"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 |

Illegal immigration in the United States is estimated to cost the American taxpayers over $110 BILLION a year. The illegal alien population in our country is estimated at around 40 million people. Most illegal aliens are using at least one welfare program, and nearly one-third are using two or more. A study by the American Academy of Sciences found that illegal aliens working in the United States had resulted in a 44% drop in wages for the poorest of American citizens. Studies have found that 80% of illegal aliens have committed serious crimes in addition to their immigration-related crimes and 40% have committed violent crimes.
In addition to having our sovereignty violated, our laws broken, our jobs taken and our taxes used, we have serious problems pouring across our borders…and yet our federal government refuses to do anything about it. One area of Arizona is so dangerous that signs have been posted to warn law-abiding citizens not to go there (apparently this is easier than dealing with the problem). We also know Middle Eastern Muslims are sneaking across the border; how soon until they engineer another 911?
While amnesty programs (and de facto amnesty where we refuse to enforce our own immigration law) invite more lawbreakers to reap the fruits of American laziness, enforcement of existing laws (or even the threat of enforcing existing laws) has shown it will send illegal aliens scrambling.
Though we are far from the southern border where most of our problem is, South Dakota is also far from immune from its effects. For decades we have had problems with illegal aliens living and working in South Dakota. Just last year, Huron Police Chief Doug Schmitt spoke out about the large number of illegal aliens employed by area businesses. Instead of being commended, illegal alien apologists snatched his badge.
Last year, the South Dakota Legislature had an opportunity to begin doing what our federal government REFUSES to do (enforce our own laws), but instead the Republican-led body chose to allow itself to be led around by the nose by bleeding-heart liberal interests that are quite happy to provide some fresh Democrat voters from south of the border. Instead of acting in defense of South Dakota and her citizens, some in the legislature chose instead to vilify and allow others to vilify the sponsor of a bill to deal with illegal immigration. The “Republican” controlled committee shot down bills to control illegal immigration not once but twice last year. With “Republicans” like this, who needs Democrats?
This year, the South Dakota Legislature has more opportunities to deal with the problem of illegal immigration. HB 1238 would “establish sanctions relating to the hiring of illegal aliens.” SB 155 would “prohibit the employment of unauthorized aliens and to provide penalties therefor.”
Will the “Republicans” who control the South Dakota Legislature with a supermajority choose to vote like Republicans this year? Based on last year’s record, the only hope we have of seeing that happen will be if you, the people of South Dakota, hold their feet to the fire and let them know you expect them to act like Republicans and defend the interests of the taxpayers.

I love Dennis Miller. He isn't as conservative as I'd like, but we see eye to eye on most of the important stuff. His appearance on Bill O'Reilly's show was pretty good, until he got to the discussion of the nutty idea of gender-neutral bathrooms, then it became hilarious. I normally try to steer clear of scatological humor, but if we're going to go down this asinine path as a society (as it seems the homosexual activists and their "useful idiots" seem intent on taking us), then there are some serious (though funny at times) issues we really need to consider.
The United States of America can't do much worse than Obama. That said, whether you vote Democrat or Republican, you are voting for politics as usual. What we've been getting for a long, long time is lip service, empty words, just plain lies; thinking we can save the whole world, spending irresponsibly beyond our means; no accountability to ethics, the law or the Constitution; government intrusion into every aspect of our private lives… politics as usual. Politics as usual will be the death of America.
The wind energy industry has been having a hard time. The taxpayer funding that has kept it alive for the last twenty years is coming to an end, and those promoting the industry are panicking. Despite twenty years of taxpayer funding, says the Financial Times, “Most of these technologies are unable to stand on their own commercially, particularly in competition with a resurgent natural gas industry that has created a supply glut and driven prices to 10-year lows.” The WSJ opines: “the tax subsidy has sustained the industry on a scale that wouldn’t have been possible if they had to follow the same rules as everyone else.”
What better way to control citizens of a country than to control the water supply? What better way to control the countries of the world than to control the seas? We have two stories in our face this week that are seemingly unrelated, yet at the same time, they both represent the anti-American, anti-freedom, dictatorial advancement of tyranny. A nation’s water supply is one thing, and the seas and oceans of the world are another.
While we can't take back how things played out with the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman encounter or anything that led up to those final moments of life-death changing events, we do have a responsibility of calling the media, our president, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Black Panthers and a few others to account for their irresponsible responses, reporting and race baiting behavior thereafter. Turns out that, Zimmerman, the "white Hispanic", is not only nearly as Black in heritage as our president, if not completely so -- he was raised under the influence of a half-black grandmother, rather than, a white grandma as Obama was.
