President Reagan famously observed that, “the nine most dangerous words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” This is a warning worth keeping in mind when logging onto the website of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and immediately encountering in large letters, “We’re on your side.”

South Dakota held its Republican primary election yesterday. Though there were some disappointments, overall, South Dakota conservatives did pretty well in yesterday’s 2016 primary election. And there was a striking message in the presidential primary results, as well.

Now that we’re stuck with the ugly choice of Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, we’re long overdue for a chat about just how easily this mess could have been avoided. Shocking though it may be that such a cartoonishly unqualified and un-conservative figure could sweep the Republican nomination, it was inevitable that the mistakes and blind spots that establishmentarians and conservatives allowed to fester for years would eventually blow up in our faces.

Those who deny the existence of their Creator are delusional. This is not an insult. It’s not a personal attack. It’s not a pejorative. It’s a fact. After watching “The Atheist Delusion,” viewers will be left no more wiggle room as to the undeniable question of God’s existence. All that remains will be to either love Him – or continue hating Him.
