America, once “Divine Blessed,” Today, knows not God nor His “Works”
- By Bill Watkins
“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.”
(Genesis 1:28)
“And there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.”
(Judges 2:10)
To understand American history one must approach the subject from realization that first immigrants to America were Caucasian, predominately European, and descendents of Noah’s son, Japheth.
At the time of the Great Flood, God chose to save only Noah, his wife, three sons, Shem, Ham, Japheth, and their wives—a total eight people of the earth’s total inhabitants.
Sorry, Rudy! We Learned nothing from your Experience
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
LaVerle turned to me one evening recently and said: “I believe we already have a dictatorship.”
She said what I have been reluctant to even think. If we can believe the election results, a majority of the American people who bothered to register and vote elected Barack Obama to a second 4-year term as president of the United States. How could that have happened in view of his actions during the first four- year term?

Zais Speaks to Greenville Tea Party
- By James "Chip" Moore
When South Carolina State Superintendent of Education Dr. Mick Zais was elected to office he said, “To the best of my ability I will try to run the department like a business.”
Since being in office Zais has made progress in reorganizing agencies and has made the department more efficient. By reducing the size and cost of the department, Zais is able to put that money into the classroom. While speaking to the Greenville Tea Party on Thursday, November 29, 2012, he explained that 577 staff positions have been reduced down to 469. The reduction in size is permanent and permission from the General Assembly is needed to add any more positions. Zais stated that he is not done and will be eliminating more positions by not continuing them after they expire.

- By Tammy Johnston
Lois Keenan, Firefighter from River Falls Fire Department, Marietta, SC, received the coveted Firefighter of the Year award from her Fire Chief, David Emory, at their Christmas Firefighter Dinner this past Saturday evening. She is only the second woman in the 26-year history of the fire department to receive this prestigious award.
She recounts the moment that led up to the award. “I was not sure it was me. When they called my name, I was beside myself. I had tears in my eyes, and I could not stop grinning. I danced up to David Emory and thanked him, “So many other firefighters deserve this award more than me. I felt honored and proud that I was chosen to have received this award.”
Veterans Honored at A Veterans Appreciation Ceremony
- By Pam Evans
Joseph Evan Davis Chapter #907, Children of the Confederacy, Honors Veterans at November Veterans Appreciation Ceremony
The Creed of the Children of the Confederacy Organization states:
“Because we desire to perpetuate, in love and honor, the heroic deeds of those who enlisted in the Confederate Services, and upheld its flag through four years of war, we, the children of the South, have united in an Organization called the “Children of the Confederacy,” in which our strength, enthusiasm and love of justice can exert its influence. We therefore pledge ourselves to preserve pure ideas: to honor the memory of our beloved Veterans: to study and teach the truths of history (one of the most important of which is, that the War Between the States was not a rebellion, nor was its underlying cause to sustain slavery). And always to act in a manner that will reflect honor upon our noble and patriotic ancestors.”
There They Go Again!
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Obama killed Osama, saved General Motors for the Auto Workers Union, gave homosexuals protected status, promised to legalize millions of illegal aliens, stonewalled Congress on “Fast and Furious” and “Bengazi,” sued sovereign states, ignored the Constitution and somehow won a second term as President of the United States.
Now the Obama Administration and supporters have advice for the moderate liberals running the National Republican Party. “To win future elections, you must become more like us.” The moderate Republicans are swallowing the bait as if they were mindless guppies. They are grateful that the Socialist Democrats are so friendly and helpful. Now, finally, they can work together and compromise to solve the nation’s problems and win a share of elections.

Voter Fraud Helped Win the Election
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Did voter fraud help Barack Obama win a second term as president of the United States? To me, the answer is a definite “Yes!”
Why would I say that? Can it be proven? Again, I believe the answer is “Yes!” The evidence I have seen without a formal search is overwhelming. All of the Obama special interest groups, from the NAACP to the ACLU and the labor unions fought every effort of states to prevent voter fraud. They were joined in their opposition to voter ID laws by none other than the Attorney General of the United States and the Justice Department.
Graham Responds to Obama
- By James "Chip" Moore
After comments from President Obama were directed to him regarding Ambassador Susan Rice, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham made himself available to the media on Monday, November 19, 2012, at his office building located in downtown Greenville, so that he could respond.
“Regarding President Obama’s statement about Senator McCain and myself, I just want the President to know that I do hold him ultimately responsible for what happened in Benghazi, above all others. And I think him calling out myself and Senator McCain is a political diversion. He has an obligation to tell the American people what he knew, when he knew it, and what he did about it. He’s yet to fulfill this obligation,” said Graham.

Greenville County Chicken Ordinance Dead – For Now
- By James "Chip" Moore and Bob Dill
Council Majority Fouled by their Own Rules

Following the vote, the County Attorney reminded the Chairman that the particular motion required 8 votes in favor according to Council rules.

Singleton’s topic was the historically factual Abraham Lincoln, not the mythical Lincoln featured in Bill O’Riley books and Stephen Speelburg movies.
How Did Obama Win a Second Term?
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
We have been informed that President Barack Hussein Obama has won a second term as president of the United States. Joseph Farah and others insist that the election was won through voter fraud. There is much evidence to support that conclusion, however, that ignores the rest of the story. Many factors had a role in the Obama win.
Democrats and misguided Republicans place the blame for the GOP loss on failure of Republicans to identify with and cater to those of the black and brown races, homosexuals and single women seeking abortions and government provided birth control and other benefits. Their argument has some validity but is not the solution to GOP losses.

Reece was a petition candidate who attempted to convince the public that she was a Republican. The attempt obviously failed. She was challenging the choice of Republican voters in a hotly contested primary.

President and Cabinet must be Held Accountable for Benghazi Betrayal
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Regardless of the outcome of the presidential election, President Obama and his cabinet must be held accountable for the betrayal and abandonment of the American Ambassador and others in Benghazi, Libya.
This is a national security matter of the highest order. Americans in uniform have lost trust in their Commander-in-Chief and top civilian and military leaders. Cabinet members with the possible exception of the CIA are puppets of President Obama who put them in power.
Gowdy brings attention to Executive Branch Abuses
- By James "Chip" Moore
Congressman speaks to Greenville Tea Party
When Congressman Trey Gowdy spoke to the Greenville Tea Party on Thursday, November 1st, 2012, there were several abuses he wanted to make sure the crowd knew about. Those topics were Solyndra, manipulating the debt ceiling, recess appointments, and immigration.
A firm believer that the government should not be in the structure of picking winners and losers from the business end, Gowdy gave the example of Solyndra going bankrupt after $527 million in aid was given from the government. Gowdy believes that the government should wear a blindfold when it comes to handing out aid where grants are awarded by merits, and the executive branch shouldn’t fill out the applications for organizations like what has happened in the past.Administration Stonewalling on Benghazi Terrorist Attack

What Did the President Know, When Did He Know it, and What Did He Do About it?

Ambassador Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans, including two former Navy Seals working for the CIA, were massacred in a battle that lasted some seven hours.
For several weeks, the Obama Administration claimed the attack grew out of a spontaneous demonstration in reaction to a video critical of Mohammed.
