And therein is the problem: People with darker skin are no more African than are people from India. A little known fact is that whoever was still in Africa when Toba blew up 71,000 (± 2,000) years ago, left Africa for India, except for a small group of humans known as "the Bushmen." Many scientists think the Homo Sapiens Sapiens population reduction began before the 6 to 10 year worldwide, all-year winters caused by the eruption of Toba. And, what we think of as "Africans" - Congolese, Zulu, Swahili, Kenyans, etc. - ALL are immigrants to Africa, except for the Bushmen, who never left.. maybe (there is also a study going on to determine if Ozzie Aborigines migrated to Southern Africa, which, if true, could change "the Bushmen" discussion altogether.) Genetics show that almost all Human migrations are traced from India, after the initial migration from Africa. (see: mtDNA - Mitochondrial DNA and the Toba Bottleneck). What this means is that since we're all from the same place, and we're all related, there is no such thing as skin color determining race - at least not in any scientific sense.

Science's best guess to date: Out of Africa to India, then the World.

In any case, Melanin does not distinguish culture, regardless of what any one person or group thinks. Melanin, or the lack thereof, may be a marker to help predict certain susceptibility to a disease or reaction to a food group (see: inherited metabolic liver diseases), but it is not a marker which determines intellect or cultural groupings. Only individuals and groups of individuals voluntarily assume what a culture does or does not do. Groups can decide to act differently. Individuals can decide not to ignore science. And after all, are we not all Americans?
 

(REFORMED) LIBERAL OF THE WEEK

(April 26, 2014) All puppies and all cats - regardless of age - are liberals. They expect to be taken care of from cradle to grave.

But the picture we got for you this week is NOT of a liberal.

PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THE PROBLEM OF FEDERAL GREED

(April 24, 2014) The Enumeration of Powers clause is clear, when it comes to territory the Federal Government wants to control - "...all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislatures of the several States..." That definition, by itself should shame the National government into releasing most of the territories over which it rules. Much of the National Forests' territories were NOT purchased. In some cases, the land was appropriated, in some cases, leased. What most state legislatures did not do was "sell for purchase" the lands which the Federal Government now control.

Understand, I am calling my own, precious, second cousin's idea complete crap. Cousin Teddy was wrong in his ideal of having the Federal Government control lands within each state, other than for "forts" and right-of-ways for "postal roads." No matter how you slice it, that's not National Forests or Parks. It's just not.

Those who believe the Federal Government should control lands within states are the same ones who fail in their knowledge of the words in the English Language - especially when it comes to phrases such as "the common welfare." Their error is more than a mildly humorous mistake; Rather, it is the very death of freedom, spurred on by people who think society can be perfected, instead of a society which can function even when the people are bad.

Private property is part of that system of freedom which allows society to function in spite of itself - as does capitalism, free speech, freedom of beliefs, and representative government which uses but is not manipulated by the chaos that is unbridled democracy.

The real discussion needs to turn to how we give all those stolen and otherwise dishonestly gained territories back to the states and out of the hands of a greedy, gigantic, centralized government.
 

DEMOCRATS ARE NOT NUCLEAR PHYSICISTS

(April 23, 2014) And why not? - you may ask.

Well.... it has to do with the fact that Democrats hate science.

1. They have abandoned science when it comes to Androgenic Global Warming.
2. They think fracking is harmful to Mother Earth.
3. Democrats actually think there is a real Mother Earth.
4. They also can't count: they think that if you print money it's the same as actually having money.
5. Democrats don't understand the flow of power in a vacuum: which is why Russia is treating America like a bad crack-hooker.
6. Democrats fear nuclear power,
7. but aren't afraid of a far more dangerous energy form, electricity.
8. Democrats don't know HOW electricity is more dangerous than nuclear power.
9. Democrats prefer to punish SC politically rather than complete a MOX plant to safely get rid of Nuclear Waste.
10. Democrats think there is a safer way to neutralize nuclear waste - "it just hasn't been discovered yet." (a real Obama Admin quote).

This is how Democrats think nuclear power is made.

