"Montana is a Small Town with Long Streets" - Montana Political Blogger
"" About Your Host
When I first started this blog, I had approximately 1 reader, namely my wife, and that has grown quite a bit. I started off trying to be semi-anonymous, mainly since you just never know about certain folks on the intarweb. (You could always check the WHOIS info for the domain, and turn me up, though.) As time rolled on, semi-anonymity became increasingly difficult to maintain, so I decided not to fight it. Anyway, on we go with the particulars:
About Me
One of my favorite topics!
Name: Craig Sprout
Location: Billings Helena, Montana (though I still think of Ennis as my hometown — sorry, I can’t help it).
Age: If you poke around in the archives, you can find my birthday. I’ll just give you the year (more or less): Nixon was president.
Occupation: Pet Nerd
Employer: I’m employed by the State of Montana.
Disclaimer: The opinions here are my own, not those of my employer, and is just stuff that I find interesting. I’m not trying to advance an agenda, I’m not paid by anyone (but if someone wants to pay me for doing this, just let me know!), this is just an extended bull session. Only that and nothing more.
Political Leanings: Mainly conservative, but that’s just a word, and it’s very vaguely defined. I’ve also been called a neo-con (what the hell ever that is), a tool of the Jews (they’re very good brainwashers, evidently), a bigot (not true; I hate everyone equally), a racist (also not true; I think that the Indy 500 and Daytona 500 each have their own unique charm), a queer-lover and a homophobe, and my personal favorite, “very sick liberal.” I think that about covers it. So, let’s just get some things out in the open.
I believe that the preamble to the Constitution is possibly the best, most concise mission statement that has ever, or will ever be written.
Rights are granted to governments by people, not vice-versa.
The freer the market, the freer the people.
Having said that, a free market is a government project.
Government is not inherently bad or evil, and is, in fact necessary. However, it is like a tree, and needs to be pruned of useless branches from time to time.
Taxes would be more fair on consumption, rather than production.
The public schools are increasingly failing to give kids a good education, and are instead turning out a bunch of self-obsessed semi-literates who increasingly think feel that the world owes them every little thing.
The semi-colon is a vastly underrated punctuation mark; the ellipsis the most overused . . .
You can’t polish a turd.
The two constitutional amendments most in need of being repealed: 17th and 22nd.
The only gun in my home is my wife’s .22, and it hasn’t been fired in at least 6 years, but I don’t remember firing it since my wife and I started dating, and that was quite a while ago.
You can put lipstick on a sow, and call it something else, but the fact remains; it’s still a sow.
The essence of freedom is that while you are free to succeed, you are also free to fail, and no one should prevent your from failing. Prevention of failure is anathema to freedom.
Lawyers and insurance companies bear more blame for the mess that is health care than anything else.
Tax cuts are not expenses for the government; they are on the revenue side of things. It means that the government is taking less from you, not giving you any money back.
Your tax refund isn’t government largesse, either. That’s money that you’ve let sit earning interest for someone else.
In Montana, property owners bear a disproportionate share of the tax burden.
There’s no such thing as common sense. If it were so common, everyone would have it.
Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself. I am vast. I contain multitudes. But mostly, I’m just vast.
Sometimes you find unexpected wisdom in music:
I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you done.
I walk away from trouble when I can.
Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek,
And papa, I sure hope you understand:
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man.–Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers
Government policy doesn’t create jobs.
Mainly policy stifles job creation.
Government Politics does one thing very well — provides semi-honest employment for hordes of would-be crooks.
Decisions are better made locally.
Isn’t there a small-government party around that aren’t total loons?
The Republicans have turned into Democrat-Lite, I swear.
Having said that, though, I do mostly vote Republican.
The 5 words that need to be repeated most often are: “Congress shall make no law”
I’ll add to this as people misrepresent my positions, or set up arguments against positions that I’ve never advanced.
That oughta do for now. I’ll update as necessary. ""

"President Letter from Roy P. Pilkey was banned from the Bitterroot Public Library as well as the requestor "
More Excerpts from the Real News Coming Out of Hamilton Montana.
"" The President Letter from Roy P. Pilkey was banned from the Bitterroot Public Library as well as the requestor recently. Upon finding the American Library Association (ALA) they have a "Library Bill of Rights" which apparently Gloria Langstaff (director) feels does not apply to her library. Ms. Langstaff will make an appointment with the public, then ban them from the library, so to not uphold the meeting scheduled.
Montana Law is very specific: a library director has no power to take library access from a patron. Only in Hamilton, Montana does the Police and the Library director work together to commit crime.
according to Justice Brennan former US Supreme Court Justice: "Even the slightest redeeming social importance--unorthodox ideas, controversial ideas hateful to the prevailing climate of opinion..." was protected by the first amendment. BUT NOT AT THE BITTERROOT PUBLIC LIBRARY!
In the Bitteroot valley, you will be prosecuted for protected rights of free speech, going against the Montana Constitution and the US Constitution....we have no rights.....see GITMO press release at www.mtjustice.info or on this page (see index at top of home page).
