that the "rather large majority" of voters who voted for the far-right Trumplicans have put people in office who don't see anything beyond the end of their nose which is stuck in a Bible. People are waking up and I doubt the next election will be as favorable to the christofascists (good name for them). Most of the bills that were supported by the Wyoming Freedom Caucus are sitting in garbage cans now, and the recent election of precinct elections was very close between the normal Rebublicans and the insane faction. And now with crossover voting dead, you can count on a number of people who don't agree with the intolerable MAGA "conservative" to be voting for reasonable candidates. So, let's see how many consequences the next election has. I'm betting it is going to put people in office who actually care about the future of Wyoming.

GilletteNative

I doubt that but we shall see. People are fed up with far left policies, your king Biden has sealed that fact. As for people who are stuck in the bible, it's a great place to be. Thankfully, it gives us a moral compass to discern what is and what isn't appropriate, especially when it comes to what children should and should not read. Just because you favor the garbage in the library, doesn't mean we have to. Just because you favor "family friendly" dr*g shows, doesn't mean we have to. Your group has been on a mission to smother everyone with your degradation without much push back until the last couple of years when a group of concerned citizens had had enough. Better learn to deal with it because we are not going away. Parents across the country are pushing back on inappropriate books in public and school libraries. If you got your eyes off CNN and MSNBC, you would know that. It isn't just Campbell County, it's across the country. In fact, the founder of G*ys Against Gr**omers is also opposed to the garbage or didn't you know about that fact. It isn't just MAGA conservative pushing back. Oh and one more thing, Kathy, you forgot to capitalize the C in Christofascists and forget that GOD ALWAYS WINS. Have a splendid day!

FactChecker

Thank you GilletteNative for the update from your sick, sick, sick world. Maybe you should do a little more research before advertising your gullibility. Googling ‘G*ys Against Gr**omers’ and there’s Tucker the liar Carlson’s pretty face. And Googling ‘Is G*ys Against Gr**omers real?’ will lead to all kinds of data on how this is another astroturf [not grassroots] con job from tRumplandia. Do better.

Let's add up the number of children sexually assaulted at drag shows vs churches, shall we?

If you looked at something other than FQX you would know that people all across the country are pushing back against censorship in libraries and schools and in many places, they are winning. And God doesn't always win, that should be obvious by the number of people who are leaving right-wing evangelical churches all across the country because of your hate and intolerance. It's only a matter of time before you all fade into oblivion. Then God will have won, because true Christians are not racist, homophobes. Have a blessed day.

GilletteNative

It shouldn't surprise me that you would twist the teachings of God and Jesus to fit your narrative. If you think for one moment that God would condone children reading sexual material, you are all a lost cause because He most certainly wouldn't. You twist the word love to mean something it doesn't and you twist the bible teachings to fit whatever is on the agenda that day. And you are so wrong Kathy, God always wins. Those that fall away do so because their false idol Jesus doesn't fit with Jesus of the bible. They want to pretend that Jesus would condone homosexuality, p*rnography, same sex marriage, etc but none of that is biblical. Jesus sat with prostitutes and murderers in order to love them and reveal their sin. It was up to them whether they followed him or not. Much like it is today, the bible and holy spirit reveal the sin, people either accept it or reject it and find something that suits them so they feel comfortable and accepted in their so called false "christianity". Only a false Jesus would condone children being sexualized and that seems to be the one many follow nowadays.

FactChecker

God always wins. That’s why he placed you in your sick, sick, sick little world with other sick, sick, sick little people. We’ll continue to pray for you.

Meanwhile - Were you nearly as motivated to ‘save the children’ when tRump ripped apart immigrant families and scattered their children all over the country to unknown fates? Did you shed tears over these vulnerable children? Does your little Christian heart bleed for immigrant children removed from their families and held in cages? Nah, you are just another overpaid fascist troll living in your mother’s basement.

FactChecker

Since you are going all biblical, here’s two Bible verses for you GilletteNative and your sick, sick, sick Sisti world:

John 8:7 – “…He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone…” said as He saved an adulterer from stoning by the original Sisti cult.

Matthew 7:1 - Judge not, that ye be not judged. (You need to read the rest of the sermon because it holds a promise that ‘what goes around comes around’. Warned you have been.)

Those ‘untwisted’ words apply to you and your employer dear troll. Still praying for you.

FactChecker

Oh! While we are here GilletteNative, you haven’t replied to my request on March 14, 2023 for just three names of local children that have been sexualized by the library collection or three year olds that had their gender modified because of a library book. Times a wasting troll buddy! Prove that this isn’t a fake crisis like your ‘G*ys Against Gr**omers’ fake organization.
