"It is not enough that we do our best; sometimes we must do what is required."
This is the type of campaign promise that every candidate for Sheriff should be making.
I'm Steve Kendley and I am running as an Independent for the Office of Sheriff for Lake County, Montana.
My campaign will be unique in that I am basing the first "plank" of my campaign on upholding the Oath of Office to defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Montana from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Please spend some time on my website. By the time you're done, hopefully I'll have earned a new friend and a supporter.

WHO OWNS THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT?
Yesterday, the New York Times came out with an article, "Tea party' movement lights fuse for right." "Activists discover set of ideas long seen as preserrve of conspiracy theorists."
This morning I received an email from a friend telling me that Glenn Beck talked about the article and his attack on Debra Median, candidate for governor of Texas last Thursday on his radio show.
So I went out and found the clip of Glenn's show to see how he tries to justify trying (and I stress the word TRY) to sabotage her campaign in favor of Rick Perry.
The Times article starts out talking about Pam Stout from Sandpoint, Idaho who has not always lived in fear of her government.
But that's not how Glenn Beck portrayed the article. A friend who has been fighting for Constitutional Order for the past 20 years, sent me the article to read yesterday and I have to agree with his comment on it.
Gosh Glenn, can you show us some facts to back up those numbers. Because before your 9/12 Project Moderator kicked me off the group, it looked to me like about a 50% split. And because of your attack job on Debra Medina, more people opened up to looking at "Loose Change" and some of the other evidence that prior to last Thursday, they just took your word for everything.
It seems to me that Glenn Beck want's it both ways. If a progressive democrat is in the White House, it's alright to "Question with Boldness" and paint his advisors as 'EVIL' people. But if we question a progressive republican well, then we fall into Glenn's 5% category of "FRING FAR RIGHT NUT JOBS"
I recommend that everyone take the time to read the NYT's article, watch the clip of Beck trying to justify what he tried to do to Medina and then ask yourself why both the progressive democrats and republican are so worried.
As for Debera Medina, well, I think the attack had a negative effect and Glenn Beck wasn't prepared for the 'BLOW BACK'. While Glenn's ratings are dropping, Medina's are rising, and so is her money chest. I received a lot of emails asking where people from all over the country could go to donate to her campaign.
The lesson here is, "Don't mess with the Ron Paul Constitutional Tea Party Candidates". The Tea Party started with Ron Paul, not Glenn Beck and not with the Republican Party per say. The True Tea Party Movement is built on a Constitutional Ideology which the NYT's attributes to Ron Paul and labels it a Patriot Ideology.

Beck apparently disagrees. The following day he told his audience that the most important question to ask anyone is whether they think “our government blew up the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. … There’s no bigger question you can ask,” he said. It’s a “deal breaker” -- right up there with abortion, healthcare reform, and the Trans-Texas Corridor.
“We’re In This to Win”
Contacted for comment, Penny Freeman in an email told NWV there had been no list of questions, but Pat Gray, Beck’s producer, had sent a list of topics to be discussed and her beliefs about 9/11 wasn’t among them. She said it was too soon to judge the impact of the interview on the campaign, but Google hits for Medina “went through the roof, as did our donations and store sale.”
“I think Glen’s rudeness and comments about French kissing Perry made a lot of people really angry – angry enough to look into the campaign,” she said. FULL STORY

Once more, after being written out of the script by the newspapers and television producers, the scrappy congressman from Texas, Ron Paul is back in the mix. And big time. Sarah Palin, of all people, put him there.
After turning down thousands of speaking invitations over a six month period Sarah Palin finally accepted a gig for the National Tea Party, a grass roots phenomenon that owes its life to that unstoppable old man from Texas. And then the news that she is endorsing Rand Paul, the congressman’s son, and an emerging star in the Kentucky Senate race. Who says Sarah Palin is dumb? She is tapping into the hottest political movement going.
The fact is, Sarah Palin can only be stopped on her way to her GOP coronation by a Ron Paul ambush in Iowa. Only Paul has activists who will fall on their swords for him and will go to work early enough to make a difference.
Yes, I know. Ron Paul is too old. And he did not poll well last time. But his base only really discovered him late in the process and they have been very busy since. He has grown on a lot of people. What looked nutty in 2008, like actually auditing the Federal Reserve, is now widely accepted as common sense. The national Tea Party sprang from his loins.
But nothing they write or say or fail to write or fail to say can hide the truth from the millions of Americans who have heard the clarion call. In 2008 Ron Paul slipped through their nets and onto television in the Republican Debates. And America will never be the same.
Sarah Palin has the right idea, and give her credit for trying. But I know Ron Paul. He is a friend of mine. And Sarah Palin, you are no Ron Paul FULL STORY

