but wouldn't you know it,numerous serpents are ruining it. Below a report on last night's county council meeting. Cindy Wilson, the noble Cassandra of the piece, was on the talk show again this morning telling us about her long-running ordeal as county council member. She has to sue the county on her own time and money (to get vital information routinely denied to council members) while high-dollar attorneys are paid from county coffers to defend the county and its thoroughly evil Administrator, Joey Preston.


This jerk is paid $165,000 per year, is provided with health coverage to the max and a luxury car. $5,000 is paid into his retirement fund by the County every MONTH. These are just some of the perks Preston enjoys—I assure you, Al Capone never had it this good. Such spending has meant some people's property taxes were QUADRUPLED or worse in a single recent year. Somebody I know was behind Preston at the counter in a local restuarant and says his fat wallet contains the most sumptuous collection of credit cards anywhere.


Gracie Floyd is the negro wife of the former council chairman, also black, who reputedly died in the arms of his mistress. She replaced him as chair, elected in a sympathy vote amid numerous illegalities. A liberal to the core, she is most fittingly also a school principal—30 or 45minutes away in Abbeville County.


Bob Waldrep is a serpent of a snake—a socialist lawyer who as legislator voted to remove the Confedeate flag from the capitol dome.


I don't know why I'm reporting this, except (1) it shows a bona fide Clinton administration at work in a small-town situation, and (2) you go to a pub to have a cold one (which I'm doing now—non-alcoholic) and tell people your problems. (continued below article text)
<H1>Sparks fly at Anderson County Council meeting</H1>
ANDERSON COUNTY — A powder keg of emotions exploded Tuesday night inside the historic Anderson County Courthouse as residents, local mayors and council members sparred verbally over the course of a five hour Anderson County Council meeting.
<DIV ="text">


On a night when accusations and insults flew, there were rounds of applause and shouts from the crowd. There also were disruptions, which eventually led to several residents being escorted from the courthouse.


The political fireworks were sparked by Council members Michael Thompson, Larry Greer, Bill McAbee and Gracie Floyd’s decision to vote against all but one of Ms. Wilson’s discretionary spending requests at the July 17 council meeting.


Requests from the towns of Williamston, Pelzer and Honea Path along with the Cheddar Youth Center, Carolina Community Center and a 4-H Club were defeated.


The move was believed to be an act of political retaliation for anonymous letters the council members received last year. The letters are related to the recent harassment investigation involving County Administrator Joey Preston and county council members.


Council member Michael Thompson turned up the intensity of the emotionally-charged gathering when he responded to criticism from the mayors of Williamston and Honea Path who criticized the council for, in effect, punishing their residents. Separate $5,000 requests from the towns would have been used for recreational purposes.


Williamston Mayor Phillip Clardy said he took it personally when the council decided to use taxpayer dollars as a tool against other council members.


“People want to know why you are questioning this and more importantly your motives,” Mayor Clardy said.


Honea Path Mayor Earl Meyers elicited applause when he told the council to keep the town’s request, which would have been used for a new softball field, and spend it on a course in courtesy, manners and humility.


“I have never seen as much hate as we have here we have a government of dirty tricks and revenge,” Mr. Meyers said.


Mr. Thompson apparently came prepared to make a presentation.


The lights dimmed and a screen lowered immediately after his request for a rebuttal was granted by a council vote.


During his presentation, Mr. Thompson accused the Anderson County Taxpayers Association of fostering a “frenzied” atmosphere that generated the letters. He also pointed the finger at Ms. Wilson.


Mr. Thompson, who displayed a copy of a letter he received, noted that every council member, including former members Fred Tolly and Bill Dees, had received the harassing letters except Ms. Wilson.


“It is my firm belief that based on their actions on the radio, before this council and relationship with Ms. Wilson the ACTA (Taxpayers Association) is behind this,” he said. “This is an attempt (by the association) to demean, downgrade and name call.”


Dan Harvell, chairman of the Taxpayers Association, immediately shot up and said, “I would like to say you are out your mind.” Some members of the crowd groaned as well.


Ms. Wilson denied that she was behind the harassing letters and claimed she received several anonymous letters in the fall of 2005, which she did not deem to be threatening.


“You are accusing me of sending these vulgar nasty letters,” she said to some applause. “I don’t talk or write that way. If you’re accusing me of all these things, you must be prepared to back these up. This is defamation of character and slander.”


Council Chairman Bob Waldrep cautioned the council not to make assumptions about the letters and who might be connected to them. He also urged the council to examine their motives and put their differences aside for the good of the county.


“I hate to think the council would be destroyed by an assumption,” Mr. Waldrep said. “They are a dangerous thing. People need to think deeply before reaching a decision.”


Mr. Waldrep even directed some of his remarks to the administration.


