Veterans Day Ceremony at Cleveland Park Vietnam War Memorial
As darkness fell on the Vietnam War Memorial in Cleveland Park, graying veterans of the Vietnam War, along with their families and a few friends, gathered with members of the Greenville County Vietnamese community to pay tribute to the Greenvillians who gave their lives in defense of freedom for the Vietnamese people.

Located on Grounds of Parisview Baptist Church
The Union Bleachery was one of the leading textile mills in Greenville County from 1902 until it closed its doors in 2003. Most of the mill’s employees lived in the mill village on the hill above the mill off what is now Highway 253 north of Greenville.
Former employees of the mill remember that the village was a close-knit community. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and draft age men went to war, the community shared their joy and grief.
The “Borking” of Herman Cain

- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The white liberal elite power structure has been able to control and use black Americans for so long by rewarding their “leaders,” that they cannot allow an independent self-made black conservative to achieve prominence. That is why they continue to attempt to destroy Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and why they must attempt to destroy Herman Cain. They see a black man that could become President of the United States and “upset their apple cart.” He understands their game. He saw through their promises and deception. He was able to escape their trap.

- By Bob Dill, Publisher
What Republicans see representing them in the South Carolina State Government is not what they get. What they see is a Republican dominated state government. What they see is an illusion and a deception. What they see is not what they get.
What they get is the same old Democrat, one-party rule that has held the state in a form of political bondage for more than a century – with a new label. It is the old wine in a new wineskin. The voters that have been deceived by liberal propaganda fail to see the truth behind the shadow government.
Somebody Has to Go!

- By Frank Hall
I am not the only person who will remember Saturday, October 29, 2011, forever. My wife, Margie, our friends Janice and Dennis Kinard, and one special officer of the North Carolina Highway Patrol are the ones that come immediately to mind.
That day started out quite harmlessly. I rolled out of bed at 7:00, which is unusually early for a Saturday. I got our slow cooker out and loaded it with two pounds of red beef stew meat plus carrots, parsnips, onions, potatoes, broth, and spices. These would cook on low all day so that when four hungry travelers returned about 5:00 P.M. they could sit down immediately to a delicious, hearty plate of beef stew. What did Robert Burns say about the plans of mice and men?

A few weeks ago I wrote about one of the all time great song writers. This week’s feature is about another writer who has penned some of the classic Southern Gospel Music songs. His name is Albert E. Brumley and he spent most of his adult life in the small town of Powell, Missouri.
Although Albert was born in Spiro, Oklahoma, which in 1905 was Indian Territory. From Oklahoma, Albert made his way to Hartford, Arkansas in 1926 looking to enhance his knowledge of music. Mr. Brace Key, who had taught Albert some music, encouraged him to attend the Hartford Musical Institute. This school was managed by E. M. Bartlett. Mr. Bartlett had helped several young folks receive an education and get a start in the music world. Mr. Bartlett, a song writer himself, had written such great songs as “Everybody Will Be Happy Over There” and “I heard My Mother Call My Name.”

Obama Invites an Iraq Bloodbath
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Many Vietnam Veterans had a sick feeling in the pit of their stomachs when they heard the announcement that Barack Obama was arbitrarily pulling all American troops from Iraq by the end of 2011. Here we go again. By so doing, he is leaving all those Iraqis who befriended Americans during our invasion and stay in that country to be persecuted and murdered by those who will fill the void upon our departure. He is also giving our enemies across the globe justification to say we were defeated and chased from Iraq by the Islamic terror squads and fear of Iran. After the loss of the lives of 4,500 of America’s finest, their Commander in Chief has betrayed their memory and sent a message from the White House that their sacrifices and those of their families were in vain and counted for nothing.

Senator David Thomas First Recipient of Dubious “Honor”
“When I read a USA Today article disclosing that Senator David Thomas was collecting more than triple his regular legislator’s salary by opting to take his $32,390 annual retirement benefit instead of a legislator’s $10,400 annual salary. But continue to ‘serve’ and collect an additional $20,000 for in-district expenses and per Diem, I thought that my organization could help him understand the true meaning of retirement,” said RINO Hunt founder Harry Kibler.
Kibler said the card, along with an engraved gold pocket watch, would be presented to Thomas at the appropriate time.

Progressive Leftists are an arrogant bunch. Like their cousins the Marxists, they consider it honorable to lie to achieve victory over their adversaries. Once they achieve power, they arrogantly and boastfully no longer consider it necessary to lie about their goals and deceptive methods for achieving them.
With Barack Obama living “high on the hog” in the White House and in control of keys to the Treasury Department’s printing presses, he is freely using taxpayers’ money and resources to campaign for a second four-year term. Despite media-created images, President Obama is not alone.
Why Not a "Holy Peace?"
- Details
- By Dr. Al Snyder
The term, "Jihad," in the Moslem vocabulary means "holy war." To me, it's quite a stretch to think of war as "holy." Wouldn't you consider peace to be a lot more "holy?" Shouldn't the Moslems be promoting "holy peace" instead of "holy war?"
"Jihad" seems to be an important doctrinal concept to Moslems. It comes directly from the Moslems' supposedly holy book, the Koran. It is taught as the main means for the spreading of Islam to non-Moslem peoples and nations. Islam has grown and advanced historically primarily by warfare, by conquering with the sword. It has sometimes been called, "the religion of the sword."

Party Moderates Panic, Line Up Behind Romney
Herman Cain won the Florida Straw Poll. A few weeks later, Cain scored a big win, scoring 49 percent in the straw poll conducted by the national gathering of the Federation of Republican Women.
The poll of Republican women is a valid cross section of Republican activists and is the poll that struck fear in the hearts of the other GOP presidential contenders.
Herman Cain’s 9-9-9-tax plan is getting criticism from some of his opponents, but it is only a concept that must be approved by congress and has been supported by many.

If You Think You Are Standing Firm ...
- Details
- By Raquel Sheen
Scripture tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:12 that if we think we are standing firm, we must be careful that we do not fall. Recently I was saddened to hear bad news about several old friends. These friends were conservative Christian home-schooling families who seemed to be the “model homeschoolers.” So when I heard that their families had been broken apart, I was somewhat stunned. I began to ponder how easy it is for even a “model family” to fall off the path. I believe it starts when we stop putting our faith in Jesus for grace to serve Him each day and instead begin to rely on other things. They may even be good things, but a reliance on them is a reliance on externals, not internals. Following are some externals that may become substitutes for Christ.

Question of Obama’s Birth Remains

- By Bob Dill, Publisher
During my interesting interview with Dr. Jerome Corsi last week, he mentioned that he had a discussion earlier in the day with G. Gordon Liddy who had discovered new information on the birth of the current president of the United States, Barack Obama. Dr. Corsi said the information would be contained in a new article he was preparing for World Net Daily.
According to the report published by World Net Daily and authored by Dr. Corsi, Liddy has a trusted source that supports a source already reporting to WND that the birth records in the vault in Honolulu are forged and that the files were tampered with as early as 1978. Liddy and Corsi warn that there are forged copies of birth information from both Hawaii and Kenya planted by Obama operatives as a trap to discredit so-called “Birthers.”
