Anymore, just watching the morning news is almost more than one can stand. This morning was especially troubling:
NEWS STORY ONE:
In a news conference yesterday, the president, in answer to a question regarding whistle blowers on the Benghazi issues being threatened, said he knew nothing about it. Meanwhile, the State Department said they had received no requests from any attorneys for clearance to review documents for any whistle blowers. On the split screen was an attorney for a whistle blower with copies of two requests submitted two weeks ago. Not the agency nor the president have the character to even be embarrassed at being caught in this lie.
NEWS STORY TWO:
The Obama administration has almost finalized their plans to provide lethal arms to the rebels fighting in Syria. Knowledgeable sources say these rebels are Hamas. What???????
NEWS STORY THREE:
In the government schools, there must be a doctor's statement provided by the student's parents on file for even a senior in high school to get two aspirin for a headache. BUT, now the FDA has decided it's a good idea for PLAN B, the morning after abortion pill, to be sold over the counter to girls as young as 15. This medication will be provided without the control and over site of either the parents or a doctor. Considering the potential negative side effects of this medication, we wonder how many little girls will have to end up on a steel table in the morgue before someone decides this is a bad idea?
NEWS STORY FOUR:
It turns out the Boston bombers' family has been receiving every government handout on the books since they arrived in this country 10 years ago. They received over $100,000 in Section 8 housing allowances alone. Along with this, they got food stamps, welfare, school grants, scholarships and other government giveaways. Oh great, we are now state sponsoring terrorism.
How much further down the drain can this country go?

WHO'S LEFT HOLDING THE "BAG"?
It would appear the poison pen campaign against Council's choice for Clerk of Council has failed miserably. Council's choice has been installed. DD is suspiciously quiet and, judging from his history, that's never a good thing. His counter move remains to be seen. But rest assured, there will be a counter move.

PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES
As we are want to do, Grits Eggs and Politics would like to issue a community service announcement.
"The issuance of defamatory statements in written form constitutes LIBEL, not slander."
While it is more than understandable that any employee working at any job would strive to ingratiate themselves to their boss and re-enforce their job security, generally speaking, it would always be unwise, not to mention reckless, for anyone to perform a duty that would expose their soft underbelly to jeopardy, especially legal jeopardy.
By some strange coincidence, we have come into possession of a group of libelous letters written about County Council's choice for Clerk of Council. Contained in these letters are statements that Council's choice is "unqualified", "discriminatory", "unethical" and a general waste of taxpayers' money, among other defamatory statements.
Have no fear, BC Taxpayers, we have made sure these defamatory documents have been sent to the appropriate legal council. Those in BC who are so worried about libel, slander, and defamation can rest assured the perpetrators will be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law.

TAXPAYER ALERT
Until January 2013, Supervisor Davis was as happy as a pig in slop. He enjoyed a 4/4 vote split on County Council with himself casting the tie breaking vote on every controversial issue. In other words, he unilaterally controlled Berkeley County. He could spend money as he pleased; borrow more money as he pleased; and successfully hide the details of his nefarious schemes from the 4 Conservatives on Council.
With the election of a 5th Conservative Councilman last November, the dynamic shifted. Now the Conservatives had control over the vote and the Supervisor realized this resulted in his perfect little sand box being filled with land mines. He HAD to do something to mitigate the damage. True to form, he and his trusty legal staff came up with a plan. They focused on the only remaining opportunity to exert any control, the Clerk of Council's office. If the Supervisor could only gain control over the meeting agendas, he might be able to pull this disaster out of the fire.
Prior to retirement in June 2011, the 14 year veteran Clerk of Council trained a replacement. In total, this replacement has 9 years experience in the Clerk's office, which includes a year and a half as interim Clerk. This replacement is the ONLY member of the Clerk's office who has the experience, training, and expertise to head the office. However, this replacement has a serious deficit which renders her unacceptable to the Supervisor; she is an honest professional who realizes she is legally working for and answerable to County Council and NOT the Supervisor.
Shortly after the 5th Conservative vote came on Council, this Clerk of Council replacement developed a medical problem that required attention. She took a short medical leave, FMLA. While she was absent, the Supervisor illegally replaced her. When she returned to work, she was informed that she had not only been replaced but her pay grade and position had been reduced. It boggles the mind to consider how many labor laws these actions violate.
When the 5 Conservatives learned of these actions, they responded. The Vice Chairmen of County Council notified the Clerk's office that he wanted certain items that would correct this blatant violation of the law added to his agenda and that of the regular Council meeting. The Supervisor, in turn, instructed the Clerk's office to REMOVE these items from the regular Council meeting agenda . How many laws did this action violate?
There has not been much publicity about the Supervisor's behavior at that Council meeting. At that meeting, when the Vice Chairman learned that his items had been removed from the agenda, the Supervisor initially said he didn't know how the items came to be removed. It was only after a member of the Clerk's office admitted the Supervisor instructed her to remove them that the Supervisor admitted his actions. From where we come from, that's called a lie.
State law, Home Rule, and County Ordinance clearly state the powers of County Council:
SECTION 4‑9‑110. Council shall select chairman and other officers; terms of office; appointment of clerk; frequency and conduct of meetings; minutes of proceedings.