“Mr. Preston, no one is totally innocent of the problems we have in this county,” he said.


Council member Ron Wilson took it one step further, calling Mr. Thompson’s accusations “utterly ridiculous.”


“He doesn’t have any proof who wrote them,” he said. “If Mr. Thompson can’t take the heat, he needs to get out of the kitchen.”


In explaining his previous vote, Mr. Greer said it was not his intent to deprive the residents of Ms. Wilson’s district but an effort to put an end to the negative atmosphere she has perpetuated over the years.


“If you question my vote on an issue and say it was childish and disgusting where was your righteous indignation when she cast aspersion on my character? All I did was vote no on an issue,” Mr. Greer said.


And the council continued to play shell games with its discretionary spending accounts.


Later in the meeting, Mr. Thompson proposed taking money out of Ms. Wilson’s account to fund several requests he opposed at the July 17 meeting, including a $5,000 request to the Cheddar Youth Center.


Ms. Wilson had actually appropriated $4,000 for the request.


“I really think this is not a very cute thing to be taking it out of an account that is not theirs and making more money,” she said. “I should be making my own appropriations.


All of Ms. Wilson’s spending requests were approved this time, but none of them passed unanimously as Mr. Thompson, Mr. McAbee, Ms. Floyd abstained.</DIV>


The bad news is very bad, but the good news is incredible. Meant to tell you that the Greenville County (SC) GOP has censured onbnoxious mama's boy Sen. Lindsey Graham and called for him to be stricken from the rolls as a Republican because of his abuse of his constituents over his fostering of the amnesty (or Grahamnesty) bill.

says part of the meeting in question appears in Youtube; I can't find it there but my search results look pretty interesting:

It's hoped that other county GOPs will follow suit. The Beltram character mentioned in the GreenvilleOnline link above is of course the one who said his GOP unit would have nothing to do with Ron Paul when he came to town a month ago [img]smileys/smiley7.gif[/img]but was forced to recant. [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]


Dig the coverage this little maneuver made!

TO FREE TIMES (weekly newspaper in SC capitol city)


I was in Columbia to picket John McCain on the the 13th, and was quite surprised to find you'd made yourselves a clone of the State "newspaper" for at least the Aug. 8 issue, which was in fact a lachrymose ode on the slow, exquisite death of that notorious hate sheet. A weekly paper mourning the demise of the big, high-dollar, establishment daily in the same city? Talk about "man bites dog." I'm copying this to News of the Weird!
<X-TAB></X-TAB>Of course, you're every bit as liberal as the Statesters if not more so, but you're supposed to be a feisty, down-and-dirty paper, not a dewy-cheeked, elegiacal one. Missing from your lament was the obvious fact that Big Media's very elitism and flat-earth leftism is what's killing it. Who in their right mind wants to pay money to be told that everything they believe in is garbage and that only bureaucrats, self-appointed pundits and utopian schemers know the real meaning of life?
<X-TAB></X-TAB>I've often read you when in town to see the other side of the moon (and read Michael Graham, the closest thing you've come to true grassroots content). I wasn't ready for your prostration before your main competitor, Big Corporate Media, Columbia-style. Strains of Brahms' "Song of Destiny" were weirdly mingling in the air with "I can't get no Satisfaction"!
<X-TAB></X-TAB>From that point, of course you were off in a flash in promotion of hideous, meaningless "art" (page 30), "Stiletto Gentlemen's Club/Ms Nude 2005" (58), various opportunities to get drunk and shack up with strangers, and your other usual things.
<X-TAB></X-TAB>Sheer poetry!

Globalist butterfly emerges from Carolina cocoon

The Wikipedia article on David Wilkins, ex-speaker of the SC house of RAPresentatives, quotes him on his pivotal role in the Confederate flag betrayal. For anyone interested, it shows that he was not merely pushed into it:

"This is a defining moment in our state's history. Future generations will judge us by what we do -- or fail to do -- at this pivotal moment. Our decision is that important. This is not about winning or losing. Nor is it about a Republican solution or a Democratic solution. It's about the right solution. It's not about fixing the blame for the past. It's about fixing the problem at hand. This is an emotional issue for all of us. I've been threatened. My wife has been threatened. I will not be bullied anymore!"

I seriously doubt anybody was threatened, and if so, he has to be aware that 90% of political threats are meaningless. He had said he felt it necessary to press on with the betrayal because his office had been picketed. To thank him for his "bravery" against the well-known wishes of his constituents, mycrowd picketed his law office in Greenville very noisily every Friday for a year afterward. We know this gave him and his law partner extreme frustration; they even bought a folding wooden screen to pull across the picket window across the front of the ground floor (his waiting room) every Friday at 10.

