What Elections?
- By Mike Scruggs
Obama’s Moral Equivalent to the 1933 Reichstag Fire
What Obama, Schumer, Reid, and Pelosi and their gang are doing to jam legislation through Congress by trampling the Constitution and parliamentary procedure and ignoring the voice of the people, is the moral equivalent of the Enabling Act that followed the February 27, 1933 Reichstag fire.
How the fire started is controversial. Berlin Police found a Dutch Communist agitator, Marinus van der Lubbe, in the building, but it was evident that he had help in starting such a large fire. Were the Communists starting a revolution or did the Nazis set up and manipulate van der Lubbe into starting it and then finish the job themselves? Nazi detectives completed the investigation. Herman Goering bragged to a gathering of high-ranking Nazi’s in 1942 that he was responsible for the fire.
Willis Meadows Announces for Reelection for Greenville County Council
- By Press Release
Greenville County Councilman Willis Meadows has officially announced his candidacy for reelection for Greenville County Council District 19 seat.
Meadows, a former principal of Travelers Rest High School, who is currently owner of a Greenville insurance agency, said he will continue to give the district “an effective, experienced and conservative voice on Greenville County Council.
“As a long-time resident of Greenville County I care deeply about our community,” Meadows said. “District 19 is facing new challenges, presented by unprecedented growth. Along with the existing problems of a weak economy, development, congestion, and an increasing property tax burden, County Council continually faces new challenges that require common sense solutions. I want to continue to help find these new common sense solutions for our county just as I have done the past three year as a council member. This approach is the same as I have used in my education and business careers for over four decades.”
Driving on the Parkway (Or Parking on the Driveway)
- By Terry M. Thacker
Yes, it is true. I know it is hard to believe, especially since just a few short weeks ago I wrapped up a series of travel articles telling you about my adventures on a trip to Missouri and Tennessee. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, “There I go again.”
Yes, I am “on the road again,” to quote still another well-known individual. And yes, my gas tank is full and my coffee mug is brimming, and I am raring to hit the road. So let’s go, shall we?
It was back in late September that I started out on my yearly week’s vacation. My destination was Maryland to visit with family, but, as many of you already know, I don’t always take the shortest route to my eventual destination. This time around I decided to amble up the Blue Ridge Parkway and take it as far north as I could before nightfall.
The Republic is Changed Forever
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Obamacare is now the law of the land unless it can be repealed or declared unconstitutional. Our beloved republic has been systematically dismantled by subversives who now control the government. It is an unbelievable tragedy.
The people who voted for Barack Hussein Obama in November 2008 launched a Marxist revolution that will change our constitutional republic forever, beginning Sunday night, March 21, 2010. Some Americans with good intentions who thought it could not happen here and failed to become involved and chose to remain ignorant of political matters and facts regarding government operations allowed it to happen and share the blame and shame.
Things That Worked: From A Homeschool Graduate
- By Heather Sheen
I was asking my mom what topic I should write about for my column this week. After writing for The Times Examiner for ten years, one tends to run low on new topics, y’know? But Mom had a great suggestion: Why don’t I list things that she and Dad did in our homeschooling that worked? And she even gave me permission to list things that didn’t work too! So here we go. In no particular order: Things That Worked In Our Homeschool.
The Atomic Adam
- By Sarah J. Mercado
The War Within
At first glance, it seems we have a misprint, but, not so ... ADAM, the first man created, according to Biblical Scripture, was made from the dust of the ground and given the ability to reproduce himself; thus the human race became a reality.
The term “dust” is understood as being very small particles, grayish in color and always present. We can take this word and carry it a little further into yet smaller degrees of existence.
Under the microscope we would look deeper into its configuration and discover that there is more to this object than “meets the eye”.

DeMint hosts reception for Marco Rubio, the popular conservative US Senate candidate from Florida
The Greenville Marriott on Monday evening, March 15, was the scene of a reception for Marco Rubio, a US Senate candidate from Florida, sponsored by Senator Jim DeMint. The topic of the evening was: “How Americans can take back our country.”

