In contrast to the kind of “Republicans” who don’t think law-abiding citizens can be fully trusted with their guns, who think innocent human life is of subjective value, and think the family is the plaything of liberal activists, South Dakota Dist. 35 House candidates Don Kopp and Chip Campbell provide us with an illustration of what real Republicans look like.
These are the kind of Republicans who know what they believe and why they believe it, and won’t, like immature teenagers obsessed with what the “in” kids think of them, cave in to peer pressure and the call of the herd. Instead, they believe in Republican values and principles (which is why they joined the Republican Party, not just because they knew they couldn’t get elected with a “D” after their name).
Kopp and Campbell are the kind of candidates “Republican” Governor Dennis Daugaard should have endorsed if he wanted to show he believes in the principles of his party more than political expediency.

So Says His Lordship
Tensions have always been high in the Middle East, but within the last year we have seen an increasing presence of Russian influence and involvement. Russia has always been behind the scenes stirring the pot, but of late they have been showing their hand quite openly, especially in Syria. My dear friends that presence and movement is all heading to somewhere very soon
Indians along the Delaware River called themselves "Lenape," meaning in Algonquin "the people," and were in three clans: Turtle, Wolf and Turkey. William Penn, called "Miquon" meaning quill, made a peace treaty with Tamanend, chief of the Turtle clan, on JUNE 23, 1683, under an elm tree in what was to become Philadelphia. The Peace Treaty with the peaceful Quakers lasted over 70 years.
Education is one area where blacks realize they need freedom from government control. The chronic failure of public schools to notably improve dismal test scores and high dropout rates of black children has made it clear to many black citizens of good will that there has got to be a better way. The Republican Party is supposed to be the party of freedom and limited government. Nowhere are these principles more needed than in education, and no community needs it more than blacks.At a time when our country and our poor communities are hurting so badly, any failure of leadership by those in the party of Lincoln is inexcusable.
Once called the American Association of Retired Persons, the AARP is the largest grassroots organization nationwide with over 38 million members. The organization is incredibly politically active. Since 2007, AARP board members have given almost exclusively to Democrats, with more than 97 percent of donations going to Democrat candidates and left-leaning causes, totaling over $22,000. None was given to Republican candidates during that time.
Politichicks talks with Rev. C.L. Bryant of the new movie coming out soon "Runaway Slave." Rev. Bryant travles "a new underground railroad" in this film, as we see black Americans who are leaving the Democrat plantation of dependence, and are rejecting this bankrupt ideology.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
