Kruzing on the Right Track
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Texas Republican Senator Ted Kruz has upset Democrats and Establishment Republicans by failing to follow the Republican Party leadership that wants to avoid a confrontation with Harry Reid and Barack Obama and just sit back and allow Obamacare to fail on it’s own and embarrass the Democrats. Then, they reason, the Democrats will allow the Republicans to help them fix the failed system and make it better.
That strategy sounds reasonable to citizens who somehow remain unaware of who Barack Obama is and what his agenda means to the future of our constitutional republic. All they would have to do to understand Obama’s every move would be to read a little about Sol Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and the Howard Piven methods.
New Advocacy Center Seeks To Inform Voters and Legislators
- By Advocacy Center
One of the attendees Saturday the 28th at an all-day training session said, “ Now I see what to do and its not all that hard.” She is one of the 14 that have joined the new Advocacy Center sponsored by the Greenville Tea Party.
“South Carolina lags behind her neighboring states on important factors that make life better. What is the problem?” asks Don Rogers, who along with Bill McShea, are heading up the new effort to change specific laws in the state. “Many of our state laws make us less productive, less educated, less healthy, less safe, and less free. Laws are made in Committees; we the people need to be there free-of charge in reserve VIP seats” Rogers declared.
Criminalizing the Right? Military Labels Founding Fathers “Extremist”
- By The New American - 9-23-13
Defense Department documents, obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request, purporting to train U.S. soldiers and sailors label the Founding Fathers of the United States as “extremists” and claim that “participation in extremism is inconsistent with the duties of military service.”
The documents, compiled from a January 2013 lecture on “Extremism” by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, claim:
In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.

No, We Don’t Have a Plan to Blow up the Bridge—or the Healthcare System
- By Jane M. Orient
If it’s your bridge, and not one being used by the enemy in wartime, you would want to obstruct a plan to destroy it. But what if the plan is called “healthcare reform”?
Republicans are lambasted for not having a Plan. In fact, they have had many proposals to decrease costs, improve patient care, and expand access to medical care. But the great universal Plan for healthcare reform? That’s one the Republicans, and most Americans, oppose—if “healthcare reform” means compulsory government-funded “insurance” and the destruction of private medicine, private insurance, freedom of choice, and traditional medical ethics. This used to be called “socialized medicine.”
Who is Educating Our Children?
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Last week, a website originating in Texas, said to be related to Glenn Beck, published an article alleging that a Greenville County high school was using a history text that stated the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution incorrectly. Calls came to the Greenville County School District. The District promptly issued a statement to the media stating that the allegation was correct and that more than one school in the District was using the senior class history book.
District schools had been notified of the error in the textbook as soon as administrators verified its existence. It further acknowledged that the book has been used in Greenville County Schools for five years and that it had been approved by the South Carolina Board of Education for inclusion in the list of approved texts.

Constitution Very Much Alive in America
- By James Moore
Coulter Speaks at Furman
When Ann Coulter was invited by the Furman University’s Conservative Students for a Better Tomorrow to speak on campus on September 19, there was one question that they wanted her to answer. The question that they felt most compelling to address was whether or not the Constitution was dead or alive in America.
“It may be dead in the ACLU meetings. It may be dead in the Democratic caucus, and it may be on life support in the Supreme Court, but in the hearts of the American people the Constitution is very much alive,” said Coulter.
Coulter feels that the Constitution is doing just fine. The problem, she feels, is that some of those in power refuse to read the document. From abortion rights to the right to bear arms, Coulter gave examples of how the left has tried to misinterpret rights, but has often failed. She spoke about how liberals are in favor of choice only when it pertains to topics that can further their agenda.
Exposing Common Core Event Brings National Experts to Columbia
- By SCPIE President, Sheri Few
Exposing Common Core, an education forum sponsored by South Carolina Parents Involved in Education (SCPIE), was held in Columbia over the weekend. The event was held at the Columbia Convention Center and began at 9am Saturday. SCPIE President Sheri Few welcomed approximately 150 people from all across the state who came to hear national experts present the problems with the Common Core National Standards.
American Principles Project Jane Robbins gave an overview of the problems with Common Core and explained how the Federal government coerced states into adopting the standards. From a lawyer’s perspective, Jane explained that the Federal government’s involvement in the adoption of the standards, and the accompanying assessments, violates the U.S. Constitution and three Federal statutes.

Do Republicans Offer an Alternative?
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Many Americans unsatisfied with the current regime in Washington, D. C. are asking the question: “Do Republicans offer an alternative?” For the nation, the question is difficult to answer. In South Carolina, the answer is easier because it is contained in state law. The same political party and plantation mentality that gave the Palmetto State “Jim Crow” laws and racial segregation for a century passed the laws that ensured that incumbents would be secure in their positions of power and new lawmakers would become loyal to them or have no legislative influence. This allowed the career politicians to maintain political power and control the wealth of the state, regardless of the shift in political winds.

