Totalitarian Tester

Why should you vote for Matt Rosendale?  I'll tell you why:  Matt Rosendale will go to Washington D.C. and vote like a Conservative. 

John Tester, on the other hand, will vote exactly how his masters, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, tell him to.  Now, he may not be completely under their thumb, but NOBODY can take the kind of money he's taken from the Democrat machine and not be beholden in some way, shape, or form.  Senators from this state may go to DC saying they'll buck the money guys, but after 12 years, they are bought and paid for, at least Tester is.  NO ONE should be in DC that long and I firmly support Convention of States and the term limits supported therein.

Just look at what our Senator said about Ron Jackson when Trump suggested the unlikely candidate for head of the Veteran's Administration.  Dear Lord, the crap he spewed about the long-time white house doctor was diabolical.  Using heresay stories to impune the character of a man who has served our country through multiple administrations, Tester did the bidding of his masters and smeared the good doctor until he was forced to resign.  Close friends say that Admiral Jackson could not defend himself because it would have involved revealing classified information and he was not willing to do that OR to put his family through the hell that we clearly see the Left is willing to rain down upon any Trump nomination.  So, there again we see clearly that John Tester is willing to smear his political enemies and in the process exhibit his clear lack of moral character. 

No longer are those politicians on the Left like John Tester willing to battle their political opponents on the issues, instead, Tester takes the easy way out choosing the much easier smear tactics usually reserved for use by campaign lackeys.  Tester isn't afraid, it seems, to personally smear his opponents.  Take the Eagle Crest development, for example, and the spurious commercial "approved" by Tester that accuses his opponent of building faulty foundations and calling Rosendale a "fraud." Impuning his opponents character with outright lies apparently doesn't trouble John Tester one bit.  Here is a quote from one of the lawyers representing the defendents in the Eagle Crest development case, "I deposed Matt Rosendale, and I found him to be somebody well prepared for deposition and someone who is on the up and up and ethical,” Stephanie Oblander said, adding his company provided the necessary information to contractors. The Great Falls Tribune story continues, 'Oblander, a supporter of Rosendale who said she was critical of Tester, said she was an attorney in two of the lawsuits in which Eagles Crossing, an entity owned by Rosendale, prevailed in 2015 and 2016.  She said Eagles Crossing was vindicated in the two lawsuits that decided developer duty. She believes the ad is unfair.'  Huh, so, once again, Tester is willing to impune the character of his opponent with outright lies and half-truths. I'm thinking the head of the Crow tribe may have Tester figured out which may account for his change in support from Tester to Rosendale. 

I could write several more pages of crap spewed forth by the Tester campaign and John Tester himself, but we have already established his willingness to smear, so let's look instead at Tester's record in the Senate.  The moderately conservative Democrat from Montana who supports gun rights, small business, and economic policies that help the people of Montana disappears when he arrives in Washington DC.  Instead, the life of relative luxury in his big ol house in DC kicks in and he forgets all about those relatively conservative promises he made to get elected in a relatively conservative state.  Instead, he heads out to his favorite DC restaurants and joins his Leftist buddies drinking and laughing at the rubes in Montana who sent him there.  It's time for this guy to be put back out to pasture, and my guess?  He doesn't return to Montana except to visit, instead choosing the high life as a K Street lobbyist just like hundreds of other Senators whose voters finally figured them out. 

So, when you're thinking that maybe those ads claiming Rosendale is some lackey for insurance companies might have validity, take a gander at John Tester's Federal Election Commission webpage and check out the massive dollars being funneled into Tester's campaign by, yep, you guessed it, big insurance companies (the really big ones who got to sit in on the closed-door meetings with Harry Reid during the so-called Affordble Care Act "negotiations," and what is even more disheartening, every Democrat, Socialist, Leftist group on this earth has contributed to Tester's $15,000,000 war chest.  Hop on over to Rosendale's FEC page and you'll find that the reason you're hearing 4-to-1 Tester ads is likely due to the less than 5 million that Rosendale has at his disposal to defend himself against the constant attacks leveled against him day and night in one of the most expensive campaigns of all time.

They are concerned, folks, because in a state where Trump won by 20 points, they know that there are Republicans who must be supporting Tester and they are scared to death that those Republicans might just wake the hell up and vote with the President in this election.  So, take a HARD look at the claims that John Tester is making with all that money, and THINK about why it is VITAL to the U.S. at this point in time that Montanans term limit their 12-year Senator and send a Conservative to support our President to do the Conservative things that we know are true and good like banning this ridiculous sanctuary city/state movement, protecting our sovereign borders, continuing to support economic development by cutting taxes and lowering government spending (well, hopefully THIS time around anyway), supporting Liberty through sound fiscal policy, and finally, voting the Conservative values that are strong in America's Last Best Place.  Support Rosendale for U.S. Senate and increase the Conservative Caucus' numbers because Conservatives know full well, they are the only representatives we can count on in this crazy political climate.  Now, go vote your Conservative values!

The True Colors of the Totalitarian Left

The true colors of the Left are on full display tonight as the sore losers take to the streets for their final hurah.  What these numnuts burning fires and causing headaches for the police don't see or feel around them is the pure joy of millions of entrepreneurs, unemployed oil workers, restauranteurs, and home-based business owners who now know that the wicked witch is dead!  We are joyous with the anticipation at the death of Obamacare, one of the most aggregious transfers of wealth at the hands of politicians since the New Deal. 

