Will the efforts of Ron Paul supporters finally pay off?

From Charleston Examiner.com

Back in 2007 and 2008, Ron Paul supporters made a big splash in the lowcountry. They had the most fanatical volunteers, and the largest rallies of any presidential candidate in the region.

They put up the most yard signs by far. In fact the number of Ron Paul yard signs may have exceeded the total number of yard signs for every other Republican presidential candidate combined.

The night before the last presidential primary, they held a rally in downtown Charleston which dramatically exceeded that of any other candidate. However the next day was devastating. Paul’s percentage of the vote was very small combined to size of his campaign.

While John McCain had run a far smaller campaign, the media had propelled him to victory.

Now, Ron Paul supporters hope that the groundwork laid four years ago will pay off now. Many can be seen still sporting aging Ron Paul 2008 bumper stickers on their cars. They have been ceaselessly extolling Ron Paul’s virtues to anyone who will listen for the past few years.

 

 

 

Conservatives rally around Andre Bauer.

Andre Bauer, Lt. Governor of South Carolina, won the praise of conservatives and the most vicious hatred of the left by comparing welfare to feeding stray animals.

“My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed! You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don’t think too much further than that.” – Lt. Governor Andre Bauer

The AP and others have published far-left editorials as “news items” calling Bauer every name in the book. Meanwhile, local news outlets in South Carolina are being flooded with online comments praising Bauer for the comment.

Charleston Tea Party a major victory for Conservatives.

20 South Carolina State Senators sponsor state sovereignty bill.

On February 12th, a bill was introduced into the South Carolina State Senate to defend state sovereignty under the 10th Amendment. A concurrent resolution was also introduced in the House. The resolution is doing quite well with 20 sponsors in the Senate and 21 sponsors in the House.

Full Text

TO AFFIRM SOUTH CAROLINA’S SOVEREIGNTY UNDER THE TENTH AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION OVER ALL POWERS NOT ENUMERATED AND GRANTED TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BY THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

Whereas, the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”; and

Whereas, the Tenth Amendment defines the limited scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the United States Constitution; and

Whereas, the limited scope of authority defined by the Tenth Amendment means that the federal government was created by the states specifically to be an agent of the states; and

Whereas, currently the states are treated as agents of the federal government; and

Whereas, many federal mandates are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution; and

Whereas, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, claims for the State of South Carolina sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution.

Be it further resolved that all governmental agencies, quasi-governmental agencies, and their agents and employees operating within the geographic boundaries of the State of South Carolina, or all governmental agencies and their agents and employees, whose actions have effect on the inhabitants or lands or waters of the State of South Carolina, shall operate within the confines of the original intent of the Constitution of the United States or be subject to penalty of law as provided for now or in the future, within the Constitution of South Carolina, the South Carolina statutes, or the common law as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.

Be it further resolved that this resolution serves as notice and demand to the federal government, as South Carolina’s agent, to cease and desist immediately all mandates that are beyond the scope of the federal government’s constitutionally delegated powers.

Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and each member of South Carolina’s Congressional Delegation, all at Washington, D.C., and to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate of the legislatures of the other forty-nine states.

America begins dark chapter for Freedom and Liberty.

Fly the flags on freedom in this dark hour.

America is entering it’s darkest hour in a long time. Conservatives must keep the flame of liberty and freedom alive.

Several Internet forums have been talking about flying the Gadsden flag in front of their homes if Obama wins. This flag is especially appropriate in South Carolina.

The flag was designed by native Charlestonian Christopher Gadsden. He was a Brigadier General in the Continental army, and a Lt. Governor of South Carolina. He used his personnel fortune to pay for fortifications at Sullivan’s Island in the Charleston harbor. He presented the Continental Congress with the flags at the right, which now bears his name.

SPLC Spews Out Another “Intelligence Report”

America’s most financially successful “anti-racists” at the Southern Poverty Law Center have dished out another “Intelligence Report.” You know, that magazine they give away for free, because no one would actually pay for it.

With Klansmen and Skinheads waning, the SPLC is desperate for new targets for fundraising letters. They recently designated YAF, the benign conservative mainstay on college campuses Young Americans For Freedom, as a “hate groups.”

We now learn in this issue who the “extremists” are. The John Birch Society, the Constitution Party, NORFED, the Ohio Defense Force, the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, the Minuteman Project, Save Our State, and many others.