This morning I received an email from a friend telling me that Glenn Beck talked about the article and his attack on Debra Median, candidate for governor of Texas last Thursday on his radio show.
So I went out and found the clip of Glenn's show to see how he tries to justify trying (and I stress the word TRY) to sabotage her campaign in favor of Rick Perry.
The Times article starts out talking about Pam Stout from Sandpoint, Idaho who has not always lived in fear of her government.
"But all that was before the Great Recession and the bank bailouts, before Barack Obama took the White House by promising sweeping change on multiple fronts, before her son lost his job and his house. Mrs. Stout said she awoke to see Washington as a threat, a place where crises is manipulated - even manufactured - by both parties to grab power."
But that's not how Glenn Beck portrayed the article. A friend who has been fighting for Constitutional Order for the past 20 years, sent me the article to read yesterday and I have to agree with his comment on it.
"It is not blatantly bad.
Their subtle effort to paint the Tea Party as the Doorway to Racist Patriotism is apparent,Glenn took his chalk board yesterday and made a diagram for anyone who is gullible enough to believe him anymore, to show that there are only about 10% of the fringe nut cases out there, 5% on the right and 5% on the left. He claims that the remaining 90% represents the REAL TEA PARTY MOVEMENT.
So the piece is an effort to spread Fear of the subject, that if you look down the Rabbit Hole you will fall in and never get out like these poor souls who think that they can change the status quo and are seeing armed conflict as inevitable.
The summary on this is those who are not hurting and have a financial stake (government operatives) in keeping the racial strife alive and well in America so that they can make money without being productive, do not sense anything wrong with America and are afraid that a couple of people who are hurting are going to get violent so they must be further marginalized because of what they MIGHT SAY!
Certainly a piece to take the wind out of the Sails of the Tea Party/Liberty Movement."

In a debt crisis, Washington, Wall Street and European governments still seem to think that the only way to “restore investor confidence” is to pump in massive amounts of rescue capital, bail out the sinking ships, and plug the biggest leaks in the system.

The Spreading Rot
In a debt crisis, Washington, Wall Street and European governments still seem to think that the only way to “restore investor confidence” is to pump in massive amounts of rescue capital, bail out the sinking ships, and plug the biggest leaks in the system.
But they accomplish little more than spreading the bad debts from one place to another. And recent history has proven, ad nauseam, that the relief they provide is pitifully short-lived … while the toxic material they spread is inevitably lethal.
Yet, despite everything, few have recognized the historical patterns that have emerged:
Pattern #1
The stampede to risk is a herd phenomenon.
Pattern #2
Greed breeds corruption. To keep the party
going, companies and governments dress up
the numbers, hide the facts, or simply lie
through their teeth.
Pattern #3
Inevitably the truth is revealed,
setting investors on a selling frenzy.
Like predators, they first attack the
weakest, at the periphery of the herd.
Pattern #4
The bailouts merely helped
spread the rot.
The most important pattern of all:
Until and unless excess debts are liquidated,
the disease cannot be subdued. It will merely
return at a different time, in a different form.
Next to feel the pain: Sovereign nations!

