July 2016 profile- Brian Doty : This Is My Country
By Jessica Crabtree
How often do you come across kids who live in town who’d rather live in the country? Who’d love to be just like the cowboys they watch on tv or be able to hunt or fish whenever they’d like. It happens quite regularly, especially with boys. Brian Doty’s life, early on, paralleled that same notion. Born and raised in the small town of Joshua, although it was small, it wasn’t the rural setting he craved. The oldest of three kids, Doty describes his family as good, wholesome and one of faith.
As a child Doty remembers spending all his time outside in the backyard. Throughout his life, Doty can pin point several people who shaped him. His uncle on his father’s side was an avid calf roper. Doty’s earliest memories incorporate roping the dummy in the back yard, going and watching two cousins rodeo and spending every free weekend he could with them. “I remember going to the Cow Bell Rodeo in Mansfield. It’s the rodeo that everyone from the Metroplex attended. I would go and watch, as a child, cousins rope and as a teenager I would go and watch the bull riders,” Doty said. “For me it was just neat. I loved the people, the lifestyle and for a kid who didn’t have the opportunity to ride, all of it was at Cow Bell,” Doty explained. That propelled him to ride his first bull and begin competing.
At the age of 17 Doty began riding bulls. He admitted first he spent his time behind the chutes watching and listening, observing others. However, riding bulls one year soon turned to calf roping when he received his first horse for graduation. To read more pick up a copy of the July 2016 issue.

I am terribly saddened by all the argumentative discourse that seems to be going on in today’s world. It seems as though it is no longer enough just to disagree on certain issues. We are expected to classify someone as an enemy if they do not always agree with us on all issues, lest we be considered weak.
To make things even worse, because those who disagree with you are now considered enemies, the sentiment seems to be that it is only fair and proper to destroy them, because they are the enemy, again with the fear of ridicule for being weak if we do not fight.
With all that said, and seemingly unrelated, I am a big John Wayne fan. From watching him dive into his role as a cowboy, to marveling at his time portraying a soldier or appreciating his acting gig as a sailor, there is seldom a week that goes by without me watching at least one

That old adage, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you.,” may have some basis in truth when applied to minor situations. However, when what you don’t know is presented in the form of a “Trojan Horse” and is what amounts to an incredible attempt to fleece American property rights, it becomes a different story altogether.
To put this unbelievable tale together, we need to step back to Joe Biden’s 2021 Executive Order which pledged commitment to help restore balance on public lands and waters, to create jobs, and to provide a path to align the management of America’s public lands and waters with our nation’s climate, conservation, and clean energy goals.
