Fitting to be called Barbarians

Mr. Antonio Manuel:
Well, taking the meaning of the word Barbarian out of context is not only enervate but jejune. I wouldn't blame your vexation not because of the contents of my comments, but your indefensible and absolute misunderstanding of what it meant.
You pushed yourself to a corner where flaws of who you are, you are as transparent as your predilection against the truth. What got me thinking of your balderdash is the complete ignorance of where you came from.
Let me tell you something, Mr. Manuel. Don't you see your comments as ironic and full of holes when you disregarded why this word Barbarian really applied to you and I and people of that town? Allow me.
Since the Papacy discharged Santa Barbara as unsaintly and removed her name from the books, isn't that barbaric . . . when the church sacked her 600 years after canonization?
So, it's fitting that people living in that town be called Barbarians, notwithstanding the fact they live in a town called Santa Barbara, but paying homage to the Holy Family as the town's patron saint.
Your post on the 31st, 5th paragraph. You exposed your limitations when you said, “Barbara is a proper name. It is the name of the town's patron Santa Barbara". How wrong you were!
And Velasco, how can you be proud of an elected mayor that seems to be a derelict? It would be an affront, an indignity to the Barbarians, if this mayor you try to protect wallow in the quagmire of ineptitude.
Because at the end, Mr. Manuel, with your pride in tatters; you'll meekly tell the people that Velasco lied.
