In small amounts, rat poison can very effectively control the number of rats in any given sewer. Nobody's saying who, but a couple of wives of some very influential people in Columbia got the Mayor to stop using rat poison. They are currently doing nothing.

Not just hotter than Hell

Several scholarly papers talk about various ways to get rid of most of the sewer rats (Norwegian Rat) which can grow to unusual size, one of which is ANTUS, but nothing beats the old flame thrower and an army of dedicated rat killers. But instead of "Googling it," the City of Columbia just quit.

A rodent of unusual size.

I can see it now.. (harp music dream sequence intro)... OK, Mr. Bill. Today, we're going to substitute killing rats via ANTUS with doing nothing. That's right, Mr. Bill, we don't have a clue what we're doing, but we sure know how to respond to a couple of rich people's wives. So, if you'll just stick your head down the storm drain, we'll see if one of the enormous rats that live there will be tempted to.. Oh Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Poor Mr. Bill! You just got your head eaten off! But I guess that's better than dying from bubonic plague! Well, I guess it's time to go back to the drawing board. Maybe we can dangle one of those rich men's wives on a string, down the drain.. (and so on..)

Government is a blunt instrument which should be used sparingly.

Der Führer und Die Putzen

One of the most hilarious things which the left is trying to shush, are these smilarirties to things Obama says which have been foreshadowed by Adolf Hitler. Some of them will take your breath away. Here's a sample"

• "We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions."
• "No matter what amount of talent is employed in the organization of propaganda, it will have no result if due account is not taken of these fundamental principles. Propaganda must be limited to a few simple themes and these must be represented again and again. Here, as in innumerable other cases, perseverance is the first and most important condition of success."
• "The great masses of the people... will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one."
• "We have to put a stop to the idea that it is a part of everybody's civil rights to say whatever he pleases."
• "What luck for the rulers that men do not think."
              - Adolf Hitler

Trust Me. No, Really..

If you were born before before 1950 or were allowed to go to the movies at an early age, then you'll remember the old horror and science fiction movies. Always, ALWAYS the people in charge would say, somewhere in the beginning of the flick, "We're in complete control. NOTHING can go wrong!" And, of course they would wind up being eaten or turned into something worse that would be sacrificed to some crazy space monster.

As I read the news release from the South Carolina Dept. of Revenue (SCDOR), their claim of online tax returns being completely safe rings hollow. Are they going to continue to use the sixth safest online safety company in America, without bid or plan? I'm sorry, but at best, this is not a good plan, and it smells of fish and bad breath. At worst, we may be talking bribery or inappropriate influence, punishable by fine and prison.

A year ago, we might have stood by while we were railroaded without even a clue something was wrong. Now, considering the four to six month wait before we were all told abut the monumental screwup at SCDOR, and considering the VERY QUESTIONABLE circumstance of using Experian as the state online security firm, patience is running thin.

Many people are still waiting for another shoe to drop. The cry increases for new Social Security numbers, and can you blame them? Still, it LOOKS as if we are setting ourselves up for more abuse, unless we act. Fast approaches the time for pitchforks and feathers.

A Football Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray that I won't be a sheep. If I should die before I wake.. (heavens! what a thought!!). Bless everybody and keep our guys and gals in the military safe. And, Lord, if you REALLLLLLLLLLY love me, could you please see your way clear to letting either Georgia or Alabama play Oregon in a Bowl, this season? If for no other reason than to humble the announcers at ESPN.. Please? Amen.

Waiting for the Local Monday
Sports Talk Shows

When it's chilly in the Midlands and the Lowcountry, it's just plain COLD in the Upstate. Even so, the Gamecocks played one of their best games, in spite of the cold, the loss of Marcus Lattimore, and in spite of the annoying injury to Connor Shaw. Carolina took did not wait to wake up in the first quarter, and, by the end of the punishingly cold, dry-breezy night, the score was 27 to 17, the home town crowd at Clemson on their way home to dream of humility for another year.

