Faith, Hope, and the Courtship of South Carolina
2008-07-11 15:07:00
South Carolina hasn't voted for a Democrat for president since Jimmy Carter. According to Linda Hansen, the voters in the "Palmetto State" have been no use to "liberal" candidates after primary season:"Truth to tell, we South Carolinians have been jilted before we got to the altar so many times we don't bother with trousseau shoppin' any more. We've lost faith. Abandoned hope. The Dems gave up on us long ago and the GOP knows we can be had, cheap."Come senators, congressmenPlease heed the callDon't stand in the doorwayDon't block up the hall...The times? They are a-changing: In the summer of 2007 Senator Barack Obama promised the people of South Carolina he'd work for them if they'd have him. Obama's keeping his promise, which reflects his fifty state strategy. Ms. Hansen compares the state of the McCain & Obama campaigns, and while the polls suggest that McCain has the traditional lead, the mood on the ground is - evidently - not indicative of a Republican lock on the ...

The country of South Carolina?
2008-04-15 02:47:00
SOMEBODY FORGOT TO TELL ME WE SECEDED AGAIN I’m not sure where the above video was shot — pardon the pun — but I wouldn’t be too surprised if it turned out to be the base of operations for Charles Edward Atwell, an Easley resident who told a federal judge Friday that he didn?t have to pay more than $2 million in back taxes because he is a citizen of the ?country of South Carolina,? not the United States. Take a guess how the judge responded… Atwell was sentenced to the maximum of four years and three months in prison by U.S. District Judge Henry Herlong. Herlong had asked Atwell where he was a citizen. ?Right here, the country of South Carolina,? Atwell said. ?That?s not a country,? Herlong said. ?It?s a state.? [The State] So either Atwell hopes to raise an army of machine-gun-wielding children and grenade launching, cannon blasting grown ups like in the clip above (another lame pun?) to re-secede from the Union, or like the people of the Iraq, he does...

Air Products demonstrates mobile hydrogen fueling station in South Carolina
2008-03-25 21:13:00
A 2005 press image from Air Products."Mobile hydrogen fueling technology." Sound like something you want? Air Products thinks so, and kicked off the company's latest demonstration of its mobile refueling system, this time in Aiken County, South Carolina. Air Products' announcement explains that there is one mobile fueler supplying 5,000 psi (350 bar) hydrogen for one hydrogen ICE truck. Everyone who is opposed to the wastefulness of hydrogen vehicles probably won't be too keen on that. Aiken County officials, like Fred Humes, director of the Aiken County Economic Development Partnership, are gushing about the technology, though. Humes said in a statement that, "By working with Air Products, we have access to the latest in vehicle fueling equipment and a reliable supply of hydrogen. The project team will provide tangible and visible proof that the use of hydrogen as a replacement for gasoline is feasible, safe and reliable." Air Products recently announced a plan to bring ten hydr...

South Carolina churches to allow gambling ?
2008-02-18 15:41:00
 Yes you have read the title correctly . Gambling for charity in churches would become legal here in South Carolina, my home state, under a bill that has been approved by the State Senate.  I say fine and dandy myself, they been playing bingo games to raise money for ages and I don't really see much of a difference. This new legislation would let churches and other nonprofit groups host card games along with other casino games to raise money.  The bill will exempt them from South Carolina's 200-year-old law that prohibits dice and card games.  Churches here have always preached against gambling, but I'll wager to say that they will be holding weekly games if the Governor passes this bill.  I can almost imagine going down to the church to play some Texas Holdem or some  BlackJack...on second thought, I don't think I can. lolI don't think the poker bill will have much luck of passing when and if it reaches Governor Mark Sanford's desk myself .&...

South Carolina: The Thawing State
2008-02-15 19:51:00
The South Carolina Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism will be launching a four-week ?guerrilla marketing blitz? next week (whatever the hell that is) aimed at frosty Northerners. Called “Time to Thaw,” the campaign aims to lure “frozen, windburnt Chicagoans looking for a warm winter escape” to the Palmetto State. Those who don’t book a flight to South Carolina will have to endure a month of ridicule. The effort includes: 360-degree elevator wraps ?that literally put passengers inside South Carolina locations?; phone kiosks in which the handsets have been refitted with conch shells; and a wall of hand dryers in the Grant Park North lobby that read, ?Press button for warm South Carolina breezes.? There?s actually more, but why go on? It?s already too awful for words. When the wind chill hits 20 below and the trains won?t run because the tracks are caked with ice, more than a few Chicagoans might be tempted to make use of those beach-motif phone...

Old History - Old Fort Dochester, SC
2008-02-13 17:40:00
Dorchester County?s history dates back to 1696, when Dorchester was settled by two distinct groups that set sail from England. The Puritans came seeking religious freedom and the Anglicans came with the crown?s blessing to seek land and wealth. The Puritans arrived in 1696 from Dorchester, Massachusetts, and were responsible for the name of the town, the fort and eventually the county. The Anglicans had been around for some 20 years when the Puritans arrived but St. George?s, Dorchester was not built until 1719. Together, the Anglicans and the Puritans built Dorchester into the third largest town in the state and an important shipping center for rice planters sending their goods down the Ashley River to Charleston. The tabby fort built of mud, oyster shells and limestone, now known as Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site, was constructed prior to the Revolutionary War and was used to defend the area. Such famous generals as Moultrie, Francis Marion and Wade Hampton held off the...

Differences matter: Why South Carolina Republicans will be successful in 20
2008-02-10 14:00:00
It has truly been an honor to serve as Chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party for the last six years. We have held steadfast to time-honored ideals, and we have worked tirelessly to elect leaders who have used these ideals as positive governing principles. The South Carolina Republican Party has been successful ? and will be even more successful this year ? because we are unabashedly conservative. Our Party platform starkly contrasts the platform of the South Carolina Democrat Party on every issue that is important to the voters in our state. We have unapologetically defended the traditional values our country was founded on. We have affirmed our state Party platform?s unequivocal position that life is the first inalienable right, and all human life, born and unborn, has intrinsic worth. We ?believe that the unborn and the newborn child have a fundamental right to life which must not be infringed.? (Page 6, SCGOP Platform) By contrast, Democrats passed a resolution su...
