Tactics Overshadow Coalition News Conference
The tactics of Greenville County Council Chairman “Butch” Kirven to outflank an announced Conservative Coalition news conference scheduled 30 minutes before the regularly scheduled December 7 meeting of council was effective in keeping the Coalition criticism of Council actions from daily newspaper and television headlines.
The news conference was originally set for 5:30 p.m. and the regular council meetings begin at 6:00p.m. Citizens are allowed to speak during the meetings according to council policy.
Army Flight Surgeon Facing “Certain Conviction” for Questioning Obama’s Eligibility

Lt. Gen. McInerney Calls on New Congress to Intervene, Investigate, Hold Hearings
The General Court Martial of Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin was set to begin Tuesday, December 14, 2010. He is charged with disobeying a direct order to report to duty in Afghanistan on March 30, 2010. Lakin refused the orders because he believes the current Commander in Chief has not proven he is eligible to hold office.
“I am today compelled to make the distasteful choice to invite my own court-martial, in pursuit of the truth about the president’s eligibility under the Constitution to hold office,” he said at the time of his decision.

“Don’t Leave High School Without It”!
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The 5,000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World is the book used in the RINO Hunt class on the Constitution of the United States. It is the book President Ronald Reagan wanted taught in all high schools. It is the book that lists and explains in the words of the Founders, the 28 principles of Freedom our Founding Fathers said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desire peace, prosperity, and freedom. It also teaches how adherence to these beliefs during the past 200 years has brought about more progress than was made in the previous 5,000 years.

McCain Describes Repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell “Dangerous”

Opposition by Sixty Percent of Army, Marine Combat Troops Discounted
President Obama and Democrats in control of Congress until January are determined to repeal the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy governing homosexuals in the military during the “lame duck” session of Congress as part of the Defense Authorization Act.
A study conducted by the Department of Defense was released last week and the US Senate held hearings before the week ended, questioning the service chiefs, who are hard pressed to oppose a decision by the Commander in Chief they have sworn to obey.
South Carolina Must Strengthen Procurement Laws
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
It is a well-known fact that South Carolina has some of the weakest procurement laws in the nation. Our state is used in academic case studies of waste and fraud through loose procurement laws. These laws must be strengthened if the Palmetto State is to get a handle on spending through waste and opportunities for fraud at all levels of government.
The 'Redistributing' of Other Peoples' Money by Obama
- By James Aldridge - Anderson, SC
Obama is the epitome of what often happens to a politician after he or she gets elected. Historically, Americans have been disappointed by politicians in both Parties who have campaigned to right past wrongs; and then, after getting to Washington, forget their promises and become concerned, primarily, with retaining the money (a Senator earns $193,400 for part-time work), power and perks which they quickly become accustomed to. As Gary Mauser, professor emeritus at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, says in NRA's December's America’s First Freedom magazine, “Politics is about promises, not the delivery of those promises.”
Marxist Homeschooling
- By Heather Sheen
For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. (Romans 10:2-3)
Here’s a good stuffy, scholarly-sounding quote to throw around next time you get into a discussion about Karl Marx’s theory of economics: “The relative values of commodities are, therefore, determined by the respective quantities or amounts of labor, worked up, realized, fixed in them.”

In the first installment of this new travel series I told you about the first leg of my trip to Chattanooga. We got as far as the Nantahala Outdoor Center on US 74, which is several miles south of Bryson City.
I continued south along 74 towards my next destination, the town of Murphy. A few miles past the Outdoor Center the two-lane highway ceased to hug the Nantahala River and began to straighten out into gently rolling country.
The Battle to Preserve Property Rights
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The preservation of property rights will be one of the major issues facing Americans, South Carolinians and county governments in 2011. The battle lines are already drawn. The forces endangering the rights of citizens to buy, sell, own and do as they please with private property are organized, well funded and have a number of unconstitutional laws and government funding sources on their side. Tragically, property owners are not organized and many are not well-informed and lack the truth that can set them free from the assault on their constitutional rights.

The team includes public and private sector leaders from across South Carolina and will be chaired by Ambassador David Wilkins. Lowcountry businessman Chad Walldorf will serve as Vice-Chairman.