State law, Home Rule, and County Ordinance clearly state the powers of County Council:
SECTION 4‑9‑110. Council shall select chairman and other officers; terms of office; appointment of clerk; frequency and conduct of meetings; minutes of proceedings.
The council shall select one of its members as chairman, except where the chairman is elected as a separate office, one as vice‑chairman and such other officers as are deemed necessary for such terms as the council shall determine, unless otherwise provided for in the form of government adopted. The council shall appoint a clerk to record its proceedings and perform such additional duties as the council may prescribe. The council after public notice shall meet at least once each month but may meet more frequently in accordance with a schedule prescribed by the council and made public. All meetings shall be conducted in accordance with the general law of the State of South Carolina affecting meetings of public bodies. Special meetings may be called by the chairman or a majority of the members after twenty‑four hours' notice.
The council shall determine its own rules and order of business. It shall keep a journal in which shall be recorded the minutes of its proceedings which shall be open to public inspection.
If County Council has the authority to select, appoint, or hire a Clerk of Council, and they do, then they, also, have the authority to select, appoint, or hire the people who assistant the Clerk of Council. County Council should and do have complete control of the Clerk of Council's office. This office is for the support of 8 elected officials. The Supervisor has exceeded his authority by interfering in the Clerk's office. No one would think it proper if the Supervisor interfered in such a manner with the Sheriff's office and support staff or the Clerk of Court's office and support staff.
The Supervisor is using the following to support his actions:
SECTION 4‑9‑430. Powers of council and its members; authority of supervisor over certain elected officials.
The council shall not remove any county administrative officers or employees whom the county supervisor or any of his subordinates are empowered to appoint, unless by two‑thirds vote of the members present and voting.
Except for the purposes of inquiries and official investigations, neither the council nor its members shall give direct orders to any county officer or employee, either publicly or privately.
With the exception of organizational policies established by the governing body, the county supervisor shall exercise no authority over any elected officials of the county whose offices were created either by the Constitution or by general law of the State.
This section refers to those employees who fall under the control of the Supervisor's office and administration, NOT the folks under the control of other elected officials. In the Post & Courier today the Supervisor said he had no influence over the offices of "elected officials". How in the Sam Hill does the Supervisor think the Councilmen achieved their positions, by Royal decree? These 8 ARE elected officials and the Clerk's office is theirs not the Supervisor's.
Prior to this situation, few of the controversies created by the Supervisor attained widespread publicity. Generally speaking, very few taxpayers were aware of his activities, whether legal or questionable. Only a small group of diehard Conservative watchdogs knew about and cringed at his antics. But, as more and more taxpayers are negatively impacted by his policies, the media seems to have awakened from their long sleep and are taking notice.
We would strongly suggest that all concerned taxpayers attend the Monday night Council meeting and observe the Supervisor's actions. He is bound to come up with some equally ridiculous points to try to derail the efforts of the 5 Conservatives to rectify this outrageous/illegal situation. We are sitting on the edge of our chair in anticipation.