Owens-Kennemore Marine Corps League were honorary pallbearers.
Eleventh Honor Flight Takes WWII Vets to Visit Washington Memorials
- By Paul Howell
On Thursday, Sep. 12, 2013, a group of 85 WWII veterans departed from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport to Washington, D.C., on the eleventh Honor Flight from Upstate South Carolina. The group, accompanied by one hundred guardians, doctors, nurses, support staff, and media visited the World War II, Vietnam, Korean and Marine Corps War Memorials. This flight marked the 300th nationwide for US Airways, the original charter for Honor Flight. Additional highlights for this trip included the largest number of African American veterans and female veterans that HFU has taken to date on any single flight; a guardian who was held captive in Vietnam, and suffered the POW camp as one of the longest-held captives; a WWII veteran who is a retired General and served as a pilot; and multiple stories from each of the honorees that we hope will be told in the weeks ahead to family, friends and congregations.
Greenville County Opens Unique Juvenile Detention Facility
- By James "Chip" Moore
A goal set by Greenville County in 2004 has finally come to fruition with the opening of the Juvenile Detention Facility and State Operated Assessment Center. The facility that was used to house work release inmates is now being used to bring together different agencies that will give Greenville County juveniles the best possible help that is offered. The facility is being hailed as a “one of its kind” support system unlike anything in the Southeast.
“The Greenville County Juvenile Detention Facility connected with the state operated assessment center is going to be a very successful program. We’ve brought together multiple agencies, placed them in a shared location allowing them to share resources while creating the best possible environment for at risk children and their families,” said Joe Kernell, Greenville County Administrator.

- By Bob Dill, Publisher

Converse College has announced it will reset its tuition price at $16,500, a 43 percent decrease from the current tuition price, for full-time students in its traditional undergraduate program starting with the 2014-15 academic year. The move aligns the institution's “sticker price” more-closely with the average net cost to attend. Converse is the first institution in South Carolina to make such a move.

Stay out of Syria!
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
An attack on a sovereign nation by another nation is an act of war. That is pure and simple. War results from a failure of diplomacy by national executives. The purpose of warfare is to “destroy the enemy and his will to fight.” The only sane outcome of war is “a military victory.” If that is not the objective, stay out! Don’t sacrifice American troops or precious resources to protect political egos and pride or credibility.
Israel's Chaotic Neighborhood
- By Dr. Al Snyder
Our U.S. President Obama is now planning to add to the widespread Middle East combustion by bombing Syria, because they have allegedly used chemical weapons on their own civilian people. Meanwhile Israel is still standing by, holding its breath, and watching with keen special interest. In fact, as Isreal looks to the north, south, east and west, they see nothing but trouble and turmoil among all their neighbor Arab and Moslem nations.

- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Observers from Columbia Jubilant after Groover's 55 to 52 Victory
Chad Groover won a narrow 55 to 52 victory over Samuel Harms Monday night to become the chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committee. The outcome, although virtually evenly divided, was seen by observers as a rejection of “Tea Party” and “RINO Hunt” Republican activists by “Establishment Republicans” and Sen. Lindsey Graham supporters.
The outcome was of great interest to South Carolina GOP executives and the legislative leadership in Columbia. House Speaker Bobby Harrell had an observer on site.
The election was conducted by secret ballot. Candidates spent more than an hour responding to questions from committeemen from the floor.
About Face, Retreat, Find Scapegoat
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Much of the nation acted surprised Saturday when President Obama “chickened” out on his “red line” threat to take action against Syria for using nerve gas on Syrian citizens. After his “about face” announcement, Obama retreated to safety of the golf course with “uncle Joe” and pitched the “hot potato” of dealing with his “red line” threat to an out of session Congress that won’t return to Washington until September 9th. It is not at all clear what action Congress will take. Regardless, it was a brilliant political move and escape strategy by an administration and president with a schizophrenic foreign policy that has painted itself in a corner with words that they can’t back up with deeds.
Imposing Political Correctness in Greenville County Schools

Limited Religious Expression Allowed on School Property by Students and Employees
While the elected Greenville County School Board was busy raising taxes and voting themselves pay raises, teachers were being instructed as to when, where and how they may pray. When schools opened last week, there was confusion, frustration and many unanswered questions.
All or some teachers and administrators were given a Power Point presentation describing in great detail how their religious practices would be regulated when acting in the capacity of a school employee.

Why Should We Place Our Trust in SCGOP Leadership?
- By Stephen Brown
Anyone paying the slightest attention to Republican Party politics knows that there are sharp divisions within the Republican Party regarding how to best fight and defeat the big government agenda of the Democrat Party. That liberal agenda is proudly championed by Democrats and often quietly enabled by their allies found within the ranks of the GOP. At the federal level, we see divisions within the Republican Party over such issues as border security, immigration, NSA surveillance of U.S. citizens without a warrant and the defunding of Obamacare. Many times we find the actions of conservative leaders within the Republican Party thwarted by those establishment Republicans, such as Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who undercut the efforts of our conservative movement and its leadership. Unfortunately, such divisions within the GOP are not only found in Washington. Those divisions are very much alive and in play right here at home in South Carolina.
