It’s good to see people of faith finally ready and willing to go to the mat to defend their faith.
The things Christians compromised, capitulated and caved on in the 50-year war on Christianity in America have been many, but it seems that in demanding religious organizations provide contraceptives and abortifacients in their health care programs, the Obama Administration has finally piled on the straw that broke the camel’s back.
As you may have heard, Priests for Life has filed a lawsuit against the federal government for trampling religious freedom, and so has the Catholic television network EWTN.
In this video, Tim Dowey, president of Ave Maria University, says unequivocally that not only will his organization fight the government on this, “Ave Maria University…will not comply with it.”
Now that’s the kind of guts ALL who call upon the name of Christ need! None of this,”Well, I’ll call myself a Christian until it costs me something” or “I’ll say I’m a Christian until it becomes inconvenient” or “I’ll call myself a Christian but drop the teachings of my God like a used gum wrapper when the culture tells me to.”
This should be a lesson to all Christians (as well as everyone who cherishes the traditional values of our country. When you start to compromise, you’ll eventually end up with your back against the wall…so you might as well stand on principle to begin with, so you can maintain your full freedom.

South Dakota state legislators Representatives Stace Nelson (R-Fulton), Manny Steele (R-Sioux Falls), “Chip” Campbell (R-Rapid City), Don Kopp (R-Rapid City), Liz May(R-Kyle), Lance Russell (R-Hot Springs), and Senators Tim Begalka (R-Clear Lake), and Phil Jensen (R-Rapid City), join together to express deep concerns and opposition to the wide spread amnesty for illegal aliens proposed in US Senate Bill 744 being considered by Congress.
We have not forgotten the 2007 McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill that was killed in the face of intense outrage from the American people. This administration has engaged in criminal conduct by granting amnesty through presidential edict to certain illegal aliens. If we were outraged back in 2007 at the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill, we are now outraged to the hundredth power at the latest attempt by Congress to shove amnesty for illegal aliens down our throats.
South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard announced today that he will appoint Vern Larson of Vivian as Commissioner of School and Public Lands. Last month, Commissioner Jarrod Johnson resigned from office, effective Aug. 15. The Governor’s appointment of Larson will be effective at the same time.
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley today released the testing results of the ignition interlock devices. The devices were added to the 24/7 Sobriety Program in October of 2012. Since being added, 119 participants passed 124,771 tests with a pass rate of 99.5%.
Just in time for Memorial Day, we’re being treated to a generous serving of praise and grandstanding by politicians, corporations and others with similarly self-serving motives eager to go on record as being pro-military. We erect monuments for those who die while serving in the military, yet for those who return home, there’s little honor to be found. Making matters worse, thanks to Operation Vigilant Eagle, a program launched by the Department of Homeland Security in 2009, military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are also being characterized as extremists and potential domestic terrorist threats.

"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 |
