  • What kind of man reads Sibby Online?

    Badlands Blue


    - Openly paranoid of secular humanists, direct eye contact, reality-based science and the Trilateral Commission?

    - Wish you were in a committed relationship so that someone would routinely shave your apish back and other hard to reach places?

    - Dream frequently about a threesome between [...]

  • Making You Pay for My Rights

    Dakota Voice

    In America we have since the birth of our country recognized that we are endowed with certain inalienable rights from our Creator. We do not have a right, however, to diminish the rights of another person. In other words, we do not have the right to force another person to [...]

  • The Continuing Federal Land Grab

    Dakota Voice

    Number of comments: 1
    The use and abuse of the Antiquities Act, legislation which dates back to the time of Teddy Roosevelt, is nothing new. Little consideration seems to be given to how these federal land grabs will affect property rights, loss of state revenue, job creation and local economies.

    Here are some excerpts:

    ... We've been here before. In fact, a' [...]

  • Open wide: Dems plan to ram it down whole

    Dakota Voice

    Number of comments: 3
    The Slaughter Rule would allow House members to avoid going on the record as having voted for health care reform, complete with language that allows government payment for elective abortions. This is an under-handed, disingenuous attempt to shove this monstrosity down the throats of Americans who have made it very [...]

  • Legislature in holding pattern

    Behind Govt Lines

    The Joint Appropriations Committee just met at 8:15 a.m. for just long enough to recess, saying they don't yet have enough information to start hearing bills.

  • Obama today, like FDR in the 1930s

    Sibby Online

    Thomas Sowell knows the myth about FDR saving America from the Great Depression. Again, this conservative economist knows FDR helped create the Great Depression:

  • Some flood prayer specifics

    Northern Plains Anglicans

    Looks like the flood threats right now are along the James River - especially around the city of Huron, SD. Also the area around Mitchell - that city actually had to relocate several miles from where it was founded due to the "Jim's" penchant for flooding. Please keep up the' [...]