 
27                                     17

Dylan Thompson was better than credible as the backup quarterback. All the true Freshman needs is a few more pounds and to get a little faster, and he will be a formidable first-stringer. His arm is amazing. It throws ropes.

Steve Spurrier has now tied the mythical Rex Enright for the largest number of wins in a row against Clemson (4), and has become the winingest Coach at Carolina, in this case, surpassing Enright.

The great Clemson offense was not to be denied, completely, as they scored early with 14 points. Unfortunately, the Carolina defense was not to be denied their denying of the Tigers, either, as they shut down Clemson's offense, except for three points, in the second half, as Jadeveon Clowney overcame his own injury to play another outstanding game - four sacks. ^source

But the football gods are fickle. And those at Carolina who think Clemson is no big thing, should husband their hubris and knuckle down for the upcoming bowl.

ps. I can't wait for the crushing of Notre Dame in the BCS Championship Bowl by whomever is the SEC winner. I'm sorry, but Southern Cal is not a test for any major football team, and ND only won by 9 points. But this is another example of why the BCS is such a complete failure.

Manufactured Racism

Something very, very bad is happening. More and more, in private places, in liberal publications, on blogs, on Facebook, anti-semitism is rearing its ugly head. It's almost as if there is a public relations campaign being employed against Israel, specifically, and Jews, in general.

And, so, it is. One of Obama's closest aides, David Plouffe, was paid $100,000 by a company doing business with Iran just before joining the White House staff. Even commercial PR firms like Burson-Marsteller are so tight with Iran, that they refused to help Israel and have persuaded other large American PR firms to ignore them, as well.

This is not a fantasy. You can even Google it.

Judah P. Benjamin, Confederate Secretary of War, was raised in
South Carolina. His home of Charleston was home to the largest
congregation of Reform Jews in America.

And, for once, it is not the fault of Barack Obama, at least, not entirely. He will not lift a finger to stop the racism against the Jews, but he will not actively support the racism, either. However, it is to his advantage that the country is becoming more and more divided. It was a technique used quite frequently by Mussolini - let it appear that others are doing the dirty work.

South Carolina has a long history of tolerance when it comes to almost everyone, and we are on the cusp of tolerance of everyone. We cannot allow this sinister wickedness to slime its way into our precious homeland. And we must use every power that we possess, as a state, to keep ourselves safe from the Federal power of hatred and division. Safe, until we can stand with other states and proclaim our freedom against the Federal racism that surrounds us on purpose.

Tools Down! or not..

Unions, empowered by the presidential election squeaker, are planning strikes right an left.. or maybe I should say, "left and 'lefter'." Our sources say that Boeing is blessing the day they decided to move to South Carolina, as are Michelin and BMW. Right to work states garner such praise.

This SEIU protester did not even work at LAX. Did not know why she was protesting.

What unions don't appreciate is the fact that, even with the specific one-sided interference by the NLRB, they will still be chasing businesses away. Nobody wants to do business with unions, anymore. It would be like marrying the person who sexually abused you as a child. Added to that, businesses who have not already moved to those states, or have been courted by those states to come there, would be stupid to do business there.

The Justice department is under investigation. Some of our other sources say that the NLRB is being investigated by several state bureaux of investigation. And instead of letting sleeping dogs lie, the unions are pushing for even more illegal support. This kind of bootjack fascism, which always follows economic fascism, will breed nothing but failure.

Jubilate Deo

Feel bad? Depressed? Unhappy? You don't have to be. There's a really good poem you might be interested in. I have included it here for your Thanksgiving enjoyment. It always gives me strength and makes me happy.

The reason it does, is because it's a song of David, King of Israel. David wasn't perfect, by any means. But he always loved God, even as he acted out his stupid behavior. Every one of us has a friend like David. We may not approve of his behavior, but he is still our friend. I believe God works like that. Surely that has to give every one of us, who have done dumb things, at least some hope.

