Cory Heidelberger plans on using minimum wage to add fuel to his student revolution

So what is wrong with letting businesses decide how much to pay those under eighteen? Listen to totalitarian New Age Theocrat Cory Heidelberger:

I would say Senator David Novstrup (R-3/Aberdeen) is pushing hard for the youth minimum wage, but that might exaggerate the forcefulness with which David Novstrup legislates. When David talks about Senate Bill 177, he sounds less like a man speaking from conviction and more like a boy told by his dad Al, "Son, here's a bill to keep our profits up at Thunder Road. Get everyone to vote for it, and I'll raise your allowance."

Really Cory, your disrespect for the parents of children is showing. He even plans to use them as political crusaders to destroy South Dakota's conservative culture:

But you know, Democrats, if we're looking for a way to engage young voters and soon-to-be voters, maybe we should use Senator Novstrup's attack on young workers' rights as our number-one organizing tool. If we can't stop the Republican supermajorities from passing SB 177, maybe we refer the youth minimum wage to a public vote. We get moms and dads to circulate petitions with their working teenage sons and daughters

Typical attitude of a New Age Theocratic teacher: get the kids to tell their parents what is right and what is wrong. Now we understand why Democrats have little political power in South Dakota. They think they can dictate what businesses pay their employees and what values parent must agree to. Has any of the Democrats considered moving to the rational right? I know Cory and his gang of Madville New Age Theocrats haven't. I got banned by trying to talk common sense to those radicals.

Pat Powers covers SDGOP tax and spend liberalism found in SB135

Pat Powers is covering the proposed legislation for cities to add a 1% sales tax:

From today’s Argus Leader website comes a story about the tax increase proposal no one is really talking much about… Until tonight, on the eve of the measure moving forward in the House, after narrowly passing the Senate.

“The key thing to remember is, we have a limited capacity in our overall sales tax system,” Wiest told legislators at a bill hearing Feb. 4. “We cannot have as a state a 15 percent sales tax when you combine state and local sales tax. That’s not going to work for citizens in the state. They won’t permit it.”

Still, governing bodies in 100 communities across the state have signed on in favor of the legislation. The Senate passed it 19-14 earlier this month. It now goes in front of the House Taxation Committee Thursday morning.

If legislators rejected a tax package which would have cost taxpayers $100 million… Then why is a $150 Million tax proposal sliding through so quietly?

Or maybe not so quietly now that the cat is out of the bag.

Good question Pat. My answer is that we are not suppose to let conservatives know that their Republican legislators are tax and spend liberals based on their voting record. Here is the recorded vote from the Senate Journal, and please pay it forward and tell those you know what is going on in Pierre:

 The question being "Shall SB 135 pass as amended?"

    And the roll being called:

    Yeas 19, Nays 14, Excused 2, Absent 0

    Yeas: Bradford; Brown; Buhl O'Donnell; Cammack; Ewing; Haverly; Heinert; Lederman; Parsley; Peters; Rave; Rusch; Soholt; Solano; Sutton; Tidemann; Tieszen; Vehle; White

    Nays: Frerichs; Greenfield (Brock); Haggar (Jenna); Heineman (Phyllis); Holien; Hunhoff (Bernie); Jensen (Phil); Monroe; Olson; Omdahl; Otten (Ernie); Peterson (Jim); Rampelberg; Van Gerpen

    Excused: Curd; Novstrup (David)

    So the bill having received an affirmative vote of a majority of the members-elect, the President declared the bill passed and the title was agreed to.

At Madville, it is the gun's fault if someone committs suicide

From an anti-constitutional thread at Cory Heidelberger's web site:

my 18 year old son spent his $10, applied for a permit, took his birthday $ from me and bought a military style rifle (the one i kept saying "no" to, from the local big box), 1000 rounds, and less than 30 days later, shot himself dead in his car as a senior in high school.

the permit showed up in the mail a few days later.  none of his family had almost no idea of any of it. 

i say, turn that paper work around faster so the high school parking lots can be full of guns.  same thing i told stan a. then.

...

i say, turn that paper work around faster so the high school parking lots can be full of guns.  same thSorry to hear about your loss,Leslie. No parent on Earth should ever have to bury one of their children. The NRA won't care.

