One More Time!

Blue Ridge native Aaron Tippin launched his musical career with a song titled: If You Don’t Stand for Something, You Will Fall for Anything. The common-sense song was very popular during the Gulf War.
It is also instructive to recognize that “the people perish for lack of knowledge.” Our nation is in jeopardy and Americans are in danger of losing their freedom for lack of knowledge and unwillingness to take a stand against evil. Thousands of young adults voted for Barack Obama twice because of a lack of truthful knowledge. Thousands of Conservatives and Christians failed to vote in the presidential election due to lack of knowledge of the impact of their actions.
Downtown Memphis – Guitars, Chinese Art, Firefighting and a Pyramid
- By Terry M. Thacker
“If you are caught taking pictures inside the factory you will be removed from the tour and your pictures will be deleted.” This was the general gist of a statement that I and a group of more than a dozen other tourists heard before we embarked on a guided tour of the Gibson guitar plant in Memphis.
I was three days into a sight-seeing trip to northern Alabama, northern Mississippi and southwestern Tennessee this past August when I found myself on the receiving end of this stern warning. After visiting several other sites in the Memphis area, I left my car at the Tennessee Welcome Center, located near the Mud Island tourist attraction, and rode the trolley to Main Street, where I disembarked.
“Civil War” Cockades Presented by Heather Sheen
- By Jennifer Sawyer
The JB Kershaw Chapter UDC was delighted to have Heather Sheen of Greenville #51 UDC present “Civil War” Cockades at their March 19 meeting. Heather has probably become a national authority on the subject as she began researching the topic before the Sesquicentennial of the Firing on Ft. Sumter, April, 2011. In fact, she was contacted by the producers of the recent movie “Les Miserable” and asked if she could provide 3000 cockades for opening night of the movie! Little did they know that these are hand-made and could not be done in three short weeks.
Chapter ladies found the topic very interesting as well as the items she brought with her, some of which she had made, and others from different time periods in history. Heather apologized for calling it the “Civil War” as that is not the correct name for this period in history. But, in order to move along quickly and cover a lot of information, she used this shortened name.
Sheriff’s Office Receives Annual DUI
- By Deputy Jonathan Smith
On April 3rd the South Carolina Department of Public Safety held its 8th annual DUI enforcement recognition and 2012 Law Enforcement DUI Challenge Ceremonies in Columbia. Law Enforcement officers and agencies were recognized for their efforts in 2012 to enforce that state’s DUI laws by locating and arresting impaired drivers from South Carolina’s roadways.
Special Operations Veterans Demanding Benghazi Justice
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“They Went to the Sound of the Guns. They Were Saving People, but they Couldn't be Saved Themselves Because of the Ineptitude or the Political Chicanery of an Administration that doesn't even care about the Military.”
Seven hundred retired military Special Operations personnel who voluntarily put their lives on the line for their country, have signed a petition demanding that the U. S. House of Representatives convene a special (select) committee to uncover the answers to lingering questions about the Benghazi terrorist attack that killed a U. S. Ambassador and three others, including two Navy SEALs. Members of the Special Operations “brotherhood” ranging from four-star generals to Army privates signed the petition, according to a spokesman for the veterans group Special Operations Speaks. A letter to Congressional leaders contained 16 questions that veterans believe need better answers.
Weak Republicans in the U.S. Senate
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is the man Republicans count on to make a maximum effort to defeat Obamacare in the United States Senate. He sounded great on C-Span when he denounced Obamacare at the Conservative Political Action Conference. He dramatically stood by the six-foot tall stack of more than 20,000 pages of regulations that have been issued so far to implement Obamacare, and announced that 828 pages of new regulations had been issued in just one day.
McConnell sounds tough on the Senate floor with television cameras present. “This law is a disaster waiting to happen,” he insisted. “Imagine the burden we’re placing on the single mom who wants to open her own store. Or the young entrepreneur who wants to sell some new idea. Or the business owner we all know back home – the folks who employ so many of our constituents. We’re hitting them with a brick of regulations.
Opening of the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library at Beauvoir, Biloxi, Mississippi
- By Pam Evans
The Sons of Confederate Veterans held its 2013 Sesquicentennial Heritage Rally on Saturday, March 16, 2013, in Biloxi, Mississippi, at the opening of the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library and Museum on the grounds of Beauvior, the last home of President and Mrs. Jefferson Davis in the years following the War Between the States. Beauvoir was the site of his retirement and the place where he wrote his two-volume memoir, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government. Following his death, the home was sold to the Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans with two stipulations:first, the property was to be used as a Confederate Veterans Home for the veterans and their widows at no charge to them.
Greenville Begins Bike Share Program
- By James "Chip" Moore
Scheduled to open in the Spring of 2013 Greenville County will begin in the next-next-generation bike-sharing program. With several stations located around Downtown, participants will be able to rent bicycles from a B-cycle station and return it to any other B-station when they are done.
