Can We Learn from History?
Spanish- born philosopher and essayist George Santayana (1865-1952), in his 1905 volume, Reason in Common Sense, is especially remembered for these words: “Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.” This is often phrased more pointedly: “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

All 6 Greenville County School Board members up for reelection this year have challenges in the Nov. 2 General Election. This is believed to be the first time this happened in at least a decade, indicating the degree of dissatisfaction with the current board.
Republicans Could Lose it All
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
With the 2010 General Election less than two weeks away, the South Carolina Republican Party is sitting on a fence separating feast from famine, victory from defeat. If conservative voters turn out in large numbers and elect the GOP nominee for governor, they will likely sweep the other constitutional offices including the critically important superintendent of education into office. Such a victory would provide the first opportunity in three decades to shake up the bureaucracy and upgrade the quality of education in South Carolina. Mick Zais is the first candidate for South Carolina Superintendent of Education in recent memory that is not indebted or otherwise tied to the NEA, the education bureaucracy, and the “good ol’ boy” network that has kept the children of South Carolina in the “back of the education bus” and 49th in the nation behind Mississippi and the District of Columbia for decades while constantly demanding more money for “the children.”

“Land Use Nazis” Keep Coming
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The right to own property and use it as you see fit and bear arms are two characteristics that distinguish a free people from the subjects of a tyrannical government. Both of those rights granted by our Creator and guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States are under attack today in our republic as never before.
Just 50 or 60 years ago, an individual or group would have been afraid to even discuss depriving another citizen of the use of his or her privately owned real property. The culprit would have been ostracized and shunned by law-abiding citizens who had fought, bled, worked and sacrificed for the right to live in a free country – unmolested on their private property. No elected official would dare to become a party to such a scheme.

A year or so ago I had the honor of spending the afternoon with one of the longtime members of the quartet, Bill Crowe (no relation as far as we know) who is a nephew of Elmo Fagg. Let’s began with a little background to set the stage for what would be one of the most successful groups to come along in gospel music.
Living High on the Hog Spending Other People’s Money

We have done more good on this earth than any combination of countries that you can put together.”
DeMint went on to say that “America is great, good and prosperous, not because of our geography, not because our people are better than anyone else in the world, because our people came from all over the world. We are different here in this country because of the set of principles we have employed like no other country ever has. I call them the principles of freedom.”

Some 500,000 people attended the event in person and it was broadcast in its entirety by C-SPAN live and at least twice afterwards.
Black Leader Comments on Glen Beck Rally and Dr. King's Speech
- By Christian Newswire
Christian Newswire -- Day Gardner, President of the National Black Pro-Life Union, submits the following and is available for comment: I can't explain what I felt as I watched Dr. Alveda King bounding down the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to deliver her speech, "I Too, Have a Dream."
In the moments before I was introduced, I was taken back 47 years to when I was eight years old. I remember that day vividly--sitting on the floor, my back leaning against my father's chair. My eyes were glued to the television. Dr. Martin Luther King had become my hero, he was a deliverer. Even then, my parents seemed worried about his future--would someone try to silence this man of God? Unfortunately, it did happen -we all lost him.

Gates Retirement Opens Door for Graham Appointment
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced last week that he intends to retire next year. His retirement opens the door for the appointment of Sen. Lindsey Graham as Secretary of Defense by President Obama.
Gates was appointed to head the Department of Defense in 2006 by President George W. Bush at the insistence of Democrats who hated his predecessor Don Rumsfeld. President Bush apparently thought the sacrifice of Rumsfeld and others would satisfy them, but he was mistaken. Gates was retained as Secretary of Defense by President Obama as a “token Republican” compatible with the Obama agenda.
Dates That Destroyed America
- By Chuck Baldwin
The decision by Congress to socialize medicine in the US ranks among the most draconian, most egregious, most horrific actions ever taken by the central government in Washington, D.C. This bill rocks the principles of liberty and constitutional government to the core. It changes fundamental foundations; it repudiates historical principle. Oh! The same flag may fly on our flagpoles, the same monuments may grace our landscape, and the same National Anthem may be sung during our public ceremonies, but it is not the same America. The Congress of the United States has now officially turned America into a socialist state.
On March 21, 2010, Congress passed, and on March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the dreaded national health care bill into law, and as such, these dates join a list of dates that have each inflicted unconstitutional, socialistic, and sometimes even tyrannical action against the States united and have, therefore, contributed to the destruction of a free America.
