Remember the viral America Rising YouTube video that came out last week? It was a powerful video, an open letter to the socialists now running our government under the banner of the Democrat Party.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s low poll numbers and comments about “Negro dialects” aren’t only hurting his chances for re-election in November, they’re hurting his son’s chances in a run for Nevada governor. Rory Reid is running third in a three-way race.

It’s simply amazing how much disinformation and ignorance there is out there on the global warming issue. Evidence continues to mount that anthropogenic global warming enthusiasts are “naked emperors” when it comes to proof for their wild-eyed hypothesis.

Believe it or not, one of the most beautiful, pristine areas in the country was labeled last week as a polluted hazard by the environmental extremists in our government. The EPA is lowering ozone standards to the point where the cleanest areas in the country can’t make the cut. The environmentalism simply has to stop before our country is destroyed.

Things are getting pretty exciting in Massachusetts where not long ago it was believed another Democrat would just waltz into the senate seat of the late Ted Kennedy. Republican Scott Brown has come from behind to lead in the polls, and he raised $1 million in one day yesterday.

You just can’t make this stuff up. Apparently some people, after watching James Cameron’s environmental tear-jerker “Avatar,” are getting depressed and suicidal. Dealing with the real world always was pretty challenging for liberals.

Journalist Brit Hume who urged Tiger Woods to “turn to the Christian faith” was right when he drew distinction between Buddhism and Christianity in terms of the concept of forgiveness and redemption, said a prominent evangelical theologian. Albert Mohler, Jr. noted that while other major religions in the world believe in a god or gods, Buddhism is a non-theistic faith.

Prosecutors against the accused killer of abortion provider Dr. George Tiller filed on Monday a motion in an attempt to keep abortion out of the trial. Prosecutors filed the motion after Sedgwick County Judge Warren Wilbert said he would consider giving the jury the option of convicting Roeder on voluntary manslaughter.

Given what we’ve seen from the Tea Party movement in the past year, the town hall meetings filled with outrage, the come-from-behind campaign of Scott Brown in Massachusetts and more, the few remaining supporters of Senator Harry Reid might want to get a fork handy, because he’s almost done.

The latest polling finds Republican Scott Brown ahead of Democrat Martha Coakley in the race for the late Ted Kennedy’s senate seat from Massachusetts. This was supposed to be a safe seat for Democrats.

If these agents of change succeed in destroying the economy and neutering the Constitution what will protect the freedom and opportunity of America? How do we save the Constitution, re-institute capitalism and stop our slide into the incentive-killing swamp of collectivism?

The Proposition 8 trial begins in a federal court in San Francisco Monday morning, seeking to determine whether counterfeit marriage is a constitutional right and whether the decision of the majority to maintain the definition of marriage as the union between a man and a woman violates that.

Allen West is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel who is running for congress in 2010 in Florida. He is a military man who understands the values that made a great nation–the values that need to be re-instilled in Washington D.C.

How did we reach the place of a secularist, anti-Christian culture in America? This ground has not been taken by secularism but rather given as a result of the cultural vacuum created by an impotent and apathetic Church.

The best of the best at Dakota Voice last week, including: We the People, According to Ray Stevens; Gun Control Advocate Shoots Intruder; Real Change is Coming: America Rising; Research: Greenland Glaciers Disappeared During Holocene Thermal Maximum; British Teacher Suspended for Offering to Pray With Student; Bill Would Require Flaws in Global Warming Theory Be Taught; Aberrations of Human Sexuality Cannot Be Justified; and more!

All eyes are on a federal trial, set to begin Monday, that will determine the constitutionality of California’s same-sex marriage ban. Some are calling it the gay community’s potential Brown vs. Board of Education. Others say democracy is at stake.

The high rate of sexual abuse of juveniles in U.S. prisons is unacceptable, declared the ministry Prison Fellowship in response to a government report released this week. According to the report “Sexual Victimization of Youth Facilities Reported by Juvenile Offenders, 2008-09” more than one in ten youths in prison reported a sexual assault in the past year, with the majority of incidents involving sexual abuse by staff.

Christian leaders are urging Americans to celebrate and promote religious liberty on Religious Freedom Sunday. Amid widespread policies on school campuses that discriminate against students’ beliefs, the national observance on Jan. 10 is intended to educate congregations about the religious liberties students have.

Fox News Sunday panelist Brit Hume stunned many when he suggested on air that Tiger, a rumored adherent of Buddhism, should seek redemption and forgiveness through the Christian faith. Of course, no sooner had the word “Christianity” left his mouth than the media intellegensia pounced.

National security is a job of government. Designing health insurance policies and forcing private citizens to buy them, running car companies, bailing out banks, and subsidizing homeowners who can’t pay their mortgages, is not. America’s unique success comes from freedom and limited government. Government’s responsibilities are laid out clearly in our constitution, which we choose to ignore.

Ravi Zacharias on why homosexual behavior is wrong: Sex is a sacred gift of God. I can no more justify an aberration of it in somebody elses life than I can justify my proclivities to go beyond my marital boundaries.

A perfect example of the media’s lack of scrutiny is their silence over Obama’s recent transformation of Executive Order (EO) 12425 from a document that constitutionally limits the International Criminal Police Organization’s (Interpol) activities domestically to one that establishes it as an autonomous police agency within the U.S.

Nothing makes the left lose its collective noodle like an open proclamation of Christian faith. You don’t see it when Muslims proselytize in government schools; the ACLU doesn’t sue when Wiccans share their witchy ways; militant “gay” activists don’t picket Buddhist temples with bullhorns while inhabitants grasp at Zen. No, there’s something about Christianity that just drives ‘em nuts. Always has. Always will.

I keep waiting for Al Gore’s much-promised global warming to kick in here in western South Dakota, but no luck so far.  My vehicle’s thermometer registered -17 degrees this morning, right before I snapped this pic on my cell phone camera at -16 degrees.