No policies regarding behavior are listed on the website: http://www.bitterrootpubliclibrary.org/ nor was any requests made to leave the library, or stop behavior.
Perhaps they are protecting the public officials who are violating our rights, and the public needs to take back their library, as well as local government, and law enforcement. We do this by running for & holding public office.
Please note: The Bitterroot Public Library will open late October 29, 2009 due to the need to train the staff on appropirate interactions with the public. They plan on learning on when not to call the police when a patron is peacefully assembled on the public property.
The director will learn Montana Law, knowing that an advanced degree is required (which she does not have).
UPDATE: We had a sighting of Gloria Langstaff, it looked like she did not see the light of day much. It comes at no wonder that the board lets her do as she pleases, she looks like one mean Bat. The other librarians in tow, looking extra special "going after" someone who was minding their own business, speaking or bothering no one, did not get asked to leave the library, and the director did a "positive identification" on the offender, executed a call into the Select Committee on Election: The Hamilton Police Department.
This is not a joke. We ask that those who wish to test their luck with fate, like the running of the bulls in Italy, ask for the President's letter from the front desk. If you can survive for 8 seconds, you can have a membership at this wonderful 1 room library. Embezzlement is amongst the fun we have in Hamilton, Montana at the "free" library.
Free to tax the county excessively, use volunteer labor, take estate gifts, and get free accounting, and lease (sorry, $1/yr) from the City of Hamilton. Maybe they should have been friendlier to a candidate for the office of Mayor. Once again, please stand by for our feature film documentary due out in September. BPL is toast. This of ccourse is a figurative statement.
Thank you for the defamatory comments on the August minutes Ms. Langstaff; these were published for 5 days on the BPL homepage. We wonder why you pulled them after our letter was delivered to the NEW chairman. Ask Donald Trump: YOU'RE FIRED!
see the letters page for our BPL letter to the chairman of the library board.
Did we mention that Michael Spreadbury has a great relationship with Stevensville (including their board)? We'll show you in our feature film on justice.
63% of total budget is spent on Administrator salaries, benefits, and pension.
only 1 in 9 dollars are spent on collection materials. (source: 09-10 budget)
Site of arrest attempt: Bittterroot Public Library commons, Hamilton, MT
The ACLU of Montana says that Librarians are tougher than the FBI (see http://www.aclumontana.org/ ) One look at Gloria Langstaff, and no terrorist would want to see that again! At least the ACLU has something right!
We the People of Montana have made initial steps to request ACLU vacate the State of Montana. False advertising claiming to stand up for first amendment rights on Montana Public Radio advertisements. ACLU-MONTANA can find some other boobs to believe them. In another state.
freedom of speech was violated by the Bitterroot Public Library
Peaceful assembly at this gazebo on public property violated
threats to websites by public officials (civil, and criminal threats)
right to recall, not following Montana Law (right to petition government)
More updates: A prison library was set up by a church in Arizona within 6 months which had more books (donated), and a bigger space than the BPL; with volunteers!
The Bitterroot Public Library violates right to assemble, speak, to read, and enjoy a state sponsored right of a "free" library. The "5-year plan" includes:
expanding the 'program area' (this is the "romper room" area) for the children
is signed by departed chair Ellyn Jones and Gloria Langstaff on 2/17/07
The Bitterroot Public Library seems to not be interested in books, or adult learning.
The State of Montana has a library governing document which states that all policies are available to the public as per Administrative Law. Ms. Langstaff informs the Hamilton Police and brings banned books to them.
As per the ALA guidelines, no librarian can censure material from a viewer, or potential reader if not profane nor obscene. The "right" to read, the "right" to view (see http://www.ala.org/ ) has been violated by the Bitterroot Public Library Director.
If the first amendment is not important to our library director, we have found a new area to request our rights. Freedom of speech is being taken by our own public officials in a manner that is consistent with "organized" crime; prearranged understanding and involvement with local law enforcement.
The Bitterroot Public Library would rather keep their '08-09 budgeted $611,000 in the bank of taxpayer money (budget year '09-'10 has $513,000--so where did $100,000 go?).
The Bitterroot Public Library would rather not uphold their own policies, not provide any policies to the public, and be exclusive about what materials come into the library. No public service standards apply, nor any American Library Association guidelines and procedures. The public in the Bitterroot Valley deserve better, it will be so soon. Please run for County office----see the ELECTIONS PAGE for details.
These are our public officials, not answering to the public; making their policies public nor accessable, and not using our tax dollars appropiately. This is why we need to change our Valley by electing public officials who will work for us, instead of a "group", or themselves.
upon further research....we are proud to put up the American Library Association paragraph which supports our cause:
"We state these propositions neither lightly nor as easy generalizations. We here stake out a lofty claim for the value of the written word.
We do so because we believe that it is possessed of enormous variety and usefulness, worthy of cherishing and keeping free. We realize that the application of these propositions may mean the dissemination of ideas and manners of expression that are repugnant to many persons.
We do not state these propositions in the comfortable belief that what people read is unimportant. We believe rather that what people read is deeply important; that ideas can be dangerous; but that the suppression of ideas is fatal to a democratic society......
