As we, once again, approach this national day of “thanksgiving” I thought it necessary to reflect upon our nation’s long history of acknowledging and giving thanks to Almighty God. On October 3, 1789 George Washington issued the nation’s first presidential proclamation in which he called the nation to set aside [...]
Number of comments: 1 With regard to health care, the bureaucrats have decided that the people need Big Brother to dictate their health insurance decisions because they can't be trusted to make good choices themselves. This is the height of paternalism: Government knows best and damn the torpedoes.
Amidst the dismal picture of life in our nation's capital, the DC City Council, perhaps on the theory that serving up another glass of wine is the way to help a drunk, is scheduled to vote on December 1 to legalize same sex marriage in America's capital city. It should [...]
Terming the current Obama healthcare legislation a "Trojan Viper," Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson today said that Democrat Congressman Henry Waxman "let the cat out of the bag," when he told a Washington news bureau, "If we get it in place, we can build on it later."
Number of comments: 3 News is spreading across the internet like wildfire today that emails from the East Anglia Climate Research "Unit in England (not too far from where I used to live) have been hacked by someone and released on the web. These emails seem to reveal that some people have known all" [...]
Number of comments: 1 If you support a bill or amendment or procedure to forward a bill or amendment without reading it, studying it, and allowing the voters to review it and advise you, then you are an irresponsible legislator. And the label of “IRRESPONSIBLE” will stick on you in the next election. [...]
Qusi Al-Haj, Senator Thune's West River Director, gave an update at the Citizens for Liberty meeting tonight on the Senate health care bill scheduled for a vote this weekend. It's a big one, it's a bad one, and Americans need to get busy convincing these senators to stop it.
So-called "green jobs" cost more to produce the same output, and cost twice as many jobs in real industry as are created. So why should we waste our time investing in such things to fight an imaginary problem that doesn't exist in the first place?
The socialists in the U.S. Senate have finally released their version of the government takeover of health care, giving we the unwashed a few hours to read it over. Read what you can of the 2,000+ page bill...then let your senators know their re-election is on the line if they [...]
Number of comments: 6 It seems some in the "scientific" community are confused by the vacation that global warming has taken. It's not cooperating with their flimsy hypothesis that human activity is causing the planet to warm up. They need only look at the mountain of information that points to natural and cyclic climate [...]
Approval among Americans for government health care has been dropping, dropping, dropping. Now a new poll from Quinnipiac University finds only 41% of likely voters approve of President Barack Obama's handling of the health care issue.
Number of comments: 3 Ten Republicans broke with their party and supported the nomination of judicial activist Judge David Hamilton to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. Hamilton has ruled public prayer at the beginning of legislative sessions--a practice going back to the first Congress--unconstitutional, and believes judges can write "footnotes to the Constitution.[...]
Number of comments: 8 While certain criminals in our community push the legalization of pot, children are getting caught up in addictions and the problems associated with recreational drug use. Marijuana has become the number one substance abuse problem for children under 18.
Number of comments: 2 President Barack Obama is bobbling again, this time bowing in Shanghai to a Chinese guy after a town hall meeting. Is this one of his Chinese masters, one of the guys who gave him the trillions of dollars he's borrowed to waste in the name of the American people?
Number of comments: 11 Internationally recognized stem cell expert Dr. David Prentice spoke in Rapid City Wednesday about adult and embryonic stem cell research, and human cloning. A petition drive may soon be underway to remove South Dakota's ban on embryonic stem cell research.
Environmentalists shot themselves in the foot with their promotion of the cap and trade global warming tax. In their zeal to bring down a new and much-needed coal power plant, they also brought down the high capacity power lines that would have come with it--high capacity power lines needed to [...]
Number of comments: 3 For some time now, homosexual activists in all their variations have been targeting restrooms and locker rooms for their politically correct war on sexual normality. The latest target is restrooms in Tampa, Florida.
A new study conducted by Associated Press, Stanford University and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation finds that how a poll question is asked--and the information included in it--influences the results of the poll.
Why should we trust the federal government with our health care system when they send millions of our "stimulus" tax dollars to districts that don't exist, and spend hundreds of thousands per "created job"?
Number of comments: 1 One cannot reconcile the radical, leftist philosophies of Barack Obama and his cohorts with the noble goals of our Founding Fathers. We who love the American ideal embrace George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, not Chairman Mao.
Number of comments: 1 A new annual report issued from Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota shows the abortion business turned a record profit in 2008. Total revenues from 2007 to 2008 rose nearly 11 percent as Planned Parenthood raked in almost $3 million more.
Number of comments: 1 Not that anyone really cares what he has to say, but the country’s second worst president recently defended his handling of the Iran hostage crisis in 1979.
Number of comments: 2 A new report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) which finds Washington D.C. is the Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) capital of the nation. D.C.'s cases per 100,000 people is almost three times the rate of neighbors Virginia and Maryland.
