Bold Signs of Encouragement
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“All that is needed for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.”
After a long season of lethargy, disinterest and tolerance, the American people are beginning to pay attention, communicate and take action. The question for which we have no answer remains: “Is it too late?”
There are signs of encouragement and indications that the American people may once again be willing to take whatever action is necessary to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States in order to preserve the constitutional republic that has been the bastion of freedom in the world for more than 200 years.
Lying Propaganda
- By Walter Williams
Michael Moore's new film, "Capitalism: A Love Story" will be released next month. I've neither seen nor read reviews of the film, except for a short piece in the London Telegraph (9/6/09) titled "Michael Moore film calls capitalism evil." Aware of Michael Moore's previous films, I know that it will be at best a misleading story about capitalism. So let's do some defensive mental preparation, not about the film but what is and what is not capitalism.
Capitalism is an economic system characterized by private ownership and control over the means of production. The distribution of goods and services and their prices are mainly determined by competition in a free market. Under such a system the primary job of government is to protect private property, enforce contracts and ensure rule of law.
ACORN Watch: A "Sting"-ing Indictment of Media Hypocrisy
- By Michelle Malkin
Undercover journalism is only acceptable when it fits a liberal agenda. That is the message from "professional" reporters and left-wing activists outraged about three successful video stings targeting President Obama's old friends at the left-wing tax-subsidized outfit ACORN.
Conservative documentarian James O'Keefe and writer Hannah Giles, working for the BigGovernment.com website, posed as a pimp and prostitute during visits to ACORN offices in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Brooklyn. ACORN housing officials and tax advisers offered them brazen suggestions on how to lie on their applications, disguise their income, obscure their child sex-ring business and hide cash from abusive johns. ("When you buy the house with the backyard, you get a tin," an ACORN counselor in New York told Giles, "and you bury it down in there, cover it and put the grass over it.")
To Lose a War
- By Pat Buchanan
While America was consumed this summer with quarrels over town-hall radicals, "death panels," the "public option" and racism's role in the plunging polls of Barack, what happens to health care is not going to change the history of the world.
What happens in Afghanistan might.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal has done his duty. He has bluntly told his commander in chief what he must have in added combat troops and warned that if he does not get them, America faces "mission failure."
Obama's Plan to Spread the Wealth
- By Phyllis Schlafly
When Barack Obama told Joe the Plumber he planned to "spread the wealth around," many people didn't realize he was not talking about spreading the wealth only of the super-rich. Now that Obama is elected, he is moving rapidly to expand welfare handouts for non-taxpayers, running up a tremendous national debt that will inevitably lead to higher taxes on the Middle Class.
The enormity of this transfer of money away from working, taxpaying Americans to non-taxpayers (who voted overwhelmingly for Obama for President in 2008) has just been detailed in a sensational 53-page report by Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation. There are not enough superlatives in the English language to adequately describe the colossal amounts of money involved in the Obama Administration's shocking cash transfers.
The Fall Feasts Season
- By Dr. Al Snyder
Three special feasts, all ordained by God Himself, are celebrated at this time of year by the Jewish people of Israel. It is a very special time of the year.
The Feast of Trumpets is the first of the three. It comes on New Year's Day on the modern Jewish calendar, and in Hebrew it is called, Rosh HaShanah. God instructed Moses: "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month ye shall have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation." (Leviticus 23:24)
Dean Allen Campaign Hosts “Machine Gun Social”
- By Jeff West
Dean Allen, candidate for S.C. Adjutant General, held a Machine Gun Social at Allen Arms Indoor Range at 1210 Poinsett Hwy on Saturday. Twenty-five dollars bought supporters a BBQ meal and a full ammo clip to shoot through the automatic weapon of their choice. The event was packed with about 200 people, many of whom were anxious to shoot a machine gun for their first time. Despite the overflow crowd, range owner Frank Allen and his staff handled the proceedings professionally and safely. Ron’s Hog Pen BBQ of Spartanburg supplied an excellent meal, and a drawing was held for a free AK-47 at the conclusion of the event.
See You At The Pole at Greenville Classical Academy
- By Press Release
Students and faculty of Greenville Classical Academy in Simpsonville came together on Wednesday, September 23rd for "See You at the Pole," an annual event held every September. A short program next to a newly-erected flagpole consisted of raising the American flag, readings by various students, a time of prayer, and everyone joining together to say the Pledge of Allegiance.
