In the third hour of the Rush Limbaugh Show today, the host gave us today’s Quote of the Day. A female caller was talking about how the Left routinely calls women who choose to be a housewife and/or stay-at-home mother “stupid” or “ignorant” and “it’s as if you suddenly lost all of your intelligence.” She said that she could not believe that people who really believe in women could stand by and let this happen. Rush then explained what feminism is really all about.

The South Dakota Department of Transportation, in collaboration with Pennington County, will hold public open houses as part of the Connecting Hills and Plains Study (CHAPS) to gather public input for help in developing the Pennington County Master Transportation Plan.

Richard Viguerie’s latest really nails what is going on in the Republican Party and how the party establishment was Hell-bent on shoving a liberal RINO down our throats while demonizing any candidate who even came close to authentically representing Republican values.

The Helpline Center released its 2011 Community Trends report today, providing insight into the needs of area residents and the ability of local organizations to help meet those needs.

How to explain to “the man on the street” that a candidate challenging the leader drops out while two other non factors remain undaunted? I mean, Senator Santorum, with 281 delegates and with the Pennsylvania primary just two weeks away, concedes to a “leader” who has averaged only 41% support. Meanwhile, Gingrich vows to continue to the convention while amassing a meager 135 delegates. How can that be satisfactorily explained?

It is a well-known fact that young people really know what’s happening, while old people are lost in a time-warp of their past. For example, take the issue of “gay” marriage. The au courant generation bases its position on the assumption that refusing to recognize same-sex marriage is a denial of equal rights, while those of us steeped in traditional morals make the assumption that homosexuality is a sin and that marriage is designed for the propagation of children and the inculcation of values that hold society together. So, how does society connect two such divergent life views? How do we communicate?

We are still seeing the most ridiculous reaction to the killing in Florida of the black teenager, Trayvon Martin, by the neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, who claims to have been acting in self-defense. The disgusting overreaction by race-baiting black leaders is grossly irrational, because these people are calling for violence and working their followers up into a senseless frenzy over this single incident of what does appear to be legitimate self-defense by Zimmerman, while at the same time they ignore the epidemic scourge of black on black murders that plagues this nation.

On April 10, 2012, I received a note and medical bill from a senior citizen client of this insurance agency. The 81 year old woman is from Hammond, Indiana.