Number of comments: 3 A great failing of conservatives and pro-family people is our tendency to shoot our wounded. Rebecca Hagelin reminds us that we need to encourage others who are trying to uphold the standard of what's right, even if they sometimes fail to live up to that standard themselves.
The Rapid City Journal reports Democrat Scott Heidepriem and Republicans Dave Knudson, Ken Knuppe and Scott Munsterman are coming to a forum on Saturday November 21 at 2:00 pm in Rapid City.
President Obama has been criticizing insurance companies. He has claimed that insurance companies make huge profits on health insurance. To people who don’t know the details of the health care system, Obama’s claims may sound good. But, a closer examination of the facts will prove that Obama is wrong.
Number of comments: 5 This report from WTTG shows footage from the dash camera of Officer Keith Urban police car which captured his attempts to write a ticket while a black cat walked up and kept climbing on him, all the way to the top of Officer Urban's head.
Number of comments: 2 The terrorist-sympathizing liberals have been whining about closing Club Gitmo aka the Guantanamo Bay terrorist POW camp. But Steve Crowder of PJTV went to Gitmo to check it out for himself. He found something scary--terrorists here have it better than civilian criminal prisoners in the States.
In a frightening development, sources report that President Barack Obama's home teleprompter failed during a family meal. If a teleprompter can fail in such benign, intimate settings, can the president be considered safe anywhere? Can anyone be safe anywhere?
Saul-turned-Paul's post-conversion experience was, literally, a shipwreck, having been so privileged on three occasions, together with multiple imprisonments, beatings and floggings. Paul understood that God's greatest blessing is not a divine exemption from life's difficulties but, rather, the strength to go through any and every difficulty.
Number of comments: 2 According to an AP poll at Breitbart.com, a plurality of Americans are opposed to the socialist takeover of health care being pushed in congress, and even more are opposed to government health insurance mandates.
Number of comments: 2 Is it accurate that as long as I'm better than the worst examples of human beings, I'm alright. In other words, as long as I don't torture puppies and murder people, God's "down with that" and has to let me into Heaven when I die?
Number of comments: 2 American Ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are not unattainable, impractical things. They are the essence of the American Dream. Protecting life, defending liberty, and pursuing happiness built America. These things will revive America.
Are we going to stand complicit in our silence as wars without limit fought by people who proudly proclaim they love death more than we love life shoot our unarmed citizens in the name of God? Will we allow apologists for evil to blame the second amendment instead of telling [...]
Number of comments: 6 We are frequently told it is the fossil fuel industry that is full of greed. So is the "green" energy industry a paragon of virtue and altruism? The arrests of wind farm millionaires in Europe--who have ties to wind energy in the United States--for taxpayer funded fraud seems to tell [...]
One particular winter in Norway a real long time ago, the Vikings were having a terrible time so they decided to go south for the rest of the winter. After landing on the north shore of Ireland, they liked it so well they decided to stay for a while.
If Obama and his allies in Congress impose a national health care system that is modeled on Medicare, then everyone will start having wrongful medical bill problems. If you think that health care is expensive now, just wait until the government makes it “free.”
The best of the best at Dakota Voice last week, including: Survivor of Socialism Has Warning for America; Fox should replace Geraldo with Dobbs; Creation Museum a Top-Notch Tour of Biblical Science; Homosexual Activists Mull 'Organized Terrorism' Against Christians; Cap and Trade Bill So Flawed, EPA Lawyers Denounce It; D.C.

Number of comments: 4 The New York Times is reporting that world leaders have decided to put off the intended climate change treaty scheduled for Copenhagen next month. Unless this is just a maneuver to get us to drop our guard, we've dodged a deadly bullet...for the moment.
Number of comments: 15 You probably won't want to play this in your Sunday School class or for Sunday night church, and probably not even at your small-group Bible study, but some slightly irreverent parts aside, this is funny and insightful in many ways. How to find God in 60 Days (or your meaningless' [...]
Number of comments: 4 1976 was the year of the U.S. Bicentennial. 1976 was a presidential election year. 1976 was two years after Watergate caused Nixon's resignation, and one year after the fall of Saigon. The U.S. government, both Republicans and Democrats, had never been held in such low esteem. Practically every elected official [...]
Number of comments: 1 In a press conference this week representatives of the Centers for Disease Control revealed estimates of the extent of the H1N1 Influenza pandemic that increased by several orders of magnitude from previous estimates. Can we rely on the accuracy of this information?
Number of comments: 15 Several months ago, President Barack Obama bowed and scraped before the king of Saudi Arabia. How he's at it again, bowing before the emperor of Japan.
Medicare and its myriad of problems should demonstrate that we shouldn't trust the federal government with health care. That system's problems will be multiplied exponentially if congress forces a government health care system on Americans.
We won't get health care right if we think we can do it without thinking about life itself. Science is our tool, not our master. As we sit at the brink of health care socialism, it's a good time to recall Jefferson's words that "God who gave us life gave'" [...]