And that's how things are done in the merry old land of Oz, where up is down, left is right, and good is bad - the Democrat way.
 

POLITICS AND YOUR LOCAL WEATHER FORECAST

(April 20, 2014) I want to say, up front, that this editorial is not criticising the state's meteorologists. That being said, there is only one meteorologist, on South Carolina television who consistently gets his forecasts right. But to be fair to all the other weather-persons, they are merely victims of a dishonest government which coerces - bullies, if you like - the US Weather Service, whose forecasts they copy.

I want to show you something:

Notice where SC is on this Government weather map!

The Federal Government has decided that South Carolina's weather should be grouped with states whose weather is as divergent as any on the globe. It is not cynical to suggest that this allows the government to make this region's average temperatures appear warmer. The truth is that the Western regional grouping is just as illogical as the Eastern grouping. Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't group Alaska with the Eastern States.

But even THAT silliness is not the point of today's editorial, this Easter Sunday. That map is only a symptom of how politics rules weather forecasting these days.

These forecast numbers were right on, but they didn't come from the GFS or the NWS.

You may have noticed that, lately, forecast temperatures are above what actually occurs. Then, again, you may not have. After all, we move from air conditioned car to air conditioned office to air conditioned bus or cab or plane. You or I could easily not notice - especially, since we don't really pay any attention to the weather, except to see if it will effect our work or entertainment plans.

And when you add to the fact that South Carolina weather is the hardest weather to predict of all the states in the US (there's another editorial), there are real questions as to whether or not National Global Warming policy should be allowed to prevail over sanity.

That policy has effected the forecast models of the GFS and the Rapid Update Model, which almost ALL weather forecasters on SC media use. I say, "almost," because there is at least one meteorologist who does not make that mistake.

So on this blessed day, you can spend your time at worship, trying to figure out who that smart person is. Happy Passover season! Happy Easter! Oh, and almost everyone predicted a beautiful weekend with warm temps, 7 days ago.
 

LIBERAL OF THE WEEK

(April 19, 2014) All puppies and all cats - regardless of age - are liberals. They expect to be taken care of from cradle to grave.

Here's one to make you go "Awwwwwwww.."

Not one smidgen of humility.
 

MR. BUNDY IS PARTICIPATING IN CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE - AND DEMOCRATS ARE AT THE ROOT OF THE SITUATION

(April 18, 2014) None of this would have happened if America had adopted our Swampfox amendment to the constitution. It's on the other side of the page, but I'll quote it, here.

A Proposed New Constitutional Amendment:

No Federal Agency, nor any other unelected Body so constituted, even if representing any Federal Branch or appointed by that branch, shall have any power to make law, or the power to make rules which have the force of law, neither shall it have the power to command or decree the States to any action denied to such body by this amendment to the Constitution of the United States or by any other part or section of the Constitution of the United States.

PLEASE, share this with your favorite legislator.
 

ANOTHER EXCITING EPISODE OF:
"OBAMA THINKS YOU'RE STUPID!"

(April 17, 2014) If you read the comprehensive article in The Washington Free Beacon, please don't shoot yourself in the head. But you need to be alerted to the NLRB and its actions, which are arguably unconstitutional. Of course, none of this matters to the Outlaw Administration and his jumping frog, the Justice Department.

Democrats are trying to see to it that a single person can act as a union. The principle is the same thing as saying, "everybody is a union," which is basically meaningless. But it opens any action of that one worker's company, to government bullying by the National Labor Relations Board, on his or her behalf. The headaches for any company would be many, and in some cases, fatal to that company.

You are, now, your own union!

And then there's something called "Worker Centers." What they actually are, and what they are being designated as by the NLRB, are two, completely different things. The NLRB is saying they are just simple places where workers can get better information on what to expect in their work areas. What they actually are, are staging areas for unionizing activities against unsuspecting companies, sponsored by the NLRB with your tax money.

How many times can one editorialist say, "This is outrageous!" ?? How many times is the current administration going to try to screw American businesses, and by doing so, screw the independent American Worker?
 

