Going to the mattresses in Montana
Former Rep. Matthew Monforton of Bozeman is a stand up guy and a friend of mine. He understands the politics of Montana as well as anyone. He’s on the warpath against the latest scheme of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. He spells it out in this article in The Resurgent.
This is my most favorite kind of politics: putting down megalomaniacs like Zinke. My buddy Bob Clarke, a political hit man from Pennsylvania, and I took out down a Zinke type, former Interior Secretary Wally Hickel. We took him out in the Republican primaries for Governor of Alaska in 1978 and 1986. We could have taken him out again in 1990, but our godfather, former Gov. Jay Hammond, called us off. And we spent virtually no money doing it.
My son and Reagan Project co-founder Brendan lives in Bozeman, and is very interested in politics. This little project, named for the moment Montana Republicans for Integrity, would be a good introduction to my kind of politics.
An American tragedy in three acts
In the course of my life I saw three great tragedies, none of which would have occurred without the others: The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the assumption of office of Lyndon Johnson and the Vietnam War.
My son Darren believes there’s a Rule of Three in this world. Maybe he’s right. In 1968 we had the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., and the rise of Richard Nixon.
Good things come in threes as well, like my two granddaughters and one grandson. And, for Catholics, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We is better than I
We isn’t just twice the word that I is, it’s also how things get done in this world. A couple of state legislators who I respect have agreed to begin working with me on my Fix Article Five Amendment (FAFA?).
Progress will be reported as it occurs.
The Ryan retirement
Its creatures may come and go, but the swamp is forever.
Until we weaponize Article V.
