Enough of the “locust” argument and trying to interpret what or what not Brendan Lynch meant. I have my thoughts on it and you have yours. Everyone gets way too sensitive. As far as Ed Grimm, another CRA Board member, and if true, stating that he should have stepped on Lynch for using the word Locust to describe some renters and apologizing for Lynch’s statement--who is anyone to “step on” another Board member or for that matter to apologize for someone else. If you are going to go after someone in politics, you go after his voting record, not for something as silly as this.
I remember when Brendan Lynch did that in front of the PB County Commission—apologizing for all of us who were there to speak on our beach. I was ticked off for years…still am. And who cares? There are right ways to do things. We are not Brendan’s parents. We are not Brendan’s school teachers. Brendan is entitled to his ideas just like anyone else. Brendan gave his explanation. And there is nothing further he needs to say.
There are always people who will be offended. So what? Right now they are giving Obama hell for his choice of Rev. Rick Warren, a conservative theologian, to give the invocation at the President’s inauguration. Obama received over 63 million of the popular vote but now the gays and lesbians are offended. Warren is a minister who has personally given and has been directly involved in the eradication of HIV. People never want to see beyond their own agenda and what could be construed as a narrow personal view.
What do cannibals make out of politicians?
Bologna sandwiches.