Cory Heidelberger leaves this response:

That story, along with what JonD says, emphasizes the point that we need to change the general attitude about guns. American lore (history, books, movies, video games, culture) makes too many people believe guns are simple problem-solving tools. Far from it. Guns represent a fear that is out of proportion to most of our daily lives. Guns represent a willingness to use deadly force that is out of proportion to the daily problems we face. Guns make violence quick and easy... and violence should be neither.

Note the "we need to change the general attitude about guns". That is happening in our schools. The revolution to destroy our constitutions is being orchestrating by radicals like Cory Heidelberger in the name of "education". Indoctrinations of this kind is why it cost more and more to fund public schools.

Cory Heidelberger's purpose is to destroy South Dakota's conservative culture. And he is willing to use suicides to promote fear in doing so. This is an example of establishing a "New Age Theocracy" or what Cory calls "Madville".

 

Only seven State Senators supported the smoke out on Constitutional Carry

From the 2/24/2015 South Dakota Senate Journal:

 Sen. Jensen (Phil) moved that the Committee on Judiciary be instructed to deliver HB 1116 to the floor of the Senate, pursuant to Joint Rule 7-7.

    Which motion lost.

A comment left on this web site gives more details:

South Dakota Gun Owners is reporting the results of a "smoke out" attempt on HB 1116  The only legislators who stood in support of the Constitutional Carry bill was Senators Omdahl, Hagger, Greenfield, Jensen, Monroe, Olson, and Rampelberg

Please let the public know the rest of the senators were happy to support gun control.

Just prior to the smoke out attempt, the Senate Journal recorded a vote:

Yeas 35, Nays 0, Excused 0, Absent 0

    Yeas: Bradford; Brown; Buhl O'Donnell; Cammack; Curd; Ewing; Frerichs; Greenfield (Brock); Haggar (Jenna); Haverly; Heineman (Phyllis); Heinert; Holien; Hunhoff (Bernie); Jensen (Phil); Lederman; Monroe; Novstrup (David); Olson; Omdahl; Otten (Ernie); Parsley; Peters; Peterson (Jim); Rampelberg; Rave; Rusch; Soholt; Solano; Sutton; Tidemann; Tieszen; Van Gerpen; Vehle; White

    So the motion having received an affirmative vote of a majority of the members-elect, the President declared the motion carried and SCR 7 was adopted.

So all Senators were available to support the motion, but only seven upheld their oath of office and supported the Second Amendment's right to bear arms. That right is alos in South Dakota's Constitution. The other 28 Senators need to be held accountable now and during the next eection cycle.

Also note that it passed the House 44 to 23.

Pay the teachers more so that they can lead a student revolution against the Constitutions

As predicted, Cory Heidelberger is celebrating the lack of respect the South Dakota legislature has for the Constitutional right to bear arms:

The Legislature has now killed six bills dealing with concealed weapons in their titles (previous dust-biters: HB 1108, HB 1183, HB 1206, and SB 162). Only two concealed weapons bills have survived: HB 1215, creating an enhanced concealed weapons permit, is headed for Senate committee, while the Governor has signed Senate Bill 12, making it easier for military spouses to get concealed weapons permits.

I cheer the Legislature's possibly growing willingness to say no to the NRA. Now how about developing the will to say yes to the NEA? The Legislature seems to have floated more bills to put guns in people's pockets than to put more money in teachers' pockets.

As reported earlier, the Board of Regents used the Student Federation to defeat Constitutional rights on South Dakota campuses. That post got a lot of Facebook attention. Clearly the socialist revolutionaries are using the education system to indoctrinate the kids into attacking the Constitutions.  Cory wants more money for teachers to fund the revolution.

Cory Heidelberger is confused about what is South Dakota Progress

Cory Heidelberger reports on a new South Dakota political movement:

If we can't find enough Democrats in enough districts for that task, are we willing to back progressive Republicans?

South Dakota Progress is, says SDP chair Katrina Wilke:

The goal is to fill ballots with the names of Democrats or even progressive Republicans.

“We would find them,” she said. “We wouldn’t just wait for them to come to us. We would look for people who are really active in their community.”

Candidates would receive training and seed money to begin their campaigns. The belief is candidates will do better if they are financially supported immediately [Roger Larsen, "S.D. Progress Seeks Dem Candidates for Local Offices: New Group in Early Stages of Formation," Huron Plainsman, 2015.02.21].

