The Argus Leader comments on the failed attempt by the South Dakota Senate to move South Dakota to the left:
Much of the hard work, of course, came out of the Senate, where there was a real spirit of bipartisanship. Some of that was because of long friendships, some because of commonly held beliefs.
Some was simply because "it's about the people of South Dakota," said Sen. Jean Hunhoff, a Yankton Republican.
Much, of course, was because of a new and rising Senate leadership that went beyond Sioux Falls Republican Dave Knudson, the Senate majority leader.Sen. Tom Dempster, another Sioux Falls Republican, made a strong push for health insurance to cover every South Dakotan.
Sioux Falls Republican Sen. Jason Gant put open government on the radar, as did Watertown Democratic Sen. Nancy Turbak.Sen. Ed Olson, a Mitchell Republican, joined with Knudson to push some real education funding reform.
And there were plenty of others that worked to get thorny, time-consuming issues out of the way - the Sen. Dan Sutton hearings and abortion - so work could be done elsewhere, even if that amounted only to setting the state for next year.
Disappointments? Plenty. But also real hope for next year's legislative session.
Hunhoff’s statement about the people of South Dakota is a real laugher. The South Dakota Senate was about more government, not about the people. As I said before, it was the people’s House that put a stop to the Senate’s agenda driven by the Country Club Republicans and the big government Democrats. An agenda that was not kind to small town South Dakota.
Note how the Argus Leader praised all three of the remaining MAINstream Country Club Republicans (Knudson, Dempster, and Olson). And they call this "a real spirit of bipartisanship". These three are Satan’s gift to the South Dakota Democrat Party, if you want to know the real spirit the Argus Leader was talking about. The Argus Leader did not even mention the failed attempt by this trio to turn South Dakota children into lab rats for another psychology experiment with their kick the can down the isle approach to State control from cradle with "pre-kindergarten", as they quietly started to push for State control to grave with universal health care. Lets not forget Dempster’s demonstration of the elitist attitude of these far-left Republicans as he referred to poor children as "Ugly Ducklings".
And when the Argus Leader ends with "real hope for next year's legislative session", they are talking about the hope to advance the agenda of the New World far-left radicals whose end-game is a one-world socialist government that will control us from cradle to grave. Some call that the Nanny State. We used to call it communism.
UPDATE: I found this WorldNetDaily report regarding yesterday’s Rush Limbaugh program that relates to the point I just made as he said this:
"What are the liberals committed to?" Limbaugh asked. "They are committed to power over people. They are committed to running people's lives. They are committed to the assumption that people are incompetent, and they are committed to controlling government to run people's lives. Conservatives are not. Conservatives do not think government should run people. Government should get out of the way as much as possible. So for conservatives to battle libs for the government is already a bit a contradiction. When conservatives get hold of the government, the idea is to slow it down."
