Scandals in the Classroom
- By Phyllis Schlafly
A national scandal hit the news when Georgia Governor Nathan Deal released a 413-page report describing how hundreds of Atlanta public school teachers and principals had been cheating during the past ten years on standardized tests in order to falsely report that their schools were doing a good job and the kids were improving. A total of 178 teachers and principals (38 were principals), 82 of whom have already confessed, had fraudulently raised test scores so their schools would meet test targets set by the district and thereby qualify for federal funds.
Re-Establishing the Firewall: Members of Congress to be Proud of
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The South Carolina Republican Legislative Delegation is making history by representing their constituents even if it means going against their party leadership in Congress. The national media has noted that the South Carolina Republicans actually pray before making important decisions, seeking divine guidance rather than the guidance of the president or congressional leaders. This is apparently a unique and revolutionary practice in 2011Washington, D. C.
The Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committee unanimously passed a resolution Monday night commending the delegation for “their votes to halt the out of control and irresponsible spending of the federal government,” and encouraged them to “continue to vote in accordance with principles of limited government and low taxes.”

New Congressional District Plans Require Washington Approval
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Thanks to Lyndon Johnson, Attorney General Eric Holder Can Overrule State Decision
State Senator Phil Shoopman briefed the Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committee on the new congressional district boundaries drawn by a senate committee on which Shoopman served. Lines must be redrawn after the census each 10 years, to equalize the population in each congressional district.
Due to population growth in the Palmetto State, the state will now have 7 congressmen instead of 6. Five of the six districts are now represented by Republicans.
The senator used the map of congressional districts and chart shown on Page 16 of this issue to illustrate his message.
Obama's Fault?
- By Ray Simmons
There seems to be a great tendency among conservatives to blame our current state of affairs on President Obama. While I agree that Obama has done much to weaken our nation financially and militarily since taking office, has vastly increased the powers of the Executive Branch of government, and that his goal is the destruction of our Democratic Republic and its replacement with a socialist form of Dictatorship or Oligarchy, I cannot hold him totally responsible for where we find ourselves. I must place a considerable share of the blame upon myself and my fellow Christians. It is we who have failed to hold our government accountable for its actions and have allowed it to move away from the doctrines upon which it was founded.
Unwise Cuts in National Defense to Finance Social Programs, Reduce Deficit
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
President Obama has developed a strategy that will “gut the United States Armed Forces,” leaving the republic vulnerable to foreign aggression defended by a “hollow force” with reduced manpower, outdated weapons and reduced readiness to perform its primary mission.
The frightening part of the strategy is that Obama will receive a lot of support from Congress. Defense cuts is one of the aspects of the secret talks currently taking place between the President and congressional leaders at the White House.
Democrats Fighting Voter ID Law
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Conway Belangia Answers Questions for Taxpayers
Conway Belangia, Director of Elections for Greenville County for the past 19 years, was a guest speaker at the July meeting of the Greenville County Taxpayers’ Association.
Belangia sees his primary mission to be insuring elections are fair. The hottest current topic is the new state law that requires voters to present a photo ID in addition to a registration card prior to being allowed to cast a ballot.
Republicans believe the requirement is necessary to ensure only people eligible to vote in a particular precinct are who they say they are. Democrats claim the law discriminates against the elderly and others who do not have a drivers license or a photo ID card issued by the Highway Department.
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” Ends September 20
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Panetta, Mullen Certified Troops are Ready for “San Francisco Army”
On Friday Afternoon, July 22nd, during all the panic over the debt limit, President Obama quietly announced that he was signing the documents that will repeal “Don’t Ask, don’t Tell” effective September 20th. The repeal will, in the words of Columbia Christians for Life, headed by a graduate of the United States Military Academy, “permit open sodomite service in US Armed Forces beginning Sept. 20, 2011.” In other words, certification means that 60 days later, open homosexuality will be allowed in the United States military for the first time in the nation’s history.

Congratulations to Greece!
- By Dr. Al Snyder
Our hearty congratulations, praise, and thanks go to Greece this week. The Greek government pulled off a great surprise by blocking the attempted departure from Greece of the "flotilla" of nine ships that were to be headed to the Gaza territory of Israel to challenge Israel's maritime blockade of Gaza.
Yes, it was a pleasant and unexpected surprise to see another Middle East country take some pro-Israel action for a change. The entire Middle East has always been strongly pro-Arab and anti-Israel, mainly because of the dominant Arab population in the area.
Harry Potter and Pop Culture Paganism
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
One night recently school age children lined up at theatres at midnight to see the latest Harry Potter movie. Some were wearing Harry Potter outfits and others were dressed or marked to appear like other characters in Harry Potter stories. What is the attraction? Where were the parents? Where were the Christians? Where were the Christian pastors?
Parents have accepted the excuse that Harry Potter is merely children’s fantasy, and therefore is harmless. Elementary teachers have been sold the same story and that the books are helpful in getting students interested in reading.
Lee and Jackson – The Lexington Years
- By Terry M. Thacker
Lee and Jackson. These two names struck terror into the hearts of many a Union soldier and gave confidence and hope to thousands of Confederates during the War Between the States. Together they, along with their fellow gray-clad generals and the armies that they led, were quite the match for the larger armies of the North.
Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson and Robert E. Lee had much in common. They were both native-born Virginians, although Jackson was born in a part of Virginia that would later become West Virginia. Both of them graduated from West Point Military Academy. Both were also educators of military cadets. They also shared a fervent faith in and reliance upon Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Attorney General Visits RINO Hunt

