Many Governors are protecting their states by refusing to accept Syrian Refugees. (picture from Fox and Friends) South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard is not one of them. The best he seems able to do is “We have to wait and…

Is Dissent a Bigger Threat Today Than Terrorism?
Make no mistake, Europeans who stand up to the invasion of Muslim culture into their homelands are to be shunned as a greater evil than the handful of terrorists who threw Paris into a recent panic. Progressive French society will quickly reclaim its day-to-day composure, just as New Yorkers did after 9-11 or Parisians after the Charlie Hebdo attack.
You might think that in a democracy which touts freedom of speech that both sides of an issue would be welcomed. Those in power, however, don’t like to share the “truth” platform, making sure to “persistently avoid, ignore, or reject” all dissenting opinion, as the online dictionary defines the word “shun.”
Don’t expect to hear from the political right. There will be no one interviewed on television unless carefully framed as part of a “hate” group, really the same as the devils who run the Islamic State. Conservatives, as we’ve come to know them, are okay since they don’t pursue ideas very strongly into ideological realms.
With the left in charge, now is the time for compromise and a coming together on the appropriate political turf. Media-approved group hugs will be enough, especially if supported by 1960s-based songs by icons like John Lennon. In contrast, those who dare challenge the invasion of Islamic culture into Europe will be forced to share the screen with images of Adolf and Jihadi John.
It’s too bad that our soccer and football games should be interrupted by the prolonged images of carnage in Paris. Better to be immersed in the good life represented in commercials, isn’t it? Besides, wasting time thinking about really big issues is a bummer, especially when nightly news broadcasts will conveniently digest everything into a moderate point of view.
South Dakota Should Refuse Syrian Refugees
Terrorist attacks in France should be a huge warning to America. The Obama administration continues full speed ahead with plans to bring thousands of Syrians to the USA. They assure us that they are extensively vetting these immigrants. If you…
Ultimate Authority
I am always amused at the games people play when it comes to gaining power over one another. We see this best in political battles discussed by the media 24/7 in an endless cycle and we see this in warfare…
Muslims, Terrorism And France
Muslim populations are growing in France. So is Muslim violence. Murder, violence and hatred has followed the increase of Muslims in France. Now terror has visited Paris, with this killing spree which has left dead bodies and wounded victims strewn…
Support Your Local Wheel Tax
Pennington County needs more of your money, right?? WRONG! The wheel tax which was passed by the County Commission has been referred by citizens to a public vote. That is a very good thing. Proponents argue that if you drive…
Illegals Could Elect Our Next President
“But they can’t vote”, you say… Yes they do. They have what I would call “stealth votes”. Here is how it works: The President is actually elected by the Electoral College. The allocation of these “votes” is determined by the…
Taxing The “Other Guy”
That’s a great plan… Unless you happen to be the “other guy”. Several years ago in the South Dakota State Legislature, I helped defeat a proposal that would have increased taxes on Ag producers as much as 40%. It was…
