I Found My Hero And He Is A Congresstional Candidate!!

As a "government drone" hovers over Matt Rosendale, the Republican House candidate from Montana tells the camera what he thinks of government overreach, regulation, and "spying on our citizens."

Then, standing in front of an ATV, Rosendale coolly puts a rifle to his shoulder, looks up through the sight and "downs" the drone with a single shot.

"The federal government is too big and too powerful," Rosendale says. "I'm ready to stand tall for freedom and get Washington out of our lives," he says.

Rosendale is trying to stand out in a five-way primary for Montana's at-large seat in the House.

Sporting a barn jacket and a flattop buzz cut, the state senator lowers the rifle and pledges to get the feds off his constituents' backs—or at least not hovering over their heads.

Montana is among the states that prohibit law enforcement from using drones without a warrant. On the federal level, U.S. Customs and Border Protection runs surveillance operations with its nine-drone fleet.

No, I am afraid I don't like this guy.

Hokum disguised as clarion call to "freedom" is not clever--it's just tiresome.

I am almost certain our Buzzcut Hero will be the first to complain that our "youth" get the wrong ideas from television. And he will be first in line with a full blast of hot air if a bunch green-weenies were to attack an oil rig. But here he is shooting down a drone for all the world to see. Nice example, tough guy.

I actually find the ad sad.

Understood.

However, this is, whether we decide to accept it, or not, a main way to reach folks, particularly young voters, because it capitalizes on taking direct action against this encroachment of the state.
