“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!” – Samuel Adams

Dakota Voice Week in Review, Ending Jan. 2, 2010

These are the top 10 articles the readers thought were the best of the best at Dakota Voice last week. These are the ones more people read than any other.

In case you missed one, or you just want to peruse one again, this is your chance!

Rush Limbaugh Rushed to Hospital, In Serious Condition – Various media outlets are reporting radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been rushed to the hospital via ambulance in Honolulu, Hawaii where he was vacationing. Reports say he is in “serious” condition. And the “tolerant” liberals on the Left are ecstatic with joy.

Top 50 Articles of 2009 – As we take one final look back on the almost defunct year of 2009, these are the top 50 articles at Dakota Voice during the year, based on the number of hits they received. Some continued to receive thousands of hits months after they were published, and are relevant and informative even today. Take a walk with us down memory lane as we take one final look back at the events and issues of 2009.

What is the Cause of Meaning? – Ravi Zacharias has been doing a series on “Is There Not a Cause?” which deals with purpose and meaning. If you enjoy thinking, check it out.

Opposition to Govt Health Care Bill Locked In – Well, now that both the U.S. House and Senate have passed the unconstitutional government health care bill, the American people are resigned to it and most Americans are now behind it. Right? Ah, no. Not even close.

Napolitano’s Comments Were Taken in Context With Administration Stance on Defense – The problem isn’t that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano‘s comments about the Detroit airline terrorist and how “the system worked” were taken out of context. Sadly, her comments were taken in context with this administration’s naive approach to defense, and that’s a scary thought.

Nelson Feels the Heat on Health Care Sell-out – It’s a good thing Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) doesn’t have to face the voters for another three years. The latest poll after his sell-out vote on government health care shows he’d be toast in 2010. Will the voters remember in 2012 when he’s next up for re-election? I’d bank on it.

New Study: No Rise in Carbon Dioxide Fraction – A new study finds there has been no rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide fraction in the past 160 years–you know: since the beginning of the industrial revolution.

Time to replace Napolitano – The botched terrorist effort on Christmas was a gift to the 300 innocent passengers on that plane and a gift to America. But it was also a potential political gift to Obama, and the right move now is finding and installing a qualified Homeland Security secretary.

Senators Stick it to the States – Every U.S. Senator who voted for the health care reform bill stuck every state in the Union with a big bill that no state needs right now during a recession and falling revenues.

2010 Looks Shaky for Rep. Herseth Sandlin – The Rapid City Journal reports that for all Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin‘s fence-straddling votes, her seat in congress in 2010 is far less than secure. Liberals as well as conservatives are upset with her, but many South Dakotans are realizing it would be better to have a rep they can trust to do the right thing, rather than one they have to pressure and watch like a hawk.

Thank you, Faithful Readers, for making these the best of the best last week!
