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.
Extremist Group Exposed Working With Obama’s Justice Department
- By The New American
The New American – March 4th – E-mails released January 30 by the non-partisan Judicial Watch (JW) group showed that Obama’s increasingly out-of-control Department of Justice was collaborating closely with the ultra-leftist Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). To make matters worse, hate-mongering propaganda issued by the widely criticized organization was implicated last year in an attempted mass-shooting at the conservative-leaning Family Research Council (FRC) headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Thomas Kendall Addressed GOP Women
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Dr. Thomas Kendall, above, with Greenville County Republican Women's Club President Debbie Spaugh, was guest speaker at the club's February luncheon meeting. Dr. Kendall, a Greenville physician and president-elect of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, highly sought speaker due to his knowledge of the impact of Obamacare on the quality of medical care and his passion for preserving the direct physician-patient relationship without third-party interference.
Dr. Kendall, the father of seven children, expressed his commitment to helping bring an end to abortion on demand in our state and nation.
“We are a right to work state. Why don't we become a right to life state?” Dr Kendall asked his audience.
‘Freedom Riders’ Rally in Council Chambers
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
‘Protect Us’ Rally Organizers Decry Double Standard, Demand Refund
Three bus loads of demonstrators numbering more than 150 stopped off in Greenville last Thursday and held a rally in Greenville County Council Chambers in violation of longstanding Council policy regarding use of facilities. The policy provides that Council Chambers may only be used by governmental entities for government business.
By close of business, Monday afternoon, Joe Kernel!, the County Administrator, could provide no information indicating that the mostly out-of-state demonstrators were required to pay any required fees or show proof of liability insurance that is required of local citizen groups who use County property for rallies or other gatherings. Responding to questions by telephone, Monday, Kernell denied having a role in violating Council policy and permitting the demonstrators to use Council chambers for their rally.

Disappointing Media Coverage
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
An estimated thousand to fifteen hundred Citizens of the Greenvillearea concerned about the overreaching of Constitutional limits by the federal government participated in the “National Day of Resistance” Saturday, February 23 rd. The local event was held in the parking lot at Greenville County Square and was called the “Protect Us Now” rally. It was 38 degrees and raining at 10:00 a.m. when the event began with a prayer. Hundreds of people had arrived in the past 15 minutes and they were still coming. They ranged from small children to the elderly. All were dressed for the weather and determined to do what they could to preserve freedom for their children and their grandchildren.
Representatives of all the local network affiliated television stations were present for at least part of the event – so was the Gannett daily newspaper published locally. Individuals who attended the rally and watched the evening reports on the three local network stations were disappointed in the coverage. Some were outraged.

Immigration Reform Deception
- By Mike Scruggs
The Negligible Distinction between Two Really Bad Plans
In late January, the “Gang-of-Eight” (Four radical Democrats and pro-amnesty Republican Senators McCain, Graham, Flake, and Rubio) launched Senate legislation to grant legal status (amnesty) and immediate work permits to millions of illegal immigrants now in the U.S.
Since the 1965 Immigration Act, U.S. immigration policy has been good for illegal immigrants, employers who use cheap foreign labor in preference to American labor, and the Democrat Party. It has been bad for American workers, law-abiding employers, taxpayers, their families, and the rule of law.

Protect Us Rally Prompts Prayer Meeting
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Hundreds Came to Rally and Pray in the Cold Rain
Hundreds of concerned citizens came to the parking lot of Greenville County Square on a cold, rainy Saturday morning to hear half a dozen speakers talk about what citizens can do to stop unconstitutional encroachment on the freedom of citizens of South Carolina. At the conclusion of the rally, attendees were invited to remain for a time of prayer if they wished to do so. A crowd estimated at more than 200 remained as a series of citizens led in prayer for our state, nation, elected leaders and the citizens they govern.
The local rally was part of the “National Day of Resistance,” a nationwide event planned to answer the question: “Where should we turn if all the bodies of the federal government conspire against the people?”
Real Help for ADHD
- By Laura Belknap
ADHD is a controversial subject in America today. Is it just a discipline problem? Is it just a gender issue blown out of proportion? Does it really exist at all? Part of the misunderstanding lies in the definition of ADHD itself. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is not really a single disease with a set course of treatment, but rather a collection of symptoms that may point to different underlying problems. One of the advantages of a home school setting for students with ADHD is that it offers flexibility for parents to explore the underlying issues that may be contributing to the out-of-control behavior they observe. Drugging ADHD students in school to make them compliant is like putting a band-aid on a compound fracture. It may keep the outward symptoms covered up during the school day, but it fails to cure the underlying issues.
South Carolina on Verge of Revolution
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
For the first time in my lifetime, citizens are afraid. They are angry, some are desperate and they are ready to take action. They are afraid of an increasingly dictatorial federal government, and angry because their elected officials in the South Carolina General Assembly appear unwilling to use the constitutional power of the state to protect the citizens.
Citizens were allegedly ridiculed and virtually ignored by members of a House committee recently when they attempted to convince committee members to support H-3101 Freedom of Healthcare Act. A second hearing has been promised.

