James Goldsborough spent a couple of weeks getting bashed in the local papers buy the forces of evil, but then comes out fighting with his newest letter to the editor of the Desert Trail:
James Goldsborough
Twentynine Palms
Dear editor,
Whoa, really touched a nerve last week.
I expected a mindless response from Mr./Mrs./Ms. Wenzel, but a half-page manifesto of scattershot lunacy? Off-roaders are standing by the compromise, but in the COWs best truth-twisting tradition, Mr./Mrs./Ms. Wenzel manages to ignore his/her own agreements.
San Bernardino County has decided that the $155 land-use fee is ineffectual and may be unconstitutional, taxing you to use your own land. Off-roaders applaud their sensibility. Mr./Mrs./Ms. Wenzel and his/her ilk are the ones reneging on the agreement. The lopsided compromise specified certain riding areas, and off roaders honor it.
The COW/Wenzel cabal are now going after the agreed riding areas, like the piece of empty desert they erroneously refer to as “The Poste Homestead,” which is not a homestead, not a structure, not anything.
Whenever I submit a letter over 300 words it’s edited down to the requisite 300, sometimes losing context or meaning.
This is the second time my letter illustrating the COWs conniving method of minority rule was answered by an unlimited op-ed reply. I’ve asked more than once for the same courtesy, the “Guest Soapbox” allowed others, but it was never granted. Really fair and balanced.
The instigator of this divisive community torment spends only three months a year in his five acre Wonder Valley tin-pot dictatorship, but denies full time residents a family past time and possible source of great income.
Of course Mr./Mrs./Ms. Wenzel again insults off roaders with ridiculous analogies. Civil rights, Iranian freedom, terrorists? He/she forgot slavery and Satanism. Oh wait, that’s next week. It’s like having a war of wits with an unarmed person, with he/she proving his/her ignorance each week. But thanks for the help! Each rude slander, each unfair attack drives more and more normally passive hobbyists into the cause.
