The bloodbath continues along our southern border and now word is coming in that Los Zetas, the highly trained killers formerly with the Gulf Cartel, have crossed into the United States and taken over at least two ranches in the Laredo, Texas area. I am receiving word that the owners of the ranches have evacuated without being harmed.

Founder of the San Diego Minutemen Jeff Schwilk tipped me off to this story and passes along the following information on the location. The ranches are said to be “near Mines Rd. and Minerales Annex Rd about 10 miles NW of I-35″. [Read more →]

What, you thought that the GOP represented your values and standards? Not in South Carolina.

As we stand now long overdue for a high level disciplinary action on State Sen. Jake Knotts for his racism and bigotry, the Republican Party wants us to exercise church-like conduct and move on. As such, perhaps the only thing more disturbing than the SCGOP’s complete refusal to discipline Sen. Knotts during their executive committee meeting is the fact that they went the route of twisting God’s Word in order to do so.

York County Executive Committeeman Glenn McCall gave us a unity speech quoting from the Bible and asking that we “put away malice and strife,” using his skin color in an attempt to persuade the party to his side. Karen Floyd backed him up with similar comments, and no one took any action to address Knotts’ unapologetic misbehavior.

What can we do? First, we need to notify our county GOP leadership. Second, we can let Karen Floyd know of our dissatisfaction over her establishment pandering. Lastly, perhaps it is time for some of us to seek positions within the GOP so that we can have trustworthy leadership who are concerned with promoting righteousness rather than enjoying the benefits of power.

The symbolism in the illustrations below is thought provoking, and I believe it to be accurate.  Please read all the way to the bottom of the email.  Consider the quotations at the end.  I ask you this…if this is the greatest country in the history of the world, why do some want a complete makeover? Duh!

ANDERSON COUNTY — There will be explosions and military trucks on the streets of Anderson County, but it won’t be real.

In the weeks of June 8 through June 20, Anderson County emergency response teams — from law enforcement units and fire departments to emergency management workers and the coroner’s office — will participate in a mock terrorist attack in the Anderson area. [Read more →]

This year, the SCGOP has added two questions to the June 8 primary ballot. The questions are only ADVISORY in nature, and carry no effect in law. The text of the questions is as follows:

Advisory Question 1 – The healthcare reform bill recently signed into law by President Obama requires all American citizens to purchase health insurance or else to pay a fine to the federal government.  The legislation also contains tax benefits and other inducements that apply only to certain states, benefits that were apparently designed to persuade those states’ Senators or Representatives to vote for President Obama’s healthcare reform Bill.

Therefore, be it resolved:  The South Carolina General Assembly should defend the freedom of all South Carolinians to make their own healthcare decisions by enacting legislation making it illegal to force the citizens of South Carolina to purchase health insurance or participate in a healthcare plan against their will, or to comply with any of the provisions or mandates of nationalized healthcare that do not apply equally to all states.

Do you agree with the resolution above?

Yes

No

Advisory Question 2 – Growth of state spending should not exceed the growth of the economy.

Therefore, be it resolved: The South Carolina General Assembly should enact legislation to limit state spending growth in South Carolina to a growth rate not to exceed the lesser of the annual percentage growth in income of the State’s citizens, or the growth in population plus inflation.

Do you agree with the resolution above?

Yes

No

President Barack Obama has taken the United States one more giant step towards socialism by ramming through the Senate his financial regulation bill.

The bill authorizes the secretary of the Treasury — a political appointee — to seize any financial company (bank or nonbank) simply because, in his opinion, it is too big to fail and in danger of insolvency.

This power can be used for political retribution, pressure for campaign funding, or any other abuse bureaucratic whim or partisan politics can conceive. It is a power Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez would love to have! [Read more →]