Menendez NJ Recall Update: The Tea Party Goes to Court
by Liberty Chick
Tea Party activists might be smarter than some would like to think. And depending upon the outcome of a court case later this month, they might also play a role in setting legal precedent.
When the parties present their oral arguments on February 26th, much of the case may come down to how it is framed. Attorneys for both Senator Menendez and for NJ state election officials have focused their briefs solidly on one key constitutional point:
“As the US Constitution reserves to the United States Senate the power to expel and determine the qualifications of its own members, New Jersey has no authority to recall a US Senator.”
While this is a premise that has agreement among legal scholars, it is also largely debated – because it has never actually been definitively ruled in a court of law. Many loosely related rulings or references to debate at the Constitutional Convention are often cited, though, as the NJ State Attorney General herself concedes, “there are no federal decisions squarely on point.” Most importantly, NJ actually changed its state Constitution in to specifically permit the recall of a US Senator after a ballot vote in 1993. In the absence of any definitive ruling that renders the state’s recall law unconstitutional, other legal experts maintain that the Committee may very well have a legitimate case to plead.
The Committee’s attorneys argue that the constitutional issue raised by the state and Menendez attorneys is not ripe anyway. Since the recall notice was denied before the petition could circulate, before it could be certified that the petition met the minimum number of signatures required, before a recall election could be conducted, and before an election result could even be certified, no one has even made any demand yet that a recall order be issued against Senator Menendez.
They contend that the State is focused on the wrong issue:
“The State, asserting only that it has no power to issue a judicially enforceable order to recall a U.S. Senator, argues the Committee has failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits. However, the State focuses on the wrong issue.
This issue before this Court concerns the State’s content-based restriction on the Committee’s right to freely exercise core political speech, not the dispute over whether a recall order issued by the Secretary of State is judicially enforceable as against Senator Menendez or the United States Senate.
The Committee has clearly shown a likelihood of its ultimate success on the sole ripe Constitutional issue before the Court, i.e., the right to freely engage in core political speech.”
So, while the attorneys for the state and for Senator Menendez are primarily focused on the Constitutional question of who has the right to recall a US Senator, attorneys for the committee are focused on the constitutional question of First Amendment rights. FULL STORY

Hold to the Truth....Which Truth??????
"Question Boldly, Hold to the Truth, Speak Without Fear," so preaches Glenn Beck. Sooooooooo:
Okay, so what are 9/11 truthers? They are simply people who want the truth about what happened on 9/11. Any reason why someone shouldn't be interested in the truth? No. Any reason people should accept without question what the media says about America's biggest tragedy? No. Why attack Mrs. Medina just because she didn't give an absolute no to being a 9/11 truther? Before you accuse her for being a "9/11 truther", maybe you should do your own research. Dad has researched it for years. I have spent hours and hours researching it. I will not say who I think was responsible for 9/11 because I do NOT know, there is too much hidden information and too many unanswered questions. But I do not believe for one second that those planes were the reason those two buildings collapsed because there IS enough sufficient evidence to prove otherwise. What about building 7? What caused it to collapse? No planes hit it and it collapsed in less than 10 seconds. Before you decide to rule out Mrs. Medina simply because she doesn't say "there was no way the government was behind 9/11"....do your research!!! FULL STORY

Questions; Ask Them
In case you are one of the 10 or 20 people who haven’t heard of the Glen Beck Debra Medina controversy I might as well weight in here myself. I just happen to be listening to Glenn Beck yesterday and heard the interview live
Glen Beck asks Debra Median, candidate for governor of Texas, “If she believed the government killed 3,000 people on 9/11, and her answer was “I don’t know”
(The interview is at the end of the post)
However I don’t think the larger issue is if Debra Median is a “truther” or not but the fire storm that has ensued by the act of asking a question.
Aren’t conservatives supposed to be critical thinkers? Doesn’t critical thinking require asking questions and then assessing the answers according to facts and reason? FULL STORY

