The South Dakota Republican Party unveiled a new video today highlighting yet another aspect of the close relationship between Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth Sandlin and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. The web video zeros in on a trip Congresswoman Herseth Sandlin took with Pelosi in 2007 to Greenland and Northern Europe to inspect the melting ice caps on the taxpayer dime.

Democrats are in a panic and are desperately trying to ratchet up the fear-mongering about the Tea Party to new and greater heights. Yet a new poll shows more than two-thirds of American voters agree with the core Tea Party agenda of fiscal responsibility and limited government.

Some rare color film taken after an air raid in London during World War II has been found, literally stored away for years in someone’s attic. Carolyn Keen’s grandfather was an air raid warden and filmed these scenes both as a training film and historical documentation. I used to spend hours and hours talking to [...]

The folks at Bighorn Canyon Ministries in Rapid City have launched a new blog which has the same name as their publication, On the Right Side. As the blog indicates, primary topics will include politics, the pulpit and the press.

More good news for the American people=more bad news for Democrats. The latest from Rasmussen finds that on the generic congressional ballot, Republicans have a 12-point lead over Democrats–closely matching a recent Gallup poll which found a 10-point lead for Republicans.

Back in May, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion occurred under suspicious circumstnaces. Now last Thursday another oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico has exploded, a day after a federal judge in New Orleans refused the Obama administration’s demand that he throw out a lawsuit filed by a number of oil drilling companies against the Obama administration’s moratorium on deepwater oil drilling. I don’t believe in coincidences.

Lind ruled last week that LTC Terry Lakin, MC “will be denied access to any of Obama’s records as well as any testimony from those who may have access to the records.” Lakin, a career officer and medical doctor has refused orders for a second deployment to Afghanistan on the grounds [...]

It’s interesting why behavior that we readily recognize, on an individual level, as undesirable, we routinely promote and accept as government and social policy. What rational person would suggest that being detached from reality is a good thing? But increasingly we live in an environment, created by government driven policies, in which the picture of reality we have is false.

Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-SD) has received significant campaign contributions from Speaker of the House and San Francisco liberal Nancy Pelosi’s “PAC to the Future” Political Action Committee, to the tune of $35,000 over the past several elections. This is the same PAC Pelosi has used to pay her husband and his company $100,000.

Historian David Barton takes a group of pastors on a tour of the U.S. Capitol building, citing the rich Christian heritage of America, especially as seen right inside the center of American government. Secularists with an agenda have worked hard for decades to bury and erase America’s Christian heritage, but people like Barton are determined to help Americans reclaim this nearly-lost and important aspect of our history.

The third annual Pulpit Freedom Sunday is coming on September 26, 2010. This nationwide event, also known as the Pulpit Initiative, is sponsored by the Alliance Defense Fund to promote the religious freedom America’s pastors and churches enjoyed throughout our history until it was curtailed in 1954. The IRS is caught between a rock and a hard place in trying to enforce this unconstitutional tax code provision, and freedom will eventually win out.
