The Democrats are furious and the Hollyweird folks are indignant calling Clint Eastwood’s performance at the 2012 Republican National Convention a “disgrace,” adding that it was bizarre and disconnected. Exactly! I didn’t see it as clearly last night, but watching the video again today it became obvious. Dirty Harry was acting.

In a way, I am speechless. I am left with the demanding question; How did this happen? How did supposedly educated citizens in a prosperous nation succumb to another silver-tongued con artist? Especially when his bold intention of “fundamentally changing” America was bellowed ad nauseam? Besides, what’s so wrong with our freedoms and opportunities?

One thing that has really frosted many of our Tea Party pumpkins was not having Sarah speak at the RNC Establishment Convention. I just saw on the Drudge Report that the TV rating for this RNC convention are way down… like 41% down with out Sarah Palin! Sarah has been so key in rallying Americans and these TV ratings speaks volumes to her being rejected.

The American Civil War was not inevitable. Would that this war had never been fought. You may certainly disagree. The bloom came off of the rose of the “Glorious War” shortly after the 1st Battle of Bull Run. A second Civil War might or might not settle political today’s arguments, but at what cost? It would most certainly kill off a generation of young Americans. It seems to me that we may be carelessly approaching such an impasse in America … if we do not heed history.

Imprisoned twelve years for preaching without a license from the King, he wrote Pilgrim’s Progress, an allegory of a man named Christian fleeing the City of Destruction and directed by Evangelist to follow a narrow path to the City of Zion. The friends and dangers he meets along the way inspired the modern story Wizard of Oz. This classic was written by John Bunyan, who died AUGUST 31, 1688. It was translated into over a hundred languages and found in nearly every colonial American home.

The economic news continues its grim march toward a reality that many believe may not be in the fixable category. But are these truths so devastating that our nation’s economy cannot recover, and Americans should just accept ever dwindling expectations and lifestyles? Not if we choose to get control over our budget now. If Representative Paul Ryan’s budget was followed for the next decade, the debt to GDP ratio would fall to 88 percent within ten years, and this is with relatively modest economic growth projections.

When the Obama Administration’s Ministry of Public Enlightenment (aka the “mainstream” media) decided to “fact check” Dinesh D’Souza’s “2016: Obama’s America” film recently, you had to know it was nothing but the latest effort to whitewash this Marxist president’s dismal record, right? You were right.

One of America’s greatest generals for capturing Fort Ticonderoga with Ethan Allen and leading the charge at Saratoga, he felt unappreciated, so AUGUST 30, 1780, General Benedict Arnold conspired with British General Clinton to surrender West Point for 20,000 pounds, equivalent to one million dollars today.

“Republican” Rep. Brian Gosch of Rapid City is one of the problems we have in the South Dakota Legislature. He is one of the liberal or ineffectual (take your pick, or take both) “Republican” “leaders” in the legislature who has seen quite a few textbook-Republican bills killed in committee or on the House floor on his watch. This mailer, which I received today, exposes his contemptuous votes for restrictions on Second Amendment rights.

In 2009, I could be Silent, No More! I joined the TEA Party in reaction to a run-away federal government. Now we are faced with a national election in 2012. This will be a referendum on whether we should endorse a fundamental transformation to slowly evolve into a mythical socialist utopia, or to reject this transformation to return to our original intent of a capitalist free market that rewards individual freedom and innovation. I offer my personal TEA Party Manifesto as a blueprint for change to the next administration.
