Political
Senators Vote to Remove Flag From Memorial
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Lawmakers Voted as Leftists Moveon.org Announced Plans to Lobby on the North Steps of the Capitol on Tuesday to Take Down What they Labeled the “Antiquated Symbol of Rebellion and Racism”
The South Carolina Senate voted 37 to 3 on Monday afternoon to remove the Confederate battle flag from the Confederate Soldier Memorial to the Confederate Relic Room. This gesture is virtually meaningless since the flag flown on the Capitol Dome was stored in the Relic Room 15 years ago and this flag is only a replica of that banner.
The three Senators voting in opposition to the proposal were Lee Bright, Danny Verdin and Harvey Peeler.
The vote was on second reading of the bill with a third and final reading set for Tuesday morning. The proposal will then move to the House for debate and a vote expected before weeks end.

Banning Flag Sales Hurts More Than Just Flag-Sellers
- By By Heather Sheen
By Heather Sheen
The law of unintended consequences tells us that people’s actions always create not only planned, but unplanned results. I encountered the law this week when Etsy joined the list of major online retailers banning the sale of the Confederate battle flag.
Etsy is a digital marketplace that offers ready-made, customizable, online shop space to small businesses. My Etsy-hosted store, Creative Cockades, is now in its 5th year. I just broke the “800 sales” mark. I do not sell the Confederate flag – or any flag. But my Etsy store is going to run off of Etsy shortly. Why? The law of unintended consequences.
I’m sure Etsy was only intending to put out of business the people selling Confederate flags. And after all, I’m sure they reasoned, those are just bigoted, racist people anyway so nobody will miss them.
Unfortunately, Etsy reckoned without their customers. Etsy buyers are apparently not the spineless sheep that Etsy management is. Some of them stand on principle rather than following the latest media-induced fad. So Etsy customers who know their history (read that, 75% of my customers) are now boycotting Etsy because of the flag-selling ban.

Record Crowd at SCV Meeting
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Lawmakers Invited Guests Asked to Report on Flag Issue
The Sixteenth Regiment, Sons of Confederate Veterans, in Greenville, honors a unit by that designation composed mostly of men from Greenville and Furman University. The camp had a record turnout at their regular June meeting last Thursday night at the Phoenix Inn. Camp 36 has some 200 active members, however several members of other Upstate camps and non-members were also in attendance.
The scheduled speaker was canceled and the meeting was devoted to discussion of attacks on the Confederate battle flag charged with political expediency. The program change was made with short notice and several Upstate lawmakers were invited.

Defeating ISIS and Restoring America's Greatness
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
A Presentation by John Warren to Republican Women and their Guests
Lima One Capital CEO John Warren, who served as a United States Marine Corps officer in Iraq, was the featured speaker at the Greenville County Republican Women’s Club Annual Americanism program at the Poinsett Club.
Warren discussed how the United States could defeat ISIS and restore our nation’s greatness.
Since the economy is the engine that fuels our national defense, Warren said we must first “control federal spending, reform the tax code and entitlements and repeal damaging regulations.”
He discussed the importance of small business in the economy. He said the 26 million businesses with 500 employees or less employ half of the working Americans.

Haley, Obama Link Murders to Flag and Southern Heritage
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
(Analysis of a Continuing Tragedy)
It was not unexpected to hear President Obama blame the murders of nine Charleston church goers on guns and Southerners because of their history of slavery and “Jim Crow.”
It was surprising and extremely disappointing, however, to see South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley rush out on Monday and link the murders and the deranged murderer with the Confederate battle flag and the Palmetto State’s Southern Heritage.
Governor Haley can be forgiven for her ignorance of factual history, however it was below the dignity of her office to use this vicious tragedy to justify tramping on the memory of Southern patriots and scoring political points on the backs of native South Carolineans.
It appears that Governor Haley has created a steamroller effect and, therefore, there will be little or no opposition from the lawmakers. Southern Heritage groups have been blindsided and will have little opportunity to organize opposition.

Republicans Split Over Obamatrade Fast Track
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Voters Angry and Threatening Reprisals for those Who Vote for Fast Track Authority for Obama
An odd combination of liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans handed President Obama and the Republican leadership a stunning defeat when they defeated TAA, the Trade Adjustment Assistance by an overwhelming vote of 302 to 126. The House narrowly passed TPA, the Trade Promotion Authority by a vote of 219 to 211. House Speaker Bayner promised to attempt to get enough Democrat and Republican votes to pass the TAA by Tuesday, June 16.
The Obama Administration is employing the same tactics they used to pass Obamacare through the Congress. There is no time to read the proposed legislation. In fact much of it is secret and out of sight of members of Congress. The big difference is that Obamacare was passed by a Lame Duck Democrat Congress. This Obamatrade legislation has pulled in the Republican Congressional leadership.