B-cycle is the only bike-sharing program that measures the actual distance traveled on each ride and keeps track of the calories burned and the carbon emissions prevented. This service is available for members that sign up online by creating their own personal online profile.
Republicans Urge Withdrawal from “Common Core State Standards Initiative”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Resolutions Passed Opposing Federally Dictated Intrusive Unfunded Education Mandate
The Greenville County Republican Women’s Club during their March luncheon meeting at the Poinsett Club unanimously passed a resolution asking state leaders to take four actions to distance South Carolina from the education Common Core State Standards Initiative and the SBAC assessment scheme.
Common Core is described by opponents as “an attempt by progressive education “reformers” in Washington, D.C. to herd the states into national standards, eventually culminating in a national curriculum. The Obama Administration used stimulus money and “Race to the Top” grants to create incentives for 45 states and the District of Columbia to accept the mandates. Currently sixteen states have withdrawn or are in the process of doing so.
“Uncle Joe” Learning to Waste Money
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
As a career United States Senator, Vice President Joe Biden made a big deal out of riding the train from Delaware to Washington. He identified with the “common man” and “blue collar” worker. As Vice President in his second term and visions of never being held accountable for his actions, he has “thrown caution to the wind.” Into his fifth year as partner with the spender in chief, Uncle “crazy” Joe has learned to live “high on the hog” using the taxpayers’ money.
Biden has apparently always played the dual roll of “poor man” and the “elite Senator,” depending on who he is with at the time. Some would say he is a very versatile phony. When he was contemplating running for president, Biden visited a church in Greenville. The church family prepared a fantastic breakfast of eggs, bacon, gravy, hot “cat head” biscuits and a variety of fruit and treated Biden with the highest degree of Southern hospitality.
Gangs a Problem in Greenville
- By James "Chip" Moore
Let there be no mistake, Greenville County does have a gang problem. The Sheriff’s office has dedicated two officers to deal solely with gang trends and people, and another officer has been dedicated to deal with gangs in school.
Even though it is a problem, the Sheriff’s office is hitting it head-on. In Greenville County there have been no less than 57 documented gangs such as street and biker gangs. Each gang is classified on different levels.
Tim Tebow and the Preacher

Pastor Responds to Tebow Cancellation of Speaking Engagement
New York Jets Quarterback Tim Tebow had been scheduled to speak at the dedication of Dallas, Texas, First Baptist Church’s new $130 million campus next month.
First Baptist Pastor Robert Jeffress has been a strong advocate for traditional marriage between one man and one woman and has been an uncompromising supporter of Biblical truth.
The liberal media, politicians and some so-called Protestant pastors have attacked Pastor Jeffress for his lack of support and agreement with Muslim, Catholic and Mormon doctrine.
Member of “Greatest Generation” Turns 90
- By Jennifer Sawyer
Luther Conway “Skip” Shelton born March 12, 1923, in Cleveland, Ohio, turned 90 this Mar. 12, 2013.
Skip, as he is known, is a decorated WWII veteran and part of what the writer considers the “greatest generation” – those who gave all to save the world from dominance by Germany and Japan. Skip was raised in Greenville and joined the Air Force in 1943, halfway through the war. He trained as a pilot in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Skip attended bomber school in Washington State and was sent to England later in 1943.
Cal Thomas Challenges Pro-Life Audience With Chilling Reality
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Author and television commentator Cal Thomas kept his audience of more than a thousand sitting on the edge of their chairs as he brought them from laughter to tears and back to laughter.
Thomas was the guest speaker at the Piedmont Women’s Center Annual Banquet for Life. He wove a brilliant blend of tasteful humor with the very somber subject of life, death, murder and the wrath of God.
Prior to his presentation, Thomas and his audience witnessed live ultrasound images of 12 and 14 week old unborn babies in the womb of volunteers on the large
TD Center screen. A guided tour of the developing infant was led by a Piedmont Women’s Center staff nurse.
Nullification Hearing Draws Crowd of Supporters
- By James "Chip" Moore
Walter Williams and Kent Masterson Brown were high profile speakers in support of nullification
An overflowing crowd of supporters showed up to witness the second SC House subcommittee pass legislation for the nullification of Obamacare. Due to the large crowd the Master-at-Arms had to turn people away once they ran out of chairs. An overflow room was set up where the event could be listened to by concerned citizens.
With a limited amount of time for the subcommittee to make a decision there was only enough time for two speakers to speak before representatives. Dr. Walter Williams, a George Mason University professor, and Kent Masterson Brown, a constitutional attorney, were the speakers.
What Has Your Pastor Done?
