Open pit coal mining at the Eagle Butte Mine north of Gillette, Wyoming
I think we’d all like to be able to generate electricity using a method that is completely clean and has absolutely zero unpleasant byproducts.
However, since we have thus far not even come close to finding a way to squat down and push out such a method, grownups realize that coal and oil are the only viable energy sources for the foreseeable future. I say “grownups” because liberals (who still live in the fantasy world primarily appropriate for kindergartener) continue to insist we can just “wishful think” efficient windmills and solar panels into existence that will meet all our modern electrical needs.
Or we could go back to the 19th Century and do all of our evening reading by the light of candles and kerosene lamps. Somehow, I don’t imagine the Twitter-addicted, texting American Idol-watching liberals would really care for that, either.
Let’s all be grownups and face reality: coal produces more than half of our electricity in America, and it does so pretty cleanly. I lived very near to several big power plants when I lived in Nebraska, and you’ll see lots more traveling across Wyoming. Somehow, the air is never the filthy thing liberals would have us believe it is. A lot of our nation’s coal is mined in Wyoming, too.
In these videos from GBTV, you’ll see what things would look like if Obama got his wish and bankrupted the coal industry. Coal costs 4 cents a kilowatt-hour to produce, but Obama’s fanciful environmentalist methods cost 22 cents per kilowatt-hour to produce. If you’d like America to be a Third World country, Obama’s plan is definitely the way to go.
He and his environmentalist friends seek to make America a Third World country (we’re too big for our britches, remember?) through asinine environmentalist regulations that do nothing positive for the environment but serve only to harass business.
So let’s make war on people like Barack Obama and his fellow Leftists who have made war on our nation’s primary energy source, and remove these people from any opportunity to influence our nation’s prosperity and economy.

Forces antagonistic to religion dominate our courtrooms, our classrooms, and that most potent platform of public influence, the entertainment industry. Stridently ideological and convinced that the forces of reason and progress are on their side, these secular shapers of culture will not be satisfied until every last vestige of religious influence is exorcised from the public square. These individuals reject the fact that the Christian religion played an integral role in the shaping of America's political traditions and the spirit of liberty and equality that is unique among nations.
As Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Spock were always fond of noting, when attempting to unravel a whodunit, a useful postulate is: “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” Point in case is the targeting by multiple government departments and agencies at the federal and state level, by elected officials, and by Democrat Party organizations of Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring honest elections and ballot integrity by targeting voter fraud.
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.

"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 |