WOULDN'T THAT BE SPECIAL
There's a new tax proposal coming from the Left: 3.6% annual tax on assets......not income, but ASSETS.

A LIFELONG DREAM FULFILLED
We are happy and proud to announce that our childhood dream of being married to a "wealthy" man has come true. It is so exciting to anticipate the life of sumptuous ease; European vacations, summer homes, fabulous cars, what the heck, a chauffeur, maids, and more.
For the last couple of years, Barry has preached that his economic plan would only raise taxes on the "wealthy". He swore the middle class taxpayers would NOT be affected. As of January 1, 2013, our breadwinner learned that his taxes have gone up on average by 8%, which means our disposable income has been reduced by 8%, on average. Being as the "wealthy" was to be the only group to suffer this extra burden, we have to conclude that we have become "wealthy".
We are, also, confused. We always thought that when one becomes "wealthy", one has MORE disposable income, not less. After a lifetime of aspiring to reach the level of being "wealthy", we must admit the result is a bit anti-climactic, not to speak of disappointing.
Now, we have learned that we are going to become even "wealthier" during 2013 as there will be a dozen or so new taxes connected to Obamacare imposed upon us. Don't think we are ungrateful for our blessing but, quite frankly, if we become much "wealthier", our household budget is going to be forced to revert back to the Ramen noodle days.

