As the states’ lawsuit against the imposition of the unconstitutional ObamaCare works its way through the appeals process, Senator Ron Paul (R-KY) hit the nail on the head concerning the abomination that is ObamaCare during a hearing in the Senate HELP Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging today. He called it “slavery,” amounting to the conscription of doctors against their will. Indeed.

It’s hard to believe that after all the guff the “mainstream” media and the rest of the Left has given the Tea Party movement for supposedly being racist President Barack Obama, America’s second black president (Bill Clinton was the first, you will recall) has invited a couple of bigoted racists to the White House for a poetry event.

Participating in the forum were current Mayor Alan Hanks, Alderman Sam Kookier, Alderman Ron Weifenbach, and Rapid City businessman Pete Wernicke. The question comes from a member of the audience and asks the candidates to cite an example of current mismanagement in city government and tell what they would do to correct it.

In a well-produced brochure touted as its Clean Water Framework, the Obama Administration last week announced its updated and revised policies governing the Nation’s Waters. Included in the initiatives it discusses is “updated draft guidance regarding Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction.” Those of us now familiar with the Administration’s attempts to use the EPA as a vehicle for circumventing the wishes of Congress and the Courts naturally fear something far less wholesome. Under its new Guidance, EPA officials freely admit that compared to how things stand currently, “the number of waters identified as protected by the CWA will increase.”
