During a public meeting, Ronny Rardin chastised a citizen for failing to worship Jesus. This is a flagrant violation of the US and New Mexico constitutions. All elected officials swear to uphold these constitutions. Rardin should be impeached. If not impeached, he should be recalled by the voters. If not recalled, he should be pelted with rotten tomatoes at the next public meeting. What a turd in the public punchbowl.<\/p>\n
Otero County Commission: Women, Jesus and whispers | Albuquerque Journal News<\/a> By Thomas Cole \/ Of the Journal<\/a> PUBLISHED: Monday, March 16, 2015 at 12:05 am <\/p>\n After commission action on other items, it was time for public comment. <\/p>\n A man who identified himself as a Lutheran pastor and former military chaplain said he objected to Rardin saying \u201cin Jesus\u2019 name\u201d during the invocation at the beginning of the commission meeting. The man said prayers in public forums should be nonsectarian. <\/p>\n \u201cWhy?\u201d asked Rardin, longtime pastor of Saving Grace Independent Baptist Church in Alamogordo. <\/p>\n \u201cBecause not everybody here may be a Christian or share the same sentiments,\u201d the man responded. <\/p>\n Rardin said he doesn\u2019t expect others to believe as he does but added, \u201cI\u2019m going to give it (the invocation) under my opinion. \u2026 If you think I\u2019m not going to say \u2018Jesus,\u2019 you\u2019re wrong.\u201d <\/p>\n The commissioner also told the man, \u201cI\u2019m really ashamed that you don\u2019t want to say \u2018Jesus.\u2019 Shame on you, but that\u2019s your problem.\u201d <\/p>\n Rardin said the raising of such \u201ctrivial stuff\u201d made him want to strike public comments from the commission\u2019s agenda. <\/p>\n He didn\u2019t do that. But at the next commission meeting, on Feb. 12, Rardin limited public comment to three minutes and to urgent matters. No one spoke.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Otero County Commission: Women, Jesus and whispers | Albuquerque Journal News<\/a><\/p>\n Note that Rardin also acted like a sexist ass and pushed the limits on public meetings. Then, unhappy with the public he was elected to serve, he imperially curtailed comments. He is the one who should be beyond ashamed.<\/p>\n Two months ago, Rardin was involved in an appalling act of nepotism and favoritism. Our new Land Commissioner, hardly a stellar public servant, gave Rardin a sweetheart deal of a contract. Rardin, in turn, wanted to share the wealth with the son of said Land Commissioner, who already suckles the public teat. Double-dipping, double-dealing, ethics-lacking scammers. Republicans determined to prove government doesn\u2019t work and can\u2019t be trusted.
