I received a call this morning from Black Hills Fox, the local Fox affiliate here in Rapid City, informing me that the Southern Poverty Law Center, a Leftist hate group, had listed Dakota Voice as a “hate group.” Apparently these liberal hate-mongers have a new list out which claims groups that support traditional American values, er, “hate groups” are on the rise. Dakota Voice has now officially joined the ranks of “hate” groups like the American Family Association, Jihad Watch, and the Constitution Party.

There is a move afoot in this country to get rid of the electoral college system our founders set up for presidential elections. The move to replace the electoral college with the National Popular Vote is moving across America, having been adopted in a number of states already. The electoral college not only protects smaller states from losing their voice to the bigger ones, it helps maintain the principle of federalism.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is really nothing short of an instrument of tyranny. As I wrote about some time back, Chantell and Michael Sackett bought some land and were proceeding to build their dream house…when fascists from the EPA came in and shut them down. The reason? They were supposedly building on some ephemeral “wetland.”

A friend shared this via Facebook, and it was too good, too apt, too illustrative, too educational, too fitting, too apropos, too descriptive, too educational not to pass on to our readers.

We see the stunning hypocrisy of the Left on display daily. The latest, biggest example is the Left’s completely made-up, nonexistent “war on women.” Those on the Left are desperate to convince the American people that Republicans hate women—a stupidly false accusation that reeks of the Left’s desperation. Oh, they’re certainly desperate. The criminal, unconstitutional behavior of Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) has proven to be an amazing wake-up call to millions of sleeping Americans, and we are staying wide awake.

An unwary public is easy prey for those who would manipulate public opinion. It goes beyond biased reporting, or stories that remain unreported. An outright lie is usually only effective for the short-term. Eventually, when people discover it’s a lie, everyone knows it, and it’s no longer an effective issue. But disinformation is much more diabolical.

This is one of the many reasons our unconstitutional welfare system needs to be abandoned to return to the system of private charity we had for most of our history in the United States. Amanda Clayton in Lincoln Park, Michigan was on welfare when she won $1 million in the lottery. Yet she is still on welfare, and considers herself deserving of the earnings of other people.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, who wrote a poem about the USS Constitution, was father to Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., was born MARCH 8, 1841. A graduate of Harvard, he fought in the Civil War, edited the American Law Review and was a Harvard Law professor before becoming Chief Justice of Massachusetts’ Supreme Court. In 1902, Theodore Roosevelt appointed Holmes to the U.S. Supreme Court.
