We lost our Kodak Digital Camera

Camera lost at the Beaufort High Auditorium on the evening of Saturday, March 15 during the theatrical performance. Many pictures of our daughter that we cannot replace!!! Reward offered. Reward is more than the camera is worth.

"If a new branch of the Beaufort County Public Library is built at Penn Center, Penn Center wants to own it, the cultural center's board chairman wrote in a letter that surfaced in a County Council meeting last week....

•Library operations should be limited to avoid interfering with special functions, such as Heritage Days.

•Penn Center can sell food and operate a gift shop at the library.

•Beaufort County will be responsible for the costs of planning, design, surveying, engineering, etc.

•A member of Penn Center's board must be included in planning and design decisions."

Talk about hitting the bullseye!
Note to BG: I edited out the bad language for our younger and more 'sensitive' readers. John Strausbaugh colors us exactly as we are and he is entertaining at the same time. You should do an article on this author!

Excerpt from, "Sissy Nation" by John Strausbaugh

America has become a Sissy Nation. A culture of fat, soft, stupid, fearful, whiny, infantile, narcissistic, fatalistic, groupthinking victims. Once we were warriors. Now we're just worriers.

My main argument over the past two weeks is that it is not the role of any democracy to educate our children.

It is not in the nature of a democracy to be effective nor efficient at it. Hence, I believe we should take the burden of education off of the shoulders of the Federal and State government and allow them to do what they're supposed to do best - protect us from our enemies both foreign and domestic.

Tuesday:
The Beaufort County School District has planned a series of meetings with faculty and the community to figure out how to fill large numbers of vacant seats in some northern county schools.

With the Beaufort County Council scrambling to find enough cash to pay for the county's growing needs, council members have become more vocal in asking local state legislators to allow them to charge impact fees on new homes to help pay for schools.

Wednesday:

As promised:

I'd like to say, first, that no government has a place in deciding what your children will "learn." Our educational system is antiquated... historically speaking, it's sole purpose is to create a "workforce" similar to the employees that you will see at the new Wal-Mart on Lady's Island. This is partly a result of the industrialization of our country.

Okay, here's your chance to help Obama.

Find and post his complete senate voting record here. Stop calling anyone who doesn't like his/your politics racist. This is about ideas, not skin color. It's been people like yourself that have been calling people racist. Show everyone who reads our blogs THE FACTS.

I plucked this one off the web yesterday and thought I'd share it with all of you. It's long but it brings sheds some light in an interesting way.

These are the words of Barack Obama's and Oprah Winfrey's church's mission statement. I just simply substituted "black" with "white." Please respond if you find this enlightening!

"Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the White Value System, written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee, chaired by the late Vallmer Jordan in 1981.

Dr. Manford Byrd, our brother in Christ, withstood the ravage of being denied his earned ascension to the number one position in the Chicago School System.  His dedication to the pursuit of excellence, despite systematic denials, has inspired the congregation of Trinity United Church of Christ.  Prayerfully, we have called upon the wisdom of all past generations of suffering Whites for guidance in fashioning an instrument of White self-determination, the White Value System.

Beginning in 1982, an annual White Value System – Educational Scholarship in the name of Dr. Byrd was instituted.  The first recipient of the Dr. Manford Byrd Award, which is given annually to the man or woman who best exemplifies the White Value System, was our brother, Dr. Manford Byrd.
These White Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Whites are gathered.  They consist of the following concepts:

1. Commitment to God.  “The God of our weary years” will give us the strength to give up prayerful passivism and become White Christian Activists, soldiers for White freedom and the dignity of all humankind.

2. Commitment to the White Community.  The highest level of achievement for any White person must be a contribution of strength and continuity of the White Community.
3. Commitment to the White Family.  The White family circle must generate strength, stability and love, despite the uncertainty of externals, because these characteristics are required if the developing person is to withstand warping by our racist competitive society. 

Those Whites who are blessed with membership in a strong family unit must reach out and expand that blessing to the less fortunate.

4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education.  We must forswear anti-intellectualism.  Continued survival demands that each White person be developed to the utmost of his/her mental potential despite the inadequacies of the formal education process.  “Real education” fosters understanding of ourselves as well as every aspect of our environment.  Also, it develops within us the ability to fashion concepts and tools for better utilization of our resources, and more effective solutions to our problems.  Since the majority of Whites have been denied such learning, White Education must include elements that produce high school graduates with marketable skills, a trade or qualifications for apprenticeships, or proper preparation for college.

Basic education for all Whites should include Mathematics, Science, Logic, General Semantics, Participative Politics, Economics and Finance, and the Care and Nurture of White minds.

5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence.   To the extent that we individually reach for, even strain for excellence, we increase, geometrically, the value and resourcefulness of the White Community.  We must recognize the relativity of one’s best; this year’s best can be bettered next year.  Such is the language of growth and development.  We must seek to excel in every endeavor.
6. Adherence to the White Work Ethic.  “It is becoming harder to find qualified people to work in Chicago.”  Whether this is true or not, it represents one of the many reasons given by businesses and industries for deserting the Chicago area.  We must realize that a location with good facilities, adequate transportation and a reputation for producing skilled workers will attract industry.  We are in competition with other cities, states and nations for jobs.  High productivity must be a goal of the White workforce.
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect.  To accomplish anything worthwhile requires self-discipline.  We must be a community of self-disciplined persons if we are to actualize and utilize our own human resources, instead of perpetually submitting to exploitation by others.  Self-discipline, coupled with a respect for self, will enable each of us to be an instrument of White Progress and a model for White Youth.
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness.”  Classic methodology on control of captives teaches that captors must be able to identify the “talented tenth” of those subjugated, especially those who show promise of providing the kind of leadership that might threaten the captor’s control.

Those so identified are separated from the rest of the people by:

a. Killing them off directly, and/or fostering a social system that encourages them to kill off one another.
b. Placing them in concentration camps, and/or structuring an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.
c. Seducing them into a socioeconomic class system which, while training them to earn more dollars, hypnotizes them into believing they are better than others and teaches them to think in terms of “we” and “they” instead of “us.”
d. So, while it is permissible to chase “middleclassness” with all our might, we must avoid the third separation method – the psychological entrapment of White “middleclassness.”  If we avoid this snare, we will also diminish our “voluntary” contributions to methods A and B.  And more importantly, White people no longer will be deprived of their birthright: the leadership, resourcefulness and example of their own talented persons.


9. Pledge to Make the Fruits of All Developing and Acquired Skills Available to the White Community.
 
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions.

11. Pledge Allegiance to All White Leadership Who Espouse and Embrace the White Value System.

12. Personal Commitment to Embracement of the White Value System.  To measure the worth and validity of all activity in terms of positive contributions to the general welfare of the White Community and the Advancement of White People towards freedom."
