Senator Jerry Apa gives the ACLU heck. (once again)

From today's Rapid City Journal letters to the editor:
Fact, not opinion

My erstwhile critic, William H. Fuller (Dec. 26 letter), stated, opinions do not always express the truth. He proceeded to prove his very words.

He claimed Roger Baldwin disavowed the radical left in 1939; but did he? I think not!

Peggy Lamson, the author of "Roger Baldwin Founder of the American Civil Liberties Union," questioned him about his renowned quote, "Communism is the goal." He responded, "Well I wouldn't take exception to that statement even today if it had been expressed less violently." The biography was printed in 1976, 37 years after Mr. Baldwin, according to Mr. Fuller's opinion, not fact, had renounced the radical left.

Don't forget Lynne Stewart, an ACLU lawyer, has been convicted and jailed for being a courier for Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the convicted mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and overseas terrorist organizations. At her trial she stated: "I think my client is more important than the law. My cause is more important that the lives of innocent people."

I believe her quote expresses the ACLU's utter contempt and total disregard for the safety of the United States and the American people.

Sen. JERRY APA
Lead
More yet to come? We'll see.

I don't think we will ever get rid of the ACLU, but we should change the law that allows it to collect any federal money to support its crackpot cases.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
