Gowdy Answers Constitutional Questions
- By James "Chip" Moore
When Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) was asked if nullification of the Affordable Care Act was a waste of time, he said, “I think that every opportunity that you can take to remind the federal government that it is a limited powers government and it is limited to the enumerated powers, every opportunity that you have to remind us of that, is a point well taken.”
The Constitution Committee of Spartanburg County hosted Gowdy on Tuesday, January 29, in Sully’s banquet room at Riverfalls Plantation Golf Course for a panel discussion on the United States Constitution and the Rule of Law. The panel consisted of Dr. Christina Jeffrey from Wofford College, Bill Conley from Gaffney High School, and Paul Jansen the host of Let’s Talk Spartanburg.
Feinstein “Assault Weapons” Ban Would Effectively End Second Amendment
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Storage, Safety Requirements will Render Firearms Virtually Useless for Personal Protection in Homes
After reading Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s so-called “Assault Weapons” ban bill, Sen. Rand Paul described it as a “radical scheme,” and the “effective end of the Second Amendment in America.
“The gun grabbers are going for broke, doing everything they can to ‘cash in’ on the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. They’re targeting everything - - rifles. shotguns and even handguns – and every gun owner and gun purchase is to be catalogued and tracked by the federal government.”
Color Barrier: Tragedy of the Ages
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
More than 90 percent of Americans who are descendants of former slaves voted for Barack Obama for president. Included are many individuals who pastor Christian Churches, individuals who oppose the slaughter of unborn children and others who strongly believe in the biblical definition of marriage. Above all, these Americans treasure and celebrate freedom and liberty, of which their ancestors were deprived. Why then would they vote to elect someone president of the United States who fanatically opposes everything they stand for and is systematically destroying the freedom, liberty and unlimited opportunities all Americans enjoy by ignoring the protections guaranteed by the Constitution?
Laurie Lee Speaks on Precinct Reorganization at Upstate Republican Women’s Club Meeting
- By Thomas C. Hanson
Laurie Lee, third vice chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party, spoke about precinct reorganization at the luncheon meeting of the Upstate Republican Women, Jan. 22.
Precinct reorganization is the process by which the Republican Party chooses executive committeemen, presidents and other precinct officers. A training session will take place March 11, and then the precincts will meet, in most cases, at their polling places, to select officers and submit any resolutions to be considered by the county GOP.
Politicians Out of Control
- By James "Chip" Moore
Highest Concentration of Power
“We have the highest degree of concentration of power and secrecy in the country. Nowhere else in the United States are politicians so out of control,” said Ashley Landess, President of the South Carolina Policy Center, while speaking at the Republican Women’s Luncheon, Thursday, January, 22.
The South Carolina Policy Center is a non-partisan public policy research organization located in Columbia, SC. One of the issues and concerns she spoke of during the luncheon was a policy that they discovered by accident pertaining to Bobby Harrell, SC’s Speaker of the House.

As chairman, Taylor will automatically become chairman of the Committee of the Whole and Meadows, as vice chairman, will become chairman of the Finance Committee.
The Importance of One Vote
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Runoff in District 17 House Race hangs on a Single Vote
Mike Burns and Chris Sullivan have learned the importance of just one vote in the recent Republican primary in House District 17. Had Burns received one more vote to add to his 1,117 vote count, he would have won the primary outright and there would have been no need for the expense and work involved in a runoff.
At 8:54 PM on January 22, Primary Day, the unofficial count by the Greenville County election office gave Burns 1,114 votes or 49.96 percent of the total 2,242 votes for 5 candidates.
There were 5 provisional ballots not counted until the vote was certified three days later. When the provisional ballots were counted, 3 had been cast for Burns and 2 for Sullivan.
The Best Way To Stop A Bad Guy With A Gun Is A Good Guy With A Gun
- By Allan E. Brown - Greenville, SC
During my 26 years as a police officer for the city of Greenville, I never considered the average citizen and his guns (military sty1e or otherwise) a threat to my safety. Thegreatest risk to police and the public is a changing demographic that reflects loss of traditional norms and standards, and a dysfunctional judiciary, including our U.S. Supreme Court that has made consistent, timely applications of the death penalty impossible.