1. O BE joyful in the Lord, all ye lands :
               serve the Lord with gladness, and come before
               his presence with a song.
2. Be ye sure that the Lord he is God :
               it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
               we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
3. O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise :
               be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.
4. For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting :
               and his truth endureth from generation to
               generation. ^{(Psalm 100 from the PECUSA BCP 1928)}

Happy Thanksgiving!

Taking Their Medicine

After the election, as you may already know, I rummaged around, trying to find answers as to why, after all the work, time, and money, was spent on this election, it ended as it did. I think I may have discovered the answer, but I don't think you're going to like it.

The answer is, ALL OF THE ABOVE.

• Many millions of Tea-Party conservatives did not vote - enough to defeat every Democrat running.
• The Democrats DID play Santa Claus. It may be insulting, but it is still, nonetheless, true.
• Gary Johnson bled off several million libertarian votes - enough to defeat Obama.
• Moderate Republicans are perceived as not cool. Cool requires the ability not only to be able to laugh at oneself, but to be able to share that laughter, even on popular TV shows.
• The ideals of Republicans are NOT self-evident to people educated in public schools.
• The diversity of Republicans is NOT self-evident to people who have been perpetually told otherwise.
• Republicans must return blow for blow - in EVERY venue - as merciless as they have been attacked, and go one to strike new and crippling blows to the Democrats. Hit them where they live, where they sleep, where they preach, where they teach.
• Republicans MUST embrace libertarians AND conservatives AND TEA Partiers. The moderates will follow or be left behind.
• Republicans must TEACH, at every opportunity, that Constitutional resolve is not "meanness," but an everyday blessing of the rights of humanity.
• For their part, conservatives need to understand that some abortions are self defense.
• Republicans MUST reject the moderation of the New England Republican Establishment.
• Republicans must remember that Obama did not win any mandate. He barely won at all.
• And, finally, the Republicans must ALWAYS embrace the truth with clear-eyed vigor. If they do the above, there will be no need for Democrat dirty tricks and societal bribery.

Now, the economy belongs to Obama. At the very best, our success will be limited to the stunted growth of Japan. The market will become erratic. The dollar will be supplanted. Medical expenses will skyrocket. But Republicans cannot count on the populace to just give Obama up. They must be reminded EVERY DAY why conservative libertarianism is the better choice, NOT why Obama is the fool he is. The former must be proclaimed, the latter, experienced, as it surely will be.

Told Ya So #16

The French have allowed their generally liberal nature to work against them. Again. If you will remember, just a few weeks ago, France elected a Socialist named Hollande to be their head of state. Like all naïvèes Socialistes, Hollande promised Les Français the known world, all the gold that they could eat, world peace, and a workers' paradise. He's only been in power but a few weeks, and already his Obamaesque reforms are slowing the economy down even further than it was before he came into power

I like France, but not so much as to BE France. Politically, we have seen the wickedness and have ignored it, or embraced it. I will be very interested to see what the market does today.

Hopes and Fears

If you didn't see the Carolina-Wofford game, you don't know that the Gamecocks are.. how do you say this gently.. challenged.. when it comes to passing against a zone defense. The Gamecock defense took three quarters to figure out the Terrier's wishbone.

It doesn't matter that the ACC has only three decent teams, Clemson is one of those three. Anyone who thinks that this coming Saturday will be a cakewalk for Carolina is blowing bubbles.

Riding Into the Sunset

In all the talk about the demise of the Twinkie, nobody even bothered to mention that the unions have also killed off the sponsor of The Lone Ranger. They also sponsored the SEC, their roots going back to their beginnings in Birmingham, Alabama. Merita Bread was bought by Interstate Bakeries Corporation in 1988, after years of successful baking. Later, IBC bought back all their outlying stock and went private, naming themselves, "Hostess Brands," in an attempt to get a handle on their expenses, one of which were so many unions that success would never be theirs.^(source)

Merita Bread Sponsored "The Lone Ranger"
radio program for years in the 50's.

