Jim Elliott writes, "If I wanted to keep my kids from reading a book the last thing I would tell them is that they can’t read it. I spent a lot of time as a kid under the covers with a flashlight reading books I wasn’t supposed to."

Jim Elliott writes, "When we object to certain portions of our enumerated freedoms, which form the basis of laws with which we may disagree, such as what some call the 'War on Christianity,' look to history to explain why they are there."

Jim Elliott writes, "Of all the horrors Republicans see in the Democrats’ grossly misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act,” the biggest bogeyman is that the Internal Revenue Service is going to get funding to hire new employees to boost their auditing efforts."

Jim Elliott writes, "Behold state Rep. Brad Tschida bringing national attention to Montana by announcing that a woman’s uterus serves no real purpose for a woman, that it is a “sanctuary” for the pre-born."

JIm Elliott writes, "What I am looking for in county government is continuity of culture; that would be the Montana culture of hard work, common courtesy, helpful neighbors, and working together for the benefit of all."

Jim Elliott writes, "As if Americans weren’t divided enough, the recent leak of the Supreme Court’s apparent decision on the fate of Roe v. Wade has added even more fuel to the fire, burning whatever political bridges still remain among us."

Jim Elliott writes, "Let me lay aside, for the moment, any defense or interpretation of the actual concerns and dwell on the hypocrisy of both left and right, and the self-righteousness of those opposing the actions of others while defending their own actions as something akin to patriotism."
