Gates Retirement Opens Door for Graham Appointment
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced last week that he intends to retire next year. His retirement opens the door for the appointment of Sen. Lindsey Graham as Secretary of Defense by President Obama.
Gates was appointed to head the Department of Defense in 2006 by President George W. Bush at the insistence of Democrats who hated his predecessor Don Rumsfeld. President Bush apparently thought the sacrifice of Rumsfeld and others would satisfy them, but he was mistaken. Gates was retained as Secretary of Defense by President Obama as a “token Republican” compatible with the Obama agenda.
Dates That Destroyed America
- Details
- By Chuck Baldwin
The decision by Congress to socialize medicine in the US ranks among the most draconian, most egregious, most horrific actions ever taken by the central government in Washington, D.C. This bill rocks the principles of liberty and constitutional government to the core. It changes fundamental foundations; it repudiates historical principle. Oh! The same flag may fly on our flagpoles, the same monuments may grace our landscape, and the same National Anthem may be sung during our public ceremonies, but it is not the same America. The Congress of the United States has now officially turned America into a socialist state.
On March 21, 2010, Congress passed, and on March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the dreaded national health care bill into law, and as such, these dates join a list of dates that have each inflicted unconstitutional, socialistic, and sometimes even tyrannical action against the States united and have, therefore, contributed to the destruction of a free America.

The 65th Anniversary of the End of World War II
Woodlawn Funeral Home and Memorial Park honored veterans of World War II with a “Spirit of 1945 Ceremony” on Saturday, August 14, 2010.
Direct involvement of the United States in World War II began with the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

The atomic bomb shortened the war and saved both American and Japanese lives.

Taking funds from classroom teachers, increasing debt and raising taxes during a deep recession and period of high unemployment are some of the factors attracting candidates to challenge members of the Greenville County School Board this election year.

Stealing the Next Election

With the midterm general election only 10 weeks away, many Americans are worried about whether we can count on having an honest election in view of the Obama Administration’s track record and especially the Justice Department’s handling of the New Black Panther voter intimidation case from the last election.
Editor David Kupelian has addressed the issue head-on in the current issue of Whistleblower.
Un-American American History Courses
- Details
- By Phyllis Schlafley
Arizona's new law that requires the police to ask people to show ID, which was just knocked out by a supremacist judge, may not be the most controversial Arizona law about illegal aliens. Governor Jan Brewer signed another law this year that bans schools from teaching classes designed to promote solidarity among students of a particular ethnic group.
This law bans classes that "promote the overthrow of the United States government" or "promote resentment toward a race or class of people" because schools should treat all pupils as individual Americans. The issue arose because the Tucson School District offers courses in Mexican-American studies (known locally as Raza Studies) that focus on that particular group and its influence.

I Should Have Ordered the Meatloaf

As I left the Petersburg National Battlefield, about which I wrote last week, I turned right onto Crater Road. I did not have far to go before I found another site of historic interest – Blandford Church.
I pulled right onto the grounds of the extensive cemetery, drove around a bit, then parked near the church in order to get a photo. Unfortunately the photo turned out rather dark. (I am definitely getting a digital camera before my next trip.) It was evening time and the building was closed for tours for the day, but I later looked up the church on the internet and found some information.

Should Greenville County Council Follow the Lead of Knox White and Open Bars on Sunday?

By the time you read this piece, Greenville County Council will have killed in committee or allowed to continue through the approval process and a second reading a proposal to have a referendum on Sunday alcohol sales by the drink in bars and restaurants in the unincorporated areas of Greenville County.
The question is currently presented as one of economics, business profitability and customer service. In the past, it was a question of morals and religious belief. That was when the Ten Commandments and “Remember the Sabbath Day, to Keep it Holy” was built into the fabric of the community. That was before the “Bible Belt” was invaded by men on bicycles wearing spandex from places where the Ten Commandments were banned.

Reader Response to Dr. Woodard

- By Steve Lefemine
Woodard wrong, Catholic Sheheen No Conservative on "Abortion"
In the headline article in the July 28 issue of The Times Examiner, it states: "On social issues Sheheen is a conservative [sic]. Sheheen is Catholic, and if he takes his church's view on abortion, stem cell research, gay [sic] marriage [sic] and euthanasia, ""he will be a very formidable candidate," Woodard said."
This description of pro-abort SC State Senator Vincent Sheheen (D) attributed to Dr. David Woodard, a professor of political science at Clemson University, is demonstrably false vis-a-vis the "abortion" issue.
The Crater

For four years in the 1980’s I lived within a few miles of the Petersburg National Battlefield Park in Petersburg, Virginia. Being a Civil War enthusiast, I naturally visited it many times during that period. Or so one would think.
Actually, I visited the battlefield only once during all that time, and even on that one occasion I visited only the visitor center.
I decided to remedy that deficiency in my Civil War touring this past February when I took a trip to Baltimore to help my mother celebrate her 90th birthday.

Growing numbers of concerned, dedicated Americans are joining the nationwide protests against ever-higher taxes; the outrage of Obamacare; the bailouts and the Federal Reserve; the growing government surveillance society; and the destruction of private property rights through policies including Sustainable Development.

Liberals Botching the Afghan War
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The attitude of the Obama administration in Washington regarding the war in Afghanistan is causing flashbacks for veterans of the Vietnam War. We know that those who do not learn the lessons of history will live to repeat those lessons. Sadly, Americans have been taught revisionist history and we are already repeating mistakes the second and third times during some of our lifetimes. We were told that our government and the American people had learned from the experience in Vietnam. Our government would never let it happen again. But things have changed. Many of our current national leaders and top bureaucrats were supporting the enemy during the Vietnam War. They or their parents, professors and favorite “news” casters were throwing fire bombs, spitting on Soldiers returning from the battlefield, and taunting the parents and siblings of fallen heroes. They loathed the military then and still do, and they hate the things about America that our ancestors fought and died to preserve.
