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.
Haley: “Biggest Bureaucratic Mess I Have Ever Seen”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“Five People Control Hundreds of Things You Should Know About, and Don’t”
Governor Nikki Haley spoke at the Greenville County Republican Women’s Club luncheon, Thursday, and answered a series of challenging questions, including an explanation of why she endorsed and campaigned for Gov. Mitt Romney for president in the South Carolina primary.
The Governor gave a humorous overview of her turbulent experiences as a member of the State House, her campaign for governor and first year as chief executive of the Palmetto State.

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.
Believe It or Not!
- By Terry Thacker
For the past two weeks I have related to you my experiences while touring Cades Cove during a visit I paid last August to the Gatlinburg area. After exiting the 11-mile Cades Cove loop road, disappointed in my lack of an ursine encounter, I returned to Gatlinburg.
I found a reasonably-priced parking space on the top level of a parking deck behind the Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies and rode the elevator down to street level. As I walked by some parked city buses that were collecting tourists for the next run through town, I considered buying a bus pass and riding one of them to the various attractions I planned to visit. I decided instead to walk since my destinations were not too far away and because I could use the exercise.
Four Probable Candidates for SC Senate Spoke at RINO Hunt Meeting
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Denny’s on Wade Hampton was packed Friday night despite the sheets of cold rain blowing across the parking lot and no seats for at least two dozen attendees who stood around the walls and in the entrance. It was RINO Hunt meeting night, and despite the presidential primary that would take place the following day, this group was focused on changing the South Carolina government, specifically the Senate. Four individuals announced their intentions of challenging incumbent Senators. Two are from Greenville County, one from Pickens and one from Senate
District 26 that includes part of Aiken, Lexington and Saluda Counties
Banquet Honoring Generals Lee and Jackson
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
General Robert E. Lee was born January 19, 1807, at Stratford Hall, Virginia. General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson was born January 21, 1824, at Clarksburg, Virginia. These two Virginians became officers in the United States Army, distinguished themselves in service to their country during the War with Mexico, chose to defend their homeland during the War of Southern Independence and are considered worldwide to be two of the greatest military leaders the world has known.
Jackson died of wounds May 10, 1863, and is buried in Jackson Cemetery in Lexington, Virginia.
Newt Scores Big Win in SC
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Despite Haley Endorsement, Millions Spent on Attack Ads, Romney Finished Distant Second
It was exciting while it lasted, but now it is over. After a big win by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the Republican primary candidates have moved on to Florida.
Democrats did not come out in large numbers and vote in the Republican primary in the low country as expected, giving Gov. Mitt Romney a disappointing loss.
The outcome was very disappointing for Gov. Nikki Haley who along with her husband had endorsed and campaigned hard for Romney. Our smiling, optimistic Governor was absent when Romney made his modified concession speech Saturday night. Haley detractors were rejoicing and hoping the weak support for Romney indicates a lack of support for Haley.
US Taxes Pay PA Terrorists
- By Dr. Al Snyder
American tax money is helping to fund the salaries of Palestnian Arab terrorists who are or have been in Israeli prisons. Those who committed the worst crimes and received the longest sentences are also receiving the most money.
And if that's not bad enough news, several American TV news networks came out with the revelation this past week that the US government has been giving several Arab Moslem countries financial aid for the purpose of repairing and restoring Moslem mosques. All this through our US State Department with the approval of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barak Obama.
Remember to Vote on Saturday
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The First in the South, South Carolina Republican Presidential Preference Primary will be held Saturday, January 21st. It is hotly contested and the outcome is unpredictable. This is partly because Democrats and third party folks can vote to select the Republican candidate to challenge President Obama in November and because some candidates and political action committees are running vicious ads on television and mailing false and misleading information on their opponents. Uninformed voters will be confused.
Point Lookout, Prison Camp for Confederate Soldiers
- By Elaine Thorp
Point Lookout, Union POW camp for Confederate soldiers, was established after the Battle of Gettysburg and was open from August 1863 to June 1865. It is located along the coast of Maryland only five feet above sea level, on approximately 30 acres of level land. It was the largest Union POW camp and one of the most secure, as it was surrounded on three sides by water from the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River, with Union cannons pointed at the Confederate prisoners from Ft. Lincoln and Union gun ships anchored in nearby waters. There were only an estimated 50 successful escapes.

