‘Don’t make me angry’ Frank Antenori does ‘red meat’ self-parody

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

Our Southern Arizona Tea-Publican tools for our colonial overlords from the state of Maricopa have been hating on the City of Tucson and Pima County for years, trying to subjugate its "librul guvmint."

They have imposed a Rio Nuevo Board appointed by our colonial overlords, sought to impose new election rules on the Charter City of Tucson, sought to impose new rules for contract bids for government services and wipe out the civil service merit selection system for county employees. They stole millions of dollars from state revenue sharing to "balance" the state budget leaving us without enough money to even fill potholes. They outright stole a wastewater treatment facility from Pima County and handed it over to the Town of Marana.

The latest attempt by Southern Arizona's Tea-Publican tools for our colonial overlords from the state of Maricopa to subjugate our "librul guvmint" is this, Panel would let 3 towns veto county bonds:

Republican lawmakers from Southern Arizona are proposing a new authority that would give Marana, Oro Valley and Sahuarita, together, veto power over new borrowing for roads and other projects in Pima County.

HB 2656 would bar the county from even seeking voter approval for new bonds without first getting the OK from the majority of a new six-member board consisting of one county representative and one representative of each incorporated city within the county.

That means it would take four votes for any project to proceed, allowing any three representatives to block new bonds.

The new board would also have to approve any changes in bond spending.

Here is the best part:

All of the sponsors of the legislation, like Rep. Terri Proud, are Republicans. Sen. Frank Antenori, R-Tucson, one of the sponsors, acknowledged there is a partisan element.

"You have Republican bedroom communities that are being punished, literally punished, by the county and the Democrat stronghold of Tucson who are upset that these Republican bedroom communities are sucking people and businesses out of Tucson and into their communities," he said.

In other words a Tea-Publican minority should be allowed to impose its will on the Demoratic majority of Pima County. This is authoritarianism and tyranny.

Ah yes, "Don't make me angry" Frank(enstein) Antenori . The leader of the Southern Arizona Tea-Publican tools for our colonial overlords in the state of Maricopa, who has engaged in angry tirades and threatened city council members, county supervisors, the AIRC and even editorial boards of local newspapers and their reporters is at it again. We have been over this territory many times. Frank Antenori has an anger management problem.

Which makes this angry tirade by "Don't make me angry" Frank(enstein) Antenori such sweet unaware self-parody. Antenori tells 'food police' to back off:

The Tucson Republican launched into a self-described rant this week on the Senate floor, defending his right to life, liberty, happiness and the Egg McMuffin.

Antenori said what he and others eat is no one else's business.

"I spent 20 years fighting and getting shot at for this country," said Antenori, who is retired from Army Special Forces. "So those of you that hate things, just hate them to yourself. Don't try to impose your hatred and despising of certain things that those of us like."

And if there's any doubt what Antenori likes, he made it clear.

"If I want to go out with my wife and buy a big 24-ounce chunk of charred mammal flesh and a baked potato smothered with butter and chives, I earned the right to do that," he said.

* * *

"I walk out in the wilds. I go hunting. I seek more charred mammal meat," he said after his speech, adding that he is one of many "red-blooded Americans that like red, bloody meat."

* * *

"So, please, stick to your own little issues and leave the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to those of us that like to defend it."

Unless, of course, you are a resident of the City of Tucson and Pima County. Then Frank and his authoritarian Tea-Publican tools for our colonial overlords from the state of Maricopa are going to hate on you and dictate to you, disempowering your democratically elected Board of Supervisors and Tucson City Council. You "libruls" will be subjugated by the Tea-Publican minority.

Maybe it is the animal hormones in all that "red, bloody meat" that Frank is eating that makes him so hostile and angry all the time. Maybe Frank should hit the salad bar at the Sizzler more often.
