So yesterday I posited the idea of running for the Democrats as a non-Democrat, and not in the Bernie Sanders kind of why. I can’t say I’d do the same for the Republicans, at least not at this time. The first reason is that the Democratic party has, at least locally, accepted the notion that… Continue reading Running for the Republicans

What are we fighting for?
Editor’s Note: I wrote this back about 3 months or so, ago. I was going to add a paragraph or two about my Dad, which I might do as an extended piece, but I thought I would get it posted now, as it has spent far too much time on my “To Do” list. … Continue reading What are we fighting for?
And your new Democratic candidate is… Not a Democrat
Dear God, help us! Heh. Still between that article, and another one I read but cannot find, the Montana Democrats are in need of a few good candidates.

Here in the Big City, the local rag has done battle many times with the Powers That Be to gain access to records that are open to us by the mandate of the People. Time and time again they have… Continue reading Snoop on them as they would snoop on us
FBI’s Most Dangerous – Ray Bradbury?!
This is what happens when you have a government, under the guise of national security, spy on its own people. Our government has spent the last decade and a half selling itself, and its people, on the mass hysteria of national security. We have the Patriot Act, and its successor the USA Freedom Act(a rose… Continue reading FBI’s Most Dangerous – Ray Bradbury?!
The buck stops here
That line right there, as definitive and well intentioned as it might have been, perhaps best illustrates the greatest weakness of our modern government. And by modern, I’m willing to go back as far as the 1950’s. In one word- accountability. Truman meant to say responsibility was his, he was taking ownership of the consequences… Continue reading The buck stops here