That wicket is tricky from all angles. South Dakota Progress will need to convince its donor base that any Republicans it backs are really good sheep in wolves' clothing. SDP will have to be confident and make others confident that "progressive Republicans" receiving SDP support can be counted on to put progressive principles over the diktats of the Republican leadership that stands in the way of progressive legislation.

Cory's first misunderstanding is that the current Republican leadership are so-called "progressive Republicans". Cory wants to take the Fabian socialist agenda and put it into a full blown revolution. That would wake up the sleeping conservative South Dakotan.

Katrina Wilke leaves a comment that straighten outs Cory's other misunderstanding:

I wanted to take this opportunity to clarify our position. SD Progress can only support registered Democrats per the current draft of our bylaws.

However, here is what SD Progress can do that the SDDP can’t, we can recruit progressive Republicans to become Democrats. There have been many recent cases where Republicans have converted because the views of the GOP/Tea Party no longer align with their own views or those of their constituents.

Also, as a group apart from the SDDP, the idea of garnering some financial support from moderate Republicans interested in curtailing the rightest of their wing is not farfetched and is something we discussed pursuing.

So they are not going to support "progressive (liberal)" Republicans unless they change their stripes to Democrat. This would be like gays coming out of the closet. No liberal Republican, whose political success is based on fooling conservatives that he/she is a conservative, is going to out themselves and declare what they truly are...a liberal Democrat. Second, the SDGOP Establishment has already neutered the power of the 2004 conservative movement that took down Tom Daschle, and the extra energy it got when Obama passed the Stimulus bill in 2009. Third, the crony capitalists of the SDGOP Establishment has the most important thing that conservative and Democrats don't have...money. They are using that money to defeat true conservatives in the GOP primary, as Daugaard attempted to do in 2012 and 2014.

Again, we have Cory Heidelberger promoting a political strategy that will only foster the continued dominance of the liberal tax and spend crony capitalist Republicans. He is helping them out by demonizing and radicalizing true conservatives. And trying to get him to understand that reality will only get you banned from commenting at Madville. That way, his readers can go through life without a clue as to what is going on. What they call "progressive" is not progress, but rather more enslavement to the ruling elites and their crony capitalist Fabian socialism.

And I have some research coming up soon that will fully explain who is really behind the Progressive Movement. And that will also bring understanding to the joint effort by South Dakota Democrats and the liberal SDGOP Establishment to destroy the Constitutional Republic of South Dakota. It stands in the way of their continued implementation of Fabian socialism.

A combination of Democrats and liberal Republicans derailed the attempt to end South Dakota's involvement with Common Core

Common Core is one issue that Cory Heidelberger and I agree on. Sadly, he can't get the Democratic legislators to understand:

I got no support from my fellow Democrats last week when I urged them to vote for House Bill 1223 and end the state's involvement in Common Core. My fellow Democrats now have a chance to rectify that error by supporting Rep. Dan Kaiser's effort to resurrect that bill and bring it to the House floor for debate.

The effort to smoke out HB 1223 failed today. From the Journal:

The question being on Rep. Kaiser's motion that HB 1223 be placed on the calendar of Wednesday, February 25, the 27^th legislative day, pursuant to Joint Rule 6F-6.

    And the roll being called:

    Yeas 31, Nays 39, Excused 0, Absent 0

    Yeas: Anderson; Beal; Bolin; Brunner; Campbell; Craig; DiSanto; Feickert; Gosch; Greenfield (Lana); Haggar (Don); Haugaard; Hickey; Hunt; Kaiser; Klumb; Langer; Latterell; Marty; May; Novstrup (Al); Qualm; Rasmussen; Russell; Schaefer; Stalzer; Verchio; Westra; Wiik; Zikmund; Speaker Wink

    Nays: Bartling; Bordeaux; Conzet; Cronin; Deutsch; Dryden; Duvall; Gibson; Harrison; Hawks; Hawley; Heinemann (Leslie); Holmes; Hunhoff (Jean); Jensen (Alex); Johns; Killer; Kirschman; McCleerey; Mickelson; Munsterman; Otten (Herman); Partridge; Peterson (Kent); Ring; Romkema; Rounds; Rozum; Schoenbeck; Schoenfish; Schrempp; Sly; Soli; Solum; Stevens; Tulson; Werner; Willadsen; Wollmann

    So the motion not having received an affirmative vote of a majority of the members-elect, the Speaker declared the motion lost.

