My Elevator Pitch: Ballsy or Bonsai

Published on July 30th, 2010

I was asked yesterday for a description, a thumbnail view, an elevator pitch for The Brian Brawdy Show, Liberty’s Line in the Sand. Great question, I thought. Seemed fair. What can viewers expect? So here we go…

1. I believe we all come from the Earth. Big Bang or Big Breath, Science or the Sacred we all have Dirt in our DNA.

2. Whether we walked out of the Garden of Eden or the savannas of Africa, either way, we walked. We’re nomads and survivalists and preppers at heart.

3. I believe, like John Adams in “the bloom of life” and the individual responsibility of each of us to nurture that bloom in the pursuit of happiness.

4. I believe in individual sovereignty, responsibility and success through self-reliance with limited government interference in that pursuit.

5. As far as the debates between republicans and democrats, between the red states and blue states, I tend to look at the political spectrum as a ReBl, a blend of the best of both. If I had to choose, I’m more inclined to be a libertarian/centrist than anything else.

6. I’m pretty much done with political correctness, the Needia and the spin that permeates the political debate.

7. Sadly, it’s time for us all to become Political Survival Experts.

8. I believe in the individual right to keep and bear arms and the responsibility to protect your family and friends from those with violent intentions.

9. I believe in helping others not because we should (government handouts), but because we can (honor and karma).

10. My life is suffused with reasons to be thankful and is therefore grounded in a gratefulness to The Divine.

Wow. Way too long. Here’s the pitch.

It’s a show about self-reliant, giving, nomadic centrists with dirt in their blood, gratitude in their hearts and a “keep and bear arms” attitude in their minds that are tired of political correctness and journalistic spin, and now calling upon others to become political survival experts in the 21st Century. With no apologies, the show strives to highlight the differences between the Ballsy and the Bonsai, those pursuing happiness full-on and those potted plants waiting for someone else to cultivate it for them.

That works for now…..
