I can’t support Newt Gingrich for president with a wishy-washy record like his, but he deserves credit where credit is due. He is very good at keeping the focus where it belongs (on President Obama, and on the media lapdogs who support him) and defending even his fellow Republican competitors in the face of the real and greater threat.
During last night’s debate (thank God, is this really the last one?), Gingrich pointed out that the “mainstream” media’s hysteria over contraception and Rick Santorum’s personal opinion of it is laughably hypocritical, especially when you consider that the “mainstream” media just didn’t want to know when it came to Barack Obama’s vociferous support of infanticide in 2008.
No, unless you were following the election very closely in 2008, you probably never even heard about Illinois State Senator Barack Obama’s vehement support of infanticide.
Did you know that sometimes children survive attempts to kill them in their mother’s womb? Yes, they do. In fact, one such survivor is now a speaker on the pro-life circuit.
You would think that, even if a person could bring themselves to kill an innocent human being in the womb, so long as they didn’t have to face their victim, at least once that child was outside the womb staring them in the face, they would be able to summon the decency to protect the child’s life.
Not Barack Obama. And not the killers he supported during his time in the Illinois Senate.
Obama argued vehemently against legislation that would have forced care givers (notice the irony there?) to render life-saving aid to a child who survived an abortion attempt. You see, many children who survive attempts to kill them in the womb are simply put aside–often in a broom closet or such–and left there to slowly die.
Sound barbaric? Sound brutally cold? It should.
Yet the man sitting in the White House strongly supported this callous, inhuman treatment of innocent human life.
And the “watchdog” media? They didn’t want to know in 2008. They still don’t want to know.
But given an opportunity to mock and ridicule someone for placing value on innocent human life? They’re there with bells on.
Thanks, Newt, for standing with Santorum on this issue and for once again exposing these Leftist propaganda artists who try to pass themselves off as journalists.

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.
In testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, outgoing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Steven Miller’s suggested that the targeting of tea party and other groups was in part caused by Congress’ failure to provide “clear rules” on what constitutes political activity. But those rules are already clear, Americans for Limited Government President Nathan Mehrens noted.

"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 |