UNLESS YOU READ THE FREE BEACON, YOU DON'T KNOW

(April 15, 2014) "Russia Tests Multi-Warhead ICBM," declared the headline in the Washington Free Beacon. And I'm asking myself, DIDN'T THE PRESIDENT AND HIS SOCK PUPPET SECSTATE PROMISE US THAT THE RUSSIANS WERE DE-NUCLEARIZING THEIR MISSILE FORCE, SO WE COULD HAVE FEWER TROOPS? HUH? DIDN'T HE?

One of the many new Russian ICBM MRV missiles SecState Kerry says doesn't exist

Can we trust ANYTHING this power-hungry, race-baiting, psychologically transferring, liar says? And what about Jim Clyburn, who supports every vain project his Pretend-to-Care Party proffers?

When does this Democrat cluster-hump of America stop?
 

GOODBYE GAMECOCKS ONLINE

(April 13, 2014) No tirade. No accusations. I just canceled my subscription to gamecocksonline.com. Again. Too many technical difficulties. Too many blackouts. Too much money for what you get - which is nuts, because, if they really delivered what they promised, the cost would be cheap. It's my fault for trusting them, again.

It was 3½ hours into the game when a sign popped up.
This one is a fake, but it's what they should have said.
Anyway, I really did think they would have good service,
this time. My bad.

The above fake screen grab is what they SHOULD have said. But a sign DID pop up at the most critical time in the game. So.. that's it. Tell'em bye!
 

LIBERAL OF THE WEEK

(April 12, 2014) All puppies and all cats - regardless of age - are liberals. They do not work, nor produce anything to assure their existence, and yet expect to be taken care of from cradle to grave. But, many of them are adorable, or at least pleasant to look at. So, every once in a while, we'll show you pictures of liberals we can ALL tolerate. Here's one you can chew on - I found it on the internet.

He's gonna need REAL health care if he eats any more of that.
 

DEMOCRATS ARE DISSOLVING IN THEIR OWN ACID

(April 11, 2014) Virulent, hateful, angry - words usually attributed to panicked political advisors - are being used about President Obama and his Attorney General, Eric Holder. And why not?

Every day, they have to listen to news reports about something they said that wasn't true, or hearing about their actions which are, at the very, very least, actionable under any other administration. Even people they have set up to lie for them are resigning, Kathleen Sebelius being only the latest. They must be getting a little nervous.

Then there are the Congressmen and Senators who are daily pelting him with grumbles, which is all you're allowed to do, if you're a Democrat. But, even so, that has to be vexing.

"What a world! What a world!

Anyway, Holder and Obama have just jumped the shark.. Obama and Holder both claiming - AS WE PREDICTED BACK IN 2009 - the reaction to the mess they have created in national and international policies is RACIST. I am not kidding.

Racist. It's not a joke on latenight comedy shows, anymore. They are REALLY pulling the non-existent race card. This is worse than Jesse Jackson's RICO tricks - this is OUR PRESIDENT, acting like some out-of-control college professor, who has discovered that his tenure is being threatened. And it IS affecting the country - surveys show that America is a divided country, racially, in a way it has not been, even under Clinton.

Obama is panicking, Holder is panicking, and Americans will suffer for it.
 

SORRY, CHARLES, BUT, NO.

(April 10, 2014) I believe that, for the first time, I completely disagree with Charles Krauthammer about something. While I still revere him as a brilliant thinker, I believe his perception of the political importance if Benghazi is faulty.

It is NOT too late, politically, and the professional liars in the Obama administration have not yet "won" the political battle on this.

FORGET, HELL!

When Lindsey Graham isn't ready to let an item go, you know his peeve is cranked and he will not let it go. That, alone, is enough to justify thinking the matter of the lies told by the Obama Administration about the death of four brave Americans is not over with - at least the TALK, if not the ACTIONS.

Now, there IS something else going on, and you are correct to suspect so. The weakness of the Republican Leadership is so pervasive, that they have neither the ability to make things right, themselves, nor the will to use their moral suasion for fear of becoming beholden to anyone else with power.

