Successful Ice Fishing

Two men have been sitting out on a lake all day long ice fishing. One has been having no luck at all, while the other has been pulling fish after fish out of his hole in the ice. The man having no luck finally leans over and asks the other what his secret is.

"Mmmmm mmm mm mmm mmmm mmm mmm," is the reply.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"Mmmmm mmm mm mmm mmmm mmm mmm," the successful fisherman repeats.

"I'm sorry, I still didn't understand you."

The man spits something into his hand and says very clearly, "You've got to keep your worms warm."

Ramblings of a Conservative

Cow Doctor

by Krayton Kerns, DVM, former State Rep. HD 58

A Simple yet Relentless Struggle If this weekly column seems redundant, it is because America’s struggle between freedom and bondage is redundant. I will keep hammering away thinking maybe someday, someone, somewhere will finally understand why patriots died for the exceptional idea called America. Liberty’s opposition is nasty as evidenced by the hate mail I receive because rather than debating an issue, progressives prefer to silence all who disagree. This quickly brings me to my point.

Regardless the shiny labels of progressivism or liberalism, the founding ideal driving today’s ruling class is Marxism. The principle it is the proper function of government is to take from each according to their deeds and give to each according to their needs originates from 1848 German philosophers, not 1776 American patriots. Even though wealth redistribution was soundly rejected in

November’s election, there are Marxist remnants in every legislative body. At this early stage of every legislative session, progressives always publically extoll the virtues of compromise and bipartisanship all while privately knowing they will engage in neither. They know Marxism and liberty are mutually exclusive conditions with one advancing only at the expense of the other. They will be damned to relinquish any ground they have gained.

Case in point: Mentioning the proposed Obamacare repeal is always followed by the question, “What is your replacement?” Answering this is to surrender to the premise it is a necessary and proper function of government to regulate or provide healthcare. With that point lost, the next incremental step on our path to a Marxist utopia is to yield decisions regarding diet, exercise, and genetic counseling to government. After all, once

the ruling class controls healthcare, logic dictates the unwashed will not be allowed to eat, exercise and breed indiscriminately. Government control is for the good of the whole, remember?

At its founding, the GOP was a party of liberty, but that time has passed. Every legislative chamber has just enough progressive Republicans willing to help the ruling class Democrats advance Marxism under the bipartisan banner. You can spot them by their voting record. This happens in Helena, in your state capital and in Washington, D.C. and it disgusts me to no end. Ronald Reagan told us “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction,” and once again he is right.

Identify and retire those who vote to enslave you under the guise it is for your own good. There is nothing charitable about committing citizens to a life of dependency either as a benefactor or a beneficiary.

Weaner Pigs: Breeding time Is coming right up, and I don't want to have a ton of piggies running around.

If you're interested, let me know and I will get some on the ground for you. 406397-3332 or 390-4028.

Chinook High School Hosts State B-C Speech & Drama Tournament Jan. 27-28 at MSU-Northern Campus

360 student competitors from up to 60 schools will converge on the MSU-Northern campus the end of January to vie for top honors among Montana's Class B and Class C high school speech and drama teams. The first rounds begin on Friday at 1:30, and the final round starts on Saturday at 3:00. Contests will be held all across the MSU-Northern campus and the public is invited to attend. A full itinerary can be found at the judge's station located at Hensler Auditorium in the Automotive Technical Center (ATC) during the tournament, or contact the local high school coaches prior to the event to find out when your favorite students perform. For questions about the tournament prior to the 27th, call Bonnie Ortner at Chinook High School at 357-2236 or email her at ortnerb@chinookschools.org.

Coach Ortner stresses that she still needs a great number of volunteers to judge the various events in order for the weekend to play out smoothly. "If you've ever watched a TV show or a movie, or have held a political or social opinion of any kind, you are qualified," says Ortner. To sign up to be a judge, visit https://goo.gl/forms/vWwR9W 4wwpktKesu2. The link can also be accessed via facebook at https//facebook.com/state2017. A judge's workshop will be held at the CHS auditorium at 7pm on Jan. 24th, and in Havre at 5pm at Hensler Auditorium on Jan. 25th.
