It appears government is once again going to be allowed to play the overlord and crush private property rights by favoring one private entity over another. And when government plays favorites over freedom between two private parties, almost always it is the one with the lesser financial muscle who gets the short end.

Evangelist Franklin Graham is scheduled to speak at the Pentagon on the National Day of Prayer. But his invitation has riled up at least one group which is demanding a more “inclusive speaker” for the event on May 6. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation opposes the invitation because Graham said Islam is an “evil” religion, and because of his ties to the National Day of Prayer Task Force.

Exodus International released a statement Tuesday expressing sadness that popular communicator and radio talk show host Dawson McAllister chose to remove Exodus from its referral list over a homosexual flap.

We knew Europe was a cesspool of socialism, but now the European Union is reaching new heights of lunacy by declaring taxpayer-funded vacations a “human right.” God help the United States when socialists here find out about this new freebie…at the expense of their fellow Americans.

State efforts to reclaim their jurisdiction are great. But in some respects, the states are still showing signs of apprehension of, and/or undue deference to, the federal government.

Subway has the capability to properly tessellate the cheese on their sandwiches, yet they never do, resulting in unnecessary dairy overlap. This results in soul-crushing disappointment for some.

A group of six homosexuals in military uniform handcuffed themselves to the fence in front of the White House today. The reaction? No less than six police cruisers, at least three police motorcycles, and two paddy wagons responded to apprehend the nonviolent protesters and remove the public and the media from the area. Was this a homophobic reaction by President Obama? Does homophobia justify the suspension of the First Amendment?

What it looks like when a RINO picks the wrong day to quit doing big government…

Now our runaway government won’t even trust you with the salt! The FDA now says it wants to regulate the amount of salt that can be added to foods, especially in restaurants. Apparently Americans are too stupid to even make their own food choices and be trusted with their own intake of salt.

For some: yummy. For others: not so much.

Brian Clowes, Director of Human Life International Research, has conducted an interesting study on the question of homosexuality and pedophilia. He looked at data compiled over the past 60 years and found a strong link between homosexuality and pedophilia.

Millions of hardworking American citizens sacrifice their time and invest their efforts in an attempt to get a message through to Washington. The ruling party is headed for a fall and the Obama-Pelosi-Reid triumvirate is fated to lose the current lock they have on power.

A new Pew Research poll describes a “perfect storm” of factors combining to create record lows in trust of American government, with the lowest favorable rating for Congress in a quarter century. Most Americans now realize government is too big and must be reined in with fewer services provided.

As technology grows more sophisticated and the government and its corporate allies further refine their methods of keeping tabs on the American people, those of us who treasure privacy increasingly find ourselves engaged in a struggle to maintain our freedoms in the midst of the modern surveillance state.

Amnesty International is pushing us to embrace the UN in further enslaving our citizens under the guise of “humanitarian assistance.” Ironically, the overarching slogan of the Amnesty report is, “Demand Dignity.” But, where is the dignity in living on handouts? Where is the dignity in taking money that you haven’t earned?

In the recent liberal love-fest in this video, Leftists Chris Matthews, Joe Klein, Norah O’Donnell and other liberals try to accuse Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and other patriots of “sedition.” Sedition is defined as the “incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.” Since we know the U.S. Constitution–not men–is the lawful authority of our nation, who is really guilty of sedition?

The best of the best from Dakota Voice last week, including: Update on Attack Against Gov. Bobby Jindal Fundraiser; Taking Back Our Country…And We’ll Help You Pack; Bullied to Death: The Failure of Modern Moral Education; Tea Party Crasher Revealed; CBS/NYT Poll: Most Americans Realize Obama Policies Moving Nation Toward Socialism; Openly Marxist Orgs Oppose Tea Party Movement; NYT/CBS Poll: Tea Party Supporters More Educated, Prosperous; and more!

Isn’t this special. The Environmentalist Protection Agency (EPA) which is harassing businesses and individuals across America with their extremist environmental regulations is itself in violation of its own lead contamination regulations…at its own headquarters.

Remember that New York Times/CBS poll which found Tea Party supporters were more educated and successful than the general public? The poll contained another interesting find: 52% of the general public believe President Barack Obama’s policies are pushing America toward socialism.

On March 21, when the Intolerable Act of 2010 was passed by the House of Representatives, calls for repeal began almost immediately. But we must do more than repeal it: we must repair the breaches and craft a layered defense that protects our freedom now and in the future.

President Obama says he is increasing NASA’s budget…but virtually eliminating anything to do with manned space flight. Our aging space shuttle program is to completely be shut down…with not only no replacement in sight, but no plans for a new replacement. If Americans want to get into space, we’ll have to hitch a ride with the Russians. Just another front in Barack Obama’s war on American exceptionalism.

Just weeks away from the annual National Day of Prayer, a federal judge ruled on Thursday that the day is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb struck down a federal statute creating the “National Day of Prayer,” concluding that it connotes endorsement and encouragement of a particular religious exercise.

A Christian legal group has launched a new effort aimed at protecting churches from excessive and unconstitutional government intrusion. Launched Wednesday, Alliance Defense Fund’s Church Project provides legal information to pastors and ministry leaders on how to defend their religious freedom in America as well as practical guidelines on issues such as public funding and hiring policies.

For the past few years, Christian groups have been divided over how to respond to the annual Day of Silence. Some urge parents to pull their children from school that day in protest. They say the observance is not as innocuous as it seems. Others encourage Christian students to attend school and show support for school safety for all students, not just homosexual ones.
