IT’S NUT CUTTIN’ TIME AMERICA!

THE MOMENT OF TRUTHHAS ARRIVED

FOR IMMEDIATERELEASE

Sometimes serious, at all times humorous and fi lled with satire, It’s Nut Cuttin’ Time is written by someone who just doesn’t comment on politics from the bleachers, but who was actually in the arena for over 25 years.

It’s Nut Cuttin’ Time is an insightful look at the last four years in America, discusses the 2012 election and what lies ahead. It takes aim at the preening politicians of both par-ties and also takes a swing at our self-indulgent celebrity-obsessed pop culture.

Patrick Dorinson is a modern day Will Rogers with sharp elbows who’s had an insider’s view of the political system having been on both sides of the aisle and as he likes to say, “in the aisle itself”.

He now is a proud independent and paraphrasing the words of Marx—Groucho not Karl—says he will not join any political party that would have someone like him as a member.

His unique political journey has been a search for real leaders, regardless of party, to move America forward but says in frustration, “I have chased more false prophets than the ancient Hebrews in the Old Testament”.

He says he is still searching and doesn’t expect the 2012 election will end his search.

ABOUT THE AUTHORPatrick Dorinson is a veteran of the political wars, radio

talk show host and commentator who unlike many so-called pundits, has actually been in the arena and has the battle scars to prove it. He has been on both sides of the aisle and in the aisle itself, having worked over the last 25 year for Republicans and Democrats in both politics and government.

He likes to say that “wisdom comes from experience, most of it bad” and like others before him his political and life philosophy has evolved over the years.

Through it all he has come to consider himself a Libertarian Conservative who believes in limited govern-ment in all things and the basic right of all Americans to live their lives as they see fi t as long as they abide by the laws of the land. Or put another way, government should keep their hands off the public’s wallet and their nose out of folk’s private lives.

Patrick Dorinson is a columnist for the FOX News.com Opinion on the FOX News website and regular contributor to “Th e Arena” on POLITICO the #1 political website in the nation. He is the resident political analyst for Clear Channel’s Newstalk 1530 KFBK radio in Sacramento, California. He also appears regularly as a commentator on local television.

Mr. Dorinson has appeared on Sean Hannity’s Great American Panel on the FOX News Channel and on Cavutoon the FOX Business Channel as well as on FOX News.comwebcasts

He is host of weekly radio talk show, The Cowboy Libertarian with Patrick Dorinson. It airs Saturdays from 5 to 6PM Pacifi c on Newstalk 1530 KFBK .

Dorinson lives on a 15 acre ranch in Nevada City, California, is an avid student of the West and a pretty fair horseman. And he knows that when learning how to ride, the ground is the best teacher, having the broken bones to prove it.

He enjoys working and riding alongside his friends in the ranching and cattle business whenever he gets the opportu-nity. And if he had his druthers and could fi nd an outfi t to hire him he would make his living on the back of a horse.

SOME OBSERVATIONS OF THE COWBOY LIBERTARIAN…

ON POLITICIANS:Politicians are as useless as a one-legged man in a butt

kickin’ contest.

ON ETHICS, VALUES AND CHARACTER:

If you think America’s fi scal and fi nancial defi cits are bad they aren’t half as bad as our ethics and values defi cits. Th e Ten Commandments are now the Ten Suggestions and they are optional.

ON THE NATION’S CAPITAL:Washington is 68 square miles surrounded by reality.

ON HOLLYWOOD:30 square miles of unreality surrounded by more unreality

called California.

ON THE EVER ENCROACHING NANNY STATE:

Life has risk. We can’t legislate, regulate or litigate our way out of every problem.

ON THE PHONY ISSUEOF “FAIRNESS”:

Life isn’t fair and it’s not the government’s job to make it so.

ON GIVEAWAY GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS:

Government never gave anyone anything. Th ey steal it from someone who earned it to give to someone who hasn’t. If you’re looking for a helping hand start by looking at the end of your own damn arm.

AND SOME ADVICE FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENT…

ON GETTINGTHE ECONOMY

MOVING AGAIN: Start by holding a bonfi re on the White House lawn and

throw in all the volumes of federal regulations and the tax code and maybe use a few economists for kindling.

ON REFORMINGCONGRESS:

Congress should only meet for 6 months out of the year. How to accomplish this? Shut down the air conditioning in the summer and the heat in the winter in the Capitol building and all the congressional offi ces. Let them go fi nd honest work the other 6 months or more likely stand in the unemployment line with the rest of America.

ON CUTTINGTHE BUDGET:

Create an Elimination Commission made up of regular folks from across America whose job it will be to eliminate entire departments, agencies and programs that cost too much for little or no return.

All agencies and departments will have to appear before the Elimination Commission and justify why their depart-ment shouldn’t be eliminated. Th ey will have 20 minutes to make their case.

SUGGESTED INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

DESCRIBE YOUR UNIQUE POLITICAL JOURNEY?

At 12 years old I was a Goldwater man and I voted for Reagan twice. When I got into politics I worked for both sides at diff erent times searching for a real leader like a Reagan who would fi x what needed fi xin’ and get done what needs gettin’ done. I am still searching.

ARE THERE ANY HONEST POLITICIANS?

Th e only honest ones are dead.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN PROBLEMS WITH OUR BROKEN POLITICS TODAY?

In a nutshell, the media, the 24-hour news cycle and consultants. Politics is covered today like sports on ESPN complete with panels of experts to dissect every play and we are bombarded with cattle crap all day long on cable TV. Ideas never get a real hearing and “gotcha” issues dominate. And consultants created the “permanent campaign” so they can make money during the non-election years.

DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHO WINS THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2012?

Not really. It is only a choice of who will take the country to Hell the slowest. A great man once said, “Democracy should be more than two wolves settin’ down with a sheep to discuss what to have for supper.” Eventually the sheep will get shorn and then eaten no matter who wins.

YOU WRITE A LOT ABOUT ETHICS, VALUES AND CHARACTER.

ARE THOSE QUALITIES STILL RELEVANT IN ELECTING LEADERS

IN THE 21ST CENTURY?Th ey should be. I am always amazed that Congress has

ethics committees. Members of Congress consult the com-mittee to fi nd out if something they want to do is ethical or not. If you have to ask it isn’t. Any organization that feels the

need to have an ethics committee has no ethics. And we seem to have forgotten what our mothers told us that character is what you do when no one is looking. If a politician will lie to his wife do you think he will tell you the truth?

WHO ARE YOUR HEROES?First my parents who taught me the diff erence between

right and wrong and impressed it on my backside when necessary. However I was a quick learner. As far as public fi gures go, Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne and every cowboy, cowgirl, rancher, farmer and clock punching working stiff who get up every morning and go to work to provide for their families and keep this country moving.

WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS?

My crystal ball is very cloudy on the future. If it was a weather forecast, I would say batten down the hatches and get ready because if you thought the 2008 fi scal and fi nancial storm was bad, the next four years will make that look like a summer shower.

IS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AS BIASED AS REPUBLICANS AND

CONSERVATIVES SAY IT IS?It defi nitely is from what I see. Th ey are so in the tank for

Democrats and Obama they ought to draw a bonus check from the Democratic National Committee. My guess is that if Obama is re-elected they will fi nally ask the tough ques-tions and trash him just to prove they aren’t.

ARE AMERICA’S YOUTH PREPARED TO FACE THE FUTURE

THEY WILL INHERIT?Th ey don’t have a clue about the future much less prepared

for it. Most of them couldn’t fi nd their way home if you took away their phones with GPS. But at least they will have free birth control and gay marriage while they settle in to the poor house their parents bequeathed to them.