- By Coach Dave Daubenmire
I love Jesus and I am not ashamed to say so. But I don’t love him in the way a lot of you reading this do.
I don’t want to sit on His lap and I don’t want to have Him wrap His arms around me and hug me.
I love him like a marine loves his drill sergeant; like a boxer loves his trainer; like a football player love his coach. I love him the way a warrior loves a warrior. I want to fight for Him. I want to defend His Name. I want to help Him expand His Kingdom.
Senator Rand Paul Lights Fire Under Rinos
- By Frank Raddish
Senator Rand Paul's filibuster for about thirteen hours was to draw attention to the possibility that an ever encroaching federal government could use drones against its own people. A few years ago the Department of Homeland Security sent out a memo to police agencies across the country labeling those who are strongly against abortion as right wing terrorists. This certainly included Bible believing Christians who are opposed to abortion and same-sex marriage. It is not unthinkable that the abuse of power by a President of this country could result in using drones against American citizens that are considered enemies of the state because of their political activism. Ask the Chinese and Russian peoples about such a possibility like this happening. I disagree with Senator Paul on a few issues, but he is a sincere individual who is not a “yes” man for the Rino establishment in Washington, D.C.
The SPLC Is At It Again
- By Chuck Baldwin
Well, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is at it again. In their typical obsessive hate-filled paranoia, the SPLC has issued another baseless assassination piece against anyone whom they consider to be “right-wing.” They call their hit piece, “The Year in Hate and Extremism.” Of course, only “right-wing” leaders are so characterized. According to the SPLC, left-wing leaders are always the voices of reason and goodness. Barf!
The SPLC article lists several conservative leaders as examples of “hate and extremism.” They include Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), U.S. Representative Trey Radel (R-FL), former Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack, Matt Barber of the Liberty Counsel, FOX News radio host Todd Starnes, and ConservativeDaily.com’s Tony Adkins. “Even further to the right,” according to the SPLC, are Oath Keepers (founded by Stewart Rhodes), Judicial Watch’s Larry Klayman, and, yes, yours truly.
Is it Ethical to Make Unethical Activities Legal and Profitable?
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Hundreds of private citizens in South Carolina are appointed by elected officials to serve on state and county level boards and commissions. Most citizens who serve in these government positions are unpaid, but receive a few perks. And most seek these appointments for honorable purposes. They want to serve their communities, county or state to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the agencies they would oversee.
At the state level, appointed boards and commissions regulate the energy companies that operate a monopoly in the state and the department that contracts for road and bridge building and scores of others including medical and legal associations. Without adequate oversight, there are opportunities for these appointments to be enthusiastically sought after and very beneficial financially by those who would abuse their power.
BJU Hosts Gold Rush Daze
- By Lee B. Miller
On March12, the Bob Jones University student body came together for a day of friendly competition, fun and fireworks during “Gold Rush Daze.”
The Gold Rush Daze competition happens just once every four years. BJU senior Victoria Sparkman said this time frame helps the student body look forward to it. “I think of it like the Bob Jones Olympics,” Sparkman said.
The BJU student body was divided into two teams, Green Thunder and Red Lightning, with faculty being able to join either team. While the competition games kicked off in the afternoon, the day was started with faculty members serving breakfast in bed to students in the residence halls.
Don't Use E15 Fuel if Your Car is Older Than 2012
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The Warning Comes from AAA and Several Car Manufacturers. E15 is Coming to a Station near you Soon. Beware! It can Void Your Warranty and Destroy your Engine.
The EPA has approved adding 15 percent alcohol to what is called “regular gas.” It is supposedly fine for use in 2013 models, but very harmful to vehicles manufactured before 2012.
The Obama Administration is pushing it because it complies with their environmentalist agenda. It destroys the older gasoline burning cars they hate and promotes the sale of new small cars such as the Chevy Volt that government pays people to buy.
Fox Business reported that E15 is currently being sold in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. Motorists are warned to be observant when you pull in to the pump and be sure you are not pumping E15 into a car older than 2012. Several car manufacturers have announced that use of E15 will void warranties in their cars, or that they will not pay for repairs caused by the alcohol in E15.
RINOs in Panic Mode, “Straw Man” Distracts from Truth
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The Republican Party and all political parties in South Carolina are under attack by the “GOP” controlled state Senate and House. S.2, the bill passed by the GOP controlled Senate last month, takes political parties out of the political party candidate filings process and turns it over to government bureaucrats. H. 3298, the bill recently passed by the GOP controlled House, does the same. The House bill is even worse than the Senate version because it places further restrictions on political parties. The bills are designed to minimize conservative influence in the selection of Republican candidates.
These bills are falsely advertised as “election reform” to allegedly correct the fiasco created by the legislature and State Supreme Court last year. That disaster designed to protect incumbents from grass roots uprising removed hundreds of candidates from ballots and disenfranchised thousands of voters.

