Leaders, followersand fence-sitters:Obamacare

From Redstate.comWhen conservatives look

for elected Republicans tostand for our values, we arenot just looking for someonewho might vote with conser-vatives when convenient; weare looking for someone whowill give voice to conserva-tives. Hence, we are lookingfor leaders – people who willarticulate the message, fightthe conservative battles, andmove the polls. We have noneed for more followers,fence-sitters, and fingerlickers. The recent develop-ments in the fight to defundObamacare serve as a quint-essential example of this di-vide between the leaders andthe fence-sitters.

After several months ofhard work from Jim DeMint,Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, TomGraves, Mark Meadows, andsome of the outside groups,there is tremendous momen-tum behind using the budgetbills to force the issue onObamacare once and for all.Obamacare is now more un-popular than ever. It is so un-popular that Republicansare viewed as more favorableon healthcare than Democrats.This has not happened inyears.

Introduction to (secret) TTP(Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership)By Robert MurphyIn Tea Party Economist

My cousin has been askingme if I’m up to speed on thedangers of the Trans-PacificPartnership (TPP). I explainedto him that Paul Krugman hadjust declared that the TPP wasno big deal, so I assumed itmust be awful, but, no, I didn’treally know much about it.After reading some of the in-formation he sent my way, Iam glad he alerted me to thisimportant issue; I can see whyDean Baker chastisedKrugman for his nonchalance,though Baker and I are wor-ried about (slightly) differentaspects of it. In this post, I justwant to “introduce” Free Ad-vice readers to the TPP, tomake sure you know whymore and more people arewarning about it.

Here’s Wikipedia’s open-ing description:

Since 2010, negotiations havebeen taking place [9] for theTrans-Pacific Partnership(TPP), a proposal for a signifi-cantly expanded version ofTPSEP. The TPP is a proposedtrade agreement under negotia-tion by (as of August 2013) Aus-tralia, Brunei, Chile, Canada,Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, NewZealand, Peru, Singapore, theUnited States, and Vietnam. [10]

The TPP is intended to be a“high-standard” agreementaimed at emerging trade issuesin the 21st century. [11] On No-vember 13, 2013, a complete draftof the treaty’s Intellectual Prop-erty Rights chapter was pub-lished by WikiLeaks. [12][13]This and other leaks have drawncriticism and protest of the nego-tiations from global health ex-perts, internet freedom activists,environmentalists, organized la-bor, advocacy groups and electedofficials, in large part due to thesecrecy of the negotiations, theexpansive scope of the agreement,and controversial clauses in the

drafts leaked to the public.The website The New

American has a lot of goodcoverage of the TPP, but thisessay from August 2013 is thesingle best one that gets oneup to speed on some of theessential concerns. Here aresome key excerpts (bold ismine):

The USTR [U.S. Trade Rep-resentative] “Fact Sheet” citesas evidence of its transparencyefforts the number of consulta-tions it has held with its selectedtrade advisory committees andprivileged “Civil Society stake-holders.” It states, for instance:

Over the course of the TPPnegotiations, USTR has con-ducted more than 147 meet-ings with the trade advisorycommittees. Since June 11,2010, USTR has posted 110TPP documents to a websitefor cleared trade advisors toreview and provide com-ments.

This transparency boastactually exposes a dangerousfeature of the TPP process:The TPP documents are notavailable to the averageAmerican citizen, only to“cleared trade advisors.” Andwho are the “cleared tradeadvisors”? According to theUSTR, these are “represen-tatives from industry, agri-culture, services, labor, stateand local governments, andpublic interest groups.” But,apparently, that does not in-clude elected representativesof the American people, sincemembers of Congress havebeen forced to plead, andthreaten in order to get a peepat the secret TPP texts.

For instance, Senator RonWyden (D-Ore.), the chair-man of the Senate FinanceCommittee’s subcommitteeon International Trade, Cus-toms, and Global Competi-tiveness, requested copies ofthe TPP draft documents butwas stonewalled by the USTR.When Senator Wyden threat-ened to propose a measure inthe Senate that would forcetransparency on the process,the USTR agreed to grant thesenator a peek at the docu-ments, though his staff wasnot permitted to see them.This type of secretive processhas no legitimate place in oursystem of government, and itobviously puts Congress at adistinct disadvantage in theTPP process, since the realwork of examining the de-tailed legal texts normally fallsto congressional staff mem-bers who are often experts inparticular areas of domesticand foreign policy.

Wyden spokeswoman Jen-nifer Hoelzer … pointed out,“An advisor at Halliburton orthe MPAA [Motion PictureAssociation of America] isgiven a password that allowshim or her to go on the USTRwebsite and view the TPPagreement anytime he or shewants. (As just one exampleof the enormous dangers that

are lurking in the hundreds(or thousands) of pages of still-secret texts, consider theleaked TPP draft text on intel-lectual property that wouldthreaten Internet freedom –as well as American sover-eignty – with new TPP sur-veillance requirements. AsThe New American reportedlast year, the leaked documentwould mandate that TPPmember nations enact regu-lations that require Internetservice providers (ISPs) to pri-vately enforce copyright pro-tection laws. “Current U.S.law,” noted The NewAmerican’s Joe Wolverton,“specifically the Digital Mil-lennium Copyright Act(DMCA), would be sup-planted by TPP Article 16.3.This provision in the TPP draftdocument paves the way fora new copyright enforcementscheme that extends far be-yond the limits currently im-posed by DMCA.”