DeMint Receives Enthusiastic Welcome
- By Bob Dill
DeMint: ‘We Have Got to Stop the Takeover of Healthcare.’
Greenville County Republican Women and their guests gave Senator Jim DeMint a hero’s welcome when he arrived to speak at their luncheon Monday at the Poinsett Club.
GCRWC President Geri Warren introduced DeMint as “the true leader of the Conservative movement leading the fight against that liberal firestorm that is trying to destroy capitalism and lead our country down the path of socialism.”
The three-hundred people attending the luncheon joined Warren in a lengthy standing ovation when she commended DeMint for having “consistently and effectively fought for the values that we treasure in South Carolina such as individual liberty, smaller government, a strong national defense and our traditional values.”

- By Bob Dill
Event Sponsored by Upstate Young Republicans

Conservative Leadership Conference Held in Raleigh
- By Jeff West
The fourth annual North Carolina Conservative Leadership Conference was held in Raleigh, N.C. on September 11-12. It was sponsored by the N.C. Civitas Institute (see www.nccivitas.org), a conservative think tank started by retailer John William Pope promoting free markets and limited, honest government. There were numerous famous and informative speakers including: journalist Trent Seibert, who exposed Al Gore’s outlandish electric bill; John Fund of the Wall St. Journal; Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform; former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean; Muslim terrorist expert Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch; and Dr. Jennifer Morse, president of the Ruth Institute promoting Biblical marriage. There were also various sessions on useful topics such as how to expose government corruption.
Adams, Dill Mark Constitution Day in Anderson
- By Bobby & Erica Woods
The Anderson County Constitution Meet Up Group met at Ryan’s in Anderson on September 17, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. A fantastic group of energetic, freedom-loving constitutionalists turned out for what proved to be an exciting and thought-provoking evening.
Pastor Tony Romo kicked off the evening at 7:00 p.m. with a welcome and asked each attendee to introduce themselves and briefly share their political involvement. Two of the attendees traveled to be part of the “Tea-Party” in Washington, D. C., one on a bus and the other on his motorcycle. Another individual was involved in the Ron Paul campaign. Some attendees are fairly new to the political scene while others have been freedom fighters for many years. Several of the people at the meeting are members of the Constitution Party.
Inhofe, DeMint, Sessions Decry Cancellation Of Third Missile Defense Site
- By Press Release
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Three U.S. Sens. today expressed outrage that the Obama Administration has cancelled a third missile defense site scheduled to be deployed in Poland and the Czech Republic:
"I have long viewed the deployment of a layered ballistic missile defense as an urgent priority, vital to the future of our country's national security," said U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), a senior member of the Armed Services committee and a member of the Foreign Relations Committee. "The Obama's Administration's decision to cancel the third missile defense site scheduled to be deployed in Poland and the Czech Republic is short-sighted and leaves America and our allies vulnerable to the growing missile threat from Iran. Iran has developed short and medium range missiles capable of hitting targets in the Middle East and southeastern Europe. Our only true defense is an effective layered defensive capability to shoot down ballistic missiles that threaten this country, our allies and our deployed forces around the globe."
Freedom Alert: 11 Ways Baucus Plan Leads to Government Takeover of Health Care
- By By U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint
On Tuesday, Sen. Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, released his health care proposal which will be considered by the full committee next week. The plan contains more of the same big government policies that have been proposed by this Congress and Obama Administration for months. It does nothing to increase Americans’ access to affordable health care coverage. In fact, the Baucus plan includes several devastating provisions that hurt the ability of millions of Americans to keep the coverage they currently have (and like).
Moreover, the combination of tax increases, penalties, new government health care programs, increased fees on private health care entities, and destruction of current health care coverage products will force this nation into the grip of a government-run health care system. Here are 11 things you should know about Baucus' proposal:
Planned Overload May Have Surprises
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
It is quite obvious that the Obama Administration is following a plan developed long ago. It appears that the plan is designed to create so much upheaval and uncertainty in every aspect of life that there is no way that the opposition can muster the time, energy and resources to mount a successful defense.
It has recently been revealed that the plan for the government to take control of health care has been in existence since the days of Franklin Roosevelt and each attempt to surface it has been defeated. Now we have a generation of Americans who have been systematically “dumbed-down” and, lacking knowledge of history and truth, they are subject to psychological manipulation by trained change agents.
