She may be a Leftist who advocates lawlessness, the Balkanization of America, and undermines our national sovereignty and national security, but at least this liberal gets it-unlike a lot of weak-kneed “Republicans” who don’t have what it takes to stand against liberals and liberalism.

In contrast to the kind of “Republicans” who don’t think law-abiding citizens can be fully trusted with their guns, who think innocent human life is of subjective value, and think the family is the plaything of liberal activists, South Dakota Dist. 35 House candidates Don Kopp and Chip Campbell provide us with an illustration of what real Republicans look like.

Yet another RINO is exposed via mailer in response to “Republican” Governor Dennis Daugaard’s decision to go partisan in the Republican primary and endorse several liberals who show contempt for the Republican Party’s values and platform. It used to be that only Democrats tried to hide their voting record. Now many “Republicans” seem desperate to hide their voting record. Maybe that is because these “Republicans” behavior has too much in common with the Democrats.

U.S. Representative Artur Davis seconded the nomination of Barack Obama for president in 2008 at the Democratic Party convention in Denver, Colorado. Now, almost four years later, Davis has left the Party of Obama, Pelosi and Schumer telling the Daily Caller that if he were to run for office again it would be as a Republican in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In a letter by Davis announcing his switch, he attributes it to, “an agenda that would punish businesses and job creators with more taxes… I have taken issue with an administration that has lapsed into a bloc by bloc appeal to group grievances when the country is already too fractured. [F]aith institutions should not be compelled to violate their teachings because faith is a freedom.”

Here we have another return salvo in the RINO “Republican” war on the conservative base of the party. If our supposedly pro-life, conservative governor wants to run around endorsing liberal pro-abortion, pro-homosexual “Republicans” in the primary over real Republicans who believe in the party’s values and platform, I suppose no one can stop him. But the Republicans in these districts deserve to know that the values of their party are being betrayed by their governor and most of those whom he is endorsing.

How can we ever be surprised at anything that comes out of the mouth of Barack Obama (or whatever his name is)?  Yet, his latest, gaffe almost leaves me speechless.  Almost.  At a ceremony at the White House on Tuesday where Obama was awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the late Jan Karski, a Polish officer of the resistance during World War II who gave early eyewitness reports of Nazi Germany’s genocide of European Jews, our president made a gaffe that was offensive toward Poland.

Election choices are so poor that I am not surprised so few Americans even bother to vote each November. Democrats are so disappointing as they continue to chip away at our underlying American culture and values in pursuit of their socialist nirvana. Republicans are also disappointing since they talk a good game but, when push comes to shove, they too incrementally expand government but at a slower pace.

In his Memorial Day Address, MAY 31, 1923, President Calvin Coolidge said: Settlers came here from mixed motives…Generally defined, they were seeking a broader freedom. They were intent upon establishing a Christian commonwealth in accordance to the principle of self-government…It has been said that God sifted the nations that He might send choice grain into the wilderness.”