Emperor W rewarded him by sending him as ambassador to Canada, approximately half as far northward as he belongs. I like to think this was partly because we'd impacted his cash flow, i.e. that we helped kick him up there.

Steve Lefemine of Columbia Citizens for Life has just sent this link and comment, exposing Wilkins as a rank globalist. Sheer poetry, Davy boy!

Bush-buddy David Wilkins on the record for "Continental integration"

Wilkins goes on the record that SPP is not about advancing the globalist agenda for the NAU.

David Wilkins in his article below:

"While conspiracy theories abound, you can take it to the bank that no one involved in these discussions is interested in, or has ever proposed, a "North American Union," a "North American super highway," or a "North American currency."

I guess Howard Phillips, WND, Jerome Corsi and everyone else that sees the Gloablists' goal of transforming North America into a North American Union (like the European Union already in existence, with attempts already to pass a European Union Constitution !) are wrong, and Bush-buddy, Bush-hand-picked-appointee US Ambassador to Canada (former SC Speaker of the House, former SC State Representative from 'Bible-belt' 'Bob Jones country Upstate SC' Greenville, SC) David Wilkins, must be right.

I don't think so. (I wonder if we'll see David Wilkins' name pop up on a future CFR list?)

TO SOUTHERN PARTISAN MAGAZINE


Gentlemen:
<X-TAB></X-TAB>Kudos on your "Lincoln exposé" issue XXVI/2. It's certainly one of the strongest I've read since first discovering SP most of its XXVI years ago. You're focusing much more on real partisanship and commenting more germanely on the bizarre world we live in today.
<X-TAB></X-TAB>Thanks for those "red rag" lines from Sgt. Barry Benson, CSA. SP has tons more heart than other magazines (even Southern or conservative ones) when it wants to! More specifics, pro and not so pro:
* Falwell tribute: Jerry was a total sellout for most of the last 15 years -- but Tom DiLorenzo's article "The Dictator's Favorite President" five pages later makes up for this inclusion 10 times over.
* the Bush ranch in Texas: Neocon Emperor Arbusto is today's Lincoln. Surely something active for our agenda could have taken up this space?
* your phrase "Native Americans": Again, speaking purely tactically and collegially, I feel it's ill-advised. They're actually native Asians who are no less immigrants than anybody else, and much evidence shows the celts were here in huge numbers before them (see Barry Fell's America BC et al). Surely this phrase was designed as a weapon against European-Americans. (Yes, I think some "hyphenated American" designations are quite valid.)
* article on the C.S.S. Alabama: absolutely first-rate, really inspiring and exciting.
* Asay cartoons: they, like much of the rest of the allegedly conservative realm, went crazy with neocon mania on 9/11. You use some that are fine and some that are clearly driven by this insane, Constitution-trampling passion. Why not drop Mr. Asay until he's a consistent conservative once again? Admittedly, it appears he's planning to go to his grave spouting "war on terror" cant (36).
* The CSA Today section is jam-packed, putting SP firmly in the category of newsmagazines.
<X-TAB></X-TAB>Permanently, I hope.

My cousin and his wife are proud to have bought an environmentally-friendly car called the Xebra. I commended them, then looked it up:

I do applaud their intentions, but thedescription abovesort of reminds me of........

[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

Gracy Floyd! Bob Waldrep! More Pinks running an American town? Sounds so familiar. I FEEL your pain, Nelson! Having a "City Council" chock full of Afro-bigots and Lefty Pink Weasels is a familiar refrain. I would expect it here in the Peoples Republic of Maryland, but it's more shocking in South Carolina, vertiably in the Shadow of Fort Sumter. Don't you wish you could treat the bottom of the Cooper River to a permanent visit from these Socialist political criminals?


And the Colorado Springs Gazette pays high bounties for the Neo-Con diatribes of the cartoonist Mr. Asay. He wrote anti-Clinton, anti-Socialist panels twelve years ago, but since Georgie Porgie arrived, he's a Neo-Con Phony-Con all the way. He and Mallard Fillmore's writer have been huge disappointments.


Hang in there, Nelson!

[Nelson]

For sure. I took it up with both of them directly, but got nowhere. Asay has to be a chosenite but mentioned a Sunday school class he teaches. Tinsley made the flimsiest excuses for (e.g.) his French-bashing over the war. Really, he was the greatest hope ever in cartooning. I corresponded with him considerably and never in my wildest dreams imagined he would sell out. If nothing else, couldn't he just have ignored the war?


I quit writing and reading him when Porgie seized power—suspect the strip is about back to normal, but for whatever reason it wasn't up when I went to review it the other day. The strip was perfect, it was almsot one of my reasons for living, but somehow I don't really give a rip about it today.[img]smileys/smiley6.gif[/img]