The Children Protection Deception
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
An unbelievably large segment of the American population has been deceived into thinking that no protection is the best protection for children in public schools and on college campuses. These vulnerable children have become the easiest prey for crazed killers who want to kill as many people as possible before help arrives in the form of guns in the hands of police officers.
Many school districts in South Carolina have at least assigned one uniformed officer to some schools. This is recognition of a need, but grossly inadequate to deal with the potential threat. The School District of Greenville County is seeking ways of enhancing security. They clearly have a need for a select few trained and tested armed school employees, in the schools every day, their identity known only to the principal and law enforcement officials. The knowledge that they exist and their identity secret would be a great deterrent to those who would harm children while on school property and away from parental protection.
Watch D.O.G.S. Heroes of the Hallways
- By James "Chip" Moore
League academy first middle school to implement program
In 1998 on March 24, two boys met up in the woods outside their school in Jonesboro, Arkansas, after one pulled the fire alarm. Armed with thirteen fully loaded firearms, Mitchell Johnson, 13, and Andrew Golden, 11, opened fire on their classmates as they exited the building 100 yards away, killing five. Across the state in Springdale, Arkansas, two men feeling the impact of such a horrific event were compelled to do something to ensure that schools remain the safest place for children to be.
With the help of his friend, Jim Moore, founder of watch D.O.G.S (Dads of Great Students), started making steps in creating a volunteer program for dads to become more involved in day-to-day activities in the school. Watch D.O.G.S., a father-engagement and educational initiative of the National Center for Fathering, was designed to encourage fathers and father figures to be more involved in the educational process. The goals of the program are to enhance school safety and provide positive male role models.
Honoring Generals Lee and Jackson
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“A Nation of Men of Lee’s Character Would be Unconquerable in Spirit and Soul” President Dwight D. Eisenhower
The Officers and Members of the 16th Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Camp 36 in Greenville celebrated the birthdays of Generals Lee and Jackson at the Greenville Hilton, Saturday evening.
Robert E. Lee was born January 19, 1807, in Stratford Hall, Virginia.
Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson was born January 21, 1824, in Clarksburg, Virginia.
Despite the mendacity of those who continue to attempt to justify the atrocities committed against the Southern people by maligning Southern leaders, General Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson continue to be used by the top military schools throughout the world as the best examples of leadership and character in military history. Both were distinguished graduates of the U. S. Military Academy and officers in the United States Army. They were faced with a momentous decision when their sovereign state left the Union. They resigned their commissions to defend their homeland.
WORD Second Amendment Rally
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
WORD talk show hosts Bob McLain and Russ Cassell invited their listeners to join them at the Chick-fil-a on Woodruff Road last Friday at Noon to show their support for the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States that is under attack by the Obama Administration and their leftist supporters.
Hundreds of WORD listeners turned out and filled more than two blocks of sidewalks. They carried American flags and hastily made signs.
Obama Wants Background Checks on Private Gun Sales, Transfers
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
President Issued 23 Executive Orders restricting Rights of Gun Owners, Studying other Possible Restrictions
President Obama has instructed Democrats in Congress to take action immediately to enact legislation imposing tighter control on guns.
He has asked for laws requiring universal background checks on everyone attempting to buy a gun. The law already requires licensed dealers to request background checks. The Obama gun laws would require background checks before sales or trades could take place between individuals. The information would be used to store information in a national gun ownership database.
Abandoning “Peace through Strength”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The United States Government has kept its citizens safe and maintained a strong position among nations by adopting the slogan, “Peace through Strength.” The current White House occupant is abandoning that philosophy, either intentionally or through extraordinary incompetence. It is more likely a combination of both. We should expect nothing more or less from an individual who was indoctrinated by and is currently surrounded and advised by turncoats and terrorists of the Vietnam War Era.