The scare-mongering is just beginning as the failed linguist Paul Krugman pens yet another ridiculous column, this time warning that the markets will "never recover!"  I've got only one thing to say to the leader of the Left, "A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats!"  I would think that we could finally push Dr. Krugman from his Leftist pedestal with the penning of his obviously piss-poor analysis of market behavior.  This guy is done being of any influence in the economic arena; perhaps he should go back to his academic roots and work on his failed theories there.  It's time for media outlets like CRTV and PJMEDIA to take their rightful places in the forefront of political discussion. 

Most entrepreneurs and professional business people are too busy to listen to those who base their theories of everything on "models." These Americans are too busy getting their products ordered, shelved, and marketed to worry that some Leftist has-been thinks the markets might never recover and, frankly, that sounds like bunk to them because with the death of Obamacare, lower taxes, and regulatory moratoriums, they think it sounds more like Morning in America! 

I've been humming, "Nah, na, na, nah, na, na, na, nah, hey, hey, hey, Goodbye," for 12 hours, and my favorite thing to do now is to pick out the little American flags on the cars in traffic.  I don't feel like there is a guillotine hanging over my head anymore which is an entirely new experience after a solid year of believing that Americans would buy the lies that Hillary Clinton was selling in her campaign.  After listening to Obama move to the right in his campaign, using the buzzwords, "entrepreneurship," and "small business," knowing that as soon as he won the election, he asked most of America to "sit in the back of the bus," I feared that the working class would    once again believe the lies so carefully crafted by the Left to fool Mr. & Mrs. American Entrepreneur and with little or no fight in the Republican candidate in 2012, it was hard for me to believe that Donald Trump was going to convince my compatriots that we could bring free market capitalist principles to the fight.  I should have believed because he was, afterall, the only Republican candidate who bucked the establishment advisors and brought the Clinton history front and center at the debates.  It was the first time that a Republican showed some guts and threw the sexual predator charge right back in the faces of Bill and Hillary Clinton.  Do I think it made a difference in the minds of some of the voters?  Absolutely.  I would have gone further, of course.  I would have brought up the crass and devastating actions of Hillary Clinton when she fired lifetime Whitehouse travel staff with little notice to replace them with her buddies from Arkansas.  It was a classless act and one that should haunt her to her grave.  The non-partisan staffers had warmly welcomed every president from Carter forward and she packed up their belongings and threw them out on their ears, and she wasn't even the President!  I would have voted against her for that alone.

In retrospect, I think it was the fact that Trump was a fierce fighter, a characteristic I disliked intensely during the primary when he devastated my candidate with attacks on his father and wife that were beyond the pale, that brought the American people to their feet and created the movement that resulted in a Republican victory.  It may have been the Republican's year in any case, but there was something in the Trump candidacy that Americans didn't see in Romney that brought them to the polls and I admit wholeheartedly that I am grateful for it.  I am also grateful that the Never Trumper crowd was less of a crowd and more of a reactionary few who will now melt into the "movement" and be forgiven for disliking the candidate who will bring back prosperity to America.  It's OK in America to dislike your party's candidate, and it's OK to believe that we might, once again find hope in the form of free-market capitalism in our Constitutional Republic.

The Danger of Words (It's Not What You'd Think)

The outrage we feel at the gunman's cavalier decision to take someone's life and the strange compression of time and space we feel inside ourselves when we think of the act itself combine to create a state of shock, rudely interrupted by the occasional poking and prodding, somewhat like what my daughter does to our unfortunate cat, by outraged politicians who see this as their opportunity to say, "I told you so!"  The thought that conservatives in their anger about losing freedoms granted in our Constitution are somehow responsible for the decision by a deranged killer to put bullets into 6 or more of our citizens is ludicrous; you'd think that a simple prayer and calls for justice would be enough.  But not for those who feel they are somehow wronged by the pundits who speak out against tyranny, no, not good enough!  After all, there might be something to that phrase, "Don't retreat, re-load" that came from a strong leader, a woman no less, in the Republican party.  Of course, if that was a call to arms against the 2,000 plus page legislation that now threatens our country's economic future, I missed it.  I naively thought that my right to vote in the last election sent a crystal clear message.

Do our detractors wish that we would whisper sweet nothings in cool voices, or would they rather that we just shut up and agree with them?  What does it take, then, to get my Senator's attention?  Perhaps a bunch of crazy Montanans shooting their rifles into the air and whooping it up outside the offices of our fine representatives?  With my luck, we'd all be thrown in jail.  So, As I check to make sure my firearms are locked in tight for the night, my fellow citizens can be assured that my intent is simply to excercise my rights as a free American and to protect my home and family, nothing more.  You were scared, weren't you?  After all, I have written words that were hot and fiery in my short career as a blogger and longer one as a writer, but never once, not in all the time during which I have had to suppress deep-seated anger at this administration's lack of concern for our freedoms have I, even once, thought about taking the life of my congressman or a nearby 9-year old girl.  I certainly hope you are all relieved and that we can get back to it without losing, once again, the freedoms that are promised us in our founding documents.
