League academy first middle school to implement program
In 1998 on March 24, two boys met up in the woods outside their school in Jonesboro, Arkansas, after one pulled the fire alarm. Armed with thirteen fully loaded firearms, Mitchell Johnson, 13, and Andrew Golden, 11, opened fire on their classmates as they exited the building 100 yards away, killing five. Across the state in Springdale, Arkansas, two men feeling the impact of such a horrific event were compelled to do something to ensure that schools remain the safest place for children to be.
With the help of his friend, Jim Moore, founder of watch D.O.G.S (Dads of Great Students), started making steps in creating a volunteer program for dads to become more involved in day-to-day activities in the school. Watch D.O.G.S., a father-engagement and educational initiative of the National Center for Fathering, was designed to encourage fathers and father figures to be more involved in the educational process. The goals of the program are to enhance school safety and provide positive male role models.
Honoring Generals Lee and Jackson

“A Nation of Men of Lee’s Character Would be Unconquerable in Spirit and Soul” President Dwight D. Eisenhower
The Officers and Members of the 16th Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Camp 36 in Greenville celebrated the birthdays of Generals Lee and Jackson at the Greenville Hilton, Saturday evening.
Robert E. Lee was born January 19, 1807, in Stratford Hall, Virginia.
Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson was born January 21, 1824, in Clarksburg, Virginia.
Despite the mendacity of those who continue to attempt to justify the atrocities committed against the Southern people by maligning Southern leaders, General Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson continue to be used by the top military schools throughout the world as the best examples of leadership and character in military history. Both were distinguished graduates of the U. S. Military Academy and officers in the United States Army. They were faced with a momentous decision when their sovereign state left the Union. They resigned their commissions to defend their homeland.
Abandoning “Peace through Strength”
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The United States Government has kept its citizens safe and maintained a strong position among nations by adopting the slogan, “Peace through Strength.” The current White House occupant is abandoning that philosophy, either intentionally or through extraordinary incompetence. It is more likely a combination of both. We should expect nothing more or less from an individual who was indoctrinated by and is currently surrounded and advised by turncoats and terrorists of the Vietnam War Era.
Many misinformed and misguided voters have become addicted to the promises of agenda-driven politicians who pledged that savings from national defense cuts would be redistributed to social programs and benefits for the those becoming impatient waiting for their share of the loot.
Alabama Supreme Court Rules ‘Unborn’ is a ‘Child’
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
State Law Designed to Protect Children from Meth Lab Chemicals Applied to Unborn
The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that a state law intended to prevent exposing children to dangerous chemicals also protects the unborn child. The Alabama State law was originally intended to prevent parents from operating meth labs around children, or allowing children to be in meth labs. The law makes no reference to the unborn.
The decision in Ankrom V. State upheld the conviction of two women who were prosecuted for using drugs during their pregnancies.
The court ruling stated that, “the plain meaning of the word ‘child’ in the chemical endangerment statute includes unborn children.”
Hobby Lobby Gets Crafty with Insurance Timeline

By Tony Perkins, Family Research Council
Hobby Lobby may have a reason to celebrate Religious Freedom Day after all. The mega-craft retailer announced last week that the owners have found a way for the company to bypass the $14.3 million in fines it would have already racked up. The penalty for not providing abortion drugs to employees under the President's health care mandate was supposed to go into effect January 1, but, thanks to a loophole, The Becket Fund believes that Hobby Lobby may be able to postpone the pain. "Hobby Lobby discovered a way to shift the plan year for its employee health insurance, thus postponing the effective date of the mandate for several months," the Fund explained.
Hundreds Rally for Nullification

At the foot of the steps leading up to the State House, in front of an overlooking statue of President George Washington, gathered hundreds of people for one common goal. Preceding a press conference that was to take place in the Rotunda of the State House concerned citizens with signs, flags, and a uniting cause listened as their state representatives rallied the crowd against Obamacare.
On Tuesday January 8, 2012 a Nullify Obamacare Rally and Press Conference was held in the capital. Speakers included Thomas Kindle, President elect of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, House members Bill Chumley (D35), Tom Corbin (D17), Bill Taylor (D86), Donna Woods (D37), Mac Toole (D88), and Senators Lee Bright (D12) and Tom Davis (D46). RINO hunt founder Harry Kibler was the Master of Ceremonies.

Some Things you do by Executive Order, You Need Money for it to be implemented – and that’s up to Congress
The spin is on. After 150 years of mendacity, Hollywood has admitted that Lincoln was a dictator and Bill Clinton on Sunday night told a television audience on the Golden Globe show that future presidents should be more like Lincoln in his role as dictator. Clinton and the Hollywood left has set the stage for the coming gun, ammo, magazine grab many said could never happen in this country.
NRA President David Keene told CNN recently that the meeting with Vice President Biden was little more than an “attack on the Second Amendment.”