So what is the answer to getting justice done for the treachery which caused the deaths?

Justice lies in the election of conservatives and libertarians with vision. Yes, it's OK if they also happen to be Republicans or independents - just not another liar or progressive (I know, I know - what's the difference).

Those of us, who see a different future from the bleak desert of the Democrats and RINOS, where only they are kings, must cousin our anger, bide our time, and be willing to gather behind whoever is the most conservative of all the candidates. We must vote out those who only talk. We need doers, not just talkers. We need to be strict and strong.

The time for "Getting Along" is over.
 

"GAZIS" AND DIVORCE FROM FIREFOX

(April 9, 2014) Are you as turned off as I am by the bigotry shown by Mozilla to their CEO? He gave a grand to an organization which believes, as he does that marriage is between one man and one woman, and the Political Nazis of LGBT, or the "Gazis," as we like to call them, hounded the creators of Firefox until they "came to an agreement" with their CEO.

Well, I normally don't like boycotts, but this is one instance where it's a must. I have disabled Firefox and have installed Pale Moon, instead. It works on the same open platform and is totally compatible with all Firefox addons and programs such as Thunderbird (yes, it's a Mozilla program now, but it used not to be - soon enough, there will be a compatible email program using the same open platform).

Now, I wouldn't use Internet Explorer, if they paid me. Opera is limited, and Google Chrome is an invitation to have your information hacked. I don't have a Mac, so, Safari is unusable. But who need 'em when you can download Pale Moon for free.

www.palemoon.org/

Simply go to palemoon.org and follow the directions for a totally free download and easy installation. You might even send a note to Mozilla, telling them what you did - well, you could if they had a way to do it other than the tedious "fill-in-the-blank method." But even that might be worth it just to tell them to go eat a banana.

For as much as I have supported gay rights, what the Gazis have done just makes me sick, and it's time to say, "NO MORE NAZI TACTICS." I mean, heck, they don't even represent but a twentieth of the gays in America.

Free speech means tolerating even the obnoxious. The Gazis have a right to say it, but not to play these RICO games. ENOUGH!
 

UPSTATE UNHAP- PENINGS

(April 8, 2014) Usually, Columbia and Charleston are the places to get really juicy scandals. But not this week.

"How To Be A Lesbian In 10 Days" will not be presented at the USC Upstate Gay Symposium - the State funding was jerked - but the symposium will continue. The majority of students don't really care one way or the other.

Bill Clinton continues to prove what fame-hungry folks rich people are. He's sold out at the Peace Center, in Greenville.

Greenville spent $800,000 on a system of 360° 8 cameras. They failed to spot a robbery and assault in broad daylight in an area where the cameras should have seen what was going on.

Greenville's Police Chief is leaving earlier than she had said.

Toronto's Mayor Rob Ford did not show up at Cowpens. He was not scheduled to show up. Neither did Jimmy Kimmel.

Greer and Simpsonville will pass "distracted driving" laws because they can't think of any other way to restrict their citizens and prove their power over the "little people" who vote for them.

But the really big scandal didn't even happen in the Palmetto State - the all important Monday at the Masters got washed out!
 

"GREAT BATTLE NOT FOUGHT"

(April 5, 2014) I remember a reporter friend of mine telling me the legend of a reporter during WWII, who had information about a naval battle that was to take place. The information he was privilege to came from the highest authority. The only problem was that it was only one of several plans. When it did not happen, the reporter submitted and his paper printed his entire account with his headline, which read something like this: "Great Naval Battle Not Fought."

Alan Wilson declaring support for the Boland bill, last year.

One of South Carolina's fine newspapers published a story about SC Atty. Gen. Alan Wilson inferring that he was less than honest. I think it's unfair, so, I'm writing this article to say it's a misuse of newsprint.

What Alan was, was one of the fortunate ones who were able to raise a lot of cash for his campaign in 2010. Almost $43,000 more than the legal limit - a state law which is most probably unconstitutional under the recent 1st Amendment ruling. So, after a review of his funds, he paid all of the overage back - as prescribed by the law.

