To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian — George Washington, May 2, 1778, to his soldiers at Valley Forge

Concealed Carry Saves Another Life

Parsons_pistolKNBN Journalist Shad Olson recently produced this special report about Scott Parsons, a Pizza Hut delivery driver in Rapid City who was brutally attacked in 2010 by multiple assailants while delivering a pizza.

He took a pizza to a secluded trailer park north of town after 9:00 pm.  When he got to the house, he was attacked at the door. He jumped off the porch and shattered his leg.  While on the ground, three people kicked him in the head and body repeatedly. On the verge of losing consciousness, Parsons pulled out his pistol from his pocket and fired two shots. The perpetrators ran after he hit one of them.

Parsons spent weeks in the hospital after the attack. Though police found that Parsons had acted lawfully, Pizza Hut fired Parsons for violating their policy against drivers carrying firearms.

He has since found other employment at a different pizza company that doesn’t ask about  his gun.

Why do average citizens deserve to maintain their God-given right to self defense?  Why do average citizens need to concealed carry?

Not hard to figure out, is it?

‘Narcissist-in-Chief’ humiliates himself, yet again

Dr. Theo

When I saw the photo on The Drudge Report my reaction was the same as almost any other current or former member of the Armed Services—disgust. It reminded me of the Clintons who used uniformed military officers as servers to pass drinks and hors d'oeuvres at one of their White House gatherings.

Kirkeby Mailer in the Rapid City Mayoral Race

Bob Ellis

This mailer went out yesterday regarding the Rapid City mayoral race. We have an establishment "Gov. Daugaard is our supreme being" RINO Mark Kirkeby running against incumbent Mayor Sam Kooiker. Rapid City voters know what they're getting with Kooiker, since he has served them for years on the city council and now for one term as mayor. The voters also deserve to know what they would be getting with Mark Kirkeby.

Liberal Hijacking of the National Conversation

Bob Ellis

This video of Glenn Beck does some jumping around, but there is one overriding theme: the hijacking of the national conversation by the morally bankrupt Left. Please take the time to watch this, and then ask yourself some tough questions, including: "Have I been taken in by any of this? Have I let them silence me? Have I let them intimidate me from standing up for what is right?" If you don't like the answers you come up with, what are you going to do about it?

Abortion? Right move is crisis counseling, birth

Star Parker

According to pro-abortion reasoning, poor women -- desperate because of an unwanted pregnancy, pressed because regulations and costs make abortion difficult to get -- turn to sleazebag doctors who will do it cheaply, with no regard for the woman, the law or safety. But it is ironic that those who call themselves "pro-choice" argue that the only alternatives facing low-income women are unsafe abortions done by sleazebags or government-subsidized abortions. There is another choice, but those who call themselves don't want women, particularly poor women, to consider it. This option is called birth.

Rep. Kelly Rakes IRS Officials Over the Coals

Bob Ellis

This is a very interesting and telling interview from Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) of IRS Commissioner Steven Miller over the Obama Administration scandal involving IRS harassment of Tea Party and other conservative groups. I don't know why Kelly isn't trying to extend an olive branch. Why isn't he trying to find common ground? Why isn't he trying to persuade this guy to see things his way? Why is he being so mean?

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964
