And Now a Word from our (?????) in Chief

- By Cyndy Miller
I remember an exchange last year between Don Imus and his now late, but still great, brother Fred. Don asked if Fred had watched the Presidential Address on TV the night before. “Yes, I did” said Fred. “But about 30 seconds into it I realized he wasn’t going to resign so I turned it off.” Amen, Fred.
Last month we watched a world class cat fight in the Congressional litter box. The whole point was to trim the dead weight off the budget and get our spending under control. Personally, I thought we did a great job of clearly communicating the message: Stop spending!!! It seems I was wrong. Obama wants more spending.

Rep. Trey Gowdy told the combined Greenville County and Upstate Republican women’s clubs Wednesday, Aug. 31, that “compromise is only one-way street in Washington.
“They want us to compromise when we are in power, and they can do what they want when they are in power. With civility we must be unyielding in our convictions.”
Gowdy referred to Sen. Jim DeMint, the luncheon’s first speaker, as the father of the modern-day constitutional conservative movement. Gowdy asked that DeMint give prayerful consideration to running for president. He said his dream ticket is either DeMint and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin or DeMint and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida.

- By Thomas C. Hanson
Sen. Jim DeMint told the combined Greenville County and Upstate Republican women’s clubs Wednesday, Aug. 31, that in the debt limit debate we saw character and spine from our South Carolina congressmen that we did not see from Tea Party Republicans all over the country.
“This time last year I was fighting people in Washington about the need to cut spending when even my own Republican colleagues were fighting about how much bacon to take home to their states,” DeMint said. “They were talking about how much more to spend.”
Holder Puts Hold On South Carolina’s Voter ID Law

Justice Dept. Under Pressure from NAACP, Leftist Groups
The new South Carolina voter ID law is being held up and blocked from implementation by Attorney General Eric Holder and the U. S. Justice Department. The law was passed by both houses of the legislature and signed by the Governor.
The Justice Department blocked the South Carolina law because they didn’t have enough information.
All laws or regulations pertaining to elections in the states that voted for Republican Barry Goldwater in 1964 must submit all election related laws and regulations to the U. S. Justice Department for review before implementation. President Lyndon Johnson due to a desire for political retribution put this 47-year-old requirement in election laws after the 1064 election.

South Carolina's Largest District off to Smooth Start
Last Tuesday night, Dr. Phinnize J. Fisher, Superintendent of Greenville County Schools, gave what will likely be her final school opening report. Dr. Fisher has submitted her resignation and is expected to leave the district as soon as a replacement is hired and given sufficient time for orientation.
Fisher assumed the duties of superintendent in May 2004 on very short notice due to the sudden resignation (or firing) of Dr. William Harner. (The reason for Harner’s hasty departure was never made public due to a secrecy pact agreed to by the departing superintendent and the school board.)
