Welcome to the Freedom Poet

Dakota Voice welcomes the Freedom Poet to the blogosphere fray!

Without the Freedom Poet, there likely would not have been a Dakota Voice...and I'm sure that immediately endears him to liberals far and wide.

I met the Freedom Poet a little over three years ago while he was laying the groundwork to bring Alan Keyes to South Dakota to speak. When the Freedom Poet came to Rapid City, he saw some of my rantings in the letters to the editor (or a Forum piece; I can't remember which) of the Rapid City Journal. During our subsequent conversations that summer, he planted the idea of a Christian newspaper in my mind and a few months later, when the opportunity presented itself, Dakota Voice was born.

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone more knowledgeable about this nation's history or its Christian heritage. Facts that I know how to research, he knows off the top of his head. It would also be difficult to find someone more patriotic, someone who loves this country more. He has worked in the campaigns of some of the most principled men in America.

I look forward to the Freedom Poet's future posts here at Dakota Voice.
