What is a REAL (NATIVE) Montanan?
Reading the editorials, it seems that a Real Montanan MUST be completely honorable and trust worthy. No other person can be capable of these traits.
I have looked at several reference books with little success. If one is a Montanan, is it an imperative that they are honorable and upstanding? If one is NOT a Real Montanan, I suppose that they cannot be trusted.
I have found that back when Montana became a state there was already a need for ac justice system and law enforcement. Obviously, people living here in 1889 were not Montanans, for if they were, law enforcement would have been unnecessary.
I know! A REAL Montanan must be a Native American. Wait a minute; I believe the Native Americans also had problems with people of less than honorable intent so they could not be Montanans.
Gianforte closed off access to a fishing access that impinged on his PRIVATE property rights just as you and I would. An acceptable compromise was apparently reached.
The Government agencies i.e. FWP NFS and BLM all deny our access to OUR lands. Who is really the bad guy here?
Gianforte has become wealthy, I am not, but I appreciate that he worked to achieve a status that any one of us would really, really like.
Non-Montanan Gianforte might be a bum and Rob Quist a saint, or Rob Quist might be a bum and Gianforte a saint. Chances are they both are good people that simply want to get involved in public service.
Quit the name-calling and innuendos.