Had there not been an Obamacare, they may have been able to negotiate with the 20 unions, successfully. But when the Bakers Union went on strike, they realized they simply could not afford to go on. They shuttered all of their plants today. When their stores run out, they will close, too. Over 18,500 people will lose their jobs, altogether.

You're going to hear a lot of distressed people, who are now out of work. When you hear them, have pity on them. They thought they were right in supporting their union, Obamacare, and all the other moocher laws that our country has embraced. They were warned it wouldn't work, that the money wasn't there. Now they know how wrong they were.

So, as the "Overture to William Tell" fades, and the Masked Man and his faithful friend, Tonto, ride off into the sunset, the America they represented dies along with the strains. This time, there is no commercial. Fade to black.

Farewell..

That's the bad part. The good part is that you can bake your own bread. Here's how you can make your own Twinkie

Jim Yells Racism (again)

Every time a conservative or any lover of the truth gets close to the truth, the Democrats trot out Jim Clyburn (D-SC) to accuse that person of racism. This time, it's for the wretched excuse of a UN ambassador, Susan Rice, who slavishly appeared in front of the media Sunday Shows to back up her man, Barack, on the false story about Benghazi and that stupid film. Jim had knowledge of the Benghazi actions early on, it seems.

What is really so sad about Jim is that for the period of his life, before he was crowned King of the Congressional Corridor of Shame, he fought for justice and equality, and against "Tomism" and racial stereotypes. I wonder if he realizes that he's being trotted out on some political ekkyklema, like a crazed, slaughtered character in a Greek tragedy.

Evolutionary Conundrum

While we're all waiting for the next shoe to drop in the Benghazi scandal, there is a much less, but equally amazing, scandal developing on the other side of the planet. The UN is killing rats on the Galapagos Islands.

The very place which gave birth to the idea of evolution, in the mind of the often misunderstood Charles Darwin, is a site of tinkering with evolution. It can be assumed that, since Darwin arrived on the Beagle, the ship had rats. So, the very person who conceived of evolution, may have introduced a variant in evolution to the very place which aided that conception.

What's up, Chuck?

Is your head hurting yet?

The real question is - Why is the UN screwing with the process of natural selection? The answer must be that the United Nations doesn't consider humans to be a part of evolution, and that, because they brought rats to that island. Do they know something we don't know about the presence of humans or rats on Planet Earth? Are we the original illegal aliens? Are they? Is the UN?

What does the UN know, and when did they know it? Are we here, on Earth, because of a spontaneous protest? Did the rats come from a sinking UFO? A Terrorist act? Are we here because of a Union strike? Do humans live on Earth because we all fell off a fiscal cliff, and had to move from Mars? The rats?

Whatever the reason, by trying to kill the rats which infest the historic archipelago, all they are doing is participating in another evolutionary act. The UN is more powerful than the rats on the Galapagos Islands - THEY are the fittest. But animals that eat the poisoned rats will also die, and they will be determined to be necessary deaths, by the wiser United Nations. Who knows, this wise act of the UN may kill ALL the animals who inhabit the archipelago..?

Either way, the Galapagos Islands will, once again, assert for all to see the stupidity of government, trying to solve a natural problem, which is, in itself, an evolutionary event. And, personally, I can't wait for the UN to become extinct.

Now Up to 40 States!

For the record, I think secession is a bad idea. But I will do everything in my power to keep South Carolina free.

I was searching the internet, today, looking for comments from regular people on all the secession talk, and the 40 states who where petitions have originated, and I got to thinking,"What if all 50 States seceded from the union?" Think about it. Who would we secede FROM?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

The answer seems simple enough. We would secede from Washington, DC, which, as we all know, can't secede from itself. And would that not be a site. There would sit Mr. Obama, King of his 64,000 acres, with no-one to boss around, no-one to bully, no-one to "help" out their taxes or health or lives.

