There comes a time when good people need to stand up and say: “Enough!” Not just Democrats, Republicans or independents, but all of us.

Now former Idaho Fish and Game commissioner, Blake Fisher, makes me embarrassed to be a member of the same species. I hope that I won’t be a lone voice to comment on the disgusting images of Fisher’s trophy hunt in Africa where he slaughtered over a dozen animals including a giraffe, and leopard, particularly a family of baboons including a baby.

There’s not much light between this person and a serial killer according to one comment I heard and agree with. He stated that what he did was legal, neither was unethical or immoral. However, he said he shouldn’t have e-mailed the images. I beg to differ. He should have, it shows what type of creatures we have running our one-party state. Fisher was unfortunately right about one thing, it may have been legal by the strictest definition, but ethical? Moral? Who raised this individual? Where is his conscience? Allowing that he even has one.

I believe this disgusting person shows how morally bankrupt many who share his extreme views are.

Though I know anyone who has a “D” with their name stands a snowball’s chance next month, but I will be voting for them. I’m also voting against Prop 1 and in favor of Prop 2. Just out of spite. After all, if you can’t trust the messenger, how can you trust their message?