...Freedom itself is a dangerous way of life, but it is ours."
We the People will gladly add the Bitterroot Public Library as an entity that has refused to uphold freedom of speech, or Montana Law.
These are specifically spelled out in a Montana Library guidance document says must happen. An exemple of public officials acting outside the law. We will clean up our community, one vote at a time. ""

Stephanie DeYoung - Were you ever involved in the Summit Accommodator Exchange Business ? the David Aman - Tonkon Torp Harassment Continues..
Is this Deposition to "Discover' Facts or to Suppress Facts?
It seems to me that David Aman, Tonkon Torp - and Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance, all with the Oregon Department of Justice Blessing - seem to think it is their PAID job to harass and attempt to intimated One Principals' Daughter just because she took a video of a bankruptcy meeting that SHOULD in no way be kept a private secret.
This bankruptcy is supposedly overseen by the United States Justice Department and is SUPPOSED to be of the Highest Fiduciary Duty... Transparency should not Only Be Expected ... it should be a Demanded Standard of Practice.
If Kevin Padrick said things he should NOT have said and anything about this Oregon bankruptcy meeting was against the Law ... well then You the Public who pay for these proceedings along with the Creditors ... you have a right to FULL transparency in ALL actions of this and ALL bankruptcy proceedings.
The point of this Deposition, in my Opinion, seems to be to Scare this Bankruptcy Whistleblower into Stopping to TALK about the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy on her blog at the time www.Summit1031bkJustice.com . Where in fact you can find all the information he is asking except of course the Private Personal Details of Stephanie DeYoung's Life.
The answers to these questions were, or should have already been in the Bankruptcy and FBI file long before this harassing deposition.
David Aman seemed to be upset, as we see in earlier posts about the Blog Stephanie DeYoung had about the Summit 1031 Oregon Bankruptcy, and High Profile Intellectual Property Attorney David Aman, of Tonkon Torp LLP Oregon did not know what to do about her blog to SHUT HER UP... so he emailed her constantly, and tried all kinds of stressful tactics to STOP the BLOG, and then brought her into Deposition and one of those questions was about me, and why I blog about Summit and MY personal EMAILS... which I do not believe is legal to ask ON the Record about a 3rd Party - Private - Personal Email between me and another Party ( a 4th party)... is that LEGAL?
David Aman and Kevin Padrick have spent around a year now trying to Stop this Bankruptcy Whistleblower from telling you the Facts and Details inside the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy, and really the point of Silencing her seems to be about them making sure they keep getting paid without any accountability to anyone for any reason.
Keep in Mind the Silencing Tactics Continue to this Day as this Federally Watchdogged, High profile bankruptcy is using the Local Law Enforcement and District Court time - money ... to Press Criminal Charges... unLawfully - unEthically against Stephanie DeYoung for Video Taping a Meeting that SHOULD be Transparent... and Oregon's Attorney General John Kroger boasts on the State AG site about supporting Open Government and Transparency yet ... when anyone tries to actually bring transparency they are harassed by law enforcment, county attorneys, district courts, that is quite possibly paid off and controlled by the Oregon Attorney Fraternity... to harass and scare this Woman into Stopping to Tell YOU the Truth about a Bankruptcy that involves YOU... really ALL OF YOU...
This bankruptcy has victims in many states, it is federally paid for to Watchdog it with the DOJ Trustee (though that is NOT happening), so it involves a whole lot if not all of you Tax Paying Citizens Everywhere... it is your money used to "Attempt" to intimidate, shut up, and STOP a Whistleblower from Telling the Truth in an Oregon Bankruptcy as an Industry Insider.
Below is another Part of the David Aman - Tonkon Torp Probe as to Stephanie DeYoung's role or employment in the Summit Accommodator's Exchange Business.
David Aman Tonkon Torp Oregon
Coming Soon ALL Deposition Videos from
the Summit 1031 Exchange Bankruptcy.
Oh Wait, there are no OTHER parties
to the Summit 1031 Exchange Bankruptcy
that were video taped, why is THIS?
Could it be another attempt to Harass - Defame and Expose the Private life of One Woman who is Sharing Too many Details and Truths about the Oregon Bankruptcy Courts and the Summit 1031 Exchange Bankruptcy?
Why insist, Demand- that this Deposition be Video Taped and yet not Insist or Demand this of any other Depositions in the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy PROBE...???
Why Discriminate and Call Out One Woman?
An Obvious, Blatant Attempt to Defame, Torture, Intimidate and Harass ONE Woman, a Bankruptcy Proceeding Industry Insider - A Whistleblower.
Stephanie DeYoung is no where near the top of the Food Chain or Money Trail in this Bankruptcy ... so why single her out - why video ONLY her - she did NOT request this Deposition be Video Taped - David Aman of Tonkon Torp LLP and Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Did and the Department of Justice Trustee is off Somewhere getting a Pay Check for a Job they are NOT Doing.
Think for Yourself Folks...
Investigative Blogs are the News...