Utah has become the third state to adopt a law exempting guns and ammunition made, sold and used in the state from federal regulations under the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Tennessee and Montana have already enacted such laws, and reports indicate 30 additional states have initiated action in some form to challenge the federal government and seek exemptions from gun regulations.

Plans for Stealing Future Elections
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
There are disturbing indications that the Obama Administration plans to retain perpetual power by stealing future elections. Whether their plans can and will be successful or disrupted depends entirely upon the extent that the American people remain vigilant and their determination to sacrificially do whatever is necessary to assure that we have free and honest elections in order to remain free.
If Democrat members of Congress were convinced that there would be free and honest elections in November 2010, there is no way that many of them would risk their political future by voting for the Obama-care medical takeover. They would be swept out of office by a backlash vote against this reckless, dictatorial measure.
What's God Doing?
- By Ray Simmons
The mad rush to somehow, anyway, get a health care bill passed should be a clarion signal to everyone that the purpose is not the improvement of health care for the American people but to put in place a framework from which this "Progressive Administration" can complete the destruction of our constitutional republic. As I am writing this we are perhaps just days away from a House vote that will grant a victory to the "Progressive Administration."

The Battle for Historical Truth
Shortly before his death at the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee, on November 30, 1864, Irish-born Confederate Major General Patrick Cleburne reminded his comrades in arms of the possible cost of surrender:
“Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youths will be trained by Northern school teachers; learn from Northern school books THEIR version of the war; and taught to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects of derision.”

What the Government Gives, It Can Take Away
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Those who are anxious to seek government solutions to all of our problems need to be reminded that what the government has power to give it also has the power to take away. In recent years, it has become quite routine for elected officials to use the taxpayers’ money to buy the votes of both taxpayers and those who pay no taxes. Elected officials and bureaucrats are also empowered to terrorize citizens by threats or actually taking away promised government support. This practice has reached epidemic proportions and is on the verge of destroying trust of citizens in their government, collapsing our economic system and destroying the republic.
Sloan Asks Court to Prohibit Disbursement of “Council District Expense Funds”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Council Considered New Rules at March 2 Meeting
Edward D. Sloan, Jr., and the South Carolina Public Interest Foundation petitioned the Court of Common Pleas in Greenville Friday, February 26, to prohibit Greenville County from “disbursement of funds from the Council District Expense Fund.”
The complaint for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief was filed just two working days prior to the Council’s scheduled meeting to receive advice from legal council regarding rule changes necessary to comply with the Feb. 8 ruling by Judge John C. Few that the “Council District Expense Fund portion of the 2006-2007 budget for Greenville County is declared to be an impermissible delegation of legislative authority, and thus to be illegal.”
Post 3 Members Visit Norfolk Naval Base
- By Gilbert Scales
Shortly after 6 a.m. on a rather cold Wednesday morning last month, forty-five American Legion Post 3 members left Greenville for a bus trip to Norfolk, VA.
The trip resulted from an eventful week that took place October 5-10, 2009. Greenville was chosen by the U.S. Navy Outreach as one of twenty-three cities in the United States for a group of U.S. Navy officers and sailors to visit and explain to citizens what the U.S. Navy is doing with regard to the “War On Terror,” as well as humanitarian projects around the world.

Remembering the Vietnam War
The late Harry G. Summers Jr., Colonel of Infantry, and distinguished faculty member of the Army War College, often called people’s attention to the fact that considerable differences in the treatment of the Vietnam War can be seen in the literature published in academia and that published by the veterans who fought it. He also pointed out that even among the combat veterans there are differences according to the time frame of their involvement and the role they played.

