Though the primary is behind us, the RINO hunting season in South Dakota is still on! These beasts sometimes get mixed up in the elephant herd, and when sometimes mistaken for an elephant can even lead the elephants over a cliff. The herd must be culled of RINOs as soon as possible to protect the elephant herd.

Joe Biden supposedly didn’t mean to cause a largely African-American crowd to think (envision) slavery and chains when he said, “They’re going to put y’all back in chains.” Instead, we’re supposed to believe everyone other than Biden, Obama and the Obama team/supporters just misunderstood, or took advantage of the statement, and are simply trying to make an issue out of it. Maybe that’s because there is an issue to be made.

Another robocall went out today which exposes the liberal “leadership” of the RINOs in the Republican-supermajority state House. This time, RINO leaders including Rep. David Lust and Rep. Brian Gosch were hit for raising taxes (er, “fees”), facilitating ObamaCare in South Dakota, rejecting good firearms bills, new spending, and weakening protections against rapists and pedophiles. These are problems other conservatives and I have been exposing for the past couple of years. Instead of repenting of their liberal ways and getting with the program (i.e. the GOP platform), RINOs continue to double-down in their obstinacy.

Is America descending into a dependency state, where the majority uses its voting power to demand government services from taxpayers? More than half of all Americans are dependent on state benefits, and fewer than half are paying income taxes. Has America reached a tipping point where our system of freedom and limited government will no longer work?

The Environmental Protection Agency has been a lightning rod for controversy during the Obama Administration as they have pushed the applications of the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act to their limits in seeking to control all land use across the nation. One area that hasn’t received as much scrutiny, but reeks of old-style influence peddler politics is the Agency’s escalation of sue and settle cases to change the law through federal court decree operating hand in hand with radical environmentalist groups that are willing participants in the scam.

We would be hard-pressed to find a more hellishly deceived bunch of idiots than the New Black Panther Party cult. These are the same goons who had two of their members engaged in blatant voter intimidation outside a polling place in Philadelphia during the 2008 presidential election. Now we have another story about these hoodlums. You may have heard the profanity and death threat-laden recordings of a couple of their leaders which were posted at Breitbart.com on Tuesday. It is hard for many of us to imagine that there are actually people right here in America who hold such ignorant hatred for their fellow countrymen.

Charles Finney died AUGUST 16, 1875. An attorney, Finney saw so many Scripture references in Blackstone’s Law Commentaries that he bought a Bible and came to faith. Charles Finney’s 1835 Revival Lectures inspired George Williams to found the YMCA-Young Men’s Christian Association-in 1844, and William Booth to found The Salvation Army in 1865. Charles Finney formed the Benevolent Empire, a network of volunteer organizations to aid poor with healthcare and social needs, which in 1834 had a budget rivaling the Federal Government.
