Say they're getting picked on because they are being ticketed for using steel cleats they put on their tractors that rip up the county's roads.
Bull shit it does.
Old Order Groffdale!! Sounds like a bunch of dark age hooey to me. What the hell is that supposed to mean and who gives a shit anyway.
The defense says the Amish put steel cleats on their horsey's horse shoes. Lets get this straight. Horses and tractors on black top roads are two separate things. Mennonites are not Amish.
You stupids you. My dollars paid for these roads and no you do not get to add devices to the wheels of your tractor that rip my dollars to pieces. It's just that simple.
Keep crying and maybe the beck whore will pick up your cause.
Sheeze!!
Seems like another group that can't be reasoned with...
ReplyDeleteI'd vote for confiscation rather than ticketing . . .
ReplyDeleteWatch these Menonites One Fly. I always tell the story of how I got whipped by an Amish guy, but it was probably a Menonite.
ReplyDeleteI need to hear that story Truth.
ReplyDeleteIt seems you've ran out of tolerance for a certain religious group. Well, look at the bright side of things. At least they work, work with tractors. Our religious people are more in the line of learning and getting allowances from the government.
ReplyDeleteTolerance has nothing to do with it Duta. Amish use no powered tools.
ReplyDeleteI thought I made it clear that religion does not give you a pass when you infringe on others who foot the bill because you feel as a group you are special and do not want/need to follow the rules.
AS for tolerance of religion - here at OTC the is hardly any for any group save for Native American and Amish because both leave such a small footprint if ant and do not force their beliefs on others.
This doesn't even sound like a religious issue. It's about maintaining the quality of roads, which is a big enough problem in Colorado, and doing so without undue expense to the taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteHorseshoe cleats look nothing like those monstrosities in the picture or even what we imagine them to look like when we think of athletic/golf shoes. The Amish do use them but are meeting with resistence in some communities. Show jumpers use them for traction. There's all the difference in the world between cleats (kind of flat and out to the sides) and these WWII tanker clunkers.
The cleats are most likely for mud and to extend the life of the tires, but when push comes to shove always claim your religion makes you do it.
