Does President Obama really believe if he talks deficit reduction while proposing the biggest budget with the biggest deficit in history anyone is going to fall for it? The question comes to mind, how dumb does he think we are?

Audi’s Super Bowl “Green Police” ads are offensive to Americans who cherish their freedom, but they do provide a useful glimpse into the world environmental wackos and cap-and-trade-global-warming-tax advocates have in mind for us.

When you watch it, you will realize why the NAGs and all their pro-abortion allies were apoplectic over the thought of this ad playing on national television. Now that we see it in all it’s dark and ghastly glory, we average Americans can understand why abortionists were so determined to see it banned from the airwaves. How dare anyone have the call to show something so horrible amongst all the violence, scantily-clad women and beer commercials on this most sacred day!

Just days before the Super Bowl, Planned Parenthood finally responded to the highly-talked-about pro-life Super Bowl ad featuring Tim Tebow by releasing its own sports-based video. After staying mum for weeks, Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the country, posted a video on YouTube featuring former NFL player Sean James and Olympic gold medalist Al Joyner, who directly respond to the Focus on the Family-produced pro-life ad.

The best of the best from Dakota Voice last week, including: Team Obama Recruiting at Public Schools; Global Warming Boss Takes Chauffeured Ride 1 Mile to Work; Atheist Group Opposes Postage Stamp Honoring Mother Teresa; Star Wars Text Makes it to Earth; Canadian Premier Flees Government Health Care to United States; The Super Bowl Kerfuffle; South Dakota Resisting Govt Health Care With Three Bills in Legislature; and more!

By the time social issues manifest themselves in the realm of politics, it’s too late—by then you’re fighting from a deficit. The ideas that produced these political points of conflict began long before and the process of affecting real change occurs over a generation or more, not one political term.

Lech Walesa is the former president of Poland. Before that, he was a freedom fighter in the Cold War. Walesa has a reminder for America, and an admonition that we turn around before it is irrevocably too late.

A strong majority of the American public has decided that it doesn’t want the kind of change President Obama is trying to shove down its throat, and no amount of rhetorical flourish is going to change its mind. America is looking for a very different kind of change–one they can actually believe in.

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said recently, “Our K-12 agenda can be summed up in one word: reform.” If only it were true. But what Duncan calls reform is indeed putting lipstick on a pig. In this case, the pig is Washington’s never changing formula for solving everything: spending ever-increasing sums of taxpayer’s money.

Is it true that corporations don’t enjoy freedom and constitutional protection because they aren’t people? Or is this merely an excuse to oppose the rights of some organizations while favoring protection for others?

Liberals are wailing that former congressman Tom Tancredo is a racist, based on comments he made about the intellectual prowess of the body that elected Barack Obama. So is Tancredo really a racist…or are his critics only proving Tancredo right once again?

With the massive advance of socialism we’ve seen under our Marxist president in the last year, Gallup has come out with an interesting poll on how Americans view socialism. Overall, only about 1/3 (36%) have a favorable impression of socialism while 58% view it negatively.

A new Earth-centered worship area at the Air Force Academy has generated wide attention and discussion over religious freedom and political correctness. While officers say the site for pagans, Wiccans, Druids and other Earth-centered believers is in congruence with their duty to defend freedom for all Americans, including the freedom to practice religion, one Baptist pastor condemned it as idolatry.

President Obama’s Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships will mark its first anniversary Friday, but it’s hard to determine whether the office has been successful or not. One member of Obama’s faith advisory council questioned whether in an effort to find common ground council members were expected to water down their faith.

For several months, CNS News has been doing the yeoman’s work (the work the “mainstream” media won’t do) of challenging our representatives on Capitol Hill about the constitutionality of socialized health care. Their efforts have revealed some pretty interesting, and pretty pathetic, responses.

Here’s the rub: while Americans wander about oblivious in their brainwashed states, their “government of the people, by the people and for the people” is being taken away from them. The answer: get un-brainwashed. Learn your rights. Stand up for the founding principles. Make your voice and your vote count.

The resulting combination of big-government policies and self-righteous, reckless leadership will be the demise of progressive Democrats. They will be challenged at every turn by fiscal and social conservatives running for office. If they cannot learn how profoundly out of touch with America they are, they will go down.

Religion is being removed from public life in Britain under the guise of tolerance, the Archbishop of York has warned. “This is symptomatic of a trend which has intensified in Britain over the past fifty years in the name of tolerance. That is, an attempt to remove religion from public life,” he pointed out.

Most professing Christians in America are infected with at least some measure of the health and wealth gospel, said one theologian. That is, believers have no concept of a love and a joy that does not eliminate hardship and heartache, Sam Storms of Bridgeway Church in Oklahoma City said at a pastors conference this week.

When it was implied that Dr. Dale M. Rognlie had not signed the petition disagreeing with the theory of anthropogenic global warming because he died eight years ago, his wife Janice contacted the Petition Project for a copy of his signature. She has confirmed her husband’s signature as genuine, and hopes this will right a wrong done to the organizers of the petition

Government health care is so good that Canadian Premier Danny Williams is coming to the United States for heart surgery rather than have it done in his own country. And President Obama and his comrades want to force this kind of garbage on the American people?

The New York Times features a story on the remarks of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas concerning the recent SCOTUS decision restoring First Amendment rights to companies and groups. When you know the real history of who’s attacking freedom in America and why, you might be VERY surprised.

She thinks the government has no right to tell a woman whether she can have an abortion or not. But this pro-choice sports columnist also thinks that the group NOW is not right in trying to pull the pro-life Tim Tebow ad from airing during the Super Bowl.

On the heels of losing the effort to repeal South Dakota’s ban on embryonic stem cell research in the state legislature, proponents are now considering taking the repeal to the ballot in November.