The Electronic FrontierFoundation pointed out theTPP threat to Internet free-dom:

Private ISP enforcement ofcopyright poses a seriousthreat to free speech on theInternet, because it makes of-fering open platforms foruser-generated content eco-nomically untenable. For ex-ample, on an ad-supportedsite, the costs of reviewingeach post will generally ex-ceed the pennies of revenueone might get from ads. Evenobvious fair uses could be-come too risky to host, lead-ing to an Internet with onlycautious and conservativecontent.

The net effect would be tosqueeze out the smaller, inde-pendent ISPs, furthercartelizing our communica-tions and news media, andeventually wiping out theburgeoning alternativeInternet-based news media.

I’ll be returning to this topicin the future, but I wanted toat least make my readersaware of the controversy. TheObama Administration isseeking to restore “fast-trackapproval” powers on this,which would allow an up-or-down vote on the whole TPPwithout discussion of its indi-vidual components.

As a final point in this in-troductory post, let me saythis: The problem with these“free trade” agreements is thatsome critics rely on centuries-old protectionist fallacies;they are afraid of “cheap im-ports.” Anyone familiar withBastiat understands why suchworries are misplaced.

However, those of us whobelieve in genuine free tradeshouldn’t trust governmentofficials when they title some-thing a “free trade” agree-ment. It doesn’t take years ofbackroom negotiations to re-duce tariff rates. No, some-thing is really fishy with thisTPP and other such deals.

Letter to the editorRoad sign thieves

In the area just northwestof town there has been a rashof road sign thefts.

If I remember, this is afelony and these signs can’t besold for scrap metal without abill of sale to show the signsare legally owned by the seller.

I would be willing to wa-ger that the signs are decorat-ing some teenager’s bedroom.If the parents are aware of thisand don’t do anything aboutit, then they are accessories.

The thefts of these signspresents a danger to the trafficin the area. I’m sure the theftsare happening in the middleof the night when the arearesidents are in bed. What’sthe answer? I don’t know.

People in the area need tobe alert to strange activitiesand get tag numbers if pos-sible.

A neighborhood watchwould be helpful. Have thesebeen reported to the sheriff’soffice? They can’t be every-where and they do patrolsaround the county.

If you can’t get a tag num-ber, report it immediately.Someone could always sneakup behind them and bust offthree or four rounds in the airfrom a 12 gauge. By the timethey got the skid marks out oftheir shorts they probablywouldn’t be interested in steal-ing anymore road signs.

The rural areas are moresparsely populated than theywere even a few years ago.This is also a problem. Steal-ing road signs is a seriousproblem.

I don’t have an answer.People in the area need to bealert and watch for strangevehicles and report any un-usual activities.

Some folks that live in thearea asked me to write aboutthis. I haven’t seen anythingin this paper about this. I don’tknow if the thefts were re-ported or not. Maybe this willhelp.

HENNESSEYLOMEGAKINGFISHER DOVER CRESCENT OKARCHECASHION

Fielding a handful of wres-tlers who less than 24 hoursprevious were busy winningthe Class 3A football champi-onship, the Kingfisher HighSchool squad took fourth placeat its own invitational tourna-ment at the APB.

KHS finished with 127.5team points and was one ofjust seven teams able to com-plete the tournament held Dec.20 and 21 due to inclementweather.

Pawhuska and Pawneeweren’t allowed to travel forthe first day of the tourna-ment. Morrison, Yukon,

Crossings Christian and Enidmade the trip Friday, butcouldn’t come back Saturday.

That opened the door forLiberal (Kan.) and EdmondMemorial to share the tourna-ment crown as they posted160 points each.

Kingfisher’s Maddy Roneywon the 120-pound title, hisbrother Christian Roney wonat 152 pounds and sophomoreNathan Townsend claimedthe 160-pound title for theJackets.

Townsend was impressivethroughout as only one of hissix matches went beyond 1:00

mark and he pinned every foe,including Tonkawa’s TadLinton in the finals. Townsendneeded just 45 seconds for thatwin.

The Roneys didn’t havequite that easy a time, but werestill unbeaten throughout.

Maddy Roney won threeof his four pool matches byfall, earned a technical fall inthe quarterfinals and a majordecision in the semifinals.

Once in the title bout,Roney outwrestledTonkawa’s Owen Simpson 10-8.

Christian Roney won his

first four pool matches by falland the fifth via technical fall.He pinned his quarterfinal andsemifinal foes before kockingoff Tonkawa’s Kevin Howard11-4 in the finale.

Despite dropping thosetitle matches to Kingfisher,Tonkawa was able to edgeKHS in the team standingswith 138.5 points.