Glenn Beck, the self-proclaimed Patriot and Leader of the Freedom Movement seem to have forgotten some of the history lessons he has been giving on his TV show. He has forgotten how he stood in front of the camera in tears telling all of us to "Question with Boldness", because now, Glenn, you will find that your ratings can drop a lot faster than your rise to fame. I saw Fox trying to do damage control this weekend, sorry, it isn't going to work. Big mistake Glenn.
Debra Medina is offering Texas a choice, Freedom or the same ol Statism Quo.
Debra Medina is offering Texas a choice, Freedom or the same ol Statism Quo.
statism |ˈstātˌizəm|
Medina is offering Texans the RIGHT to completely own their own property without governments ability to confiscate it.
When the government has the ability to tax your personal property, then government can and will control your life. This is not the system that founded this country. It is the system that our founders fought against when they wrote and served the Declaration Of Independence.
I recommend everyone to read the book written by David T. Beito, "Taxpayers In Revolt" Tax Resistance During The Great Depression.
Maybe then you will understand why Medina is campaigning on the elimination of property taxes. And if she wins, guess what else will occur. How about all those permits for every little thing you want to do to your own property.
Now, if this happens, it means all across Texas the County and State Employees who work in these departments will get a pink slip.
WOW!!! Isn't that what Republican Candidates keep promising and we never get? Smaller Government and Lower Taxes.
So why would Glenn Beck feel the need to try and smear Debra Medina and her campaign? And look how Beck is treating her supporters, using a broad brush to paint them all as kooks and unpatriotic if they dare to "QUESTION WITH BOLDNESS" their government.
Beck has even attacked the Families of the Victims of 9/11 for their "QUESTIONS WITH BOLDNESS". So what's up with that?
I don't know about the rest of the people in this country, but I am really sick and tired of this type of dirty politics. I'm tired of being labeled as a nut case just because I dare to read both the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of the state of Michigan.
I am tired of being told that the Bill of Rights doesn't matter, and that I have to accept whatever candidate the parties try to shove down our throat.
You want to see just how dirty this all gets, try joining either party, become a precinct delegate and bring up the Constitution. See just how quick they close their ranks and cut you out of any type of leadership roll within their little club. Been there and done that one.
Until the American people really take it upon themselves to get educated, and accept Freedom, this will just continue on and we will loose in the end. Either you want a Constitutional Republic and Rule of Law, or you want Socialism and The Mob Rule of Man.
The city of Vallejo, California has already filed for bankruptcy protection and two small towns northeast of San Francisco, Iselton and Rio Vista, are "consulting with bankruptcy lawyers," reports the Wall Street Journal.

In Nevada, where the unemployment rate has hit a 25-year high of 8 percent, that state’s budget must be slashed from $6.8 billion over two years to between $5.4 and $5.8 billion. Compounding the problem is that the Silver State’s Public Employment Retirement System has lost $4 billion on its investments since July. NPERS has always claimed it is actuarially sound but that assumes a constant 8 percent return on its investments. No doubt the 19 percent loss the system has incurred the last few months will destroy these assumptions. FULL STORY

BREAKING: Fort Worth 912 President comes out in support of and to the aide of Debra Medina!

President Adrian Murray of the Fort Worth chapter of the "912 Project" [a.k.a. the Glenn Beck Project] relates Irish struggle against tyranny to the modern day fight.

President Adrian Murray of the Fort Worth chapter of the "912 Project" [a.k.a. the Glenn Beck Project] relates Irish struggle against tyranny to the modern day fight.
I first met her last May at the Old South Pancake House in Fort Worth, which for reasons beyond me is a favorite meeting and dining place for local politicos. She spoke for 40 minutes or so and although her delivery was not yet refined she spoke with a truth of conviction and belief that resonated. I said to Renee when we left that I agreed with everything she has to say. Too bad she doesn't have a snowball's chance of winning, I said.
As the months passed we followed her and her message sharpened and became more refined as she gained confidence that her ideas were resonating with the people. We marveled as the crowds coming to hear her swelled from 25 or 50 to 100 to 200 to 1,000 or more. We found great joy as her poll numbers moved from nothing to 4% to 8% to 12% to 24%. She could actually do this, we began to believe. She could actually win.
Unfortunately, others had the same belief: This woman, this upstart, might actually win. But for them the feeling was not one of joy, no sense of triumph for the common man. It was one of fear. This was not part of the script. So she was drawn into an ambush and attacked. One only has to remember the story of another Irish hero, Michael Collins, to understand exactly what went on that day. The royalty must be preserved, the bloodlines must go on, no matter the cost.
So an alleged populist hero sold his soul in a Faustian compact with the power elite. He must be so proud. Sadly, such things happen all the time and history is rife with false icons. Welcome to reality. But we must never forget, painful though the lessons might be, that true belief begins first with self. Believe first in what you know is right and let your own instinct be your guide.