Many misinformed and misguided voters have become addicted to the promises of agenda-driven politicians who pledged that savings from national defense cuts would be redistributed to social programs and benefits for the those becoming impatient waiting for their share of the loot.
Alabama Supreme Court Rules ‘Unborn’ is a ‘Child’
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
State Law Designed to Protect Children from Meth Lab Chemicals Applied to Unborn
The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that a state law intended to prevent exposing children to dangerous chemicals also protects the unborn child. The Alabama State law was originally intended to prevent parents from operating meth labs around children, or allowing children to be in meth labs. The law makes no reference to the unborn.
The decision in Ankrom V. State upheld the conviction of two women who were prosecuted for using drugs during their pregnancies.
The court ruling stated that, “the plain meaning of the word ‘child’ in the chemical endangerment statute includes unborn children.”
Hundreds Rally for Nullification
- By James "Chip" Moore
At the foot of the steps leading up to the State House, in front of an overlooking statue of President George Washington, gathered hundreds of people for one common goal. Preceding a press conference that was to take place in the Rotunda of the State House concerned citizens with signs, flags, and a uniting cause listened as their state representatives rallied the crowd against Obamacare.
On Tuesday January 8, 2012 a Nullify Obamacare Rally and Press Conference was held in the capital. Speakers included Thomas Kindle, President elect of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, House members Bill Chumley (D35), Tom Corbin (D17), Bill Taylor (D86), Donna Woods (D37), Mac Toole (D88), and Senators Lee Bright (D12) and Tom Davis (D46). RINO hunt founder Harry Kibler was the Master of Ceremonies.
Hobby Lobby Gets Crafty with Insurance Timeline
- By Tony Perkins
By Tony Perkins, Family Research Council
Hobby Lobby may have a reason to celebrate Religious Freedom Day after all. The mega-craft retailer announced last week that the owners have found a way for the company to bypass the $14.3 million in fines it would have already racked up. The penalty for not providing abortion drugs to employees under the President's health care mandate was supposed to go into effect January 1, but, thanks to a loophole, The Becket Fund believes that Hobby Lobby may be able to postpone the pain. "Hobby Lobby discovered a way to shift the plan year for its employee health insurance, thus postponing the effective date of the mandate for several months," the Fund explained.

Biden’s Biased Meeting on Obama Gun Control Scheme
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Some Things you do by Executive Order, You Need Money for it to be implemented – and that’s up to Congress
The spin is on. After 150 years of mendacity, Hollywood has admitted that Lincoln was a dictator and Bill Clinton on Sunday night told a television audience on the Golden Globe show that future presidents should be more like Lincoln in his role as dictator. Clinton and the Hollywood left has set the stage for the coming gun, ammo, magazine grab many said could never happen in this country.
NRA President David Keene told CNN recently that the meeting with Vice President Biden was little more than an “attack on the Second Amendment.”
Preaching to the Choir
- By Karl Day
And thus we lose another arrow in the Conservative quiver. As a Senator, DeMint had the power to offset or at least defend our principles against the likes of Harry Reid and Schumer.
As President of the Heritage Foundation, and I do not deny the importance of Heritage, he will join the chorus of organizations who have a voice but no vote; who can hold conferences of believers while not converting non-believers; who can print impressive brochures which are then distributed to an adoring choir; and who continue to wallow in the partisan swill inside the Beltway while achieving little.
Hovie Lister, A Native of Greenville, SC
- By Keith Crowe
This week I am featuring certainly one of the true legends in Southern Gospel Music and although he passed away several years ago his accomplishments continue to affect our music. He is none other than Hovie Lister, a native of Greenville.
I learned last week that retired Sheriff Johnny Mack Brown, Senator Tom Corbin and Councilman Joe Dill have been able to have a bridge named after Hovie to serve as a memorial to a native of the up-country. The location of this bridge is on highway 25 where the Highway 25 by-pass splits with Highway 25. This dedication is scheduled for Sunday, 17 Feb. at 2 p.m. at Reedy River Baptist Church with Charles Waller Master of Ceremonies.