THE LIBERAL, PROGRESSIVE MINDSET
As if anyone really needs an explanation of the Liberal mindset, it can be found in the Post and Courier articles, "Forgotten South Carolina". The first tome enumerates the historical failings of the SC education system and points out the fact that SC has definable groups of "haves" and "have-nots". Predictably, the author places the blame for these statistics at the doorstep of "taxes are too low" and "there's a lack of a sufficient number of government programs" to fix SC's problems.
If anything, Liberal are predictable. For some strange reason, they all think any problem can be fixed if only they could throw enough money at it. They commiserate the failure of the last "program" due to the lack of yet another expanded government effort funded by increased taxes. Each generation of Liberals is convinced their failed retread will succeed if only they can squeeze more money out of the producers to apply to these programs.
Also, it is beneficial to Liberals to hold and preach a very degrading opinion of people in general. Liberals are convinced that no one, except of course those few greedy rich people, can succeed without government assistance. In their opinion, the rest of us, both black and white, aren't smart enough, ambitious enough, or clever enough to do anything on our own initiative. This erroneous "fact" is woven into the fabric of the Liberal mantra.
According to the Liberal philosophy, most of us are incapable of feeding ourselves, housing ourselves, or even making our own decisions. We can't compete in the work force or in the schools unless the benevolent Liberals provide us with a handicap. We "deserve" to be "kept" as no more than pets of Uncle Sam. Unfortunately, after three generations of this indoctrination, accompanied by the financial rewards and lack of expectations, the Liberals have a lot of people convinced of this lie. As a result, the United States now has 46%+ of its population on some version of unearned government assistance. This number is in addition to those receiving earned retirement such as Social Security and government pensions into which producers have contributed during their work years.
In order to support this Liberal philosophy, one must totally ignore the history of the United States, which is inundated with examples of people going from rags to riches, from the bottom to the top. Many of the "greedy rich people" criticized by the Liberals today started out somewhere in their lineage with their asses in their hands. These innumerable examples range from Abe Lincoln to Tim Scott. But, Liberals want the actual facts left out of the conversation. The facts invalidate their theory that the infusion of confiscated money (redistribution) is the only answer. No matter how many years pass or how many times Liberals repeat their failed endeavors, they will never abandon this flawed theory.
The producers, on the other hand, hold to a diametrically opposed philosophy. This group, composed of mainly Conservatives or other like minded individuals, cringe at the "handout" theory. Their values are simple: "Get out of my way and let me do it for myself." These producers embrace the true meaning of the term "American Dream".
When actual facts are taken into consideration, it is impossible for us to find an upside to the Progressive philosophy. Just for the sake of argument, let's look at the most recent wide spread disaster to befall the low country, Hurricane Hugo. Anyone who lived in this area in 1989 remembers it well. Let's examine what happened in the different areas and how the residents of these areas reacted.
After the storm left the coast and aimed its wrath at the inland areas, the power was off; the water was off; the roads were blocked with debris; the grocery stores were closed; banks and ATMs were closed; the gas stations were closed; all TV stations were off the air and all but one radio station was off the air. To put it simply, life as we knew it had ceased to exist.
As day broke the morning after the storm, the first sign of life other than our own was the sound of one of our neighbor picking his way from his house to ours on his farm tractor. Another neighbor was riding shotgun. Two other neighbors were walking through the fallen trees that covered the highway to our house. This group of men and women had a meeting on what was left of our front porch to take a cursory inventory of what supplies were available in each household. It was decided the most important task was to plan how we could start to clear the roadways for emergency vehicles.
Over the next two days, these men and women, with the help of the farm tractor, cleared a path down highway 59 from highway 311 to highway 176. Admittedly, sometimes the path went through people's yards or through the wooded areas, but a drivable path was created. Another group started from the old fire tower at Cross and cleared one lane on Highway 311 from Highway 6 to Highway 59. Several first responders later voiced their appreciation for the efforts.
All the folks in our community had prepared for the disaster in one way or the other. Most had laid in emergency supplies, food, water, batteries, and gas for the cars. Even so, we cooperated and helped each other. During this crises, one neighbor who had a way to cook, shared hot food with the others. One neighbor who had a generator to pump water shared with the others. Some who had freezers full of food contributed that food to the community dinners. We didn't wait for "the government" to see to our needs.
One the other hand, in the densely populated areas, Charleston and North Charleston, folks were lining up to demand that something be done to help them. In Charleston, these groups came to near riot when their needs were not met as quickly as they thought was reasonable. None ever asked what they could do to help alleviate the problem. None of these complainers organized work groups to help clear the streets. None of these dependents even offered to help distribute what supplies were available. The mindset seemed to be "take care of me without any effort on my part".
Even some communities near to us seemed to hold the same opinion. On the third day after the storm, a delegation from one of these communities came to our house lamenting that they couldn't get a response from the aid office in Moncks Corner. They complained that they had no food or water and they asked if we would intervene on their behalf. When we suggested they bring containers to get water from our neighbor's well, we were told they preferred to get the bottled water like they heard about on the radio. (It is important to note that these same people sat on their front porches watching and never offered to help as our group cleared THEIR road.)
Why can't the Progressives see that their entitlement philosophy has created a self devouring monster. We can see why they would think it is beneficial in the short term to play Santa Clause and give "stuff" to the masses in order to perpetuate temporary power. BUT, why can't they see the long term damage that is being done to our country? At this point, almost half of our population, black and white, young and old, thinks God lives in the mailbox. They have never had to work for anything. Uncle Sam gives them food, clothing, housing, education, medical care, and, now, even luxuries like cell phones. They don't have a clue as to the meaning of self reliance or self respect. They have never heard of individual responsibility.
Today, most of the people who number in this entitlement society have never had to be accountable for themselves or the children they create. Neither do most of them have any foundation in Faith or religion. Morals and decency have been relegated to unnecessary inconveniences by this group.
So, here we have the product created by the Progressives. We have almost half of the people in our country standing there with the palm of their hand facing the moon, waiting for someone to put something in it. Most of this group haven't even finished school so they are totally unaware of how this country is supposed to operate. Most don't know how to or don't care to get a job if they could. The family unit is virtually absent in this group. Morals and values are sorely lacking among most of them.
So, if you will, please consider what will happen when this economy fails, and it will. It's only a matter of time, considering the $16.5 TRILLION debt. Eventually, the whole world will realize the money the Fed is pumping out is worthless. The bill will come due. The checks won't be in the mailbox. The food won't be provided. There will be no funding for any of the things the perpetual dependents are accustomed to having. What will the totally unprepared entitlement society do then?
The United States and all of the producers herein owe the Progressives a debt of gratitude for creating this time bomb. And, by the way, Post and Courier, throwing more taxpayer money at the problem is NOT the answer.