But that's a pipe dream. Still, one commenter was bewailing the fact that she would no longer get her welfare check. In her expletive-laden vituperation, she asked WHO would supply the food stamps and the "free" housing. "Then why," she asked, "do we pay federal income tax?"

That, madam, IS the question, isn't it? Why, indeed? Our country is just waking up, after 70 years of sleep, after the greatest generation won the most historic victory, ever. We are just now yawning and asking ourselves the important questions, one of which is, is secession the answer to fascism?

Probably not. But if you force a people who thought they were free to kowtow to a fascist statism, it may, eventually, be the only solution. And, God help us, if it actually happens. I'm named for several great-grandfathers and a great-great uncle. All were patriots. Three were South Carolina patriots. One was a general in The Late Unpleasantness. He died a pauper in Georgetown. Frankly, I don't think he would want me to go through all that again. Yet, being half Scot, half Huguenot, I will not cotton to fascists or pseudo-intellectuals, masquerading as progressives.

Again, for the record, I think secession is a bad idea. But I will do everything in my power to keep South Carolina free from the influence of the fascist Obama administration. I believe that path is still through the power of the vote. So my solution is to vote locally and let's really work on neutralizing the brie-and-boxed wine progressives.

Next time, VOTE-US, not POTUS.

Another Colossal Example of Ignorance, or, is Obama Dirty?

I'm still mulling all the information on Patraeus and the widening circle of deceit that is being spun by the Obama Administration. This has Axelrod all over it. We still don't have all the information, and, there are other shoes which will drop.

But one thing is sure; It's all meant to draw attention away from Obama and his agents, who are lying about the murders in Benghazi, and Obama's culpability.

Smoking Weather-Joe Is At It Again

Weatherbell.com ace meteorologist, Joe Bastardi, has been calling for flooding possibilities in New York around Thanksgiving. Seems his historical-pattern-recognition technique, which called for Sandy + Nor'easter, right on the nose, is seeing onshore flow. Now, this may or may not be the herald of Snow for us, but come December, there's a good chance it will be colder in the Palmetto State than is was in 2011!

And, if you were a premium member of Weatherbell.com, you'd have known about this possibility, a week ago.

Douglas's "The Lull Before the Social Storm"

A very good friend of mine sent me the following article by retired sociology professor, Jack D. Douglas. Whenever somebody writes something that is better than anything I could say about a certain subject, I like to pass it along. When you get through the first paragraph, you can continue reading the article by clicking on the "source" button.

Pearl Harbor came as a surprise because the world had
been lulled into believing nothing would happen.

Vast social revolutions and wars are often preceded by periods of giving up on reforms, despairing withdrawal from public life by the best and brightest, and even peacefulness which seems to have become the normal condition in spite of deep conflicts and growing crises beneath the surfaces of public life. Often, earlier periods of intense conflicts and crises have been overcome and resolved, so it comes to look like that is the normal in life. This lulls most people into assuming their worse fears cannot happen, but this leads them to lowering their guards against growing conflicts and crises, so small ones can more easily cascade down into massive ones. If people expected they could become vast wars or revolutions or implosions, they would take more precautions to prevent that. But when lulled in expecting the worst cannot happen, the worst than they could ever imagine often explodes suddenly. ^(source)

With one exception so far, eventually, all families with integrity either flee their homeland or bargain for peace with their souls.

And Carolina Beat Arkansas, Too!

Forrest Gump is crying, tonight. Alabama was sacked by a whole team of ATMs. The BCS is being proven, once again, to be a pile of poo! No wonder ESPN is trying so desperately to defend it.

Clemson, on the other hand is celebrating. For the fourth time this season, the Tigers have defeated St. Ætheldreda's School for Blind Virgins.

More Info, Please

D/CIA Patraeus resigns - more information on the subject needed.

If you will excuse me, I'm not going to comment on D/CIA Patreaus, yet, except to say that this peccadillo will not keep good journalists from asking the administration questions about the murders in Benghazi.