The only Democrat to join the 30 conservatives in favor of HB 1223 was Rep. Feickert. The other eleven Democrats lined up with the 28 liberal Republicans to protect the continuance of Common Core in South Dakota.

If only 5 more Democrats would have understood that Common Core is part of the crony capitalist agenda, the bill could have gotten floor debate. This shows how wrong Cory Heidelberger's political agenda that demonizes conservatives is. My efforts, while allowed to make comments at Madville, to show the Democrats that they need to work together with limited government conservatives failed. That means that the SDGOP establishment dominance will continue, as will their prized Common Core subsidized workforce training program for global corporatists, or what the Democrats correctly call corporate welfare.

I am preparing a post that will show that the so-called Progressives, are not just socialist Democrats, but also include the liberal tax and spend crony capitalist Republicans. This year's South Dakota legislative session is demonstrating that this is indeed true.

Pat Powers is reporting more attacks on the Constitutional right to bear arms happened this morning in Pierre

I bet the death of two pro-gun bills, as being reported by Pat Powers, were the result of the minority Democrats joining in with liberal Republicans. Stay tune for the vote results and coverage of the celebration at Madville.

Update: Here are those who testified:

Proponents:    John Commerford, National Rifle Association Of America
        Brandon L. Maddox, Sioux Falls, self
Opponents:    Staci Ackerman, South Dakota Sheriffs Association
        Tom Fridley, Sanborn County Sheriff, Woonsocket
        Bill Stahl, Sully County Sheriff, Onida
        Kevin Thom, Pennington County Sheriff, Rapid City
        Dana Svendsen, Department of Public Safety
        Yvonne Taylor, South Dakota Police Chiefs Association

Here are those who voted to kill the bills:

Bradford, Heinert, Rusch, Vehle, Novstrup (David), Tieszen

The only conservative who voted in support of the pro-gun bills was Senator Monroe. Again we have liberals in both parties coming together to attack the constitutions of South Dakota and the United States.

Cory Heidelberger an atheist who claims to be a Biblical scholar calls Rep. Dan Kaiser a heretic

Here is the latest on Cory Heidelberger's crusade to destroy South Dakota's Constitutional Republic:

I don't need to consult my Reverend wife to know that Jesus handed out bread and wine, not guns and ammo, at the Last Supper.

Rep. Dan Kaiser (R-3/Aberdeen), a co-sponsor of HB 1116, committed the same constitutional and theological errors in comments at Saturday's Aberdeen crackerbarrel:

Right now, you can legally open carry anywhere in South Dakota, so all of a sudden it’s illegal if your sport coat is over your pistol. The Second Amendment is clear — you have a right to bear and carry arms. I don’t understand how you can outline rights given to you by God and then you have to ask permission from the state to exercise those rights [Rep. Dan Kaiser, statement at crackerbarrel, reported by Bryan Howarth, "Lawmakers Debate Guns, Common Core," Aberdeen American News, 2015.02.22].

The right to bear arms exists in the national constitutions of three countries. Ours comes from a Bill of Rights written 226 years ago. It is far form a divine commandment.

The Second Amendment, like every other amendment, is not absolute. Nor is it Scripture.

We all know there were no guns and ammo during the times of Jesus Christ and the Last Supper. But they did have swords. Here is the theological truth:

At the last supper, Jesus' final instructions to the apostles begin: "When I sent you without purse, bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?" "Nothing," the apostles answer. Jesus continues: "But now, if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." He ends by observing "what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment." The apostles then announce, "Lord, behold, here are two swords," and Jesus cuts them off: "That is enough." (Luke 22: 36-38).

Even if the passage is read with absolute literalness, Jesus was not setting up a rule that every apostle must carry a sword (or a purse or a bag). For the eleven, two swords were "enough." More importantly, Jesus may not have been issuing an actual command that anybody carry swords, or purses, or bags. The broader, metaphorical point being made by Jesus was that the apostles would, after Jesus was gone, have to take care of their own worldly needs to some degree. The purse (generally used for money), the bag (generally used for clothing and food), and the sword (generally used for protection against the robbers who preyed on travelers, including missionaries, in the open country between towns) are all examples of tools used to take care of such needs. When the apostles took Jesus literally, and started showing him their swords, Jesus, frustrated that they missed the metaphor, ended the discussion. The metaphorical interpretation is supported by scholarly analysis, and seems to best account for the entire conversation.

