KOTA anchorman Shad Olson recently spoke off duty on his own time at the Rapid City Tax Day Tea Party sponsored by Citizens for Liberty. He has since been suspended and taken off the air. After hearing from their membership and many other people around the United States, Citizens for Liberty President Barb Lindberg issued a statement today on the matter.

According to the LA Times, Al Gore recently bought an $8,875,000 house in the Montecito-area in Santa Barbara, California which has a swimming pool, spa, fountains, six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms. I’m very curious: what kind of carbon footprint does this house leave no our fragile planet that is a hair’s-breadth away from environmental apocalypse?

The patriots up in Lemmon, South Dakota will be holding their first Tea Party tomorrow at 1:00 pm at the Beeler Building near the north end of Main Street in Lemmon.

Opponents of Arizona’s new law which empowers local authorities to deal with the illegal immigration problem that the federal government refuses to deal with have portrayed the law as a Nazi-like “Show me your papers!” fascist law. But the AZ legislature has further clarified the law so that even a liberal can’t legitimately mistake it’s intent.

British newspaper The Sun reports on a couple from Indiana, 72 year old Pearl Carter and 26 year old Phil Bailey, are having a sexual relationship and plan to have a child together through a surrogate mother. They are also grandmother and grandson. What can we learn from this?

Noman Benotman, leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and associate of Osama bin Laden, says bin Laden had no idea the United States would launch an all-out war against terrorism when they planned the 911 attacks. He thought we’d lob a few cruise missiles at some camels and call it quits.

Rep Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) was holding a press conference to rail against the new law when CNS News asked if he was committed to controlling the southern border of the U.S. against the drug trade. Grijalva’s response concerning the protection of our borders and the fight against drugs pouring over our border was, shall we say, less than inspiring.

Liberals tell us “green jobs” are wonderful: they employ people while saving our planet from environmental apocalypse. But do they actually cost more–in jobs and taxpayer dollars–than they’re actually worth? The lessons learned in Europe provide an answer.

America is discovering in horror just what Nancy Pelosi meant when she famously stated during the health care debate that, “we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.” While many are chasing the question of if Obama knew the bill would end up costing more than claimed, when he knew, and if he suppressed the information until the vote occurred, there is another massive problem discovered within the law.

Every year the issue of religious freedom is becoming less important to the White House and State Department, a bipartisan U.S. government panel complained in its annual report on Thursday. Though the U.S. government should be increasingly mindful of religious freedom in its foreign policy and national security decisions, the opposite has occurred, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom stated its its 11th annual report.

Despite the notable lack of significant evidence, the media and the blogosphere are abuzz over the cries of a team of Chinese and Turkish explorers who claim that the wooden structure they found on Mount Ararat in Eastern Turkey is none other than Noah’s Ark.Experts in history, archaeology, and bibliology, meanwhile, are making note of the claim but not taking the bait.

This little montage brings to rememberance just a few of those precious moments that brought us to the pathetic place where we are today.

I hear people say all the time that we can’t completely catch and deport every illegal alien in America…so we shouldn’t bother trying. Yet Arizona’s new immigration law is already driving illegal aliens to “self-deport.”

Local KOTA anchorman Shad Olson spoke at the Rapid City Tax Day Tea Party on Apr. 15 sponsored by Citizens for Liberty. He spoke for American values that have been enshrined for generations in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, the founders of the United States and the hearts of Americans for more than 234 years. For that, his job is in jeopardy, and this story has just been catapulted into the national spotlight.

Glenn Beck and others such as Hot Air are breaking this quick-moving story that the Socialist Democrats in congress are planning a vote on Thursday Apr. 29 to make poverty-ridden Spanish-speaking Puerto Rico the 51st state.

Zogby has released a new poll today which found large majorities of Americans supporting tougher immigration laws to deal with the millions of illegal aliens in the United States. 79% do not believe illegal aliens are entitled to the same rights as U.S. citizens, and 2/3 want their congressional representatives to pass tougher immigration measures.

The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the 75-year-old war memorial cross in the Mojave Desert of California can remain in place. In a splintered 5-4 ruling, the justices said “the constitution does not oblige government to avoid any public acknowledgment of religion’s role in society.”

The religious freedoms of military chaplains and service members are at risk if the Obama administration repeals the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, conservative and evangelical leaders warned on Wednesday. Already, some Christian chaplains have threatened to leave their posts if the Pentagon’s policy on gay service members is overturned.

I know Al Gore has told us that the science of global warming is “settled” and that there is “consensus” in the scientific community about his religion, er, science. But such assertions are just a few light-years off from the truth. Former NASA climate scientist Dr. Roy Spencer says climate legislation is more about grabbing power than science, and that human contributions of CO2 may actually be beneficial.

Less than a week after Franklin Graham was disinvited from the Pentagon prayer event, the evangelist faces another attempt to remove him from a National Day of Prayer observation. The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a group that is widely accused of having ties to terrorists, has called on congressional sponsors of the National Day of Prayer event on Capitol Hill to rescind Graham’s invitation to speak at the May 6 gathering.

Some much-needed perspective on Arizona’s new law which empowers that state to deal with the illegal alien problem the federal government refuses to handle: the law mirrors existing federal law and provides the tools necessary for state and local authorities to do what the federal government refuses to do.

Though a majority of teens and young adults identify as Christian, a new study suggests that only 15 percent of them have personal relationships with Christ and are deeply committed. Most American “Millenials” – those born between 1980 and 1991 – don’t pray regularly. Few read their Bibles or other religious texts, and many don’t attend church on a weekly basis, according to a LifeWay Research study.

Kidnapping and criminal association charges against 10 U.S. Christians who tried to transport Haitian children out of the country to an orphanage have been dropped. However, the leader of the group of volunteers, Laura Silsby, still faces a charge of arranging irregular travel and will stand trial in Haiti, Judge Bernard Saint-Vil said Monday.

President Barack Obama and his fellow socialists in congress were desperately hoping the American people would just shut up and like it once they passed their unconstitutional health care scheme a few weeks ago…but the opposite is proving true. Polls show support for repeal is continuing to increase, perhaps as more and more bad aspects of the bill come to light.

A group of Chinese and Turkish Christians claim to have found the remains of Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat about 13,000 ft up; pictures and video has been supplied. Could part of the ark have remained relatively intact for 4,800 years? It’s quite possible if it was encased in ice and snow, preventing weathering and the natural breakdown of the wood.