Thanks to Jim DeMint
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Senator Jim DeMint has left the United States Senate and now heads The Heritage Foundation. DeMint was replaced in the senate by Tim Scott, a staunch Conservative from Charleston. Scott was appointed to fill the remaining two years of DeMint’s term by the governor.
Jim DeMint has not only served South Carolina well as our United States Senator; he has served the nation. He has worked tirelessly to recruit, campaign for and help elect a nucleus of conservative senators. These new senators have the potential over the long term to change the culture in the United States Senate for the good. They have the potential for transforming the government in Washington, D.C., into a servant of the people rather than a bottomless pit devoted to tax and spend policies.

Gowdy will do an excellent job in this new leadership position and I look forward to working with him in the 113th Congress.”
We Will Keep Our God, Country and Guns
- By Frank Raddish
America has become a nation of violence. More gun control laws are not the answer to stop more tragic events like the one that recently took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. The spiritual decay of our nation is the number one cause of the great increase in violence that Americans have witnessed and suffered from. Prayer and Bible reading were removed from the public school systems decades ago. Discipline in the form of corporal punishment in the schools is not allowed anymore. Hollywood has saturated the minds of the youth of America with bloody violent scenes that have desensitized them about the value of human life. Over fifty-five million unborn babies have been slaughtered in their mothers womb since 1973. Cold-blooded murders are commonplace throughout America.
Boomer’s Tale - Part 4 You Can’t Win ‘Em All
- By W. H. Lamb
Translated from “dog” By W. H. Lamb
This is Boomer back with you again. I’ve been a little “down” the past few weeks. First off, my back legs are starting to give me a little pain from time to time. Nothing too bad, and dog medicine seems to help, but it does bother me some. One of the humans I take care of, named Grampa, has also been having pain in his back and legs for the past few months, and I know it bothers him. I’ve offered to share my medicine with him, but he told me that he preferred to take his own. He reminds me constantly that I am fortunate to walk on four legs instead of walking upright, and developing back trouble. Frankly, I’d never want to walk upright because I can run much faster on my four legs than any human I’ve yet met. Just another way that we dog people are the superior species (but I don’t brag about it).
Happy New Year, Y’all!
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
We are facing a New Year with great uncertainty. We have a President of the United States who is only interested in carrying out his liberal leftist agenda to “transform” our constitutional republic into a socialist, Islamic dictatorship under a world government that is bent on redistributing the wealth of this nation to the “have-nots” of the world. He is intentionally rendering the greatest nation the world has ever known to be defenseless against our enemies.
He is dismantling the defense establishment at a time of great danger. At the same time, he is living the lifestyle of the “rich and famous” on borrowed money and flying around the world and from town to town in a huge airplane as if cost was no consideration. He has proven that he has no interest in saving the nation from economic ruin.
If Voters Only Knew Some History
- By John F. McManus - New American
Last April, a candidate for reelection to his House seat was asked during a town hall meeting to estimate how many in the U.S. Congress were “card-carrying Marxists or International Socialists.” Without hesitation, he responded, “There are about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party.” He pointed to their membership of “the Congressional Progressive Caucus.” His frankness drew immediate attention, not only from media representatives locally, but some nationally.
The congressman who pointed the finger at this sizable number of colleagues is Allen West, the representative of Florida’s 22nd District, which is situated in a portion of southeastern Florida that includes Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. The response likely cost him his reelection. In the very tight 2012 race, he lost by a few thousand votes and didn’t concede defeat until almost two weeks after Election Day.
Why the Founding Fathers Matter
- By Tom DeWeese
It has become typical in school text books, in public discussions, and in the smug wisdom of Progressives, to diminish the words and actions of those who led the founding of the United States. However, now that the nation has gone through what Al Gore called a “wrenching transformation” away from limited government, free enterprise, and individual liberty (all major ingredients to making the US the freest and most prosperous nation in history) it’s time to listen again to their wisdom.
