Response to Schneeberger

August 22, 2023 by Guest Post

by Helen Sabin, Corvallis

John Schneeberger (JS) showed his true colors in his letter on August 8 and before that in 2022 when he ran for Senate District 43 against Jason Ellsworth.  His Freudian slips then, and now, clearly show that he is a power-hungry “nobody” who is seeking attention and is a hidden tyrannical type of thinker when he states, “It is our moral duty to the ‘Republic’ not to allow just another difference of opinion.”

He seems to be an adherent of Maxine Waters of CA who told the crowd at a gathering last year and on TV what to do about Trump supporters: “Get in their faces. Tell them they are not welcome here if they choose to hang with Trump.” 

We Bitterrooters did not trust JS in 2022, and did not vote for him, nor should we in the future as he is a Democratic ideologue who ignores all the egregious actions by Biden and company while excoriating Trump and his supporters for wanting “The Donald,” as president rather than mentally ill, stunningly corrupt, and incompetent Joe Biden who lies every chance he gets.

And as far as no court hearing Trump’s case about voter fraud, what Schneeberger fails to point out is that three on SCOTUS – the conservatives, Justices Alito, Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas, in an AP story about the Supremes, February 22, 2021, called the cases Trump brought to the court about election fraud an “ideal opportunity” to address an important question as to whether state lawmakers or state courts get the last word about the manner in which federal elections are carried out.

Further, Thomas called the action by the other justices to NOT take the cases, “befuddling” and “inexplicable” that his colleagues were declining to weigh in. They apparently do not care that there were claims and enough proof about fraudulent elections to take a look at it. Cowards in action, aren’t they?

The Founding Fathers knew that unless we have jurists of impeccable honor, who are willing to accept responsibility to America, the USA would end up like many Third World countries. Their actions make our Constitution worthless. Mark Levin pointed out the egregious rulings done by the court in his book, “Men In Black,” and this is just another along that line.

Justice Thomas also recognized the failure of SCOTUS when he stated, “We failed to settle this dispute before the election, and thus provide clear rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections… By doing nothing, we invite further confusion and erosion of voter confidence.” Alito added that the cases “call out for review.”  

If the courts do NOT care about fair, honest and non-fraudulent elections, then what is our future going to be in America? Our status as the world’s leading country is already under threat with the second downgrade of our country’s credit worthiness and both times the downgrades were under Democratic control – Obama and Biden.

The possibility of election fraud and not wanting to deal with it speaks poorly of our judicial system, especially when computer scientists and other technologists and election integrity experts had warned members of Congress about abstract machine vulnerabilities.  

If Trump is as bad as Schneeberger claims, I wonder what JS thinks about Biden.  Now it would be interesting reading for John to discuss Biden’s non-existent accomplishments and lies in another letter. Want to bet he would never do so?  Ideologues see only one point of view and it is usually harmful and deleterious to and about others.

    “….rather than mentally ill, stunningly corrupt, and incompetent Joe Biden who lies every chance he gets..”

    “Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings.”

    What a screed. What’s the matter with you people anyways? John has been a businessman and citizen of Ravalli Co. for decades and you just feel free to try and smear him in public? The road to hell is paved with fetishes like “Founding Father” infallibility and books written by “god”. You want ‘founding fathers’? Im the direct descendant of a guy who was at the battle where the American flag was invented (Silas Halsey), joined the Navy during a war cuz I was taught to get a catch in my throat to the Star Spangled Banner, been working class all my life and the lower back issues to prove it, worked for John for a number of years as a matter of fact, and have learned a thing or two about claiming a bunch of slaveholding elites were infallible. I’ve learned I can still honor my ancestors while reading actual history. Try it sometime.

      Schneeberger is out in the OPEN with his comments BILL. If he doesn’t want comments to be published in reply to HIS comment then he needs to stop writing OP EDS doesn’t he?

      IF he can’t stand the heat, he needs to not be in the kitchen. You too – It doesn’t matter John’s background – it’s his CURRENT WORDS and the intent of them that tell the tale.