Teachers, Preachers and Greens … The Unholy Alliance to Transform America – Part 1 of 2
- By Tom DeWeese
When Communism “fell” in the late 1980’s, those who were busy scheming to impose global governance on the sovereign nations had a problem. Suddenly, the only super power in the world was the United States – the only nation on Earth based on the ideals of limited government, individual liberty and free enterprise. If American bedrock ideals of freedom took hold in the emerging nations of the old Soviet Empire, global governance was impossible.
What to do? The answer was obvious. Change America. Get her to join the community of nations with a proper attitude. Force her to learn her proper place. Target: America’s attitudes, values and beliefs. And to force us to quickly question those American ideals, elements of guilt and fear would be essential.
S.C. Election Results in Perspective
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Voters in South Carolina gave huge victories to Republican candidates in the November 2, 2010, General Election. What does this mean for the future of our state?
South Carolina is sending four new conservative Republican Congressmen to Washington. They will be part of an historic freshman class that will make waves on Capitol Hill. Sen. Jim DeMint was reelected and is becoming a leader of the conservative wing of the GOP in the Senate. Sen. Lindsey Graham has four more years to serve in his current term and, as predicted by this column months ago, could be picked by President Obama to be Secretary of Defense early next year. The appointment would provide the president with a public gesture of “bipartisanship” and create a GOP scapegoat for declaring victory and pulling out of Afghanistan before the 2012 Presidential Election. Graham is well-qualified for the job.

James D. Vaughn
- By Keith Crowe
It seems only fitting that since this year marks the 100th anniversary of Southern Gospel Music that I feature the founder of Southern Gospel Music who was James D. Vaughn. America had been torn asunder by the Civil War. Atlanta lay in smoldering ruins and General Sherman and 60,000 Union troops were approaching Savannah, cutting a fifty-mile-wide swath through the Georgia countryside from Atlanta to the sea. The entire South was devastated by the war. On the evening of December 14, 1864, with Sherman only a week out of Savannah, a baby boy was born to George Washington and Eliza Vaughn in Giles County, Tennessee. The boy’s parents named him James David Vaughn. His life spanned 77 years, ending February 9, 1941, ten months before Pearl Harbor. What happened to James D. Vaughn between the burning of Atlanta and the bombing of Pearl Harbor was significant in the annals of American music. He helped develop and popularize a new folk form of American music known today as Southern Gospel Music.

South Carolina’s First District Congressman-elect Tim Scott was invited by the chairperson of the Congressional Black Caucus along with the new Black Republican Congressman from Florida to join the group. Tim Scott is an outstanding South Carolinian and a great American who has never been interested in using the “race card” and is highly respected by all who know him. In fact, he was first endorsed and introduced to The Times Examiner before he entered the congressional primary race by the National Commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Ruling Results from Findings in “Council Expense Fund” Case
Judge John Few ruled on February 10, 2010, that Greenville County Council illegally delegated legislative authority to its individual Council members so they could make independent expenditures from a Council appropriated annual Council district expense fund.
The complaint filed by The South Carolina Public Interest Foundation and Edward D. Sloan, Jr., cited a South Carolina Attorney General opinion dated November 13, 2003, stating that a County Council’s delegation of legislative power to an individual member was unlawful.

Will Wilkins be Good for Haley?
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Governor-elect Nikki Haley announced Monday that former U.S. Ambassador and State House Speaker David Wilkins will be chief of her transition team. To some, this announcement appears to be a contradiction with Haley promises to take on the entrenched system in the legislature. To others, Haley has made a brilliant move and has the ultimate legislative insider on her team and members of the legislature poised to do whatever David tells them to do.
Kenny Gates
- By Keith Crowe
This week’s article takes a somewhat different direction that most weeks. My wife, Charlene, and I had the honor of attending a birthday party for Kenny Gates on Saturday of last week. Kenny turned 80 on November 3rd. Of course, if you have been reading my articles and know anything about Southern Gospel Music you have heard of Kenny. He was the piano player for the famed Blue Ridge Quartet for many years beginning in 1949. There were many stories told about Kenny and his experiences on the road. I certainly do not have space to begin to recount these stories but there is a part of his birthday party that I think bears telling, so here goes.
Haley, Republican Slate Win Despite Liberal Media, “RINO” Efforts
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Four New Conservative Congressmen to join Joe Wilson and Senior Democrat James Clyburn in Washington
Nikki Haley will be the first woman governor of South Carolina as the winner of one of the most vicious elections in the Palmetto State’s history. The daughter of immigrants was the target of personal attacks that could not be proven true or false. Voters were led to believe that legally requested extensions in filing tax returns was somehow a failure to pay taxes, although it is routinely used by business and personal taxpayers each year.