Alan wasn't the only one by any means to "over-fundraise," but he WAS the only one to pay it all back, some time ago, as soon as he was CERTAIN there was an overage.

Now I'm not saying this outstanding newspaper beacon-of-truth, which is releasing the story, has any editorial bent, mind you, but on the same page is a puff piece on how Lindsey Graham's campaign is squashing all his competitors - which really misses the point, that if Graham doesn't win the first primary, outright, he could easily lose the runoff. And he's not over 45% at this point.

I thought I would get these small facts out before tongues started wagging. Also, if you have ever worked in a campaign, you know that the only people who have a problem with very prosperous fundraising are the losers.
 

A LESSON FROM IRISH FOLK MUSIC

(April 4, 2014) As I watched the President brag about the non-existent millions who actually haven't signed up for Obamacare - Actual research shows that only 2 Million people have signed up, but 45 Million will eventually be without health care (numbers from Neil Cavuto, American Spectator, and David Hogberg, PhD) - the following tune kept running through my head:

The hanging of political activist Roddy McCorley - when will this start?

It's the opening verse of the Irish Republican marching song, "Roddy McCorley," about a young man who was executed by the English for being a political agitator - there is no confirming evidence that he lead the fighters at the battle of Antrim, as the legend tells. The poem written 100 years later by Ethne Carbery in the 1890's - the tune, itself is ancient.

It never fails to bring a tear, as it expresses how Irish hope for freedom was crushed time and time again, by an English government which lied to itself time and time again, leaving a legacy of hatred on both sides.

How like it the dying of America has become. "Too late, Too late are they!" America is dying now. The time to rise up and vote the Democrat tyrants out of office is now. By 2016, it may be too late. There may be too many RINOs and Democrats, already.

        "...True to the last! True to the last,
                he treads the upwards way,
        And young Roddy McCorley goes to die
                on the bridge of Toome today."

We are at the "bridge of Toome." Today.
 

OF THEORIES AND CONSPIRACIES

(April 3, 2014) I want to make sure you understand I am NOT saying that I believe the following happened. We have no reliable evidence for any theory, so far. I'm just saying that the so call "bozo theory" that the Malaysian 777 isn't so crazy.

The "Bozo Theory" is that Flight 370 passenger Philip Wood made a cell phone call of some sort, saying that he was at the US base known as "Diego Garcia" in the Indian Open.

Some people have taken this piece of information, which may or may not be true, and have extrapolated a whole bunch of ideas - some plausible, some not.

Whether any of it is true or not, two facts ARE true: 1. There is a runway at DG which is plenty long enough to land a 777 - approx. 10,200'. and 2. With the right kind of flying, a 777 can get from the now legendary turnaround point to DG.

"Diego Garcia" Map Showing the two-mile long air strips

Is it true? Are the passengers of Flight 370 at DG? We know that half the CIA belongs to Obama, and the other half doesn't. We also know that the Obama side of the CIA lies just to keep the President from being embarrassed, so why not keep mum about what they saw when the plane "disappeared."

In the end, it's just another reason not to trust the Obama administration - "the most transparent administration in history."
 

BRING IN THE TAMS

(April 1, 2014) "What kinda fool (FOOL) do you think I am?
What kinda fool (FOOL) do you think I am?"

GREAT DAY? LOOK AT THE DAMN NONEXISTENT VOLUME!!!
This is what Obama's economic toilet attendants call an on-going rally! No wonder so many naked big bankers are jumping out of high-story buildings.

"Here you come knocking on my door
when you said you don't need me anymore
Do you really think I'm crazy enough
to go throwing my good heart after bad love

What kind of fool do you think I am
I ain't falling for you over again
I ain't playing a game that I know I can't win
what kind of fool do you think I am

[ guitar riff]
I was lost in your love and I got burned
you hurt me one time I finally learned
Now that I know what your loving can do
who do you think you're talking to

What kinda fool (FOOL) do you think I am?
What kinda fool (FOOL) do you think I am?" [slow fade out]......
 

- Dick Anderson.
