Go for broke, Max, honey! You sure aren't what we need in DC.
And when we're out of money and can't pay for this horrendous program, what happens to you?
I want you to be the first Senator to opt into this monstrous plan. After all, it's yours.

House Republicans have put forward fiscally responsible solutions to make health care more affordable and accessible, including real medical liability reform, allowing families to buy insurance across state lines, and ensuring every small business has access to the same tax incentives as unions and large corporations. When will Democrats hit the reset button and work with Republicans to implement real reforms on behalf of the American people? | |

Tom Brokaw, civility and me
Tom Brokaw gave a booksigning in a bookstore in Big Timber, MT earlier this month, just before I arrived. The book he was signing was his “Boom! Voices of the Sixties”. The Big Timber Pioneer, the only newspaper (a weekly) gave it front page coverage. Not much happens in that lovely little town. Tom lives in the vicinity, in a very lavish sort of place – a real “spread” – a compound with guest houses, an education center, on a river. Angus cattle graze across the road in golden pastures. His is a good life.
So the Pioneer sent Connie Burcham, staff writer over to interview Tom. I read the article because it was timely, because Brokaw’s a writer, and I survived the sixties very well.
The interview, instead, was political. You know Brokaw - past anchor of the NBC Nightly News. He gave some really smarmy (I thought) jabs at our townhall meetings and thinks we should be civil, since we are spreading discord. He called us "troublemakers".
I can't seem to load my excerpts from the paper - something wrong with the tags, so I'll let it go. But I was really angry at the tone of the man and his pontification. Like...he matters.
“The former anchor of the NBC Nightly News said he believed that the discord [in
CIVIL?
And that’s why I wrote the following as an op-ed to the Big Timber Pioneer, which wasn’t printed this week.
September 20, 2009
Dear Editor:
On Thursday, September 17 I read Connie Burcham’s interview with Tom Brokaw. I was visiting Big Timber, staying with a local resident at the time.
Frankly, what Brokaw said and alludes to made me so angry that now, days later, I find myself writing to you.
From Brokaw’s aerie on the river, he can comfortably pontificate on any subject; loss of homes (but not his), lost investments (but not his). He didn’t mention jobs. My town here in
There are no jobs. The difference I see in Big Timber, which seems deflated, is alarming. It looks like the town is dying. There are no jobs here in my town, and real estate isn’t selling. My bank is in dire straits and I have closed my accounts there. The FDIC is in deep trouble, too.
Because Brokaw was a news anchor and somewhat of a celebrity, he fed you and I media-biased news for decades. We all bought it. I bought it, too. And the media continues to spin every piece of information that comes into the news bureau. We are being spoon fed lies. I don’t trust televised news. I get mine from other sources, and yes, that includes the internet. And it’s real easy to beat the bushes and find the right sources – like government sites and places like Drudge.
But that’s not so important. What is important to the great unwashed, is that Obama seems to bring into his administration on a daily basis, another leftist/socialist/Marxist idea or “czar”.
The cap and trade bill will bring us to our knees when implemented (if we let Senate do that to us), and the socialist agenda’s healthcare bill, which is gibberish – no normal person can understand even one page – is really full of draconian measures for all segments of our population. But then, the President and his cronies, and our elected officials don’t have to worry their fair-haired heads, because they have already opted out.
And this was passed by the House of Representatives – people we had confidence in and to whom we left the decisions for our care and governance – the majority of whom didn’t attempt to read it.
Another thing. Are you really certain about Obama being a natural born citizen, or do we have a niggling little doubt about his authenticity. If he is a fraud, an imposter, do we throw his butt in jail or do we hold him and sentence him as a traitor? If he’s not who he says he is, what do we do with him?
If Brokaw’s fortune suddenly evaporated and he couldn’t afford to live in his Eagle’s aerie watching the sun light up the riffles on the river, would he be vexed and angry? You bet.
I admit I have become very politically active. I blog, attend meetings, keep a finger on the pulse of “our” anger and news stories that never appear in mainstream news. I do my best to spread the words of truth. I think I can make that decision for myself. You can, too. And you can make sure your student son or daughter is aware of our Constitution and their rights which are inalienable. You and your children are American sovereign citizens; you do not bow and you do not run, and you will use your freedoms to insure all our freedoms.
I see my rights being trashed rapidly by this administration which is so hellbent on turning the
Be civil?
Are you kidding, Tom? Civility means censorship; the suppression of ideas and speech. And for sure you haven’t an ice cube’s chance in hell in changing my mind. Politicians, including the President are employed by us, at our pleasure. When they don’t do their jobs, they will get fired. If this administration continues to grab our freedoms – whether it’s regarding NAIS, a mandatory inoculation for a supposed pandemic so loaded with squalene and mercury (there is no safe level of mercury), DNA/RNA in a live virus, injected or inhaled (it’s close to the brain and just destroys it more quickly), the cap and trade so full of restrictions we won’t be able to breathe (and who said carbon dioxide is bad for us when trees and green organisms use it in photosynthesis to produce oxygen – was it Gore?) – we are going to get increasingly angry and promptly be put on the White House enemies list.
Our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution gives us the power of enforcement to use all our rights and to defend our country against those without and within who would usurp our rights and freedoms. So yes! I’m going to get in those elected renegades’ faces every day if I can and scream at them until they know we – the teabaggers, the right wing extremists, the wingnuts, the patriots, and whatever derogatory names you call us – mean business.
Civil? No. Civility is not what we need at this critical time in our nation’s history.
Tom - If you were to lose everything…and I mean, everything…you would forget civility, too. You couldn’t live like some of us must. You’re too far out of touch now.
I’m a writer, and I agree that sources must be accurate. The reportage must be thoroughly checked before it goes to print or broadcast. But it’s relatively easy now to find a reputable and dependable source for news outside network news. Give us credit to know how to dig and sift. Got a problem with a bill? You go to the source like the politico who wrote or sponsored the bill; to Thomas.gov or any one of a myriad of sources provided by our government, just like you or your staff did.
When was the last time you read the Communist Manifesto and the 10 point Plan?
The points there become more familiar and applicable to us here every day. Many of us know exactly what government is doing to us and watch the current administration, our Senators and Representatives and “czars”, whittle and whack away at this “perfect union” we were once given on rivers of patriots’ blood.
The people we trusted to elect are not trustworthy. The media is bought and controlled by corporations and information is diluted, spun and transmitted to tired Americans who are working their backsides off while the American dream dies.
But no more, for we have caught on. Truth in reporting? Over 1 million “teabaggers” met in
Obama and his minions are in trouble.
Do not preach to me, Tom, that we need to be civil. We tried it. It didn’t work.
And if the politicians don’t listen to us as we are screaming our discontent, then, as is our right, we will have to use something more effective.
We were given a Republic and it is slipping away because we were “civil” and apathetic for decades.
We’ve only just begun. We are stretching and gathering strength to return our precious Republic to its founding principles.
Don’t put labels on us. We refuse to be labeled as political extremists, as racists, as terrorists or White House enemies or dissidents. The people we elected who are methodically destroying our country are the enemies – the dissidents.
I am a Constitutionalist. I am disillusioned by both parties. They sicken me.
I am a proud American sovereign citizen, a grandmother, who will not be stopped in the fight for my grandchildren’s future in a
I am still a proud American and aware of the responsibilities that go with being a citizen.
We’ve only just begun, because in our wrath, “it ain’t over yet!”

