Greenville County Chicken Ordinance Dead – For Now
- By James "Chip" Moore and Bob Dill
Council Majority Fouled by their Own Rules
The Greenville County proposed Chicken Ordinance met its fate Tuesday, November 6, by a vote of seven in favor, three against and two absent. Following the vote, the County Attorney reminded the Chairman that the particular motion required 8 votes in favor according to Council rules. The controversial ordinance is now dead, at least for a while.
Some Council members stated that without the ordinance some chicken owners in zoned areas of the county are vulnerable to being cited by county inspectors for having chickens.

How Did Obama Win a Second Term?
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
We have been informed that President Barack Hussein Obama has won a second term as president of the United States. Joseph Farah and others insist that the election was won through voter fraud. There is much evidence to support that conclusion, however, that ignores the rest of the story. Many factors had a role in the Obama win.
Democrats and misguided Republicans place the blame for the GOP loss on failure of Republicans to identify with and cater to those of the black and brown races, homosexuals and single women seeking abortions and government provided birth control and other benefits. Their argument has some validity but is not the solution to GOP losses.

- By Bob Dill, Publisher

Reece was a petition candidate who attempted to convince the public that she was a Republican. The attempt obviously failed. She was challenging the choice of Republican voters in a hotly contested primary.
President and Cabinet must be Held Accountable for Benghazi Betrayal
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Regardless of the outcome of the presidential election, President Obama and his cabinet must be held accountable for the betrayal and abandonment of the American Ambassador and others in Benghazi, Libya.
This is a national security matter of the highest order. Americans in uniform have lost trust in their Commander-in-Chief and top civilian and military leaders. Cabinet members with the possible exception of the CIA are puppets of President Obama who put them in power.

- By James "Chip" Moore
While praying to the Lord in September, Fred Maus was given direction to open a ministry to help returning military and their families while they search for housing. After the previous tenant left at the end of September, the Lord’s direction was not to rent it out again. Instead, Maus is opening the doors to a fully furnished home with staple food for up to two weeks for military returning from a tour of duty overseas, including their spouse and children.
Gowdy brings attention to Executive Branch Abuses
- By James "Chip" Moore
Congressman speaks to Greenville Tea Party
When Congressman Trey Gowdy spoke to the Greenville Tea Party on Thursday, November 1st, 2012, there were several abuses he wanted to make sure the crowd knew about. Those topics were Solyndra, manipulating the debt ceiling, recess appointments, and immigration.
A firm believer that the government should not be in the structure of picking winners and losers from the business end, Gowdy gave the example of Solyndra going bankrupt after $527 million in aid was given from the government. Gowdy believes that the government should wear a blindfold when it comes to handing out aid where grants are awarded by merits, and the executive branch shouldn’t fill out the applications for organizations like what has happened in the past.World War II Honor Flight Vets Take Special Ride on B-24 and B-17

Administration Stonewalling on Benghazi Terrorist Attack
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
What Did the President Know, When Did He Know it, and What Did He Do About it?
On September 11, 2012, a well-organized and well-armed al-Qaeda force attacked the United States Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. U. S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans, including two former Navy Seals working for the CIA, were massacred in a battle that lasted some seven hours.
For several weeks, the Obama Administration claimed the attack grew out of a spontaneous demonstration in reaction to a video critical of Mohammed.
Greenville County “Ethics” Rules Violated
- By Harry Kibler - Founder of RINO Hunt, Pelzer, SC
Should a lawmaker be able to sponsor and pass legislation that funnels money into his own company or a company he works for? Should a Council member be able to commit public money when it directly benefits himself?
If the public were aware of where the elected official earned his money it may change how many laws are created and how they affect the citizens they serve.
The White House's Voter Protection Racket
- By James Aldridge - Anderson, SC
Earlier this year, the Pew Center described our voter registration system as "Inaccurate, Costly. and Inefficient." It reported that 24 million voter registrations in the U.S. are not valid; and that more than 4.5 million deceased are listed as voters or registered in more than one state. Still, the Obama Administration, and its 'attack dog,' Attorney General Eric Holder, is suing states that are enacting common sense voter ID laws to correct these problems.
Most Important and Corrupt Election in our Lifetime
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
An administration that has exercised power for four years based on falsehoods and deception is now required to base their reelection campaign on falsehoods and deception in order to be consistent by maintaining the deception and retain power for another four years. Nothing will be too unethical, immoral or dishonest for them to use in the next thirty days of the campaign, and the tricks have already begun.
Hardly anyone believes the Administration report that unemployment has suddenly dropped from 8.2 to 7.8 percent. They have manipulated numbers before and they have done it again. A convenient election-year deception.

Political Allegiances In Order to Gain Office
- By Jim and Nancy Page - Greenville, SC
Costumes and fall weather seem to go together. Turn on the TV, and you’ll recognize beloved football mascots. Answer the doorbell, and you’ll see dressed-up children hoping for candy.
Unfortunately, voters must also contend with disguises that have less sentimental appeal and far more serious implications for the state. Consider how our country has spent the last four years struggling through the administration of a politician who portrayed his values as something far different from his true character.
Spiritual Warfare of the Deadly Kind
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
More than anytime in my lifetime, the upcoming elections involve not just flesh and blood, but the spiritual realm. Many issues at stake involve clear-cut battles involving good and evil. That is not to say that all of the choices are clear, because they are not. There are many gray areas, where voters must use the uncommon ability to apply common sense. For the Christian, decisions should be easier, because Christians have the Scripture and the Holy Spirit as advisers.

Haley Upset Over “Ballot Fiasco”
- By James "Chip" Moore
Problem is Jake Knotts
During a town hall meeting in Mauldin conducted by S.C. Governor Nikki Haley on September 27, 2012, moderator Jim Lee of the Palmetto Conservatives opened up questions on the topic of the “ballot fiasco” presently going on in this election cycle.
“”We had a little problem with the ballots this time around, and a lot of candidates got thrown off the ballot. I’m curious, what do you think specifically needs to be done in order to correct that problem to make sure the process is transparent, accountable, reliable, and so that people don’t have to require an attorney to become a candidate on a ballot, and we don’t have this nonsense of the courts getting involved in party primaries,” asked Lee.

Muslim Brotherhood Well-Represented in Obama Administration
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
It is a well-documented fact that Communist ideology is strongly represented in the Progressive Caucus of the United States Congress. Congressman Allen West has been outspoken about this fact. This political reality compromises the ability of The United States to deal effectively with Communist governments.
While Communism is a danger to free people wherever it exists, the radical Muslim Brotherhood has penetrated deep into the Obama Administration according to a former FBI special agent and a Muslim reformer based in Canada. World Net Daily (WND.COM) has published an exclusive report giving names of those holding important positions in the Obama Administration who are closely associated with the Muslim Brotherhood that allegedly was involved in the murder of the U. S. Ambassador to Libya and other Americans.