Even when reduced to metaphor, however, the passage still contradicts the rigid pacifist viewpoint. In the metaphor, the sword, like the purse or the bag, is treated as an ordinary item for any person to carry. If weapons and defensive violence were illegitimate under all circumstances, Jesus would not have instructed the apostles to carry swords, even in metaphor, any more than Jesus would have created metaphors suggesting that people carry Ba'al statues for protection, or that they metaphorically rape, rob, and murder.

A few hours after the final instructions to the apostles, when soldiers arrived to arrest Jesus, and Peter sliced off the ear of one of their leaders, Jesus healed the ear. He then said "No more of this" (Luke 22: 49-51) or "Put your sword away" (John 18: 10) or "Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword" (Matthew 26: 52). (The quotation is sometimes rendered as "He who lives by the sword will die by the sword.") Jesus then rebuked the soldiers for effecting the arrests with clubs and swords, for Jesus was "not leading a rebellion."

The most immediate meaning of these passages is that Jesus was preventing interference with God's plan for the arrest and trial. Additionally, Jesus was instructing the apostles not to begin an armed revolt against the local dictatorship or the Roman imperialists. Jesus had already refused the Zealots' urging to lead a war of national liberation.

Do the passages also suggest a general prohibition against drawing swords (or other weapons) for defense? The versions of the story recounted in Luke and John do not, but the version in Matthew could be so read. If Matthew is analyzed along the lines of "He who lives by the sword will die by the sword," the passage is an admonition that a person who centers his life on violence (such as a gang member) will likely perish. On the other hand, a translation of "all who draw the sword will die by the sword" could be read as a general rule against armed violence in any situation.

The best way to understand the Bible, most theologians would concur, is not to look at passages in isolation, but instead to carefully study passages in the context of the rest of the Bible. If the single line in Matthew were to be read to indicate that to draw the sword is always wrong, then it would be difficult to account for the other passages which suggest that drawing a sword as a soldier (or carrying a sword as an apostle) is not illegitimate.

According to Cory Heidelberger's out of context false teachings, the police could not be Christians today. I doubt his wife, a newly ordained ELCA false pastor, has the theological ability to straighten out her husband. Deb Geelsdottir, also a ELCA false pastor leaves this comment supporting Heidelberger's falsehoods:

Terrorist Islamists would be proud of the steps the American Christianists are taking.

I am ashamed of what the American Christianists are doing.

More to come of the Biblical prohibition on female pastors. If Cory wants to use his wife's status as female pastor as a means to justify his rebellion against South Dakota's Constitutional Republic, then I am not attacking his family by exposing his wife's heresies, along with their sidekick Deb Geelsdottir. I am trying to prevent others from being indoctrinated by their false teachings. Cory is using them to discredit conservative Christians in South Dakota. The fool does not care that we are the ones who are standing up to the SDGOP crony capitalists.

So here is yet another example of why I have been banned from commenting at Madville. The Biblical truth is an enemy to those liberals.

There is no teacher shortage in South Dakota, the problem is we have too many teachers now

Cory Heidelberger is in spin mode again as the real problem of small class size regarding the teacher issue in South Dakota is being discussed more and more often:

Smaller class sizes are worth spending some money. Smaller class sizes are also unavoidable in smaller districts where fluctuations from grade to grade may have the lone fourth-grade teacher working with sixteen kids one year and just eight the next. Check the expenditure-per-student data for South Dakota schools, and you'll see most of the big spenders are smaller districts, while most of the big districts (which can more easily smooth out fluctuating student populations across classrooms) are on the lower end of the expenditure rankings.

Mitchell superintendent Joe Graves was hinting at the class size issue last week when he proposed solving the teacher shortage by getting rid of more public school teachers. If they have to pay teachers more, South Dakota Republicans would love to do it by paying fewer teachers.

I spent the first five years of school in a one room country school with one teacher and eight grades. I still managed to obtain a masters in accounting. Clearly the smaller schools can get by with fewer teachers, by combing grades. By doing so, we can pay the good ones more, get rid of the slackers, and the quality of education will be the better for it. We can also get rid of the teachers that shares Cory Heidelberger's mission to implement a student revolution that is designed to completely destroy South Dakota's Constitutional Republic.
