The Leap Year Triplets
- By Press Release
Triplets, Harris, Elizabeth, and Andrew Rowe will have a special birthday on Wednesday, February 29, a Leap Year birthday! Born on February 29, 2004 at MUSC in Charleston, SC, these spontaneous triplets are very rare. The odds of being born on Leap Day are 1 in 1,461 and the odds of being a spontaneous triplet is 1 in 8,100 births. Therefore, the odds of being a spontaneous triplet born naturally (not via C-section) on Leap Year are virtually non-existent; the Rowe triplets may be the only set in the world. Born full-term at 37.5 weeks after an uncomplicated pregnancy, the healthy triplets at almost 17 pounds collectively went home after 2 days of "rooming" in with mom and dad, Jeff and Kelly Rowe formerly of Mt. Pleasant now livng in the upstate of SC. They continue to be active 8 year olds, home-schooled, and involved in sports, cub scouts, church, and their large family of nine.
Netanyahu: “I Will Not Gamble With Security of Israel”
- By Press Release
Editors note: Greenville and Spartanburg County Republican Party Chairmen Betty Poe and LaDonna Riggs attended the AIPAC gathering in Washington, D.C. Riggs dispatched the following report from Washington immediately following the Netanyahu speech.
While President Obama asked Israel to wait, again, for the sanctions against Iran to fully work, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a rousing speech to AIPAC (America Israel Public Affairs Committee) saying that for “15 years he had been warning the world that Iran was a dangerous country; for 10 years the international community had tried diplomacy, and for 6 years sanctions had been used, and it has not worked. Israel has patiently waited through diplomacy and sanctions, but it cannot afford to wait much longer.” Then one of the best lines of the speech: “I will never let my people live in the shadow of annihilation.”

The Delphi Technique of Manipulation
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
On February 1, in this space, we discussed Saul Alinsky, Cloward-Piven and the Delphi Technique and how these three describe Barack Obama and his success in deceiving and manipulating large groups of people who are ignorant of his methods.
Longtime readers of The Times Examiner are familiar with the Delphi Technique and are not fooled by liberals and leftists using the technique. Tragically, those Americans unfamiliar with the technique are vulnerable to manipulation and played for fools. They have unknowingly been willful partners in the destruction of our constitutional republic and the demise of personal freedom.

- By Henry Pickard
Debbie Spaugh, President of the Greenville County Republican Women’s Club, greeted over 90 members, friends and invited guests to the Poinsett Club meeting Thursday. The beautiful ballroom was filled with excited conversations and catching up with the latest events of the Upstate and in particular the Republican primaries. Several candidates for the upcoming Senate and other office races for the June 12th Primary Election day made their way around the room, speaking to supporters and friends.

Josh Kimbrell Visits Upstate Republican Women
- By Henry Pickard
The stately room at the Poinsett Club in downtown Greenville filled quickly with a group of about 25 from the Upstate Republican Women’s Club. Phyllis Foster greeted everyone with a bright smile and her natural Southern charm. She quickly moves the meeting to order and gives the room the latest updates to activities and interests. When she called for information from the members, Ruth Templeton gave a detailed account of her son, Larry Templeton, a US Army Officer who was injured in a rocket attack in Afghanistan; it focused the thoughts, emotions and feelings in the room sharply. Chaplain Shari Chavers’ invocation earlier led the group in a request for Larry and his recovery. Ruth praised the Army and Government for doing everything it could and being very supportive of not only Larry, but his wife and his parents, just a reminder of how ‘close to home’ a war can be.
Sullivan Runs for Senate District 6
- By Henry Pickard
Like the textile industry in the Upstate, threads of involvement run deep in Chris Sullivan’s family. He gathered more than 75 of his family and friends at Tommy’s Ham House to officially kick-off his campaign to replace South Carolina Senate District 6 incumbent Mike Fair. His family involvement in the political arena dates back to the early 20th century where his paternal grandfather G. Heyward Mahon was mayor of Greenville from 1903 – 09. His father Hewlett was instrumental in Bob Watkins’ campaign in ’64. Chris worked in 2000 to help break the Democratic majority and has been personally involved in the campaigns of Representatives Stringer, Chumley and Bedingfield as well as Senator Bright.