Victims of “Cultural Marxism”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Cultural Marxism is systematically stamping out vestiges of Western Civilization and the Free Enterprise System that has made the United States of America the envy of the world and provided the highest standard of living known to mankind for more than two centuries. The pace of destruction has accelerated in recent months and citizens are becoming fearful of losing their God-given freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.
Many Americans view the economic chaos occurring in the United States in the past year since the inauguration of President Obama to result from inexperience or incompetence. Leftists and some African-American leaders view the mounting economic problems as resulting from lack of cooperation by Republicans and criticism by Conservatives. Tragically, those described above are victims of Cultural Marxism and fail to recognize that they have been duped. They are duped by those who know what they are doing and are following a carefully implemented plan.
Chemtrails and HAARP
- By Frank Bernard Osteen
Several years ago Russ Cassell of WORD/WYRD radio directed my attention to chemtrails. Then, around two years ago, I inadvertently began what was to become a research project about the history of the Bavarian Illuminati, as represented in Canadian Navy Commander William Guy Carr’s 1954 and 1958 book, Pawns in the Game. With regard to the New World Order, as announced by
the erection of the Georgia Guidestones in March 1980, chemtrails have been noted since 1997 over many parts of the world. “Sustainable development” is the key phrase, from the Greenville County Council’s apparent efforts to implement the UN Agenda 21 to the far-fetched idea of worldwide “population reduction.” The latter is where chemtrails and HAARP may come into play.

Remembering the German Hyperinflation of 1922-23
- By Mike Scruggs
Can It Happen Here?
The $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus package passed last year pushed the annual fiscal deficit to $1.89 trillion, almost doubling the last Bush deficit of $1.02 trillion. Not that Bush has anything to brag about, the largest deficit in the Clinton years was $347 billion, and way back in the Nixon years the highest annual deficit was only $31 billion. More ominously, it looks like President Obama will chalk up another $1.8 trillion deficit this year. Our national debt is already $12.5 trillion. Yet the President is proposing healthcare, immigration, environmental, and education legislation that could send federal, state, and local government spending out of sight.

Gen. Alexander Haig: Dead at Age 85
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The announced death of Alexander “Al” Haig brought back many memories of a man who spent six decades of his life in service to his country. Haig was born in a suburb of Philadelphia, Dec. 2, 1924. As a boy he dreamed of a military career, received an appointment to the US Military Academy and graduated from West Point with the class of 1947. He served in combat in both Korea and Vietnam. As an Army Colonel he became a military advisor to Henry Kissinger in the Nixon Administration. President Nixon promoted Haig from 2 to 4 star general, breaking tradition and passing over 240 more senior officers. He served as Chief of Staff for Nixon during the Watergate Hearings and became the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO forces under President Ford. He resigned from that position when President Carter created the Iranian disaster and was later appointed Secretary of State by President Reagan. He resigned due to bickering within the Reagan Cabinet. George Shultz, his successor at State described Haig as “a patriot’s patriot. No matter how you sliced him, it came out red, white and blue.”
Tap Water Disinfectant Chloramine?
- By Michelle Anderson - Greenville, SC
Most people do not know that chloramine is the tap water disinfectant used in Greenville by Greenville Water System and in Greer by Greer Commission of Public Works. Chloramine is a combination of bleach and ammonia - two cleaners that you are told to never combine when cleaning.
My son and I have experienced burning, red, itchy skin rashes that no doctor could treat and digestive symptoms including nausea, horrible abdominal cramps, and irritable bowel symptoms. I figured out it was the water after going to chloramine.org which tells symptoms that others are having and shows example skin rashes before and after using chloraminated water. I learned that about 1,000 people in an organization called Citizens Concerned About Chloramine (CCAC) were able to prove cause and effect with chloramine. They are dramatically better after avoiding chloramine, but this takes a lot of work.
The Problem Is Government Unions
- By Phyllis Schlafly
The Senate’s decisive defeat of confirmation of radical labor lawyer Craig Becker is the first tangible result of the Massachusetts Miracle, which made Scott Brown the 41st Republican in the U.S. Senate. Two red-state Democrats also voted not to proceed toward a vote on President Obama’s nomination of Becker to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Becker is a top lawyer for the Service Employees International Union, which spent $60 million to elect Obama. SEIU’s boss, Andy Stern, was the most frequent visitor to Obama’s White House last year.
