Do Citrus County conservatives have an apathy problem?

(Legislative delegation hears from citizens.)
By John Labriola -

Citrus County voters rejected the Biden/Harris ticket by a greater than 2-to-1 margin last November, but you wouldn't know it from attending last week's annual state legislative delegation meeting in the Citrus County Courthouse. 

Florida Senate President Wilton Simpson and State Rep. Ralph Massullo listened for two hours as local elected officials, activists and citizens shared their concerns and desires for state legislative action on a variety of issues. 

Among the speakers were two representatives of the Democratic Women's Club of Citrus County who spoke in favor of abortion on demand and free tampons in the schools, two retired teachers who defended anti-white Critical Race Theory (CRT) and demanded restrictions on gun rights, and a local representative of the leftist League of Women Voters who spoke out against Gov. Ron DeSantis' efforts to weed out voter fraud.

Nobody rose to defend the right to life, oppose CRT, advocate for the Second Amendment or support election integrity reforms in the wake of the disastrous 2020 elections. And as the Florida Department of Transportation considers extending the Florida Turnpike through Citrus County, the only two people who rose to speak out against those plans were both from outside the county.  

That kind of apathy could explain why Citrus County is now the most likely path for the proposed northern Turnpike extension, given the organized opposition that two alternative alignments through Marion and Levy counties face from residents of those two counties. That same apathy on the part of local conservatives also could explain why liberals dominate Citrus County's advisory boards despite representing such a small minority of the population, and why certain county commissioners just don't seem to care what conservative residents think. 

If you want to help break this cycle of apathy, email us at citruseagle@outlook.com and let us know how you'd like to get involved so we don't keep getting rolled by the politicians.

    That is bothersome. Except the part about the free tampons in schools. If a girl needs a tampon, give her a dang tampon, for crying out loud.

On our Jan. 6 political prisoners

Image
By Laura Loomer - As our nation quickly approaches one full year of the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris administration, Americans watched this last week as the communist fake news media continued to glorify the protests that took place on January 6th, 2021 as an “assault on democracy.”   Over the past year, more than 700 Americans in 45 states have been charged in what has been described by the Biden Regime as the biggest criminal investigation in history. Thousands of Americans who showed up to Washington, DC, on January 6th to protest the fraudulent 2020 elections have been targeted by the FBI, harassed by the weaponized Department of Justice, and many of the nearly 700 who were arrested are being held in jails across the country in appalling conditions. Here in America, the year is now 2022, and while we are not exactly a third world country…yet, we can honestly say that much like what happens in actual third world nations and failed states, the American government is politically persecutin

Hernando man gets visit from sheriff's office after email to Holly Davis

By John Labriola -  A 66-year-old Hernando man got a Thanksgiving-eve knock on his door from the sheriff's office after sending Citrus County Commissioner Holly Davis an email challenging her on her LGBT activism in strong terms. On Nov. 23, B. James Colantropo emailed Davis in response to her shocking remarks at the last county commission meeting, in which she appeared to advocate for homosexual grooming of children in the county libraries .  "Rest assured that the good people of this county will not stand by and let you get away with your leftist agenda," Colantropo wrote. He then added: "Count your days because they are numbered." The next morning, two sheriff's detectives showed up at Colantropo's door. "They wanted to know what my intentions were, as they said my email could be construed as threatening," said Colantropo, who explained to them that his words were meant politically, not as a physical threat.  "Basically they understood

Commissioner Holly Davis wants Citrus County to promote homosexuality to children

Image
By John Labriola -  Citrus County Commissioner Holly Davis raised eyebrows at the Nov. 9 commission meeting when she declared that she wants our county libraries to be a place where children can access books promoting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle so they can feel at "peace" with becoming practicing homosexuals and/or pursuing transgenderism. (See video above.) Davis, a committed leftist, justified her heinous views by citing long-debunked claims that children are "born" homosexual. This propaganda myth pushed by the LGBT political movement has been thoroughly discredited by multiple scientific studies over the last 25 years.   What is true is that people engaged in LGBT lifestyles have much higher suicide rates than the general population. The logical conclusion to draw from this statistic is that discouraging children and adults from going down the path of homosexuality and transgenderism (or at least not encouraging them to do so) would SAVE LIVES .
