Gamecocks have #12 Recruiting class

The USC Gamecock's recruiting class was ranked #12 by Rivals.com. We ended up with 14 four star recruits. After last season's extremely disappointing finish we'll see what happens. Expectations are at an all time low here.

On a more positive note who would have thought that the Gamecocks basketball team would be #2 in the SEC east have have a 16-5 record. I am impressed with what Coach Horn has been able to do in such a short time. Things are looking up for Gamecock basketball after those big last minutes wins against Florida and Kentucky. While I'm not usually a big basketball fan, games like this make you want to watch.

Secession/Nullification is back!

I thought South Carolina was the leader when it came to stuff like this. This is nothing new. In addition to the articles of secession proclaimed by the Confederate States of America, Virginia and Kentucky passed resolutions early on in this country's history when the Federal government tried to abuse its power in contravention to the Constitution. After the Southern War for Independence, Lincoln made crushed the seceding states and used the puppet governments installed in them to push through the 14 Amendment which spelled the death for state's rights by Federal courts now being able to impose their rule on the states. It is refreshing to see that state's are waking up to the abuse of power by the Federal government. Hopefully more states will wake up before it is too late.

Scary stuff

The current economic crisis coupled with the never ending "war on terror" has created a state of worry, panic, and frustration among the citizens of the many states. While congress shovels more money towards the groups that elected them and the Fed prints trillions of dollars, the people of these United State are growing restless and feel that the government is no longer representing them or their interests. There is a strong undercurrent of dissent and dissatisfaction with the political elite in this country. As I mentioned in my earlier post, nothing has changed between Bush and Obama. The politicians realize this growing opposition to the beltway's "business as usual" approach to government. People are waking up to the shame Federal Reserve System and realizing the politicians are slowly making us all indentured servants to the government. As more and more people awaken from their media and pornographically induced comas, and come to the realization all their freedoms are being taken from them, this serves as a major threat to the politically elite's power.

Obama has already suggested creating an army of brown shirts aka his "civilian security force," the implementation of which would be rather easy since the organization is already in place through groups such as ACORN and the like. Basically these groups could be used to "snitch" on the freedom loving people of these States should they voice any opposition to the ruling political elite.

Congress, aware of the great threat should political upheaval occur will be prepared to protect its own interests from its citizens by rounding them up and placing them into camps. Democrat Alcee Hasting of Florida has introduced HR 645 calling for concentration camps for civilians. Basically anyone who is labeled a "terrorist" (aka anyone with an opposing view of the government) shall be rounded up.

We are entering unprecedented times in this country.