Race and Stupidity
- By Pat Buchanan
God save me from my friends -- I can take care of my enemies.
So President Obama must be muttering today.
Ten days ago, the president played his ace of trumps.
He went before a joint session of Congress to lay out his health care plans, confront the "demagoguery" of critics who had resorted to "distortion," "misinformation" and "tall tales," and rally progressives and Blue Dogs to reunite and drive on to victory.
ACORN's Illegal Alien Home Loan Racket
- By Michelle Malkin
There's one thing more shocking than the illegal alien smuggling advice that an ACORN official in San Diego gave undercover journalists James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles. It's the illegal alien home loan racket that ACORN has already been operating with the full knowledge of the U.S. government.
On Wednesday, O'Keefe and Giles published the fifth in a series of BigGovernment.com sting videos. ACORN official Juan Carlos Vera coached the pimp-and-prostitute-posing pair on how best to pull off a border-busting smuggling operation. It would be "better from Tijuana," he counseled on videotape. Vera then generously offered the investigative couple his Mexican "contacts" to bring 12 illegal alien girls into the country for prostitution.
Who Lied?
- By Phyllis Schlafly
The sanctimonious shock at Rep. Joe Wilson's (R-SC) calling out "You lie" when Barack Obama said the health care bill will not insure illegal aliens reminds me of the Casablanca police
chief saying he was "shocked, shocked" to learn that gambling was taking place in the saloon. Barack Obama's congressional pals had defeated the Republican amendment to require proof of legal residency in order to be covered by the health care bill, and the American people know that illegals are now getting free health care at emergency rooms.
Push For Globalism Continues
- By Chuck Baldwin
When George W. Bush was President, he greatly advanced the prospect of integrating the United States with a North American Union (NAU). With no thanks to most Christian conservatives or the mainstream news media, hundreds of thousands of patriotic Americans rallied against this proposal and--at least temporarily--seriously stymied Bush's draconian dream. But if you thought President Barack Obama would be content to let the NAU die a natural death, think again.
Reporting for World Net Daily, author/researcher Jerome Corsi recently reported, "President Obama is continuing President George W. Bush's effort to advance North American integration with a public-relations makeover calculated to place the program under the radar of public opinion and to deflect concerns about border security and national sovereignty.
Happy New Year
- By Dr. Al Snyder
Israel welcomed the Jewish year 5770 last Saturday with somewhat somber but meaningful celebration. Jerusalem Post writer Liat Collins wrote that 5769 was not a "shana toba," or a good year. But thankfully, neither was it the worst. The following is a condensed version of her JP article.
As we mark 70 years since the outbreak of World War II, we know we have much to be grateful for. Primarily, we are still alive. And we now have our own sovereign state. It has too often been ordered around, but nevertheless, it is lively independent and flourishing in nature and deed.
Marxist Thinking?
- By Raquelle Sheen
One of the key tenets of Marxism is that the end justifies the means. In other words, if the goal is desirable then you can use whatever means are necessary to achieve it, even if they are unethical. After all, it’s for the “greater good,” right?
A Christian worldview rejects this notion wholeheartedly. Good ends should be achieved by good means. God has given us standards of right and wrong that He expects us to obey regardless of whatever noble goals we are pursuing. For example, as Christians we support worthwhile charities and missions. However, no Christian in his right mind would reason that it is acceptable in God’s eyes to rob a bank in order to give lots of money to a charity or a missionary.
Rep. Rita Allison, SC GOP File Defamation Suit to Stop Anonymous Attacks
- By Press Release
GOP Chairman Floyd Forms Legal Trust Fund For Future Efforts
Lyman, SC - September 17, 2009 - State Representative Rita Allison joined with state Republican Party Chairman Karen Floyd and SC House Speaker Bobby Harrell to announce the filing of a defamation suit, aimed at sending the message that false and slanderous attacks won't be tolerated in South Carolina.
“You Lie!”
- By Bob Dill
Congressman Joe Wilson Lets it Fly!
Joe Wilson could sit quietly no longer. President Barack Obama speaking before a Joint Session of Congress was calling Republicans who disagreed with his efforts to put the medical care of Americans under control of the federal bureaucracy either by controlling insurance companies or creating a government operated system “blatant liars.”
Wilson yelled out: “You lie!”