| ON NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO, BOEHNER DISCUSSES GOP HEALTH CARE SOLUTIONS, NEED WHITE HOUSE TO ALLOW GENERAL MCCHRYSTAL TO TESTIFY ON AFGHANISTAN GOP LEADER: “THERE ARE COMMON-SENSE REFORMS THAT WE CAN PUT IN PLACE TO MAKE OUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE SYSTEM WORK BETTER FOR MORE PEOPLE” | |
| September 25, 2009 | House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) | Permalink During an interview with National Public Radio’s Morning Edition, House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) discussed GOP efforts to work on health care solutions the American people support, such as ensuring Americans with pre-existing conditions have access to affordable health care and getting rid of junk lawsuits that drive up the cost of care. Boehner also discussed the ongoing effort in Afghanistan, the importance of denying safe haven to al Qaeda and the Taliban, and the need for the Obama Administration to allow General McChrystal to testify before Congress. A link to the audio of the interview is HERE, and following are excerpts as well: BOEHNER ON REPUBLICANS’ BETTER HEALTH CARE SOLUTIONS: “Well, I think Americans have spoken. They want reforms that lower costs, expand access and improve quality. None of the Democrat bills that we’ve seen thus far do that. You know, they claim that their bill will lower costs by spending a trillion dollars more and Americans really aren’t buying it. “And so there are a number of things that Republicans believe are essential. We believe that making sure that people with pre-existing conditions have access to affordable health insurance. We believe that if you lose your job, you shouldn’t have to be worried about losing your health insurance—and you should be able to take your health insurance from job to job. Republicans believe that we ought to get rid of junk lawsuits and get doctors back to practicing real medicine instead of all the defensive medicine that they practice today. Estimates are that we would save over a $100 billion a year just in that area. And so there are common sense reforms that we can put in place to make our current health care system work better for more people.” (AUDIO) BOEHNER ON DEMOCRATS’ REFUSAL TO WORK ON HEALTH CARE IN A BIPARTISAN WAY: “There’s no debate here in Washington on the need to fix our current health care system. The American people know that it costs too much and they also know that there is not equal access to high-quality, affordable health insurance. And so, as we move ahead, I think there is common ground – we can do it – but let’s be honest, the President hasn’t had the Republican leadership down to the White House since late April or early May. I sent the President a letter back in May outlining some of the things we’d like to do in health care and asking for a meeting. I got a nice polite letter back that said basically, thank you, but we’ll see you at the end of the process.” (AUDIO) BOEHNER ON WHY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION MUST ALLOW GENERAL MCCHRYSTAL TO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS ON AFGHANISTAN: “In March, the President laid out a clear strategy to prevent al Qaeda and the Taliban from re-establishing safe havens in Afghanistan to in order to plan and execute attacks on Americans. Now the President’s is re-considering that strategy, and I have real concerns about that. We sent General McChrystal to Afghanistan to implement this new strategy. If General McChrystal believes that without timely reinforcements our efforts may end in failure, then we must act quickly to give him the resources he needs to achieve our goals. The Administration must allow General McChrystal to testify before Congress on his strategy for achieving our goals.” (AUDIO) BOEHNER ON WHY A TIMELY DECISION ON ADDITIONAL TROOPS IS CRITICAL: “My concern is that the longer we wait, the more jeopardy exists for the troops that we have there. Even if there is a decision to send more troops, it’s going to take a substantial amount of time for those troops to be trained and deploy into that theater. We have to remember that in Afghanistan we typically have to deal with the spring offensive. And I just believe that we need to make sure that we have the reinforcements there so that the troops that we have there are not in greater danger as a result of not having enough troops to protect each other.” (AUDIO) | |

