Tragedy at Lakehurst
- By Terry M. Thacker
“Oh, the humanity!” exclaimed news correspondent Herbert Morrison as he watched the conflagration that consumed the airship Hindenburg on May 6, 1937, at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Lakehurst, New Jersey.
Morrison was recording a radio broadcast of the landing of the Hindenburg for WLS, a radio station in Chicago. Other news organizations were filming the landing for newsreels. While those who were in attendance anticipated viewing a very rare event, the landing of an airship, no one could have in the least expected that they would be witness to one of the most shocking and dramatic news stories of the 20th century.
Obama’s Commitment to Clean Water Act: “Plan To Control Your Land”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Everyone is in favor of clean water. In an honest and truthful world, only a fool would oppose efforts to promote clean water. We, however, are living in a sinister and deceptive world where truth is sacrificed for wealth and power. In a land ruled by Progressives, Marxists and fellow travelers, a legislative commitment to clean water tragically means a sinister plan for rulers to abolish ownership of private property by using well-organized and financed environmentalists motivated by greed.
Arizona Has It Right
- By Chuck Baldwin
Open borders advocates are livid that the State of Arizona has enacted a new law authorizing State law enforcement personnel to arrest illegal aliens. The Reverend Al Sharpton is threatening to march. The mayor of San Francisco has declared Arizona off limits as a travel destination. The national government of Mexico has issued travel warnings. President Barack Obama is contemplating bringing a federal lawsuit against the State. Some are calling for a boycott of the State.
So, why all the fuss?
Israel Can Only Rely on Itself
- By Dr. Al Snyder
In his address to the Israeli nation on the recent occasion of their 62nd Independence Day anniversary, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, " Israel can only truly rely on itself."
Obviously, and with good reason, he was reminding his nation and people that they cannot depend on the United States or anyone else in the international community to defend them if and when Iran may try to fulfill their threats to "wipe Israel off the face of the map."
He quoted Theodore Hertzl, the respected Zionist leader of 100 years ago, who had said: "Don't rely on help from strangers, don't trust the charitable, and don't wish for stones to grow soft." And Netanyahu added, "A nation that wishes to stand tall must place all its trust in itself only."
A Barnyard Parable
- By RaquelleSheen
Mr. William Goat and Mrs. Nanette Goat were pondering. They wanted to raise their young goats just right. They had a good set of standards for their kids to follow. But the other creatures in the barnyard had such a variety of different standards! Oh, they all followed the very basic farm rules, but everyone had a particular interpretation of the rules. The barnyard was become disharmonious because everyone was so proud of his or her particular standards. What should they do?
“I’ll tell you what, Billy,” said Mrs. Nanette. “Tomorrow let’s ask some of the other animals and see how they view creatures who have different standards. I will talk with Mrs. Cat and Mrs. Pig. Why don’t you talk to Mr. Rooster and Mr. Dog?”
Squire Parsons
- By Keith Crowe
This week I am featuring one of the true gentlemen in Southern Gospel Music. This artist is none other than Squire Parsons. Squire is from a little town in West Virginia called Newton, which is about fifty miles from Charleston. He stated that his farther was active in the music program of his local church and also was part of a local quartet. Other members of Squire’s family were also active in music in one way or the other in the different churches located in the area. The music schools came through the area in the early 1900’s and this was where the Parsons Family began to learn the quartet style singing, commonly referred to as “shape note” music.
Tea Party Facts Counter Misleading Information
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Misinformed citizens promote fear and confusion.
During the Greenville County Council meeting Tuesday, April 20th, a speaker addressing the Council for an allotted 3 minutes commented that he saw one of the Council members at the Upcountry Tea Party the previous Saturday.
The comment prompted an emotional outburst from Council Woman Lottie Gibson later in the meeting.

Sustainable Development: The Trojan Horse for Tyranny
- By Tom DeWeese
Codeword for an Entire Economic and Social Agenda
(Text of a presentation at the April 17 Upcountry Tea Party at the Bi-Lo Center)
I believe the American people, and their every action, are being ruled, regulated, restricted, licensed, registered, directed, checked, inspected, measured, numbered, counted, rated, stamped, censured, authorized, admonished, refused, prevented, drilled, indoctrinated, monopolized, extorted, robbed, hoaxed, fined, harassed, disarmed, dishonored, fleeced, exploited, assessed, and taxed to the point of suffocation and desperation.
Suggestion for Tea Party Leaders
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“There is no limit to what you can do if you don’t care who gets the credit!”
To a large degree, the survival of our republic rests on the people in the tea party movement. It must not be allowed to fail in its mission to educate the public with truth and support the Constitution without compromise. Leaders of the various factions must be willing to share success as well as failure. The slogan above served me well from 1974 until 1980 when I was given a task that many thought was impossible. During the following decade President Ronald Reagan placed the slogan in a frame behind his desk in the Oval Office. I borrowed it from an old retiring Congressman a decade earlier. It is a great motivator in times of stress and success.
We Need More Active Young People In The Tea Parties
- By Prentiss & Christiana Kendall - Greenville, SC (19 & 21 year old daughters of Dr. Thomas Kendall)
First off, I would like to say thank-you to those of you who were able to come out to the TEA Party on April 17th at the Bi-Lo Center. We really appreciated it! We know God is sovereign and that He is still in control; He has blessed America over the past 400 years, but we have been commanded to be, and must remain faithfully occupied. We have watched America give over our freedoms right in front of the people.
Don't you realize this is important? This affects you, your children and grandchildren... the future of America.
As We View Things
- By Pastor Don Lowry
Measurements are important. They give to us dimension, so we might comprehend size. They reckon for us moments of time so that we might schedule events to occur and date former occurrences by year, month, day, hour, and so forth.
Measurements assign to things relativity. It is by measurement we are able to access quantity or quality. We say that something is more than or less than something else, which establishes quantity, or we speak of an item being more or less like another item, thus giving in measure of quality.
From Mourning to Joy
- By Dr. Al Snyder
Last week all of Israel once again made the incredible transition from deep mourning to bounding joy. They first marked the nation's Remembrance Day in honor of all the nation's fallen soldiers, and then moved immediately into the joyful celebration of their 62nd Independence Day.
The rest of the nations of the world never experience the deep emotion the Israelis feel on these two back-to-back holidays. No other nation has experienced what Israel has gone through to become the free and prosperous nation that it is today.

- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Speakers Held Most of Crowd for More Than Four Hours
A brisk afternoon breeze eased the sting of the hot sun as speaker after speaker took the stage rigged on the bed of a large trailer at the side entrance of the Bi-Lo Center.
Vendors and spectators began arriving hours before the program was to begin at 1 p.m.
No elected officials were scheduled to speak at the event and most stayed away. A few candidates for office with opposition paid $250 for space for a table and small tent from which to display signs and pass out campaign material. A few elected officials and candidates were dispersed through the crowd, but not very many compared to previous events.

Vote for Harry Kibler for Greenville County District 28
- By David Knapp - Greenville, SC
Greenville District 28 Councilman Fred Payne asserts that he is a hard working Republican.
He works hard behind closed doors. A conservative coalition of citizens from the Tea Party, Rino Hunt, Tax Payer Association and regular citizens attended the County Council meeting to oppose the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Transparent Fred Payne and his like-minded Councilman went into an executive session to avoid any further public witness to the decision making.
Federal Discrimination Against Law Enforcement
- By James F. Aldridge - Anderson, SC
For decades our self-serving Government has done next to nothing to curtail the flood of illegal aliens into America, and does virtually nothing to apprehend illegals known to be in the U.S. It also does everything it can to facilitate the release of those illegals incarcerated by State and local authorities, and has numerous other insidious ways of handi-caping those whose job it is to enforce our immigration laws. One such way is the following which is only a tip-of-an ice berg.
The Southern Gospel Music Corner - The Perrys
- By Keith Crowe
This week we take a look at a group which has been singing for thirty plus years, but about a year ago took on a new direction. The group is The Perrys from Morristown, Tennessee. In the early years this was a family group, but over the last few years all of the members of the Perry family have moved on with the exception of Libbi. Kenny had some health problems and the sisters’ left for various reasons. The traditional make-up of the group was two male and two female singers but when Nicole Watts decided to leave the group as well as the road to get married. The decision was made to replace Nicole with a male singer. Although there were changes taking place in The Perrys the commitment was still to keep a traditional conventional Gospel Music sound alive.

Parking and long lines have been a continuous problem at Greenville’s Washington Street Post Office during certain hours of the work day.

Immigration Politics
- By Mike Scruggs
Sifting out the Political Weasels, Dunces, and Jellyfish
The United States needs an immigration policy that benefits Americans. What we have is an immigration policy—or rather a deliberate failure to enforce immigration laws—that benefits illegal immigrants, businesses that profit from hiring cheap foreign labor instead of Americans, and politicians who want to change our society into a big-government-dependent welfare state.

The Answer: Truth, Biblical Principles
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Electing principled conservative Republican candidates to Congress and other public offices is a sound political strategy for taking our country back from radical leftists indoctrinated in Marxism and grounded in the Alinsky Method of Rules for Radicals who have deceived and organized an ignorant, brainwashed segment of our electorate.
Electing conservatives to Congress alone, however, will not be totally and permanently successful unless accompanied by the application of truth and biblical principles. The pursuit of truth must be a top priority in our search for lasting freedom even if it is painful for those on our side of the political spectrum.
Death Is A Subject We Avoid
- By Terry Odom - Piedmont, SC
My 81 year old mother had to go to the emergency room three times with emphysema last year. She was hospitalized all three times. The first two times, I sent her to St. Francis Women’s Hospital. Both times, two separate doctors told me that my mother was old, her lungs were gone, and advised me not to treat her and let her die. The third time she had to go to a hospital, I sent her to Hillcrest Memorial Hospital. There she was treated for her emphysema and recovered. Here it is April 2010 and she is still alive.
A doctor should not be able to decide who lives and who dies. That is up to God.
America cannot call itself a Christian nation. We kill our elderly, sick and unborn babies. Yet, we jail someon who would kill a litter of puppies.
Don’t Vote Incumbents, Vote New People
- By Betty Creager - Greenville, SC
I hope the GOP doesn’t want former Governor of Massachusetts to run for President in 2012. The progressives could try and push him in as a candidate. I mean Mitt Romney, He pushed socialistic healthcare up in Massachusetts and they are living with it.
Rising Tide Of Civil Liberties Violations In America
- By Chad Kister - Nelsonville, OH
Far too many .Americans are oblivious to the rising tide of civil liberties violations in America. The reason is that much of it is being done under the Patriot Act and is hidden from view by the general public.
What we do know about those who are supposed to be the role models of our country is quite troubling. FBI agents broke into the home of a Portland, Oregon attorney and searched it, using the sneak and peak provision of the Patriot Act. They arrested him and accused him of being a part of the Madrid train bombings. The FBI later realized they had made a mistake in the DNA and released him. He won $2 million in a subsequent lawsuit.

The family courts need improvement. As you know everyone has an excuse of what caused them to get behind on child support payments.
There needs to be a worksheet for parents who are behind on child support payments. God gave me this idea. Please tell the director of the child support office to move forward with this idea for all family courts statewide.