Obama appeared stunned for a moment, and then continued his lecture.

Washington and Lee – The Early Years
- By Terry M. Thacker
Although I was born and raised in Maryland, my roots on my mother’s side go way back to early colonial Virginia. I am not a member of the FFV (First Families of Virginia) club, but I am pretty close.
I fell in love with Virginia from an early age, having visited relatives there on a number of occasions while growing up. And, from an early age, I became acquainted with the rich heritage of the Old Dominion state.
In my previous article I was telling you about my visit to two early and very historic colonial brick churches in the eastern part of Virginia. Everywhere you turn, it seems, history lurks about, just waiting to pounce upon the unsuspecting traveler.
Getting Back to the Constitution
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
In the beginning of his best selling book, Saving Freedom, U. S. Senator Jim DeMint discusses the oath of office taken by all members of Congress and their pledge to defend the Constitution of the United States. Then he notes that Congress seldom mentions the Constitution in connection with legislation because much of the legislation “does not fit within the limited powers of the federal government specified by the Constitution.”
Delegates from twelve states crafted the Constitution “in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” The new government was given specific, limited authority. All other authority was left to the States or to the people.
Washington's Lies
- By Walter Williams
President Obama and congressional supporters estimate that his health care plan will cost between $50 and $65 billion a year. Such cost estimates are lies whether they come from a Democratic president and Congress, or a Republican president and Congress. You say, "Williams, you don't show much trust in the White House and Congress." Let's check out their past dishonesty.
At its start, in 1966, Medicare cost $3 billion. The House Ways and Means Committee, along with President Johnson, estimated that Medicare would cost an inflation-adjusted $12 billion by 1990. In 1990, Medicare topped $107 billion. That's nine times Congress' prediction. Today's Medicare tab comes to $420 billion with no signs of leveling off. How much confidence can we have in any cost estimates by the White House or Congress?
Suicide of the West?
- By Thomas Sowell
Britain's release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi-- the Libyan terrorist whose bomb blew up a plane over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, killing 270 people-- is galling enough in itself. But it is even more profoundly troubling as a sign of a larger mood that has been growing in the Western democracies in our time.
In ways large and small, domestically and internationally, the West is surrendering on the installment plan to Islamic extremists.
The late Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn put his finger on the problem when he said: "The timid civilized world has found nothing with which to oppose the onslaught of a sudden revival of barefaced barbarity, other than concessions and smiles."
Training Kids to Be Obama's Servants
- By Phyllis Schlafly
A significant part of Barack Obama's plan to "change" America involves having the federal government take control of public school curriculum, plus compiling a database of personal information about each student. The takeover is planned to be accomplished by talking directly to the kids in their schools, and by attaching extraordinary strings to the $128 billion of Stimulus funds shoveled into education.
Obama's announced September 8 speech from the White House website to every schoolchild in America kicked up a storm of controversy. A study plan for his speech produced by the U.S. Department of Education, which exposes the political motives, was pre-circulated.
Charlie Waller and Hovie Lister
- By Keith Crowe
This week’s article will continue to highlight the South Carolina Gospel Music Association’s 2009 induction class by featuring Hovie Lister. As you may know Hovie was born in Greenville, South Carolina in the Poe Mill area. He was born on September 17, 1926, into a singing family. His grandfather taught “shape note” music schools. Hovie’s father was one of five boys and four of the five sang with Hovie’s father being one of the four. They were known as The Lister Brothers and only sang part-time and worked regular jobs in the cotton mill. Hovie stated that there were a lot of weekday singings and that every Thursday at the Salvation Army Auditorium a gospel music concert was held. Gospel music in those days was very popular. That was some 65 years ago.
March on DC that Can’t be Denied
- By Bob Dill
“Somewhere Between One and Two Million”
Fox News rising star Glenn Beck launched the 9-12 project to energize and give direction to Americans who were awakening to growing problems in government but didn’t know what to do.
Patriotic groups from across the country picked up the idea of marching on Washington on September 12, the day following the anniversary of the terrorist attack on the United States eight years ago. Their motivation was mostly to send a message to a government that is out-of-control, a government that is spending future generations into hopeless debt, even if the nation’s financial structure can survive. They were protesting a government that is not only failing to spend the taxpayers money responsibly, they are failing to protect the borders and, finally, attempting to impose a takeover of medical care in some form yet to be clearly described.