Derrell Stewart
A few years ago I had the opportunity to talk with several of the Southern Gospel Music legends at the Grand Ole Gospel Reunion. This week’s feature is one of the true legends. He is Derrell Stewart, one of the main stays of The Florida Boys before they retired and Charlie Waller began to carry on the group. Darrell was born in Brunswick, Georgia. Derrell began to play piano at five years of age and continued to take lessons all through school. He stated that his introduction to Southern Gospel Music was through the all-day singings and other church related musical events.
Jim Lee Campaigns for State Senate
- By Henry Pickard
Jim Lee and his wife of 31 years, Laurie, bustled into the room, prepared and ready to campaign. It was pretty obvious that the retired USAF MSgt was not at his first rodeo. He smiled and greeted those nearby, only after making sure Laurie had her campaign station up. Shirts, stickers, volunteer forms and email contact list all there and ready. She had it all under control (like always), and Jim could relax.
Sheriff Loftis To Seek Re-Election
- By Press Release
Steve Loftis will seek a third four-year term as Greenville County Sheriff.
“Today, Greenville County is a safer place to live, work and raise a family. The time it takes for us to respond to a priority call has been cut in half. Violent crime is down by more than 10% and robberies, auto thefts and burglaries are all down as well. Last year, we seized more than 500 pounds of drugs worth more than $4 million. We led the state in DUI arrests last year, which helped reduce the number of traffic-related fatalities.
Scouting for Food Campaign
- By Henry Pickard
The number of young boys from Boy Scout Troop 107 in Taylors, SC, just about matched the number of degrees the thermometer registered. It was in the low 20s Sunday morning and the pavement in front of Taylors First Baptist Church were cold and unforgiving. But the boys were there, in full uniform, and smiling! It was the second part of Scouting for Food Campaign, an annual event by Scout Troops around the country that provides a collection of non-perishable food stuffs for distribution to families in need. The Scouts met church-goers as they made their way to the building with plastic and paper bags holding food. They were all smiles as the Scouts approached them, and cheerfully asked, “May I take that for you sir or ma’am?” It was genuine American generosity with a helping “Doing a Good Deed” on the side.

Rejects Destructive Strategies of “Sustainable Development”
The Republican National Committee unanimously passed a resolution exposing the dangers of UN Agenda 21 and the destructive sustainable development strategies. The Resolution was passed during the January 13, 2012, meeting of the RNC.
The RNC Resolution exposes the dangerous intent of UN Agenda 21 and resolves that “the U. S. Government and no state or local government is legally bound by the United Nations Agenda 21 treaty in that it has never been endorsed by the U. S. Senate.”
Tyrants Thrive on Ignorance, Stupidity
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Former presidential candidate Herman Cain speaking at CPAC this weekend once again said: “stupid and ignorant people are destroying America.”
Some people vote for presidential candidates because of their looks, personality, charisma, peer pressure, intimidation, bribery or race. They are stupid. It is a waste of time to attempt to convert them to accept truth. They are void of a capacity or desire to know the importance of truth. They have a herd mentality and can be persuaded to trade their freedom for promises by slick-tongued community organizers.
FOX Dropping Judge Napolitano Show
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
of Glenn Beck, Freedom Watch is the hardest hitting conservative program dealing with public affairs and the federal government.
WND Editor Joseph Farah described the program as “uncompromisingly conservative” and maybe “the only show on TV that measured politics and economics through the lens of the U. S. Constitution.”

Family and Friends Remember Hero
- By Henry Pickard
There were stars out at Furman University today, so many you could hardly count them all. White ones on a field of blue, blue ones on a field of white, and gold ones. These were not stars of stage or screen, nor were they TV reality show stars, they were just ordinary people wearing badges of honor. Many of those stars hid deep scars of pain, loss and anguish. Many were proudly displayed as a sign of those who are currently serving. And everywhere you looked; there in plain view were the Stars and Stripes, the symbol of our country that proudly waved today.
Saul Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
President Barack Obama is a dedicated disciple of Saul Alinsky and is skilled in the tactics of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.
Let us not forget that Alinsky dedicated his book of rules to Lucifer, “the first radical known to man.” The book describes Obama’s purpose and tactics. This is Obama. The words to follow are those of Alinsky.
In this book we are concerned with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people; to realize the democratic dream of equality, justice, peace... “Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.” This means revolution. P.3

- By Henry Pickard
Spartanburg, SC – 2 February 2012
David Spielman, who travelled to South Carolina from Washington, DC, to stay here in the School choice effort as Campaign Coordinator was busy tonight. He and the Southeast Coordinator for Freedom Works, Allen Page, expected a crowd to hear former US House Majority Leader Dick Armey. Their plan and effort paid off. The Cleveland Park pavilion in Spartanburg was standing-room only! Parents, educators, fact-finders and many local, State elected officials as well as many candidates for office gathered this evening for a School Choice event. Freedom Works is a nationwide non-profit organization built on the principles of, “Lower taxes, less government, more freedom.” Freedom Works with over 1.5 million across the US, 20,000 of which are here in South Carolina, were here to promote awareness and support for the South Carolina School Choice Bill H.4576.

