Smirking Schumer Believes Conservative Republicans are Stupid
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
A smirking New York Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer on FOX News Sunday with his colleague Senator John McCain insulted every conservative Republican with his self-serving advice. Looking precisely like the cat that ate the canary, the mendacious liberal (Progressive) Democrat from New York advised the Republican House to support the Senate amnesty bill or sentence the Republican Party to minority status for the foreseeable future.
Knowledge of what the bill contains and an ounce of common sense and rational thinking proves precisely the opposite result. The bill passed by the Senate will create millions of new Democrat voters and doom the Republican Party for the next century while making the Democrats permanent rulers of a socialist state with no effective political opposition.
“Amnesty By Any Other Name Is Still Amnesty!”

- By Allan E. Brown - Greenville, SC
After 26 years as a police officer for the city of Greenville, I retired to take a job as a Court Security Officer under authority of the U.S. Marshals Service—my primary responsibility being protection of federal judges, among other duties. In this capacity that I occasionally have the privilege of seeing lawful immigrants come to the Clement Haynesworth Federal Building to complete the final step on their “pathway to citizenship” in compliance with our immigration laws.
Charlie Waller and Hovie Lister
- Details
- By Keith Crowe
When I began to write “The Gospel Music Corner” I said that not only would the feature be about groups and artists but also about folks who had made an impact on the gospel music industry.
This week’s feature is without question about one person who has impacted the gospel music industry nationwide, as well as the upstate, as much if not more than any other person. This person is Charles (Charlie) Waller, “The Grand Ole Gospel Man.” Charlie is one of the more colorful people in Southern Gospel Music. He loves traditional Southern Gospel Music and works tirelessly to promote and preserve it. Charlie was born in 1948 (a very good year) in Waynesboro Mississippi. Today he divides his time between Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and Georgia.
Lindsey Graham Protest and Sign Wave
- Details
- By James "Chip" Moore
On Monday morning protesters stood outside of Senator Lindsey Graham’s office building atop the cobblestone in the heart of downtown. Feeling betrayed, protestors held signs against Graham’s recent comments.
Afraid of an expansive government, citizens feel that Graham’s comments on Verizon and the government go against his proposed small government beliefs.
DONE, but not REALLY
- Details
- By Rep. Mike Burns
The General Assembly’s regular session for 2013 came to an end Thursday, June 13th. Thank goodness it’s a two year session because critical legislation was left unfinished. In January at the beginning of the 120th session there was optimism that great things could be accomplished. That hope was unfulfilled in this first year.
In my view, the House of Representatives did its part to move important legislation forward, but many of those bills bogged down in the State Senate primarily as a result of Democrat obstructionists and the Senate’s archaic rules that allow one Senator to block legislation.

“Opportunity” will Preclude Continued Service As Party Chairman
The Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committee was caught by surprise on June 17 when they were informed by their popular second term chairman that she was resigning effective immediately.

Physicians’ Declaration of Independence
- Details
- By Dr. Richard Amerling
When in the Course of Human Events, it becomes necessary for one Profession to dissolve the Financial Arrangements which have connected them with Medicare, Medicaid, assorted Health Maintenance Organizations, and diverse Third Party Payers and to assume among the other Professions of the Earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that the Physician’s primary responsibility is toward the Patient; that to assure the sanctity of this relationship, payment for service should be decided between Physician and Patient, and that, as in all transactions in a free society, this payment be mutually agreeable. Only such a Financial Arrangement will guarantee the highest level of Commitment and Service of the Physician to the Patient, restrain Outside Influence on Decision-Making, and assure that personal information be kept confidential.
Amnesty: The Obama Third Wave
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Presidential candidate Obama informed his followers that: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” He promised that: “We will transform” America. Now we should know what he was talking about. During the past four years and a half, he has systematically dismantled portions of the free enterprise system, disregarded the Constitution, began the systematic destruction of the military, attacked Christianity and favored Islamic extremists and criminals at home and abroad.
During the next few weeks, the Obama administration and their allies will attempt to push through an “immigration reform” bill that will give the President an opening to allow those who entered the country illegally permission to vote in the next two critical elections. Eleven to thirty million more Democrat voters, strategically located, will give radical socialists total control of the United States Government and a license to implement fully the radical socialist agenda giving government bureaucrats total control of every aspect of American life.

