After I read John Freitas’ article on Diane Feinstein (see below), it made me frustrated and really mad, because this is not an untypical situation. Once these elite millionaires get elected they are automatically the “big expert” on every subject under the sun including matters of law enforcement. Hey Diane, that letter came from a 20 year police veteran who has served on the front lines his whole career. He’s put his life in danger countless times while you, Ms Feinstein, were serving on an immigration committee and risking what. . . a nasty paper cut or a cross word?
People like Feinstein are so ready to tell you and guys like John why you are wrong, it’s pathetic. It put’s us on the defensive while the Feinstein’s of this world stop learning and become insulated against any view but their own. For instance Feinstein refers to the latest immigration bill as getting a mixed reaction. A mixed reaction???? What??? #@!%^#& Is 80% against this bill….mixed? Not in my world! As I see it, Feinstein is ignoring the will of the people while she puts a spin on a bad bill. (treating us like mushrooms again)
In Feinstein’s letter to John there’s no acknowledgment he might have had something worthwhile to say, there was no validation that one thing he said might have been worthy, John just gets dismissed.
It’s another case of, “Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on your way out!”
Those primadonas (and I’m lumping a lot of politicians into this category) never once consider a highly dedicated and courageous professional like John Freitas might be absolutely right. Too often politicians are like this, too self absorbed, to even consider our thoughts and so good guys like John are dismissed in way that formerly only Royalty might have done to one of their servants. He deserves better and Feinstein should be ashamed.
Hang in there John, we’re with you!