Not So Smart, After All

If you think Romney was ill-served by his advisors, you have no idea how badly. Please, if you have any time at all, PLEASE read the article on the Orca Project. It is a breath-taking story of incompetence, and is also excellent reporting work on behalf of the folks as Breitbart.com.

But I couldn't help thinking about the election in general, and all of the carping after it, blaming this person or that idea. Besides being naïvely run, this really was really an election which was won by the moochers. It will cost us dearly. And, my thoughts have led me back to the words of John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, when he said,

"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders." ^(source)

Apology for 'W'

In the aftermath of a so-called "super-storm," the media has, once again given a pass to the entirely incompetent Barack Obama, Monarch of the United States. How can this be so?

If you look at the amount of damage and the damaged area, it is comparable to Katrina. The only difference is that more people died then, because the New Orleans Mayor punted, when it came to preparation. If the media really believes this, then 'W' needs to be apologized to.

"Mission accomplished!"

If you believe that Katrina really was more severe than Sandy, then the media REALLY needs to apologize to 'W.' Because you have a lesser storm being as poorly handled as the media pretends Katrina was.

So, make up your minds. Pay my money. Make your choice. More or less. Either apologize to 'W' or admit that Obama had a "mission accomplished" moment.

Mad Market

The stock market has decoupled from the precious metals market for the past 2 days. This is meaningless, unless we see it happen for a week's worth of trading. What it means, right now, is that your gold and silver didn't lose much money, while your 401K has lost 10% - 20% since the highs, last month. On a personal note, it's really funny how the major media are blaming Greece, again, for the dip in the market, rather than the fact that we're all just realizing 400 very big private investors have started trading stocks on foreign markets, cause their money is no longer in the country.

A Good, Hard Look, Part 1

Their President has invited people from other countries in the Western Hemisphere to enter our country, illegally. He has invited foreign governments to dictate rules and law within the borders of our country. Their President, has invited the laziest among us to steal money from the hardest working of us in our country. He has invited our enemies to invade areas in lands we have righteously made safe with our blood and treasure. And, he has invited the teachers in Schools and colleges to turn their backs on the ideas and ideals of Liberty, Industry, Self-reliance, and Thrift, which are the collective essence of Capitalism, in favor of an indefinable "Fairness" which encourages the essence of Collectivism.

By not voting him out, we have allowed him to continue this treason, with the help of his thug Justice Department, and his Thug Senate. What is so ludicrous is that some people actually think the Democrat Party can be reduced to a cipher by giving in to their demands. The painful fact is that their national victory is irreversible. The next time there is a vote for President, the number of illegal aliens and criminals running the polling places will reach a total of over 51%.

The only road is a long and tedious one. If freedom is to reign in America, again, we will have to take back the hearts and minds of our schools and colleges. For the most part, they are havens of George Orwell's fears when he stated, in Animal Farm, that, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

We must do away with the idea that everyone should go to college. Technical Schools, like the ones in South Carolina, have great merit. We must begin to teach grammar, mathematics, science, Latin, French, AND Spanish, and good research skills in High Schools, again. 70% of graduating High School Seniors cannot conjugate a verb! 80% still believe in Androgenic Global Warming. 93% of these same students do not know that Odoacer, the Vandal was more Roman than Romulus Augustulus, and that he was able to occupy Rome so easily because he returned a true gold standard value to Roman coinage. 94% of graduating High School Seniors have no idea what money IS! 100% of these same students do not know what the Subjunctive is. 100% also say, when interviewed, that they were NEVER taught grammar, ancient history, cookbook physics, basic economics, or everyday mathematics, in either middle school or high school! They also all say that they were taught humans cause global warming, we didn't need to bomb Hiroshima or Nagasaki, African-Americans cannot be bigots, and impeachment equals conviction.

