Things have gotten so Orwellian in South Dakota that it’s impossible for the average citizen to have a good grasp of what’s going on. We have “Republicans” backing Democrats in the election, “Republicans” voting like Democrats, “Republicans” acting like Democrats, and now we even have Democrats acting like Republicans and trying to pass themselves off as the “real conservative” in their respective races. This is what you get when certain Republicans won’t stand for Republican values.

South Dakota Secretary of State Jason Gant wants to warn all voters to be cautious about recent mailings from outside groups detailing where your polling place is on Election Day. Numerous complaints from across the state regarding mailers informing voters of incorrect voting locations have been received by Secretary of State’s office.

For Veterans’ Day, the Black Hills Veterans Writing Group will remember the World War II Campaign in North Africa at its meeting on Saturday, November 10th, 9-11 am, at Western Dakota Technical Institute. The main speaker will be Andreas Gronemann of Rapid City who grew up in Berlin. He will tell the story of his grandfather who served in the Afrika Korps.

Mitt Romney may not be a whole lot for a conservative to vote for…but you darn sure have a whole lot to vote AGAINST from Barack Obama. This little video provides an excellent recap of the multitude of reasons why we need to rid this anti-American Marxist big spender from the United States government.

Tuesday is the day we shall learn whether we are on a course of complete destruction or the chance of reconstruction. One part of me wishes for the results to be in — to know the fate set into motion — while the other part fears what the outcome might be. This world, after all, has turned into an unpredictable and crazy one. There is no rhyme or reason left to rely upon. Little adds up and seldom does it ever when it comes to the rulers of our country. Yes… rulers. We do, however, have our vote! I’ll use my wisely on Tuesday!

Obama has repeatedly lied. Do enough people know or care?

War on Women? Do enough women get it? Do enough realize that it is Obama & Playmates that are taking them back to being nothing more than their sex organs — not the Republicans trying to do so?

Do enough people realize they are being played or are they simply just too in awe of their leader of spin and deceit?

There are no guarantees as to what Tuesday will bring, though there is an absolute of what the results should be. Romney should win. He has a proven track record of success. He doesn’t have to always have his way. He has a proven record of working with both Democrats and Republicans to try and find the best possible solution to any given problem.

What does Obama have? A good golf score and Hollywood pals? How about a record of going around Congress and stirring up racial and gender and class warfare?

Oh… and as for that promised transparency… how much of it has been seen?

We have Fast & Furious and the Executive Order to protect whomever!

We have Libya with four dead and so many different stories it appears no one can keep straight what the latest one is.

We have a great many things that aren’t right.

We do, however, have our vote! I’ll use my wisely on Tuesday! Please use yours wisely as well!

This week we get to revisit that national choice, and cast our votes not just for a candidate, but also on that false mentality about race. We can again accept the liberal lie that blacks can’t measure up to the same standards as everyone else, or we can once and for all reject that insidious form of racism and simply hold President Obama to the same standards by which we judge any other sitting president. President Obama has had four years to deliver on his rhetoric and promises; let’s just judge him on that.

Many Obama supporters from 2008 uniformly pleaded innocence as to his hidden socialistic nature. However, Obama’s present day throngs now assemble without such flimsy and/or irresponsible pretenses. Today, his support is for a platform which is diabolically un-American. Today, there are no excuses of ignorance or good intentions. Today, his platform of revolution is out for all to see.

The presidential election should be settled by a single question: “Who caused the financial crisis of 2008?” The only thing worse than Big Government acting on its own is Big Government acting with crony capitalism to override the consequences of the free market. Barack Obama and the Democrat Party cannot fix meddlesome regulation with even more regulation. Don’t vote for his reelection even if that means you must vote for Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate.

Today history holds its breath to see if the descendants of the pioneers, the children of the Revolution have become so addicted to the Progressive’s entitlement culture that they will vote to abandon the freedom which is their heritage and forge their own chains of dependency. Reject the siren song of free stuff and vote for freedom. In 2008, America voted for Obama and change. In 2012, vote for Mitt Romney and change it back!
