White Requests Resolution Protecting  Religious Freedom

Robert G. “Butch” Taylor defined “conservative” for members of the Greenville County Legislative Delegation during their

meeting in Greenville, Monday evening. Taylor is president of the Greenville County Taxpayers Association, an active advocate for good government and an outspoken critic of unconstitutional legislation and corrupt government officials.

While many elected officials in South Carolina describe themselves as “conservative,” some would not measure up to the definition and tests described by Butch Taylor and shared by many informed voters. Recent disturbing events are expected to cause voters to more closely examine the voting records, morals and ethics of candidates for public office prior to future elections.

Taylor proceeded with his definition of a conservative candidate or elected official:

“A conservative is a person who has discernment. He knows the difference between right and wrong. It is a person who has principles, who is honest. It is a person who supports traditional values of God, family and country. It is a person who abides by the U. S. Constitution and obeys the Ten Commandments and a person who practices the golden rule. If you can be this person, in my book you are a conservative.”

Taylor listed three tests that any legislative proposal should meet before becoming law.

“The first test: Is it constitutional?

“The second test: Is it necessary? The third test: Is it affordable?”

Taylor informed the lawmakers that if the legislation does not pass the constitutional test it does not go to the next step. “If it passes the first two steps and we can’t afford it, we don’t need it, so forget it.”

He concluded by saying all candidates should abide by the rule of law and proceeded to explain his definitions of the various kinds of law.

“There are three kinds of law. The first is spiritual law. That is biblical. The second is common law. It is common sense English law and it stems from scriptural law. And then there is constitutional law. It governs society but has its basis in scriptural and common law. The rule of force is war and the rule of law is peace.”

Ron White, who moved to South Carolina from Massachusetts and established a business here, asked the lawmakers to consider sponsoring a resolution stating clearly to governing powers that South Carolina will not be subject to laws contrary to God’s standards and the Constitution of the United States.

“President Obama recently told the people of Turkey that the United States is not a Christian nation. I would like to sponsor a referendum that would make South Carolina a Christian state. The goal of this referendum is to prevent our elected officials from making or enforcing any laws that are contrary to God’s standard,” White concluded.
