Palin: “America is Ready for Another Revolution”

C-SPAN carried Sarah Palin’s address before the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville live to audiences around the world. The former Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential candidate was given a rousing welcome by an audience of 1,100 in the Gaylord Opryland Hotel ballroom.

It was reported that as many as 120 media outlets from at least 8 nations covered the first event of its kind.

“I’m a big supporter of this movement and America is ready for another revolution,” Palin told about 600 well-mannered convention attendees and another 500 or more cheering fans added for the Palin appearance.

There are many people who say that our only serious immigration problem is that there are 12 million immigrants in the country who are technically illegal.  These people tend to believe that the only problem with 500,000 illegal immigrants per year is that they are, in liberal-speak,  “undocumented.” They believe that everything would be fine if legal immigration were made easier and employers could have more legal guest-workers. The problem with this is that our legal immigration levels are also unprecedented. Legal immigration is now averaging about 1.0 million per year. Previous to 1987, it averaged only 300,000 per year, and the rate of illegal immigration was much lower. According to Harvard labor economist, George Borjas, himself a Cuban immigrant, a total immigration level of about 500,000 per year is the maximum that will not hurt native-born Americans and their families.

Provides Government Enforcement of Marxist Vision of Utopia That Deprives Individuals of Private Property Rights

Readers of this publication know that most Sustainable Development policy has not come directly from laws passed in Congress. Rather it has been invoked through international treaties, Executive Orders, grant offerings and behind-the-scene “comprehensive plans” in local communities. Henry Lamb of  Sovereignty International in a recent DeWeese Report states that “that’s about to change.”

Over the years as I have traveled to many states and driven thousands of miles, I have visited so many interesting sites that I have even seen fit to pay a second and even a third visit to some of them – places such as the battlefields of Shiloh and Spotsylvania Courthouse.

In the last several travel articles I have been recounting a trip I took this past August to southern Tennessee and southeastern Missouri. As I began heading back toward South Carolina I decided to revisit a few places that I first visited 12 years earlier, on a trip I took in 1997.

One of those places was the small town of Cairo (pronounced Kay-ro), Illinois, which is located at the southernmost tip of the long state of Illinois.

The “handwriting is on the wall,” 2010 is not going to be a good year for RINOs.  In case you have not been paying attention, RINO is a liberal, moderate or progressive politician that, in order to get elected in a conservative district or state, places an “R” after his or her name, runs in a Republican primary election, and becomes a “Republican in name only” (RINO).

The Republican Party in its effort to become a powerful force for good government was willing to compromise principles in order to gain majority control of the South Carolina State House and Senate and both houses of Congress in Washington, D. C. Republicans not only accepted Democrat office holders into their party, but encouraged change of party label in order to add numbers and become the majority party.

Republicans gathered for an evening of food and ballroom dancing at Augusta Manor, Feb. 6, to celebrate the 99th birthday of President Ronald Reagan.

Groups With Common Goals Agree to Work Together to Elect Constitutional Conservatives to Public Office

Patrick Haddon, Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party and Harry Kibler, founder of “RINO Hunt” and spokesman for the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition publicly agreed to establish a means of working together to elect constitutional conservatives to public office during the meeting of the Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committee, Monday night.

Christina Jeffrey, a candidate for the fourth district U.S. congressional seat, and Leighton Lord, a candidate for South Carolina attorney general, spoke to the Greenville County Republican Women (GCRW) meeting at the Poinsett Club, Jan. 28.

Dr. Jeffrey, a lecturer at Wofford College, who is seeking the Republican nomination for the seat held by incumbent Rep. Bob Inglis, said, “I am first and foremost a Christian,” and “I believe that a great country is an important asset” for Christians.

“Republican Party Has Serious Problem – Namely Michael Steele”

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson Founder and President of BOND Action has called for the resignation of Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC).

In a recent statement, Rev. Peterson elaborated on his statement.

“Despite the hope that many Republicans see in a Scott Brown victory, the Republican Party has a serious problem - - namely Michael Steele. In the short time since Steele was elected - - he’s acted less like a friend and more of a foe to conservatives.

“Marxism by Evolution Rather than Revolution”

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton described herself as a “progressive.” About that time a member of Greenville County Council used the descriptive term. The terms “liberal” and “leftist” and “socialist” have become unpopular with liberals, leftists and socialists. They prefer the term “progressive.” It sounds good to the rank and file American. It implies the individual has a positive outlook and favors progress.

The Republican Party has the greatest opportunity in a decade to change national, state and local government for the better this year. However, there are perilous obstacles along the way that could derail the opportunity and become disastrous for both the party and the nation. An objective look at recent history is beneficial to understand the current situation and plot a way forward.

A large influx of social and fiscal conservatives became involved in the political process during the 1980s through organizations such as the Moral Majority and Christian Coalition. The “Rockefeller” style, country club, establishment republicans distrusted these energetic newcomers, but eventually found a way to harness their energy and build a powerful political movement that eventually controlled the White House and both houses of Congress.

Voter ID Bill another High Priority for Lawmakers

The South Carolina State Senate finally passed a sovereignty resolution that had been held over from last year.

With Tea Party and Taxpayer activists looking over their shoulders, Senators passed the resolution in the second week of their business that will formally remind all branches of the federal government that their powers are limited by the United States Constitution.

It further reminds the federal government that it has no authority to demand purchase of healthcare insurance by the citizens of South Carolina.

Songwriter, Actor, Playwright, Musician and Author Presented: “Story Behind Songs”

The Lee – Jackson Dinner at the Airport Marriott, Saturday night, was musical and historical from beginning to end. Featured was a historic journey through the 1860s with Stan Clardy and his stories, songs and guitar along with the Joyful Harps featuring Heather and Raquelle Sheen.

The occasion was celebration of the birthdays of two of the nation’s greatest military leaders who were graduates of the Military Academy at West Point who have a reputation for honor and patriotism “etched in stone,” despite efforts of revisionists to distort their character.

Walt Wilkins has announced that he will seek the Republican nomination to become the next 13th Circuit Solicitor.

Wilkins, the former US Attorney for South Carolina, and the son of Judge Billy Wilkins, brings proven experience and a record of accomplishment to the race.

“During my five years in the US Attorney’s office, I prosecuted hundreds of cases involving violent crime, street gangs, narcotics and illegal immigration. We worked with a number of state and federal agencies and dismantled several violent street gangs. We broke up an international drug smuggling ring and indicted 110 people.

Constitution Party Chairman James Clymer will Present Rebuttal to Obama State of Union Address

On Thursday night at Greenville Technical College, Upstate residents will have an opportunity to hear a nationally acclaimed Constitutional Attorney assess the first year of the Obama Administration and its impact on the freedom and civil rights guaranteed for all Americans by the Constitution of the United States.

It’s election year. We have a radical in the White House, revolutionaries in control of the Congress and a large segment of the electorate is confused. That makes for a dangerous mixture for law-abiding citizens who don’t particularly care for excitement of the violent variety.

A large segment of my generation don’t even watch violent movies; we saw enough carnage in Korea and Vietnam to last a lifetime. We sympathize with the troops trying to fight a war when the civilian leaders are not interested in winning and don’t have the courage or the integrity to admit it. We detest a civilian population that is disinterested in national defense unless they have a son or brother whose life is on the line in Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere.
