Is South Dakota in Cultural Orbit of Sanctuary City Denver?

“I think our governments will remain virtuous for many centuries as long as they are chiefly agricultural; and this will be as long as there shall be vacant lands in any part of America,” foresaw Founding Father President Thomas Jefferson. “When they get piled upon one another in large cities as in Europe, they will become corrupt as in Europe.”

Even more true today than then, Jefferson’s insight has universally stood the test of time. Big cities need more menial laborers, illegal or not. Before long, they will turn to welfare, then stop wanting to work. No problem, since there are plenty more desperate people around the Third World.

Besides, the Democratic Party can count on all such welfare-based voting blocks. Then send them all to college, not to learn, but as a finishing school for the leftist world order. The largest cities own the media pipelines of liberal values. Handfuls of unknown television station owners decide what social values should be foisted upon viewers in rural areas, every day, all day long, without reprieve.

New York City, Denver, Los Angeles, and Chicago are cultural fifth columns inside an otherwise conservative nation. In Colorado, Denver alone dominates the rest of the population. By political design. Samuel Johnson long ago reminded us that “Poverty has, in large cities, very different appearances; it is often concealed in splendor, and often in extravagance.” Even Ralph Waldo Emerson hit the truth exactly when he observed that “In our large cities, the population is godless, materialized,–no bond, no fellow-feeling, no enthusiasm. These are not men, but hungers, thirsts, fevers, and appetites walking. How is it people manage to live on,–so aimless as they are?” He would be ashamed of Boston today.

Take a few minutes to watch the Vimeo video Rocky Mountain Heist to find out how such takeovers have been successful. Legalizing pot was the perfect strategy: keep the people sedated and entertained, tell them what to think and how to feel, then make sure they can find their way to the voting booth. Rooting for the Denver Broncos and the Rockies is the same. Mindless entertainment like pot, without any moral redemption. A perverse and unearned sense of community. Even George Washington himself knew that “The tumultuous populace of large cities are ever to be dreaded.”

“I believe the social experiment our nation is conducting with highly potent legal weed will end poorly,” warns South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. That she also comes “from a farming and ranching family” gives her a double sense of duty: “we need leaders willing to stand up and say, ‘No.’”

Rapid City and Sioux Falls serve as conduits of urban liberalism coming from Sanctuary Cities across America, but President Trump now offers a political counterbalance that wasn’t there before. Governor Noem is by his side. She might even whimsically agree with English literary critic Cyril Connolly that “No city should be too large for a man to walk out of in a morning.”