We must do away with the racist idea of Affirmative Action. It, as a result of the War on Poverty, has done more to foster the idea of an entitlement society. Affirmative Action and the War on Poverty, beyond the fact that they are socialist ideas, are fundamentally, racist ideas, which weren't even good ideas in the 60's, despite popular opinion to the contrary. Wealth redistribution, however it is couched, has never worked in any society in which it has been tried. But, most importantly, students need to learn to win AND lose. We do not teach our children how to pick themselves up after defeat and redouble their efforts. Instead, as we are seeing in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, many people just sitting around, EXPECTING to be rescued - another result of an entitlement society.

Teachers must be well-experienced, as well as educated, in their subject. Too many college professors and teachers have a degree, but no experience. An embarrassing supporting statistic to contemplate is that, only teachers of the arts (sculpture, painting, music, theatre, speech, etc.) have to have experience as well as an advanced degree.

So, we end part one of this discussion with the caveat, that we MUST reform our schools, and even more importantly, we must reform the reformers who have led us into a cauldron of societal error.

After The End..

Yes, Liberty in America is over, but the fight isn't. We are, politically, exactly where we were last week. Stalemate. Obama is still the amateur in chief, but the Republic is not yet dead. Sensibility still controls the house, plus Harry Reid as well as Obama could well be headed for impeachment involving graft during the stimulus and cowardice over Benghazi.

There is a lot to poke and prod at, and it will not be easy, but I almost feel free.

Republicans need to jettison the anti-homosexuals and moderates and embrace little "L" libertarians. Prepare!

Greenlighting What?
People do not understand what FEMA does. When Dad helped start what later became FEMA, it was a simple process - get trailers for people to use, 'til they could get their houses and apartments fixed up, or move on. The states were supposed to be responsible. But Nixon and Carter were both douches and expanded this simple helping gesture into a full-fledged federal horror show which has never lived up to its own reputation. FEMA is a joke. FEMA only coordinate rescue responses. They have done EXACTLY the same amount of responding that they did in the same amount of time in the aftermath of Katrina.

So, does that make Brack Obama the same as George Bush? It should, but it won't. If CNN is any judge, Obama isn't made of Teflon®, he's the biker dude made out of phony money. Obama is all hat and no cattle. But as the commercial goes, "It ain't whatcha do, it's the way thatcha do it" - which influences the weak-minded.

A Presidential Endorsement
After reading the latest report on the corruption by the administration of the CIA over the Benghazi murders, and the Bahrain coverup, explicitly helped by CNN, if the Free Republic post is correct, anyone who votes for Barack Obama, again, is either remarkably cynical or remarkably stupid.

The only question left is, is Mitt Romney the right choice? My answer is this:

• A Romney win means a return to capitalism as a direction.
• A Romney win means Social Security stays pretty much the same.
• A Romney win means the generals & admirals run the military.
• A Romney win means simplification of the tax code.
• A Romney win means a neutralization or outright revocation (if Republicans control the Senate and the House, too) of Obamacare.
• A Romney win means an end to lies about the economy.
• A Romney win means an end to lies about the number of jobs.
• A Romney win means an end to government by dictate.
• A Romney win means an accounting of the Federal Reserve.
• A Romney win means states get to decide education issues.
• A Romney win means moderate, substantial business growth.
• A Romney win means more jobs.
• A Romney win means, if the unthinkable happens, Joe Biden will NOT be President.
• A Romney win means a chance to return to personal freedom.
• A Romney win means less Federal Government.
• A Romney win means adherence to the Constitution.
• A Romney win means an end to Eric Holder at Justice.
• A Romney win means EVERYBODY gets a chance to succeed.
• A Romney win means a chance to end corporate welfare,
• A Romney win means an end to government choosing winners.
• A Romney win means the end of fascism as a direction..
• A Romney win means a new beginning for the American future.

  And most importantly to libertarians,

• A Romney win means an end to an oppressive Obama administration.