Thanks to Jim DeMint

- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Senator Jim DeMint has left the United States Senate and now heads The Heritage Foundation. DeMint was replaced in the senate by Tim Scott, a staunch Conservative from Charleston. Scott was appointed to fill the remaining two years of DeMint’s term by the governor.
Jim DeMint has not only served South Carolina well as our United States Senator; he has served the nation. He has worked tirelessly to recruit, campaign for and help elect a nucleus of conservative senators. These new senators have the potential over the long term to change the culture in the United States Senate for the good. They have the potential for transforming the government in Washington, D.C., into a servant of the people rather than a bottomless pit devoted to tax and spend policies.

This week I am featuring certainly one of the true legends in Southern Gospel Music and although he passed away several years ago his accomplishments continue to affect our music. He is none other than Hovie Lister, a native of Greenville.
I learned last week that retired Sheriff Johnny Mack Brown, Senator Tom Corbin and Councilman Joe Dill have been able to have a bridge named after Hovie to serve as a memorial to a native of the up-country. The location of this bridge is on highway 25 where the Highway 25 by-pass splits with Highway 25. This dedication is scheduled for Sunday, 17 Feb. at 2 p.m. at Reedy River Baptist Church with Charles Waller Master of Ceremonies.

Preaching to the Choir

And thus we lose another arrow in the Conservative quiver. As a Senator, DeMint had the power to offset or at least defend our principles against the likes of Harry Reid and Schumer.
As President of the Heritage Foundation, and I do not deny the importance of Heritage, he will join the chorus of organizations who have a voice but no vote; who can hold conferences of believers while not converting non-believers; who can print impressive brochures which are then distributed to an adoring choir; and who continue to wallow in the partisan swill inside the Beltway while achieving little.
Happy New Year, Y’all!

- By Bob Dill, Publisher
We are facing a New Year with great uncertainty. We have a President of the United States who is only interested in carrying out his liberal leftist agenda to “transform” our constitutional republic into a socialist, Islamic dictatorship under a world government that is bent on redistributing the wealth of this nation to the “have-nots” of the world. He is intentionally rendering the greatest nation the world has ever known to be defenseless against our enemies.
He is dismantling the defense establishment at a time of great danger. At the same time, he is living the lifestyle of the “rich and famous” on borrowed money and flying around the world and from town to town in a huge airplane as if cost was no consideration. He has proven that he has no interest in saving the nation from economic ruin.
Boomer’s Tale - Part 4 You Can’t Win ‘Em All

Translated from “dog” By W. H. Lamb
This is Boomer back with you again. I’ve been a little “down” the past few weeks. First off, my back legs are starting to give me a little pain from time to time. Nothing too bad, and dog medicine seems to help, but it does bother me some. One of the humans I take care of, named Grampa, has also been having pain in his back and legs for the past few months, and I know it bothers him. I’ve offered to share my medicine with him, but he told me that he preferred to take his own. He reminds me constantly that I am fortunate to walk on four legs instead of walking upright, and developing back trouble. Frankly, I’d never want to walk upright because I can run much faster on my four legs than any human I’ve yet met. Just another way that we dog people are the superior species (but I don’t brag about it).
We Will Keep Our God, Country and Guns
- Details
- By Frank Raddish
America has become a nation of violence. More gun control laws are not the answer to stop more tragic events like the one that recently took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. The spiritual decay of our nation is the number one cause of the great increase in violence that Americans have witnessed and suffered from. Prayer and Bible reading were removed from the public school systems decades ago. Discipline in the form of corporal punishment in the schools is not allowed anymore. Hollywood has saturated the minds of the youth of America with bloody violent scenes that have desensitized them about the value of human life. Over fifty-five million unborn babies have been slaughtered in their mothers womb since 1973. Cold-blooded murders are commonplace throughout America.
If Voters Only Knew Some History
- Details
- By John F. McManus - New American
Last April, a candidate for reelection to his House seat was asked during a town hall meeting to estimate how many in the U.S. Congress were “card-carrying Marxists or International Socialists.” Without hesitation, he responded, “There are about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party.” He pointed to their membership of “the Congressional Progressive Caucus.” His frankness drew immediate attention, not only from media representatives locally, but some nationally.
The congressman who pointed the finger at this sizable number of colleagues is Allen West, the representative of Florida’s 22nd District, which is situated in a portion of southeastern Florida that includes Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. The response likely cost him his reelection. In the very tight 2012 race, he lost by a few thousand votes and didn’t concede defeat until almost two weeks after Election Day.
Hobby Lobby Defying Obamacare Abortion Mandate

