This comes from a comment string here at Voices Carry last night. It's worth it's own post. I thought the title– for those who don't know snot –was appropriate and you'll see why shortly.
Rayilyn Brown, the courageous Parkinson's sufferer and director of the Arizona Chapter National Parkinson Foundation, [...]
Remember Tiffany Campbell? She's the post-abortive mom the abortion cartel exploited in their campaign to make sure abortion remains back up birth control in South Dakota.
Tiffany Campbell is now going national in her quest for atonement. Last night an article titled "My baby would have died under the [...]
Linda D. Schauer, the South Dakota state director of Concerned Women for America wrote the following which appeared in the Argus Leader today:
Either David Volk is ignorant of the stem cell issue, or he's trying to pull the wool over our eyes.Volk's clone-and-kill group, so-called South Dakotans for Lifesaving [...]
As harassment and intimidation of pro-life donors takes off in other directions, the State of South Dakota announced this morning they will no longer continue the legal battle to make public the name of a large, in state, VoteYesForLife donor. From the Argus Leader…
South Dakota officials have reached [...]
Results are in from my poll - Should Sarah Palin grant media interviews on her book tour. If you missed my earlier post which prompted the poll, you can check that out here. Admittedly I didn't give any answer options except "other" for those who really don't like her. [...]
Bob Mercer at Pure Pierre Politics posted on the obvious a couple weeks ago— that churches WERE deeply involved in funding Vote Yes For Life in 2006 and 2008 — and, as Bob notes…. we have been very open about it in the campaign finance reports. The point of Mercer's [...]
I suggest a name change for these folks who want to pass a clone and kill bill in South Dakota…
South Dakotans for Mutant Mice and Rats
Reporters need to start asking how many mice are better using embryonic stem cells. The answer is these cells only [...]
For a few months the deceptively named group "South Dakotans for Lifesaving Cures" has been ramping up toward their petition drive to put an Initiated Measure on the ballot that opens the now shut door in South Dakota to cloning and experimenting on human embryos.
As was reported last week in the [...]
This morning the Sioux Falls Argus Leader found yet another angle to hammer away at Sarah Palin. They had a reporter dial up the media in all the cities she's visited so far on her new book tour and found out she isn't taking local interviews.
In her [...]
At this very moment, high noon at the National Press Club in Washington DC, one-hundred and twenty-five Orthodox, Catholic and Evangelical leaders will be holding a press conference on their signing of what is being called "The Manhattan Declaration." (I see it as today equivalent of the Barmen Declaration which was [...]
One of these days I'm going to take a day and post on this growing file of stuff people forward me. I flipped through that file this morning and thought this was interesting enough to share.
Here we have invoice from a local security company charging Planned Parenthood $140 a week to [...]
Internationally recognized stem cell expert Dr. David Prentice is in South Dakota for a few days to smack down (with hard science) the bait and switch false claims of Dave Volk, Nathan Peterson and Mitch Richter of the so-called South Dakotans for Lifesaving Cures. That these are the same Daschle/Planned Parenthood people who gave [...]
Remember last December when Planned Parenthood MN/SD/ND announced through local media outlets that they were "laying off" SD director Kate Looby because of the economy?? Remember how I didn't buy that for a second?
Well,,, funny thing… they just released their annual report for last year and turns out these MN/SD/ND abortion stores turned a record profit [...]
Here's a brief report from the "Coalition for Cures Not Cloning" press conference held this morning at the Old Courthouse Museum in Sioux Falls. SD Family Policy Council Action President Chris Hupke states "the proposed measure would drive a Texas-sized loop hole in [...]
Looks like Leona Helmsley, the Queen of Mean, is still going after little people from her grave. Remember her, the billionairre tax-evader who famously told her housekeeper - "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes." Remember, she died in 2007 and left her dog $12 million [...]
KELOLAND.COM reports:
Monday, Sioux Falls circuit judge Kathleen Caldwell ruled in favor of state Representative Roger Hunt, who formed Promising Future Inc. three years ago. The corporation had one shareholder who gave $750,000 to the 2006 Vote Yes For Life campaign. South Dakota Secretary of State Chris Nelson argued it [...]
