All Republican Candidates Except Ted Cruz pile on Trump for Criticism of McCain “Hero” Status
The Republican National Committee, the dominant media and all Republican Presidential candidates except for Ted Cruz have been criticizing Republican candidate Donald Trump since he began talking about the absolute necessity to close the Southern Border and deal with illegal alien criminals. The Republican Party backed by the Chamber of commerce that wants cheap labor wants to ignore the alien problem until after the election, hoping that they can out-promise Democrats and get Hispanic votes. Trump refuses to be silenced and forced to follow the party line.
Trump’s detractors thought he had made a fatal mistake and began predicting his demise after he deliberately attacked Senator John McCain during a question and answer session with Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, Saturday afternoon.

Down the Slippery Slope

NOTE FROM EDITOR:
This article was published August 8th, 1994. It demostrates the ability of Dr. Blumenfeld to predict where progressive educators were taking the American people – down the road to a dumb, ignorant electrate.
-------------------------
The story of how American education has become the awful mess it is today is a long one, with many important characters implementing crucial changes in pedagogical theory, ideologies, and worldviews. But if one wanted to reduce the story to a simple summation, one could say that the history of American education is really the history of a war between those who believe in traditional biblically based values, and those who don’t.
Senators Vote to Remove Flag From Memorial

Lawmakers Voted as Leftists Moveon.org Announced Plans to Lobby on the North Steps of the Capitol on Tuesday to Take Down What they Labeled the “Antiquated Symbol of Rebellion and Racism”
The South Carolina Senate voted 37 to 3 on Monday afternoon to remove the Confederate battle flag from the Confederate Soldier Memorial to the Confederate Relic Room. This gesture is virtually meaningless since the flag flown on the Capitol Dome was stored in the Relic Room 15 years ago and this flag is only a replica of that banner.
The three Senators voting in opposition to the proposal were Lee Bright, Danny Verdin and Harvey Peeler.
The vote was on second reading of the bill with a third and final reading set for Tuesday morning. The proposal will then move to the House for debate and a vote expected before weeks end.
Banning Flag Sales Hurts More Than Just Flag-Sellers

The law of unintended consequences tells us that people’s actions always create not only planned, but unplanned results. I encountered the law this week when Etsy joined the list of major online retailers banning the sale of the Confederate battle flag.
Etsy is a digital marketplace that offers ready-made, customizable, online shop space to small businesses. My Etsy-hosted store, Creative Cockades, is now in its 5th year. I just broke the “800 sales” mark. I do not sell the Confederate flag – or any flag. But my Etsy store is going to run off of Etsy shortly. Why? The law of unintended consequences.
I’m sure Etsy was only intending to put out of business the people selling Confederate flags. And after all, I’m sure they reasoned, those are just bigoted, racist people anyway so nobody will miss them.
Unfortunately, Etsy reckoned without their customers. Etsy buyers are apparently not the spineless sheep that Etsy management is. Some of them stand on principle rather than following the latest media-induced fad. So Etsy customers who know their history (read that, 75% of my customers) are now boycotting Etsy because of the flag-selling ban.

Lawmakers Invited Guests Asked to Report on Flag Issue
The Sixteenth Regiment, Sons of Confederate Veterans, in Greenville, honors a unit by that designation composed mostly of men from Greenville and Furman University. The camp had a record turnout at their regular June meeting last Thursday night at the Phoenix Inn. Camp 36 has some 200 active members, however several members of other Upstate camps and non-members were also in attendance.
The scheduled speaker was canceled and the meeting was devoted to discussion of attacks on the Confederate battle flag charged with political expediency. The program change was made with short notice and several Upstate lawmakers were invited.

A Presentation by John Warren to Republican Women and their Guests
Lima One Capital CEO John Warren, who served as a United States Marine Corps officer in Iraq, was the featured speaker at the Greenville County Republican Women’s Club Annual Americanism program at the Poinsett Club.
Warren discussed how the United States could defeat ISIS and restore our nation’s greatness.
Since the economy is the engine that fuels our national defense, Warren said we must first “control federal spending, reform the tax code and entitlements and repeal damaging regulations.”
He discussed the importance of small business in the economy. He said the 26 million businesses with 500 employees or less employ half of the working Americans.
