As you may know, “Republican” Governor Dennis Daugaard recently upped the ante in the war the RINO GOP establishment has declared on the Republican base and those who consider Republican values important.
Daugaard endorsed a number of Republican legislative primary candidates over another Republican, something that is rarely if ever done. Not only did he pick sides in a primary (when Party officials normally remain nonpartisan), in most cases he picked the most liberal of the two candidates-the candidate that least represents Republican values.
There are a number of reasons that I and other life-long Republicans are outraged at the latest actions of the governor. We normally expect high officials to remain nonpartisan in contested primary races. We expect party officials (and Daugaard is a member of the Republican Party Central Committee) to remain nonpartisan. We would expect a highly prominent member of the Republican Party to uphold the highest standards of Republican values and the party platform-not endorse candidates who make a mockery of said values and platform. We would expect a Republican governor who claims to be pro-life to realize how important that issue is, and nor endorse candidates who have shown disdain for protecting innocent human life. We would expect a Republican governor who claims to recognize the importance of the family to realize how critical this issue is, and not endorse an agent of the homosexual agenda. We would also expect a Republican governor to do everything he could to fight unconstitutional assaults on our liberty (e.g. ObamaCare), and not facilitate or pave the way for such affronts in our state-and we would not expect him to endorse those who would.
The ad below appeared in the Rapid City Journal today. If you agree that Gov. Daugaard’s actions are reprehensible or out of line, please send this ad to Gov. Daugaard as a simple way to let him know you are watching…and that you are not pleased.

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 |