Greenville County GOP Censured Former State GOP Chairman Chad Connelly
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Connelly Censured for his “Unfair Behavior; his Violations of Roberts Rules of Order; and his Insulting, Untruthful and Libelous Public Comments” During and Following the May 4, 2013, State Convention
With Representatives of 84 Greenville County Precincts present and voting, 73 of those representatives voted in favor of a strongly worded censure motion detailing unacceptable behavior of State GOP Chairman Chad Connelly and his associate, Myrtle Beach lawyer and state Rep. Alan Clemmons, during the 2013 SC GOP State Convention in Columbia.
Convention delegates from Greenville believe Connelly’s apparent hate for Greenville County Republicans was a result of candidates from Greenville County challenging him in the election for party chairman. The motion for censure details the “dirty tricks” used on his challenger, including only 2 minutes for the challenger to present his candidacy to the delegates before the vote.
We DO Have Some Problems Here
- Details
- By Chuck Baldwin
Breitbart.com recently carried a report saying, “During his speech in San Jose, California on Friday, President Obama took one question from the press on national security monitoring of Americans. Without any sense of irony whatsoever in the aftermath of the IRS’ targeting of conservatives, the administration’s stonewalling on Benghazi, the Department of Justice’s targeting of reporters, the Department of Health and Human Services’ leveraging of private organizations for Obamacare public relations cash, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s secret email addresses, Obama unloaded this line:
“‘If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here.’”
Discerning Good and Evil
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
In times gone by, a large number of people were blessed with a quality that in those days was loosely called “common horse sense.” In essence, they had the ability to distinguish good from evil and the “sense” to “flee from evil,” and defend and preserve those things that were good. Sadly, that quality is lacking today in the typical man or woman “on the streets” of the United States of America, even in the so-called “Bible Belt.” Tragically, it is virtually absent in the affairs of government, business, and academia. It is frightening to note that common sense and discernment appears to be fading from the scene in the modern church.
Big Brother Obama Is Watching
- Details
- By Phyllis Schlafly
It has become evident that Barack Obama’s definition of “fundamentally transforming the United States” includes Big Brother harassing selected conservatives while monitoring everybody’s email and telephone traffic. These seem to be among the surprising duties of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the National Security Agency (NSA), respectively.
It’s clear that the IRS has been unfairly targeting and mistreating more than 500 conservative organizations, especially if they use such words as “tea party,” “liberty,” or “patriotic” on their tax returns or tax-exempt applications. IRS then bogs them down with years of delays and demands for nosy and unnecessary information.

“The Evangelical Immigration Table,” Alleged Sponsor of Ads featuring Evangelistic “Leaders” and Targeting Christians is Exposed as George Soros Funded Front Organization
For weeks, conservative and Christian radio signals have been saturated with political ads advising Christians that it is their duty to show compassion and support disguised amnesty for individuals who entered the United States illegally. The objective of this ad campaign is to rally Christian support behind the flawed Senate bill supported by the “Gang of Eight” that includes Senators Lindsey Graham from South Carolina and the radical Progressive Chuck Schumer from New York and six others.

Memorial Day Memories
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Memorial Day is about more than drinking beer around a backyard grill, riding in baskets hanging beneath hot air balloons or watching muscular women sling heavy weights across a grassy university field. It is about honoring the memory of those Americans who have sacrificed their lives so that their fellow Americans may remain free. May their sacrifices never be minimized nor forgotten!
I was pleasantly surprised to see a brief report on Fox News last Saturday that brought back memories of one of my favorite experiences involving a tribute to those who sacrificed. Some of us who have been around for a long time have by the blessings of an all-powerful God experienced history in the making. This writer has been blessed with more than my share of such experiences.
Gang of Eight Betrays Americans
- Details
- By Phyllis Schlafly
The Gang of Eight immigration bill can be summed up as amnesty now, border closing never. The Department of Homeland Security is not required to build a fence (which was ordered by the Secure Fence Act signed by President George W. Bush). DHS is required only to submit a plan.
If the DHS Secretary decides she has not reached 90 percent of border security, a “trigger” kicks in: the creation of a Southern Border Security Commission empowered (horrors!) to make recommendations. After six months of pondering its mission, the Commission automatically self-liquidates, so there will never be border security.
Veterans Jailed for Criticism of Government Policies

“A Government System is Targeting Military Veterans for Expressing their Discontent over America's Rapid Transition to a Police State.”
John W. Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute, has announced that his organization has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a Marine who was jailed and held for the comments he made on Facebook that expressed dissatisfaction with the policies and direction of the Obama Administration.
The lawsuit filed in U. S. District Court in Richmond, Virginia, claims the seizure and detention of the veteran is part of a plan “executed by the Obama administration called Operation Vigilant Eagle... A federal program to do surveillance on military veterans who express views critical of the government.”

She and many others enjoyed the sights and smells of this year’s Scottish Highland Games at Furman University this past Saturday.

The Doctrine of Tyranny Revisited
- Details
- By Frank Hall - Greenville, SC
Eighty years ago I was a seven-year-old boy with a twelve-year-old brother. We had chores to do, so we didn’t get a lot of playing time, but when we did have time to play we did what Charlie wanted to do because he was bigger, stronger, and tougher. He practiced the Doctrine of Tyranny, not the Doctrine of Shared Power. I didn’t like this arrangement, and several times it erupted in fist fights. I knew Charlie would mop the floor with me but I didn’t care. I wanted, even demanded, a more equal say-so in our activities.
A Taste of Tyranny!

- By Bob Dill, Publisher
For several years now, this column has warned of the potential for tyrannical government gaining a foothold in the United States of America. Now in the second term of the Obama – Biden Administration we are getting a taste of tyranny that is destined to become much worse. We have “Fast and Furious,” Benghazi, using the IRS to persecute and punish Conservative organizations, using the military to promote the agenda of feminists, homosexuals and terrorists; Refusing to control the border with Mexico and enforce immigration laws; and support for persecution of Christians and Christian organizations.
Backlash Against Common Core
- Details
- By Phyllis Schlafly
The national news media haven’t discovered it, but the issue that is bringing out hundreds of citizens who never before attended political meetings is Common Core (CC). More precisely, it is the attempt of Barack Obama’s Department of Education to force all states and schools to adopt specified national education standards for each grade level that will dictate what all kids learn and don’t learn.
Common Core means federal control of school curriculum, i.e., control by Obama Administration leftwing bureaucrats. Federal control will replace all curriculum decisions by state and local school boards, state legislatures, parents, and even Congress because Obama bypassed Congress by using $4 billion of Stimulus money to promote Common Core.
It’s not only public schools that must obey the fed’s dictates. Common Core will control the curriculum of charter schools, private schools, religious schools, Catholic schools, and homeschooling.
