As reported by The Right Side, former South Dakota State Senator Bill Napoli from my district is apparently throwing his hat in the ring for the 2014 United States Senate race next year. There have been a number of names thrown around so far-including Congresswoman Kristi Noem and South Dakota Representative Stace Nelson-but until now, the only “Republican” who had announced was former governor RINO Mike Rounds. That seems to have changed now-and changed big, with the entry of a real conservative who has demonstrated commitment to Republican values and goals.

Thomas Sowell’s recent column on “Immigration Sophistry” is a must-read-especially for “Republicans” who have allowed themselves to be duped by the illogical and inconsistent crap that passes for an argument from the Left.

President Obama’s understanding of financial planning is fundamentally flawed. In his latest budget, the chief executive proposed a cap on tax-preferred retirement accounts. An individual’s total balance could not accumulate over $3 million. This total would include the sum balances of a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, 401(k) and defined contribution plans. No legislation should inhibit individuals from taking care of their own retirement.

He only said what many clear-minded Americans likely think about our federal government’s dangerously stupid Middle Eastern visa and immigration policies, but boy did it get the leftist, Islamophile drones riled up!

Why is the world such a mess? Why do so many bad things happen? Why is there so much suffering? These questions may be especially compelling in light of the assertions by Christians that God created the world. How could an all-powerful , good God create such a rotten place?
