Did any of you catch the editorial in the Dakota Scout the other day? Where the author went after former State Representative Fred Deutsch for being too liberal because he didn’t want to throw women in jail if they have an abortion?
It appears Mr. Deutsch doesn’t believe in legal consequences for the murder of an unborn child. A child, like the rest of us, is created in the image of our God Most High. A child is holy as it forms in the womb.
and..
We have become so influenced by the world’s idea of tolerance that we think by calling sin what it is and by expecting accountability for it, it makes us somehow hateful. Making public statements based on emotion over the word of God guides people down a path of destruction far from obedience to God.
and..
We cannot any longer be afraid of holding individuals at a higher degree of accountability when killing an unborn child for the only reason of not being ready or willing to be a parent.
So, basically, the author, Patty Shiery is going after Fred for not wanting to charge women with murder if they have an abortion. If you’ve forgotten, the bill that was proposed this last session to do just – HB 1212 – that was considered so bat***t crazy, that it put all of the following on the same side to oppose it:
- Dale Allen Bartscher, South Dakota Right to Life
- Jenna Spellerberg, Self
- Leah Anderson, Self
- Michael G. Pauley, South Dakota Catholic Conference
- Representative Al Novstrup
- Ian Fury, Governor’s Office
- Justin Bell, South Dakota State Medical Association
- Ellie J. Bailey, South Dakota Advocacy Network for Women
- Samantha Chapman, American Civil Liberties Union Foundation Inc
- Norman Woods, South Dakota Family Voice Action
- Linda Schauer, Concerned Women for America
If a proposal is so nuts it puts SDRTL, the ACLU, the SD Advocacy Network for Women, and the Concerned Women for America ALL on the same page to oppose a bill, safe to say it’s probably a little extreme. But, as you can read, that’s not what Patty thinks.
Why do we care? Because Patty Shiery just filed to run for the State Senate in the District 8 Republican Primary. That’s how bad this primary race is getting. But if that doesn’t dissuade you.. I do remember the post I did last time she was thinking about running for office in 2023:
- And in a blast from the past, former State Representative Patricia (Stricherz) Shiery formed a committee yesterday to run for District 8 State Senate. Shiery, under her former married name Stricherz served in the House from 2011 – 2012. And she was just a peach. One former House speaker told me the story where she had demanded to know what the state spent heating the Capitol Lake. Since then, she has denied the tale, but that’s how the story was related to me. (BTW, Capitol Lake is a naturally warm body of water heated by underground artesian wells. Taxpayers don’t pay to keep it warm.). Since then, she ran unsuccessfully in District 30 in the 2018 Republican Senate Primary (coming in 3rd with 12.7%), before moving back to the Madison area.
Yep. As noted, this is the same person whom a Speaker of the House related the tale to me where she was demanding to know what the state spent heating the Capitol Lake. So, make a point to get your checkbook out and start writing your check to:
Crabtree for SD
115 Woodland Drive
Madison, SD 57042
You and a lot of other people will be glad you did.
The capitol lake crazy lady is back! Oh man, that could be kind of fun……for no one! Lol
Could you imagine what she would have done with this last class of legislators!
It’s time to reinstate the adults, South Dakota!
VOTE JUNE 2!!!
The former Representative that wanted to know “how much the state spends to heat Capitol lake?”
Can’t make this us.
The District numbered 30, the insanest district of them all, is glad to have ejected this crazed woman. I would not put it past the District numbered 9 to seat her again, if they are not paying attention.
There’s going to be a run on tinfoil in madison, of she really moved back there. She brings a, hard to believe, whole new crazy to politics
She tended to vote with Democrats. In fact she told me she was so simpatico with them, they even told her she should switch parties, but she said she could never do that because she’s always been a Republican. At the time, I figured she didn’t know what she was.
Word was she always voted according to the last person she talked to.
GOP. Where nutty people want in. We must keep them out.
Dylan Jordan used a personal privilege yesterday to recognize her from the house floor. Birds of a feather…
hmmm
so, the crazies have recruited her to run against Crabtree.
Nobody’s seen this nut job in Madison. She’s either living in a cave or she’s ineligible to even be on the ballot.