Uncertainty, Fear of Criminal and Gang Activity Spur Self-Defense Training

The liberal media and school officials are mostly silent on the fact that no less than 135 gangs, including some of the most dangerous in the world are operating in the upstate cities of Spartanburg, Greenville and Anderson, but informed citizens know the danger and are very concerned.

S. House leadership directing the leadership to “immediately begin proceedings to impeach Eric Holder and all other involved parties.”

The resolution contained ten facts to justify the impeachment action. ”That probable cause exists to not only criminally indict US Attorney General Eric Holder but to impeach him.

Saul Alinsky, Cloward-Piven and the Delphi Technique
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
It was Herman Cain who said, in effect, that the United States has bad government because a large segment of the voting public is ignorant or stupid. Herman is correct in general terms, however, avoiding ignorance and stupidity in today’s deceptive world requires work and it requires more than government school education and degrees from liberal universities. It requires independent study. Remember the slogan: “Inquiring minds want to know?”
In the year 2012, the American people are facing some of the same problems faced by the German people in the 1930s. The Germans and others were successfully deceived and disaster of historic proportions followed.
Pickin' and Grinnin'
- By Terry M. Thacker
Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and the surrounding region has plenty for the tourist to see and do. In addition to the three attractions I told you about last week, the Guinness World Records Museum, Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium and Ripley's Aquarium, there is Cades Cove, which I wrote about two weeks ago.
There is also a plethora of other attractions designed to grab the tourist dollar, including the Dollywood Amusement Park in nearby Pigeon Forge. And, of course, Gatlinburg is nestled at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which has a wealth of activities in store for the outdoor enthusiast.
However, on the second full day of my trip last August to Gatlinburg, I was able to break free from the allure of the town and took a side trip several miles north to see some other sites.
JB Kershaw UDC Chapter Hosts Annual Lee-Jackson Luncheon
- By Jennifer Sawyer
The Joseph Brevard Kershaw Chapter #205 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy held their annual Lee-Jackson Luncheon with a fashion show on Saturday, January 21 at 12 noon in Hunter Hall of the First Presbyterian Church of Laurens. This is the fourth year of the luncheon and, having grown each and every year, the chapter had to continue to move the location for the luncheon.
The chapter members had held the event in the Simpsonville/Mauldin area for a couple of years in an effort to draw ladies from the Greenville area. Finally, after crowded conditions last year at the 2011 event, the chapter decided to bring the event home to Laurens. Everyone was extremely pleased with the location of the event in Laurens. Perhaps a few people did not attend due to the change in location, but most people did not seem to mind, particularly since the venue was so much roomier for the event.

Ann Coulter May Be Helping Gingrich by Attacking South Carolina
- By Tony Beam
Let me begin by putting my cards on the table. I adore Ann Coulter. After all, what’s not to love? She is beautiful, smart, funny, and conservative. She is always right about the left and she is usually right about the right. But her analysis of why Gingrich won South Carolina is not only wrong, it’s wrong to the point of placing her firmly in camp of those who are actually helping fuel the Newt surge.
On Sunday’s edition of “Fox and Friends” Coulter opened her diatribe against South Carolina by saying, “Apparently, South Carolina would rather have the emotional security of a snotty remark toward the president than to beat Obama in the fall.” She followed by accusing the “tea party crowd” of loving the name calling while ignoring Gingrich’s past. She ended with a flourish saying, “With Gingrich you throw out the baby and keep the bath water!”
Truth Will Set Us Free
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
While most South Carolinians were watching the election returns on television or pursuing their routine Saturday night entertainment, one hundred Upstate residents were celebrating the birthdays of two of America’s most admired and emulated military heroes, General Robert Edward Lee and Lieutenant General Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson. Gen. Lee was born Jan. 19, 1807 and Gen. Jackson was born Jan. 21, 1824.
If you were born since World War II, you probably never heard anything positive about these men. That is, unless you attended a military school or one of the service academies where Lee is premier example of leadership and Jackson’s tactical genius is admired and taught.
