Sept. 16 council meeting
It appears the Sept. 16 council meeting will be representative of how quickly the town is being sunk by the slate, the interim town manager and other accommodating council members.

Drug Store Council Cowboys ... new hats no grit
Many of us here in Cave Creek have been part of its equestrian community for decades. Folks that live with horses and embrace that part of the rural life style of Cave Creek are pretty careful about calling themselves Cowboys and Cowgirls. They have more respect for a way of life that brought a day wage living that would break your back, leave your hands, feet, and face frost bitten, leave you too tired to walk after twelve hours in a saddle, give you a bed roll and the dirt to catch some rest, a horse hair rope to keep the snakes away, and another long day in the dust, flies, and heat, or the sleet, snow, and freezing rain.

America's grassroots awakens on Syria, Obamacare
In the face of withering public support for its agenda, the Washington, D.C. establishment was recently dealt two critical blows.
The first came when President Barack Obama asked Congress to postpone indefinitely plans for a Sept. 11 vote on military force in Syria. In his Sept. 10 speech, he began making the case for war against the Assad regime, but then placed his faith in a diplomatic solution proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The U.S. House and Senate are considering an immigration reform bill. Critics of the legislation say that it will not do enough to secure our borders and that it grants amnesty to illegal immigrants. The bigger issue, which has been an important part of the debate, is how increased legal immigration will affect the cost of entitlement programs and the government budget.

Postpone Obamacare compromise the only plan that might work
House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) would do well to embrace new legislation introduced by Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ga.) that funds the government, and defunds and delays implementation of Obamacare until 2015.
It is the only continuing resolution on the table at the moment that achieves the simultaneous goals of avoiding a government shutdown while giving the American people a reprieve from being funneled into government-run, taxpayer-funded health care.
