Bastrop's Conservative Foolery: Red-Tape Retaliation, Jankety John, & Constitutional Crusaders to the Rescue

The socialist bureaucrat-infested city of Bastrop has deployed legal red-tape shenanigans to reject a petition to recall Mayor Lyle Nelson, a true patriot, over bogus ethics allegations. The petition, signed by 1,632 proud citizens URL, has exposed the deep-state plotters exceeding the necessary 25% threshold of registered voters.

However, some paper-pushing "interim city secretary," Irma Parker, declared that the 96-page petition lacked the necessary affidavits to support the recall. Typical bureaucratic nitpicking. The freedom-fighting petitioners have 10 days to fix this so-called "defect."

The recall effort is led by a band of righteous council members and ex-members, including John "Jankety John" Kirkland, who knows a thing or two about ethics himself, along with Kevin Plunkett, Cynthia Meyer, and Jimmy Crouch. They accuse our brave Mayor Nelson of violating ethics by standing up to the woke mob and their financial witch-hunt at Visit Bastrop, all because he had a straightforward romance with its CEO. No crony-capitalism, just love!

In a show of strength, the City Council stripped Nelson of some duties for resisting the leftist cancel-culture mob and their faux outrage over his private communications with the CEO, Susan Smith. They tried to cancel her too for the bogus charge of "misuse of funds." Classic leftist cancel culture tactic, coming after two fine people.

The slippery-slope doesn't end there, folks. If the leftist mob gets their way, the city might spend a whopping $50,000 on special elections! That's your taxpayer dollars funding their commie revolution.

Nelson, a true American, owned up to his mistake and apologized, but these commies won't let it go. "I took responsibility," he said, "All I did was resist an unlawful invasion of my constitutional right of privacy.” God-fearing words, folks.

The political divide was on full display when the council tried to pull a fast one by changing quorum rules. Council Member Kerry Fossler proposed lowering the quorum to prevent secret closed-door meetings, but her plan backfired. The three liberal lunatics, Meyer, Kirkland, and Plunkett, wanted exceptions for their own behind-closed-doors shenanigans. Classic leftist move: do as we say, not as we do.

But the true conservative trio of Fossler, Lee, and Bragg saw right through their scheme, proposing amendments to promote transparency and stop these ratchet council members from forming voting blocs. Despite their efforts, the leftists prevailed in a 3-2 vote, showing their iron grip on Bastrop's politics.

The final nail in the coffin? An 11-2 vote by the Charter Review Commission to recommend an amendment keeping the quorum at four, preventing our conservative heroes from discussing matters important to freedom and liberty behind closed doors.

The left's stronghold on Bastrop is strong, but the good news is, we've got true patriots like Mayor Nelson and Council Member Fossler standing up for the Constitution and our rights. This isn't over, folks. Keep the faith and keep your powder dry!