So, for all these reasons and more, SwampfoxNews.com is endorsing Mitt Romney for President, which to most of you is no surprise at all.

Romney/Ryan rallies are drawing ten times
the crowds compared to Obama/Biden's

But, in order for Romney to win and with it a return to America's America, citizens will have to vote for him. We already know that the Democrats are now wedded to Obama's brand of 1930's Italian fascism. Many, not all, but many will cheat and steal votes, Tuesday. Which leaves only one conclusion: You cannot afford to stay home, this election. YOU MUST VOTE.

Tigers Eat Duke
Did anybody actually, really, sincerely think that Clemson wouldn't eviscerate Duke? 56 to 20. Good for them. Gamecocks will have a fight on their hands.

Rare Saturday Column
Please excuse me, if I seem uncaring, which is ABSOLUTELY NOT the case, but we, in South Carolina have seen all this before. 27 times before (28 times if you count the "Great Storm of 1893").

The Great Storm of 1893

The SC "Victory Storm" - 1945

Hurricane Hazel - 1954

Hurricane Hugo - 1989

Granted, the Safir-Simpson Scale is not very accurate, still it was all we had, until the Bastardi Scale, which meteorologists are just now discovering. Using the SSS, only three have been counted as cat 4. But over 40 hurricanes and tropical storms have done immense devastation, when they spun off countless tornadoes. In any case, we have seen the 1893, the September 1945, Hazel (1959), and Hugo (1989). ALL were Fall events and all wreaked havoc.

Hurricane Sandy - 2012

Yankees don't normally understand things they don't have to viscerally experience. Well, now they ARE experiencing it. Perhaps, in the future, they will be less snarky about our storms. For now, let's be generous, as Southerners are so good at being, and send help and prayers to our unlucky Yankee brethren. May God help them and spur us to send them voluntary help.

(Late Saturday morning, long after this column was written, we heard that Governors Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and Chris Christie (RINO-NJ) are doing everything they can to keep the relief effort completely under government control, rather than making paths for commercial gas carriers and contracters and away from volunteers. So, no matter what they do, it will not end well, for those who have been hurt by Sandy.)

Time to Gut It Up!
So, here we are - the last weekend of the quadrennial fist-fight for the Presidency. Every pundit who accesses more people than her own family and the cousin who never leaves his basement, is talking about how hostile the election is. It truly is time for a history lesson.

Ahem..

Democrats like to point to the late Lee Atwater, 41's PR dude, saying that he was the one who started it all. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth (further for metaphorical distance, farther for physical distance). Another myth is that he lied. He didn't lie, it's just that everybody was shocked that he could dig that deep.

Everyone who, in the beginning, became a Republican, was, originally, a Democrat. We all learned from the hardest fighters - people like Fritz Hollings, Edgar Brown, Sol Blatt. You never gave up, and you never gave in. You fought as hard as was humanly possible, and the Devil took the hindmost.

The late Olin Johnston, fighter

Still living Fritz Hollings, fighter

So, to say a South Carolina Republican was the original persistent campaigner is ridiculous. You might as well say that I was, or Roger Ailes, or Bill Clinton, or Al Gore was. We were ALL beneficiaries of Strom Thurmond and Dr. Jim Edwards and John Carl West and Olin Johnston. They weren't dishonest or liars, no, not even Jimmy Carter. They just fought like all Hell.. well, Carter fought like heck.

Enter Barack Obama and his handler, David Axelrod. Working from the battle plans of the Clintonistas, they knew faithful Democrats would believe anything they said. So they said everything. It worked. Now, they're trying the same thing, but it doesn't have the same ring of truth AND, the opposition, Romney and Ryan, are spending and fighting dollar for dollar, inch for inch, fact for fact, push for shove.

It is no wonder that people are tired of the campaign. But NOW is the time to reach down into that secret place, where courage resides, to steel themselves to stand in that line to vote. And besides, it will all be over in four days. Let's pray that last sentence is only metaphorical.

- Dick Anderson.