Refreshed from a fantastic, magical trip to Montana with a friend as my guide which not even a malfunctioning camera (thank goodness for point and shoot backups), could spoil, my plans for the day are to do some blogging here, edit photos, and write a letter to the editor of a small Montana paper in answer to an interview with Tom Brokaw. You remember Tom, don't you? Well, at a booksigning in Big Timber, he said a few things that irritated me a lot. I drafted it yesterday.
Tom's losing sight of "us" and the rest of the USA - with condescending remarks on our patriotism and our exercise of freedom of speech at town halls...he believes we should stop the shouting and become more civil.
Hell, we've been quiet so long, it is our fault that we allowed the past several presidents and administrations to get away with the push to socialism.
Not any more.
So I'll print it here when it's ready.
And I'll also post a link to my photos in case you're interested.

Call your Senators, your Representatives. Leave a message on the White House line. I urge you to discuss Cass Sunstein at your next political meeting, your talk shows, write letters to the media, get on local news.
This president (note the lower case "p") is by far the very worst, and he should be impeached.

The idiocy of Waxman-Markey
Not many people enjoy a micromanager – having their boss hover over them monitoring their every move. Well, if Congress passes a cap and trade bill, they will be micromanaging our economy and controlling our decisions. Just one example of many: tree planting. Section 205 of the Waxman-Markey cap and trade bill creates a program to subsidize targeted tree-planting programs by retail power providers in “residential and small office settings.” To be clear, we are not against planting trees. They are aesthetically pleasing and good for the environment. But do we need the government funding our tree planting or telling us how and where to plant our trees? Provisions are written in Waxman-Markey for the creation of “tree-siting guidelines” which regulate the minimum required distance to be maintained between trees and “building foundations, air conditioning units, driveways and walkways, property fences, preexisting utility infrastructure, septic systems, swimming pools, and other infrastructure as deemed appropriate” (Sec. 205, b4 & d4D). To receive support, tree planting programs must utilize “targeted, strategic tree-siting guidelines to plant trees in relation to building location, sunlight, and prevailing wind direction” (Sec. 205, d3) The program also includes “free or discounted shade-providing or wind-reducing trees to residential and small office consumers.” Sub-contracting tree-planting organizations must “sign agreements committing to voluntary stewardship and care of provided trees” and “monitor and report on the survival, growth, overall health, and estimated energy savings of provided trees.” (Sec. 205, e2F-G) If there are no local nonprofits that wish to subcontract, tree-planting responsibilities may fall on “local municipal governments with jurisdiction over the urban or suburban forest” (Sec. 205, e3). The bill even creates a technical advisory committee to “ensure tree recipients are educated to care for and maintain their trees over the long term.” (sec. 205, f1) If the tree planting provision seems like a small detail in an extremely economically devastating bill, it is. It covers about 15 pages of the 1,427 page bill. And surely you can think of a lot worse ways the government can spend your taxpayer dollars. But it’s another example of government intrusion and government planning for which the private sector can do, and do it better. Economist Friedrich Hayek put it best when he said, “The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.” >> Visit Heritage's Rapid Response page for a collection of the latest research and policy resources on cap and trade.