23 Years of Outstanding Service to Greenville County
Charlotte McHaffie Lynch has worked for Greenville County for 23 years. She began serving as Executive assistant to the Greenville County Administrator in 1992 and continued in that role for 20 years. In 1995, Charlotte began working as Executive Assistant to the Greenville County Legislative Delegation in addition to working for the County Administrator. For much of the next 18 years, she performed two full-time jobs.
After 23 years of service, Charlotte felt it was time for her to retire. It was a sad occasion when Sen. Mike Fair, Chairman of the Greenville County Legislative Delegation, announced her retirement saying: “Charlotte is a remarkable person, and we will miss her.”

Why Medicaid Expansion is Wrong for South Carolina
- By Debbie Spaugh
Chairman Smith and members of the House Healthcare Budget Subcommittee:
I am Debbie Spaugh, President of the Greenville County Republican Women’s Club. Thank you for the opportunity to speak about your plans for the state’s healthcare budget. The Obamacare plan for giving more Americans access to health insurance coverage is through federal government-controlled insurance exchanges and expanding states’ Medicaid rolls. In South Carolina about 500,000 more people would be added to Medicaid. Why would South Carolina want to add a half-million people to a system that we cannot afford and does not work?
Obamacare: A Beehive of Stings You Weren’t Expecting
- By Elizabeth Lee Vliet
Many promises were made to different groups to sell the new healthcare law to a skeptical public. Having watched the medical insurance games–government and private–for my whole career, I thought these promises were too good to be true.
What is coming to light now is like “The Big Con” that Robert Redford’s character skillfully pulled off in the classic movie The Sting. Only the Pelosi-Reid-Obama trio forced through an even bigger “Sting” on the entire country, especially the very constituencies they promised their healthcare law would help.
Political Correctness: The Enemy Within
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Thomas Jefferson said, “Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.”
The first ten Amendments to the Constitution of the United States are called the “Bill of Rights.” the Tenth Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
John Breckinridge, who sponsored the Resolutions in the Kentucky House opposing the unconstitutional Alien and Sedition Acts, argued that when the federal government passed laws that extended beyond its constitutional powers, the people at the state level ought “to make a legislative declaration that, being unconstitutional, they are therefore void and of no effect.”

S. C. House Subcommittee Hostile to Obamacare Nullification
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Lawmakers “Fear Federal Government” More than Constituents
Some 150 citizens from across the Palmetto State attended a hearing on House Bills H3101 and H3473 last Wednesday, February 6, 2013. The hearing was conducted by the House Constitutional Laws Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee.
H3101 is the Obamacare Nullification Bill introduced by Rep. Bill Chumley who represents District 35 in Spartanburg and Greenville Counties. H3473 is a watered down, weakened substitute introduced by Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Greg Delleney. Both Chumley and Delleney were elected as Republicans.

Panetta’s Cowardly Decision
- By Phyllis Schlafly
In a newsworthy act of political cowardice, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta ran through the Pentagon’s exit door as he announced he is striking down the 1994 Combat Exclusion Law. His timing means his successor, presumably Chuck Hagel, will inherit the task of defending the order to assign women to front-line military combat.
Of course, Panetta doesn’t want to be grilled about his order. It’s lacking in common sense and it is toadying to the feminist officers who yearn to be 3- and 4-star generals based on the feminist dogma of gender interchangeability and on their desire to force men into situations to be commanded by feminists.
Defense Cuts Will Cost American Lives
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Viewers of C-SPAN saw the unbelievably naïve and incompetent testimony of the nominee for Secretary of Defense. He is the choice of the current Commander in Chief who is clearly determined to dismantle, demoralize and destroy out nation’s ability to conduct and win military engagements in the future.
If the American people and their elected representatives allow the planned cuts in the military to take place, it will certainly cost countless lives of American young people and, for the first time since 1865, possibly the death of thousands of innocent civilians at home.
Bipartisan Republican Suicide Proposal
- By Mike Scruggs
GOP Offered the Poisoned Chalice
A Bipartisan Gang of Eight in the U.S. Senate has teamed up to offer a Poisoned Chalice to nervous Republicans in the form of immigration “reform.” The four Republican senators are perennial immigration amnesty advocates John McCain (AZ) and Lindsey Graham (SC); Jeff Flake (AZ) whose career voting record on immigration issues is comparable to Graham’s; and hoped-to-be-conservative Marco Rubio, whose career voting record on immigration issues is only slightly less liberal than McCain’s. Many Republicans are taking this new amnesty proposal seriously because the Hispanic vote rose to over 10 percent of the electorate in the 2012 election and was even more Democratic than the usual two-to-one advantage over Republicans. The Hispanic share of the electoral vote is also likely to grow as a direct result of past amnesties and Federal Government failure to enforce immigration policies. The sales pitch to Republicans is that voting for this new amnesty will gain them more Hispanic votes. As with all the other amnesties (six) from 1987 to the Obama Administration, this one promises to be the last one necessary.
