Best to keep the pro-aborts out of the state anyway. Can't trust 'em around the kids and they scare the animals anyway.

received a dozen e-mails and a number of angry phone calls

At this rate, the state's tourism industry will go broke in like, 1,000 years! Hit the panic button!

As if there was anything for a liberal in South Dakota anyway. It's not as if they would care to see Mount Rushmore since it's just four dead white guys to them.

“We planned to take our two boys to share with them this very special place,” she wrote Friday

"Instead we will take our two boys out back and kill them using a saline solution".

It's always helpful when a liberal boycotts a destination. Lets you know where you can take the family.

And how many liberals visit South Dakota? After all, the place does not contain the perversions that liberals enjoy (cross dressing freaks, child molesters, and the like).

Louise Jezierski of Okemos, Mich

Professor Jezierski's deeply respectful comments on Ronald Reagan, a mere week after his death. Most of her stats are out of context or pure crap (the unemployment rate very early in Reagan's term, due to the recession caused by Carter's stagflation, hit 7.5%, etc).

http://www.lansingcitypulse.com/040616/features/index.asp

MSU urban sociologist Louise Jezierski notes that “the outrageousness of some of this stuff is just amazing.” Reagan’s social policies increased both poverty and homelessness. He drastically cut Aid for Families with Dependent Children AFDC and food stamp programs. He also greatly decreased government expenditures on public and low-income housing when he cut HUD’s budget from $74 billion to $19 billion.

Reagan also engineered the change from AFDC to TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). Under TANF, the federal government gave block grants for welfare to each state. Each state then formulated its own welfare regulations. The result is that welfare battles have to be done on a state-by-state basis.

Cities were faced with the harshest realities of declining social welfare. Federal funding to cities was cut by 60 percent. The ongoing deindustrialization of the United States had created a deep recession. “Unemployment nationwide was 7.5 percent; that was double in cities, double for African-Americans”Jezierski said,

Reagan was unwilling to combat the growing problem of homelessness. During his time in office, the number of homeless people increased to around 600,000. The federal government wouldn’t support the social safety net anymore. “He said homelessness is a choice, and people should find a park bench to sleep on,” Jezierski said.

What kind of statement of boycott are they going to issue?

"We and our non-existant offspring refuse to go to South Dakota for the rest of our generation"
