World War II Combat Veteran Recalls Parachuting Behind Enemy Lines With 82nd Airborne Division
Sitting in his office at his spacious White Horse Road home that sprawls across a grassy knoll, Melvin Wagstaff looked healthy and fit for a veteran of World War II as he smiled and greeted visitors. Our host soon revealed that the years have taken a toll on his 86-year old body that for most of those years was solid and healthy. He now has health problems that modern medicine cannot reverse. Declining health is difficult for an indestructible “fighting machine” whose physical strength served him well during lengthy periods of combat and remained strong and healthy throughout a long and productive civilian life.

Why Are Americans Cynical?
- Details
- By Karl Day
There is a saying used somewhat facetiously that declares “when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.” A similar saying could apply to the terrible oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. When hours count, government help is only months away. Despite President Obama’s protestations to the contrary, the current administration has proven itself to be woefully incompetent in the handling of this environmental disaster.
If Obama’s claim that he has been on top of this situation since day one is true then he should be impeached. As I write this, we are at day 76 of this disaster and despite the efforts of thousands of individuals, relatively little has been accomplished. The big news today is that the Whale, a huge converted oil tanker with the potential of processing 21 million gallons of oil contaminated water is now in the Gulf. But what is it doing? It is engaged in testing under the oversight of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Woodard, “Nikki Haley is a Libertarian, Not a Conservative”

Sheheen is a “very bright, articulate candidate”
Dr. David Woodard, a professor of political science at Clemson, told the Greenville County Republican Women, July 22, that Nikki Haley is a libertarian, not a conservative.
“The well springs are different for those movements,” Woodard said. “Libertarians believe in individual autonomy, and conservatives believe in the care of the culture for traditional values. Mark Sanford was also very much influenced by libertarian policies.
“I haven’t heard a lot of rhetoric from Nikki Haley that is truly conservative,” he said. “I have heard a lot that is libertarian.”Woodard said the allegations about Haley’s personal life need to be addressed. One of her accusers has released 600 to 700 e-mails, while Nikki Haley has refused to respond because, as a state representative, her e-mails are protected under state law. Her computer is embargoed because it was used as a state computer.

There is no question that incumbents who are out-of-touch with their constituents are very vulnerable during the 2010 election season. There are some dramatic examples in South Carolina and the Upstate.
Incumbent politicians who have had little opposition in the past and failed to take note that a large segment of the voting public has lost confidence in the leadership of both major political parties in Washington, D. C. and Columbia, S. C. are vulnerable to rejection by voters for the first time in their political careers.

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.—

Elena Kagan Should Be Rejected
- Details
- By Phyllis Schlafley
Barack Obama revealed his goal for the Supreme Court when he complained on Chicago Radio Station WBEZ-FM in 2001 that the Earl Warren Court wasn't "radical" enough because "it didn't break free from the essential constraints placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution" in order to allow "redistribution of wealth." Now that Obama is President, he has the power to nominate Supreme Court justices who will "break free" from the Constitution and join him in "fundamentally transforming" America.
That's the essence of his choice of Elena Kagan as his second Supreme Court nominee. She never was a judge, and her paper trail is short but it's long enough to prove that she is a clear and present danger to the Constitution.
Establishing an Absolute Tyranny

“The history of the present [government] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states.” An interesting quote. Sounds like it came from a talk radio diatribe, or possibly from a right-wing conservative blog. Actually, it comes from our Declaration of Independence. In that document the term I have in brackets—government— was actually “King of Great Britain.”

Government identification or a voter identification card with a photo ID in order to vote in South Carolina.
Passage of the bill to close a clear loophole in the current law that allows voter fraud and abuse was the top priority for the South Carolina Republican Party this year.
