There were stars out at Furman University today, so many you could hardly count them all. White ones on a field of blue, blue ones on a field of white, and gold ones. These were not stars of stage or screen, nor were they TV reality show stars, they were just ordinary people wearing badges of honor. Many of those stars hid deep scars of pain, loss and anguish. Many were proudly displayed as a sign of those who are currently serving. And everywhere you looked; there in plain view were the Stars and Stripes, the symbol of our country that proudly waved today.

Uncertainty, Fear of Criminal and Gang Activity Spur Self-Defense Training

The six o’clock news is saturated with gruesome stories of murders, home invasions, rape of young women, car-jackings, robberies and scams designed to take advantage of vulnerable senior citizens living alone.
The liberal media and school officials are mostly silent on the fact that no less than 135 gangs, including some of the most dangerous in the world are operating in the upstate cities of Spartanburg, Greenville and Anderson, but informed citizens know the danger and are very concerned.
Saul Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals”
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
President Barack Obama is a dedicated disciple of Saul Alinsky and is skilled in the tactics of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.
Let us not forget that Alinsky dedicated his book of rules to Lucifer, “the first radical known to man.” The book describes Obama’s purpose and tactics. This is Obama. The words to follow are those of Alinsky.
In this book we are concerned with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people; to realize the democratic dream of equality, justice, peace... “Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.” This means revolution. P.3

Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and the surrounding region has plenty for the tourist to see and do. In addition to the three attractions I told you about last week, the Guinness World Records Museum, Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium and Ripley's Aquarium, there is Cades Cove, which I wrote about two weeks ago.
There is also a plethora of other attractions designed to grab the tourist dollar, including the Dollywood Amusement Park in nearby Pigeon Forge. And, of course, Gatlinburg is nestled at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which has a wealth of activities in store for the outdoor enthusiast.
However, on the second full day of my trip last August to Gatlinburg, I was able to break free from the allure of the town and took a side trip several miles north to see some other sites.
Saul Alinsky, Cloward-Piven and the Delphi Technique

It was Herman Cain who said, in effect, that the United States has bad government because a large segment of the voting public is ignorant or stupid. Herman is correct in general terms, however, avoiding ignorance and stupidity in today’s deceptive world requires work and it requires more than government school education and degrees from liberal universities. It requires independent study. Remember the slogan: “Inquiring minds want to know?”
In the year 2012, the American people are facing some of the same problems faced by the German people in the 1930s. The Germans and others were successfully deceived and disaster of historic proportions followed.

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.

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.
Truth Will Set Us Free

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.

Ann Coulter May Be Helping Gingrich by Attacking South Carolina
- Details
- 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!”

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.

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.

All this through our US State Department with the approval of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barak Obama.

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.

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.