While Nancy Pelosi led the majority of her party over a cliff on Saturday night, South Dakota US House Rep. Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin (D) decided her re-election was most important. Lefty blogger/attorney Todd Epp is encouraging fellow Democrats to withhold dollars and volunteers to teach [...]
Lots of coverage today of the twentieth anniversary celebration of the Berlin Wall. During my sabbatical this past summer in Europe I wrote an article on the role of prayer in bringing down the wall. Here it is - enjoy the pics. There are many valuable lessons and parallels [...]
These past couple weeks there has been discussion here about how Muslim's get a free pass from popular critique and any slight form of defamation, yet there is no restraint on Christian bashing by those who hypocritically espouse tolerance. Here's the latest installment of tip-toeing around Islam while Christianity gets [...]
Voilà! I can even sneak "pro-life" into Halloween! As you can see I had a little fun with my daughter today - the puppy ate most of the pumpkin guts when we weren't watching - can't wait for that to come through.
The pattern [...]
Richard A. Berreth of White, South Dakota wrote an important letter to the editor in the Argus Leader yesterday:
I was surprised by the Oct. 19 Argus Leader headline stating that David Volk was starting a petition drive to eliminate the ban on embryonic stem cell research in South Dakota. The [...]
Here's a letter a friend just sent to Johnson, Thune and Herseth.
Dear Senator/Congresswoman:
In South Dakota last year, 6,000 babies less than one year of age were enrolled in the state's Medicaid system. There were approximately 12,200 live births in South Dakota last year. So that averages out to approximately fifty [...]
While Muslims get a free pass from popular critique and any slight form of defamation, there is no restraint on Christian bashing by those who hypocritically espouse tolerance. Enter the new Christian Anti-Defamation Commission. Here is some of the mission verbiage from their website:
The [...]
Today I decided I'm going to pull a Rick Warren and host some 2010 political debates at Church at the Gate here in Sioux Falls. My thought was to start with a debate of Sioux Falls mayoral candidates in February. Stay tuned. In addition to the questions I have, I'd [...]
Here is a second post calling out a fellow South Dakota blogger who has enjoyed many laughs in the last couple years at my expense and at the expense of other people of faith. After my Saturday smackback for his posting a painting of a stripper dancing on the [...]
A little South Dakota blog drama for your Saturday morning…
Yesterday, Scott Ehrisman at South Dacola once again stooped to ridiculing other people's religion, this time using sexuality. He posted a version of the classic DaVinci painting of Jesus and the disciples at the Last Supper –only a Stripper was [...]
UPDATED: A friend sent me a link to watch the whole show. Here it is.
Tonight's episode of Law and Order hit the abortion issue head on. The episode was called "DIGNITY - A late term abortion doctor gets killed in a church and the detectives discover the murderer [...]

Recently Thad Wasson, 2010 Republican Candidate for US Congress, replied to my questions about his views on some of the issues related to this blog and it's readers. Thad Wasson, Blake Curd and Chris Nelson are the GOP contenders seeking Rep. Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin's house seat. In the [...]
The American Cancer Society does NOT support embryonic stem cell experimentation. I talk to their lobbiest in Pierre this morning and in five different ways she said "we do not support embryonic stem cell experimentation." She said it is Dave Volk's perrogative to keep telling us about his cancer and [...]
Here are the reports from KSFY last night. Dave Volk of "South Dakotans for Lifesavingtaking Cures" wants us to ignore the fact that embryos mutate, he wants us to ignore the enormous ethical issues, he wants to open up a massive loophole in the best law in the [...]
KSFY was calling around late this afternoon trying to get ready for a story - running at 10 PM tonight - on Dave Volk and his zeal to experiment on human embyros. Right now they have a poll on the lower right column of their homepage with this yes [...]
How is it we go from a supposed extreme level of "voter fatique" in South Dakota on legislation related to unborn human life to now we have supposedly… "tapped into a wellspring of enthusiasm" ?? That's what Dave Volk is telling reporters regarding the statewide response he is getting [...]
KELOLAND News did this little piece last night on Church at the Gate member Annie Johnson. She's such an inspiration.