Young Drug Addict Finds Wisdom in Living Life
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
A Love Story
The miraculous true love story that follows is that of two young people whose lives were changed when Cliff dialed a wrong number. It is also the story of a loving mother who sought help from the source of all wisdom and power. Finally, it is the story of how a group of former alcoholics and drug addicts, who are now new creatures in Christ, have used the Holy Scriptures to tap into the source of all wisdom and power and allow the love of Jesus to transform the lives of the most hopeless alcoholics and drug addicts.
Working together, with obvious divine guidance, they all contribute to the current happiness and joy of Christina and Cliff.
Substance Abuse and Addiction Are Costing Greenville County
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Costing Every Man, Woman and Child Estimated $1,300 per year
Greenville County Sheriff Steve Loftis and other law enforcement officials have confirmed that a majority of all crimes are committed by individuals involving or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. The fallout from addiction and drug abuse makes up a large portion of the workload of law enforcement, emergency medical personnel and facilities and is a burden on families and county taxpayers.
A study conducted by Tripp Umbach Healthcare Consulting, Inc. estimates that South Carolina spends more than $5 billion annually on substance abuse including criminal justice costs, social services, healthcare, loss of productivity and treatment.
Basic Formula For Defeating Obama
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
One of the unchanging principles of warfare is: “Know your enemy!” The same applies equally to spiritual and political warfare. This year the United States of America is engaged in a political battle for the survival of our constitutional republic. If the political battle is not brought to an equitable conclusion violence could erupt. Warfare is raging in the spiritual realm, of which only those with appropriate discernment are aware.
For any Republican candidate to defeat President Obama in the 2012 General Election, the candidate must know all there is to know about his opponent and have the courage to tell the American people who Barack Obama is, and what the incumbent president’s plans are for our republic.

Santorum “My First Big Win Was Here”

Santorum, Perry Courting Upstate Voters, Candidate Forum Friday Night
“My first big win in this campaign was right here in Greenville at your County Convention,” said Rick Santorum after thanking Gresham Barrett, his campaign chairman and Greenville County GOP Chairman Betty Poe for their “great, wonderful hospitality.’ Santorum won the straw poll at the county GOP convention last year as he was launching his campaign.
Barrett is heading up Santorum’s campaign in South Carolina. The former Third District Congressman introduced former Reagan policy adviser Gary Bauer, who described Santorum as “the Reagan conservative” in this campaign.
2012: Winds of Change
- By Tony Beam
Very few things in our world today are certain. For example, planes and trains run off schedule more than they run on schedule. Appliances break down after the warranty has expired. Clothes come into and then go out of fashion (but if you hold on to your clothes long enough, you will be in style again). Many times, the check isn’t in the mail and our job, which we think we will have until retirement, changes or we get laid off. Change is inevitable and the future is very hard to predict.
Understanding the Iowa Caucuses
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Most Republican Presidential Candidates consider the Iowa Caucuses to be an important launching pad for their campaigns. Iowa is the first state to select candidates to represent them at the national convention that will nominate the Republican presidential and vice presidential candidates to challenge the incumbent Barack Obama. Next will come the New Hampshire and then the South Carolina primaries.
The caucuses and primaries are not elections; they are means for a political party to select candidates to represent them in upcoming elections. Some parties in some states may use conventions to select candidates.

Obama Administration Encourages “Phantom Voting” in South Carolina
- By Tony Beam
Friday’s decision by the Obama Justice Department to strike down South Carolina’s voter ID law should surprise no one who has been following Attorney General Eric Holder’s idea of justice. The South Carolina law is similar to laws passed in Texas, Rhode Island, Kansas, Tennessee and Wisconsin but so far the Justice Department’s interest has rested solely on Texas and South Carolina; the two states on the list that are among nine covered under the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
An Open Letter to Bill O’Reilly
- By H. K. Edgerton
Your utilization of a program that promotes itself as delivering fair and unbiased news, yet allows you to continue in this the Sesquicentennial of the War Between the States to use the airways of America to promote and to deliver the Reconstruction Puritan message designed to disguise from the American public the war crimes of Abraham Lincoln and the northern industrialist in the promotional sales of a book, without allowing equal air time for rebuttal by Southern authors like Thomas De Lorenzo, and Stanley Lott, a Black man, and promotions of their books, and the view of Southern folks about Lincoln, then and now, would be fair and unbiased.
A Time for Reflection
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The end of the year is a great time for reflection on the past. History provides important lessons for the future, and those who do not know their history are destined to repeat mistakes rather than learn from the mistakes of others.
My first-born granddaughter gave me a DVD for Christmas titled The Dark Corner. I watched it with her on Christmas Eve. It features a narration by three historians and authors with ancestral roots deep in Dark Corner heritage. I have been privileged to know them for a quarter century.

Holder Rejects SC Voter Photo ID Law
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Decision Based on False Data. Unconstitutional Federal Law
It was predictable that President Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder would block the South Carolina law requiring a driver’s license, or other picture ID prior to voting according to observers of election fraud in the 2008 presidential election.
The NAACP vowed earlier this year at a convention carried on C-SPAN to do everything in their power to block the requirement that voters show photo IDs in all states where it is required. In states where laws were already in effect they would go to court. In South Carolina, the challenge assured victory.
Will any Republican Presidential Candidate Expose the Agenda of Barack Obama?
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Republican Presidential Primary candidates are verbally attacking each other without restraint, but all are somewhat timid when addressing their general election opponent President Barack Obama. Are they uninformed, misinformed or simply afraid of the possible repercussions of informing the American people of the dangerous situation in which we find ourselves?
Undoubtedly some of these candidates and their advisors are poorly informed, will have little chance of defeating the incumbent president and are therefore unqualified to be elevated to the office of President of the United States. They are ill-equipped to inform the American people, many of whom are equally ignorant of current affairs, of our impending danger. Other candidates are clearly aware of the truth of the Obama agenda and are, for some reason, too timid or fearful of speaking the truth to the American people.
