“Barack Hussein Obama is an Islamist in his Foreign Policy Perspectives and Supports their Cause”
With most of the television media in Obama’s pocket and powerful Senators and Congressmen either in support of, or afraid of the president, only retired military officers appear bold enough to speak the truth about our current president and his political appointees.
Allen West, Lieutenant Colonel USA (Ret.), a former congressman, expressed his views on why President Obama seems to always support the terrorists on his web site last week.
Greenville Tea Party Featured Sheri Few and Thomas Ravenel

Bill Rhodes and the Greenville Tea Party had two interesting and controversial guest speakers at their Thursday, August 14, meeting.
Few, the founder of South Carolina Parents Involved in Education (PIE), challenged the public education establishment and led a valiant battle against the implementation of the controversial Common Core Education Standards in South Carolina as candidate for Superintendent of Education.
Ravenel is a petition candidate and the “third man” in the race to challenge incumbent United States Senator Lindsey Graham in the November 2014 General Election.
Ravenel is a developer and builder from Charleston and former Republican State Treasurer. He was removed from the position as the result of drug charges. With his sentence served, he has decided to enter the race for senate as an independent.
Ravenel, a former conservative Republican, came across in his comments as being sort of a left-leaning libertarian, if there is such a label. He received enthusiastic applause when he struck clear disagreement with Graham, but drew a few blank stares when he described a muddled plan for dealing with the open border, illegal immigration problem.

Worst case Scenario Post Would Lose 3,100 of 7,000 Permanent Military and Civilian Personnel
Fort Jackson has been added to a list of United States Army posts being considered for major personnel reductions. The Columbia Chamber of Commerce is reacting quickly to “build a network of stakeholders to reach elected officials of both parties at the local, state, and federal level. “
Under the worst case scenario, the Army’s Supplemental Programmatic Environmental Assessment (SPEA) projects that Fort Jackson could lose 3,100 of its 7,000 permanent party Army soldier and civilian population.
“This reduction would be devastating to the Midlands, and doesn’t account for the associated economic decline in the ensuing reduction in basic trainees,” said the Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber estimates that losing 3,100 jobs would equate to a population loss of 7,733, including direct, indirect employees, spouses and dependents.

Greenville County GOP Executive Committee Discussed Support of RINOS and their Opponents
The Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committee spent most of their Monday evening August meeting time discussing rules governing county and precinct officers and the requirement that they refrain from openly supporting opponents of the party nominee in the General Election.
A planned resolution to wave a rule that would allow Executive Committeemen to support a petition candidate challenging United States Senator Lindsey Graham was never presented to the committee for consideration.
The rules state that a party officer forfeits his office if he supports an opponent of the party candidate.
The only motion that made it to the floor was one regarding the primary winner and Republican Party nominee for Superintendent of Education.
