If you care about twenty-first century society, you must read Steve Goreham’s new book, Climatism. In my 55-year career as a scientist I have written more than 1,000 book reviews for various journals. No book has pleased me more than this one. – Jay Lehr, The Heartland Institute

Obama at the Bat is a stirring tale of a man at bat, under tremendous pressure to hit a home run. Can he do it? Will he pull it off? Will the crowd go wild…or go home crushed?

Could we have imagined 50 years ago that marriage would be under all-out assault, and that we would be in a pitched battle to defend an institution so ancient, so fundamental, and so obvious? Would we have imagined it even 30 years ago? Yet that is where we find ourselves…but defenders of marriage are not without powerful allies.

Steve Hildebrand of Sioux Falls, a former advisor of President Barack Obama, admits Democrats may just get slaughtered in the upcoming 2010 November elections: I think that there is a real shot we [Democrats] are going to get slaughtered in elections this fall”

In America we have since the birth of our country recognized that we are endowed with certain inalienable rights from our Creator. We do not have a right, however, to diminish the rights of another person. In other words, we do not have the right to force another person to surrender their property or services to give to us.

The use and abuse of the Antiquities Act, legislation which dates back to the time of Teddy Roosevelt, is nothing new. Little consideration seems to be given to how these federal land grabs will affect property rights, loss of state revenue, job creation and local economies.

A strikingly higher percentage of Americans believe that the threat posed by global warming is exaggerated, a new Gallup survey found. Nearly half of the public (48 percent) think that the seriousness of global warming is generally exaggerated, up from 41 percent in 2009 and 31 percent in 1997, when Gallup first asked the question. Gallup noted that the percentage of Americans who believe global warming is generally overblown is the highest on its record.

The Slaughter Rule would allow House members to avoid going on the record as having voted for health care reform, complete with language that allows government payment for elective abortions. This is an under-handed, disingenuous attempt to shove this monstrosity down the throats of Americans who have made it very clear that they want none of this overt socialist take-over of one-sixth of our economy.

The swamp has become deeper, darker and more fetid under Madam Pelosi and this is yet another devouring, unholy beast arising from the slime and muck of Washington.

The health care debate has seen a few vocal proponents of a single-payer universal health care system like those seen in Europe. But this Swedish-born author, having had long exposure to government-run health care, exposes some “hidden” aspects that come with socialized medicine that aren’t so wonderful.

Speaker Pelosi is tallying the votes by the minute and could call for a vote anytime (when she thinks she has the number needed). We MUST let our Congressmen and women know what we think about the health care reform bill now before them. Make no mistake, there will be no amendments or “reconciliation.” If the House votes the Senate bill in, it will go directly to the White House and will be the law of the land within hours. This must be stopped. Nothing less than the future of our country is at stake.

Author Steve Goreham makes the case in “Climatism!” that the world has gone crazy with many of the world’s nations are committing economic suicide in the name of reduced carbon dioxide levels. Goreham examines the flawed computer models and manipulation of data that provide the foundation of climatism.

I doubt actor Sean Penn has the intellectual capacity to realize the irony of what he said in this interview about America-hating communist thug Hugo Chavez. But you, Faithful Reader, I am sure you will immediately grasp the buffoonery of this statement…and how it reveals the mindset that leads Penn to be an admirer of Chavez.

Bill Whittle describes the joy of being a pilot and flying on your own, and how he shares this passion with another famous pilot, Han Solo aka Harrison Ford. Well, the big-government nanny-staters–ever on the prowl to find something else to ban–are now targeting private aviation. You see, it is a part of the evil free-market cancer that is destroying our planet, Mother Gaia.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to hear Snyder v. Phelps, a case dealing with anti-gay protests at the funerals of American soldiers, is stirring up debate over whether the privacy rights of grieving families trumps the free speech rights of demonstrators.

This is a nice video which puts recent planetary warming in perspective with temperatures of the last few hundred years…and the last few thousand years. When we examine the historical record, any warming that may have been occurring recently (and appears to have leveled off) is pretty tame. Claims of climate doom are nothing but a hysterical hoax.

U.S. District Court Judge Robert Chatigny, who seems to be more sympathetic with murderers and other predators than with the public he is hired to protect, has been nominated by President Obama for an appeals court position.

During the National Defend Education protest last week, you didn’t so much see parents, teachers and students as much as you saw union thugs and socialists out defending public education. Glenn Beck ran a special on this Friday. In this video, Beck takes a closer look at one of the nut-job organizations present at the protest called Fight Imperialism Stand Together (FIST). The FIST rep sings the praises of “free” education and the “right” to food, and how wonderful the workers paradise of the Soviet Union was.

It seems there is no limit to the hubris of Obama and his administration. Not content to attempt to take over banks, the auto industry, health care, education, the food industry and virtually every aspect of our economy, while putting nearly 1 in 5 Americans out of work, now we learn that recreational fishing will soon be severely limited by EXECUTIVE ORDER.

Our current political landscape could get depressing but I believe in American Exceptionalism and a can do attitude. I believe that our history and our future have been and will be defined by our devotion to limited government and the liberty and opportunity this provides.

Good news in the effort to top Iran from getting nuclear weapons and furthering the terrorism they support: yesterday the South Dakota Legislature gave final support to SB 134 by a vote of 62-5. SB 134 calls for the state to divest itself of investments in Iran, a belligerent, nuclear-bent, terrorism-supporting nation that has been supplying terrorists who attack our troops and Iraqi civilians for years.

Apparently all the running around the world, apologizing for America and bowing to every foreigner in sight just isn’t improving respect for America internationally. A new poll finds Americans believe America’s respect internationally has been diminished under President Obama.

Because you know that sooner or later you’ll hear them again, Robert Moon debunks 10 liberal lies about Iraq. From the alleged thousands of Iraqi civilians killed by Americans, to the unilateral “rush to war,” to the claim that Saddam had no terrorist ties, to deceptions about WMDs, it’s all here.

Al Gore and Yale University are indoctrinating students with a new faith: Climate Change Hysteria. But Al Gore is not alone. The long list of the project’s participants includes the National Association of Evangelicals Vice President Richard Cizak.

There is a loop hole that the Federal Courts have been using for years. Millions of us over the years have wondered, “How can the government do that?” or “That’s not in the Constitution, is it?” No,it is not!! So how? Answer: ” IMPLIED POWERS OF THE CONSTITUTION”

Republican gubernatorial candidate Gordon Howie says last week’s plan from legislative leadership called for budget cuts, but this plan doesn’t actually cut the budget. Howie says it increases government spending.