Attorney Kyle Duncan on website: The Company Will Continue to... Remain True to their Faith, it is not their Intention, as a Company to Pay for Abortion-inducing Drugs
Faced with threats of fines as high as $1.3 million per day, Hobby Lobby, the Christian-owned company ordered by Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor to comply with the pro-abortion provisions of Obamacare or face stiff fines has, according to their attorney, decided to defy the mandate.
In a statement posted on the company website, attorney Kyle Duncan said, “The company will continue to provide health insurance to all qualified employees. To remain true to their faith, it is not their intention, as a company, to pay for abortion-inducing drugs.”
At least a dozen lawsuits have been filed by Christian owned and operated companies and institutions.

It has become typical in school text books, in public discussions, and in the smug wisdom of Progressives, to diminish the words and actions of those who led the founding of the United States. However, now that the nation has gone through what Al Gore called a “wrenching transformation” away from limited government, free enterprise, and individual liberty (all major ingredients to making the US the freest and most prosperous nation in history) it’s time to listen again to their wisdom.

School Shootings
- Details
- By Frank Hall - Greenville, SC
The main topic of the day seems to be the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on Dec 14th• Can you believe that one lone 24-year-old “man” violated the rights of 26 people, 20 children and 6 adults, disrespecting their status as human beings, and treating them like “stuff,’ trash, to be abused and discarded as of no value? The police say he shot each victim from three to eleven times. Why did he shoot them so many times? Was it some macabre sense of compassion? Did he see them wallowing in their blood, screaming in pain, begging someone to rescue them? Did he shoot them again and again until they remained quiet, to put them out of their misery, like we would an injured wild animal? Or did he stand belligerently over them and mutter through clenched teeth, “Shut up. Kid. When I shoot someone they are supposed to roll over quietly and die. How dare you intrude upon my auditory space with your pitiful begging for mercy!”
The Principles of Evanjellyfish Christianity
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Many people believe that Evanjellyfish Christianity is rapidly displacing Evangelical Christianity in the United States and Britain. A historical analysis of this increasingly popular and trendy adaptation of Christianity reveals surprisingly deep roots and a well-established set of principles.
The first principle of Evanjellyfish Christianity is TOLERANCE. Tolerance is their ultimate, unquestioned virtue. The underlying multiculturalist principle here is that all moral or theological truths are relative and equal no matter what their source. In this chaotic system of theology, one truth is as good as another, and nobody’s truth is ever questioned—unless they believe that there are absolute truths. Believing in absolute truths is intolerant because it implies that some people are in serious error. Having to defend serious error and all sorts of nonsense and to suppress even obvious absolute truths for the sake of tolerance tends to make Evanjellyfish Christians fact and logic averse. Thus emotion always trumps facts and logic in their discourse, usually accompanied by much rambling nonsense.

The Joseph Evan Davis Chapter #907 Children of the Confederacy was honored to participate in the Memorial Dedication Ceremony for the Monument honoring Union County Confederate Pensioners of Color on Saturday, December 8, 2012 in Monroe, NC. Andrew Myers, President of Joseph Evan Davis Chapter, brought greetings. Other members of the chapter distributed programs and memorial ribbons, and they reserved the seating for the descendants of the Confederate pensioners who were being honored. They had the honor of meeting Real Daughter, Mattie Clyburn Rice, and of seeing many Confederate artifacts, including the cane owned by President Jefferson Davis, that were on display inside the Union County Court House. This is the first monument of its kind to honor pensioners of color, and it was a privilege to have a part in this historic occasion. The Joseph Evan Davis Chapter is sponsored by Winnie Davis Chapter No. 442, United Daughters of the Confederacy.
End Gun Free School Zones
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
We have witnessed yet another massacre of innocent children in a gun free school zone. When will school decision-makers learn that teachers and administrators cannot protect children against a gun, knife or ball bat-wielding assailant with their bare hands? Children must be protected from evil people who would harm and even kill them. Teachers and administrators must be given the tools and ability to ensure safety to the greatest degree humanly possible. The “gun free” craze virtually prevents safe schools by creating a “soft target” for killers. Children become “sitting ducks” for deranged killers seeking fame as mass murderers.
The massacre of students and school staff in Connecticut, Friday, was a demonic act of evil. Could it have been prevented, or minimized? That answer, in my view and that of others, is a qualified “yes.” Measures could have been taken to discourage such behavior and limit the loss of life.