Clarifies Questions Regarding Ethics Problems of Lt. Governor
“You have my word of honor that I will follow the law,” said South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson in response to a question regarding the ethics charges against Lt. Gov. Ard. Wilson assured his audience at a RINO Hunt meeting in Greenville that, “I will not make a decision based on politics.”
Democrats and the liberal media have been goading the Attorney General to convene a grand jury to determine if Ard broke any criminal statutes. Ard, who has been accused by the State Ethics commission of allegedly misusing campaign funds, has agreed to accept fines levied by the Ethics Commission.
Free Summer Breakfast and Lunchs from Greenville County Schools
- By Frank Allen - Greenville, SC
I saw an article in your paper recently concerning free summer breakfasts and lunchs from the Greenville county schools. I can hardly express my disgust with this concept, or list all the things wrong with it. First, and primary, is the fact that it is just wrong; there is no Constitutional basis for feeding people,though I would support it in emergencies; there is an obligation for parents to provide for their own children. Lunch at schools is one thing, as children are required by law to be there all day, though I can remember bagging sandwiches to school as a child. Breakfast is a different thing, and should be provided at home. But to offer these meals when children aren't even in school? How is that justified or explained?
Understanding President Obama
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The actions of President Barack Obama frequently contradict his spoken words. In fact, his actions are so contrary to the U. S. Constitution and traditional American behavior, that some of our fellow citizens pass him off as being young and inexperienced, or even “dumb.” His life has been cloaked in secrecy, making it virtually impossible for anyone to assess his motives accurately without a basic understanding of the theories espoused by his Marxist and socialist mentors.

Understanding the Origin of “Obamaism”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
It is a catastrophic human tragedy that foreigners understand what is happening to the United States of America much better than a majority of the American people. Many home-grown and educated Americans are blinded to the essential facts of history because we have been brainwashed, manipulated and deceived by a small group of dedicated evil advocates of socialism that is totally contrary to the founding principles of our republic.
Obama's Mandate for Change?
- By Dr. Al Snyder
Barack Obama believes he was elected to the United States presidency with a mandate for change. But he does not seem to realize that this mandate was not intended for U.S. relations with Israel.
He recently spoke out again with dictation to Israel to give half of their precious little national land to occupying Arabs, so those supposedly poor, abused Arabs can have their own independent state. He dictated again that Israel should return to the pre-1967 Six Day War borders. And he had the audacity to add that they should do this within 30 days.
Fifty-Six Men Who 'Pledged Their Lives, Their Fortunes and Their Sacred Honor'
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
We and the generations to follow must never forget those brave individuals from the Revolution to Iraq, Afghanistan and Fort Hood who risked everything to preserve our God-given freedom. Each year at this time it is instructive to review what happened to the 56 men who stepped forward and risked everything to sign the Declaration of Independence.
Five signers were captured by the British and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Greenville Tea Party and Ron Paul Reps Met Bachmann’s Bus at Clinton
“We can’t afford this Congress. We can’t afford this President. We can’t afford this tax code,” presidential candidate Michele Bachmann told a crowd of about 300 Wednesday on the parking lot of Hollywood 20 Cinemas on Woodruff Road.
Bachmann, who represents Minnesota’s sixth district, said: “It’s time to make Barack Obama a one-term president.” Before she spoke, she was endorsed by Bill Rhodes, founder of the Greenville Tea Party. “This is our candidate,” Rhodes said. “We are behind her 100 percent.”
Bachmann sandwiched the Greenville appearance between events in Lexington and Rock Hill. Rhodes and local Ron Paul spokesman Chris Lawton met Bachmann’s bus and boarded it at a rest stop near Clinton.

Celebrating Mutual Respect Between American Veterans and South Korean People
The Upstate Chapters of the Korean War Veterans Association sponsored a Friendship Luncheon in Greenville Saturday to celebrate the mutual respect that exists between the American Veterans of the Korean War and the people of the Republic of South Korea. This was the second time the annual event has been held.
Gerry Kunz, outgoing president of the association was master of ceremonies. Heung Soo Kim, Deputy Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Atlanta, was guest speaker.
Deputy Consul Kim thanked the American veterans for their sacrifices for the Korean people. He discussed the strong bonds between the United States and the Republic of Korea since the war and the miraculous conversion of South Korea, as a military and economic partner with the United States, from one of the poorest countries on earth to one of the most prosperous.Did You See, Hear or Read This in the Liberal Media?
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The attitude of the Liberal Media tends to be that, “If we don’t report it, it is not news.” Sometimes network affiliates and local newspapers owned by conglomerates are forced to report important events, but due to self-imposed political correctness rules the stories do not go beyond the local area. This seems to be especially true where events have racial overtones.
Have you heard anything about teenage mobs terrorizing, assaulting, looting and robbing in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Peoria?
Gov. Nikki Haley Signs Illegal Immigration Reform Bill
“South Carolina is a tolerant state, but it’s also a law-abiding state.”

COLUMBIA,S.C. – Governor Nikki Haley today signed into law S 20, an illegal immigration reform bill, during a ceremony at the Statehouse. Video of the bill signing is available online at.Israel Needs Us
- By Frank Hall - Greenville, SC
Exodus 32:35 contains an interesting principle, one that all Americans should know and apply in their lives today: “And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.” Critics of the Bible would probably jump on that and say, “Wait a minute, who‘made the calf, the people or Aaron?" If they would think about it for a few seconds they could answer their own question, and not go off on some idiotic tangent. Moses had been up on Mount Sinai, receiving the commandments from God. The Children of Israel got impatient for his return. They broke off their earrings, donated them to Aaron, and asked him to make them a god. Without their participation Aaron could not have made the golden calf. God held them both equally responsible.
The Declaration of Independence

On July 4, 2011, we will celebrate the Declaration of Independence approved by the Second Continental Congress representing the thirteen united States of America on July 4, 1776.
The Declaration states in part that: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. – That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