“Open Carry” Supporters Pack Greenville County Council Chambers
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“Just Allow me to Defend Myself and My family”
There was standing room only at Greenville County Square while Senator Lee Bright and his Senate Colleagues were holding a hearing on the “open carry” bill that is making its way through the South Carolina Senate.
The walls were lined by people who could not find seats and some were sitting in the entrances and isles.
All attendees were required to remove items from their pockets and be checked with a metal detector. It was the largest contingent of law enforcement officers seen at Greenville County Square since officers stood by and allowed a group of MLK supporters led by Rev. Jesse Jackson drive Council members from their seats and occupy their chairs and meeting room overnight.
Veterans Systematically Deprived of Second Amendment Rights
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
VA Being Used by Anti-Gun Zealots to Betray War Weary Veterans They are Paid to Help
It is not good for veterans to distrust the VA on whom many depend for medical care and other important earned benefits. That trust that is critically important between physician and patient is being destroyed by anti-gun zealots and anti-war leftists who fear veterans who return from fighting for the freedom of strangers to see their freedom being systematically taken away by politicians and bureaucrats.
WND reports that the ObamaAdministration insists it’s routine for officials to send letters to veterans informing them that they may be declared incompetent and consequently stripped of their Second Amendment rights.
A Look at Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Don Gordon of Columbia, South Carolina, was guest speaker at the February meeting of the Sixteenth Regiment, SCV in Greenville. He discussed General Nathan Bedford Forrest, renowned cavalry leader, considered by many to be the finest produced by the Confederacy. At the conclusion of his presentation, Mr. Gordon quoted from memory a lengthy segment of the final speech Forrest gave to his troops 3-days before the final surrender. The presentation drew an enthusiastic standing ovation from the packed banquet room at the Phoenix Inn.
Responding to the Anti-homeschoolers
- By Ray Sheen
Recently, a bill was introduced in the South Carolina legislature that would have severely curtailed homeschooling. I was pleased to see the rapid response of homeschoolers to this threat to our freedoms. Based upon some of the questions and concerns that we fielded during this time, I thought it would be helpful to review how to respond to those who attack homeschooling.
Over the years, I have found that people who oppose homeschooling, or who want to severely regulate it, fall into one of three categories. There are those who oppose based upon ideological principles. There are those who oppose based upon ignorance of homeschooling. And there are those who oppose because of insecurity about their own educational decisions. Our response to each of these three groups should be different.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio A True Public Servant
- By Frank Raddish
Joe Arpaio served in the U.S Army from 1950 to 1953. Then Arpaio was employed as a police officer in Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas, Nevada for almost five years. He also was a federal narcotics agent and he infiltrated drug rings in Turkey, the Middle East, Mexico, Central, and South America. Arpaio worked to stop drug operations in U.S. cities. He was the top federal law enforcement officer with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in Texas and Arizona which included the border between Mexico and these two states.
In 1992 Arpaio campaigned and was elected Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. Since that first election he has been elected five other times due to the fine service that he has provided for the people of Maricopa County. Arpaio has about 10,000 inmates in his jail system. In August of 1993, he started the controversial “Tent City” for convicted inmates. About two thousand men and women serve their sentences in this tent compound. Also Arpaio puts the inmates to work through chain gangs that clean streets, cut grass, pick up litter, and dig graves to bury people in at the county cemetery.
Deliberate Destruction of the Republican Party
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
It is becoming crystal clear that President Obama is using the full power and resources of the United States Government to destroy the Republican Party once and for all. His only viable political opponents are the conservatives in the Republican Party. He knows that they must be discredited and destroyed if he is to succeed in completing the destruction of the constitutional republic and creation of a socialist dictatorship that has been the dream of leftists for decades.
Republicans are at a great disadvantage. They are constantly under attack by Obama. He can lie without challenge by the dominant leftist media. It is now becoming known that the administration has been threatening reporters who would report on issues that could be embarrassing for Obama. Many so-called “journalists” do not need to be threatened. They are eager to help any they can to move the nation to a socialist “heaven on earth.”
BJU Hosts Hobby Lobby President Steve Green
- By Lee B. Miller
Hobby Lobby president Steve Green addressed an audience of more than 3,000 at Bob Jones University on Feb. 25.
Dr. Bob Jones, III, chancellor of BJU, introduced Green as a man who stands boldly for his faith. “His passion is the Gospel,” Jones said.
Jones also commented on the work Green is doing through Passages, a traveling display of 400 biblical artifacts from the Green Collection of more than 40,000 biblical antiquities. “It’s an exhibit that’s all about the authority, preservation and integrity of the Holy Scriptures,” Jones said. Passages is currently on display in Charlotte, N.C., through March 30.