Of course, this is another win for adult stem cells. Don't listen to the confusing bait and switch coming from Dave Volk and his friends who talk about wanting [...]
SD Gubernatorial candidate and rancher Ken Knuppe answers questions over at Dakota Voice. Here are three questions and responses related to the main focus of Voices Carry.
8. Did you support or oppose the 2006 bill to ban almost all abortions in South Dakota? Why?
I opposed because there were [...]
Back to back Munsterman for Governor posts here. I just noticed he devoted a post on his blog to the matter of the hope of some to amend out the language currently banning experimenting with human embyro's in South Dakota. Here's my favorite part which counters David Volks [...]
Fresh from the Munsterman campaign trail, here are Scott's comments from the SD Right to Life Convention this weekend. Munsterman tells how his conviction that life begins at conception was initially a matter of faith but became a fact of scientific knowledge for him during a course in embryology [...]
If it's true, and it surely is, that winning the Nobel Peace Prize today was "nothing the President sought" then he should rise above the undue adulation of his fan club and say, "Thanks, I'm delighted you support my ideas, but I cannot accept an award given to me [...]
On occasion I pull out something from the comment string here that is worthy of it's own post. This is one of those times and you'll want to read this carefully. In response to David Kranz article in the Argus last week about Dave Volk and his cancer, and [...]
Bob Ellis at Dakota Voice has a post today of fourteen questions and responses from Lt. Gov. Dennis Daugaard. Daugaard kicked off his campaign for Governor on Monday. I'll reprint the three questions/responses here that relate to the primary focus of Voices Carry:
8. Did you support or oppose [...]
Went to Lt. Gov. Dennis Daugaard's campaign kickoff this morning at his family farm near Garretson, SD. The rain was steady but it didn't appear that kept anyone away. It was shoulder to shoulder. Lots of media. Here's a few pics with the usual mediocre quality of a camera [...]
The David Kranz writes this in the Argus Leader today;
Cindy Morrison, vice president of public policy for Sanford Health Systems, has said Sanford Health will take no position on the proposed ballot measure regarding stem cell research.
You don't even need batteries in your BS detector to know this is [...]
The Washington Times is reporting…
Popular support for abortion rights has dropped seven points in the past year due in part to the election of a pro-choice Democratic president, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life said Thursday. In the largest shift in sentiment since pollsters began asking about [...]
Center for Disease Control data shows that the states that accepted abstinence education funding saw greater reductions in teen abortions compared to states that didn't. If President Obortion truly wanted to reduce abortions he would not be so hellbent on defunding abstinence education programs. Obviously he cares nothing about [...]
Just days after a state appeals court in New York dismissed his desperate seventy million dollar lawsuit against his former employer, ex-CBS news anchor Dan Rather takes out his frustration on innocent babies in South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota.
Yep… Sarah Let's-Target-The-Poor-For-Extermination Stoesz, the regional commandant of Planned [...]
Somebody explain this to me.
According to this week's ranking at BlogNetNews, I rate number one for the most influential political blog in South Dakota. Huh? I've only posted six times in seven days. Others post more frequently, others have higher traffic volume and more [...]
Orly Taitz isn't crazy. To be honest, I've wondered, but after hearing her speak last night here in Sioux Falls on the issue of Obama's eligibility, I can report she's not a loon. To me what's insane is that so few seem bothered by the fact that Obama has [...]
I haven't posted on the Obama birth certificate issue since December 5 of last year. The reason I stopped is not because I no longer believe it to be a legitimate concern. People don't spend over a million dollars and hire five different law firms to seal college records if there is [...]
On Wednesday, a noon panel at the University of South Dakota tackled the question: Is Obama another Hitler? Two hundred people packed Farber Hall in Vermillion for the forum which was moderated by Benno Wymar, a retired USD economics professor. Wymar is a native German who moved to the United States in 1954.
"I was [...]
Commenting on the latest attempt to amend out the prohibitions in SD law related to embryonic stem cell experimentation, Former State Senator Lee Schoenbeck said;
…under the new campaign reporting law, it will be interesting to follow the trail of money that is behind this.
Yep. It will.