One of the football playerswho made the quick turn-around was Gabe Rednose.

The sophomore 220-pounder won his first poolmatch 6-3, then went on to pinhis next four foes to earn a

spot in the finals.Rednose was pinned by

Liberal’s Ryan McClurg at4:57, but still earned secondplace.

Also for KHS, AustinGruber took fourth place at132 pounds, Tyler Faine wasfourth at 126, Ben Gray wasfifth at 106 and Lane Holt sixthat 182.

Sophomore Triston Cortezwon the 106-pound title, butwrestled unattached. Thesame went for Tyler Mitchell,who was fifth at 160 pounds.

Another pair of footballplayers, juniors Brady Smith

and Brett Smith, wrestled justenough to certify their weightbefore defaulting the rest oftheir matches.

Brady Smith earned a pairof technical fall victories at 152pounds before dropping out.Brett Smith pinned his loneopponent and defaulted therest of his 160-pound matches.Team Standings1. Liberal 160 Edmond Memorial 1603. Tonkawa 138.54. Kingfisher 127.55. McAlester 1196. Edmond North 867. Casady 55

Late push rallies Ada past Lomega at Mid-America

By Michael SwisherTimes-Free Press Sports

I had a million differentthoughts to put into this spaceas a state championship runin any sport will conjure upall sorts of ideas.

However, the more Ithought about it, the more Iknew pictures would do itmore justice.

So, while I will offer up afew bits here - with more tocome later I’m sure - I thoughtit best to let the pictures tellsome more of the story ofKingfisher 30-23 win overBlanchard in the Class 3Afootball state championshipgame on Dec. 19.

So let me begin by thank-ing Kingfisher High Schooljunior Kaitlin St. Cyr.

Kaitlin isn’t just respon-sible for the pictures you’reseeing on this page, but alsofrom the images that ap-peared in the Dec. 22 editionthat detailed the state cham-pionship game.

And beyond that, it washer work you saw on thesepages for each and every oneof the 15 football games thisseason.

From Guymon to Chandlerto Newcastle to Choctaw toStillwater toKingfisher....Kaitlin and therest of Dr. A.J. Johnson’s KHSPhotography staff were thereworking well into their week-end nights to deliver some ofthe best images you’ll see byany high school staff any-where.

But it was Kaitlin I inces-santly bugged every Mondaymorning to make sure I wasgoing to get my next crop ofpictures.

She always delivered.

Glad I’m going to have heraround one more year.

Here are a couple morequick observations from thegame. Again, more to come inlater editions:

• First and foremost, youhave to start with the perfor-mance by Nick Smith.

The numbers speak forthemselves: 10 carries, 234yards, 4 touchdowns, 3 extra-point kicks, 1 field goal, 30points.

In other words, he scoredevery single point for King-fisher.

That’s a fantastic showingin a regular-season game.

It’s a gargantuan showingin a state championship game.It’s one for the ages and that’snot hyperbole.

People, not just in King-fisher, will be talking aboutwhat Nick Smith did on Dec.19, 2013, for a long time tocome.

• I must pat myself on theback a little bit. I told severalpeople leading up to the gamethat I liked Kingfisher’schances. One of the biggestreasons was that I knewBlanchard had “a LandonNault,” ie. a wonderful backin the form of Braden Stringer.I also knew Blanchard didn’thave “a Nick Smith,” ie. an-other talented back to turn towhen the opposing defensewas able to slow or stop thefeatured back. Kingfisher wasthe better team because it hadmore weapons.

• You have to give offen-sive coordinator Micah Nalland the rest of the offensivestaff credit for being preparedfor that situation (they wereall year) and having thewrinkles ready to go when itbecame obvious they were

going to have to try some-thing different.

• Also kudos to Nault. Bynumbers alone, it was hisworst offensive performanceof the season, but he wasn’tany less effective than he wason the many nights he ran for200-plus yards and five TDsin his career. If he was on thefield, Blanchard had to respecthim. They feared what hecould do and weren’t goingto let him beat them. Thethreat of Nault allowed Smithto do it instead. Nault wasmore than willing to play therole of decoy, the true sign ofa mature leader who put teamgold in front of individual sta-tistics.

• Give credit to senior cen-ter Trey Buckner. Hestruggled with the snap in thefirst half and it cost Kingfisherdearly at times (although notall that got past the QBs werehis fault). However, Bucknersettled down and you didn’tsee those issues in the secondhalf. He didn’t get upset. Hewent to the sideline andworked on it. If you’ll remem-ber, Buckner injured a kneethe previous week againstSeminole in the first half anddidn’t return. He missedmuch of the week of practicedue to the injury, so he didn’tget in the reps he normallydoes during a practice week.The center needs those repsjust as much as QBs, runningbacks and receivers.

• In the four previous play-off games, KHS forced 20 to-tal turnovers. It got noneagainst Blanchard, but stillfound a way to win. Again,proof Kingfisher was just bet-ter from top to bottom.

Stay tuned for more as welook at the entire 2013 season.
