Don't Tread On Me.

Christopher Gadsden (February 16, 1724 – September 15, 1805), a soldier and statesman from South Carolina, was the principal leader of the South Carolina Patriot movement in the American Revolution. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress and a brigadier general in the Continental Army during the War of Independence. He was also the designer of the famous Gadsden flag.

Gadsden was born in 1724 in Charleston, South Carolina. He was the son of Thomas Gadsden, who had served in the Royal Navy before becoming customs collector for the port of Charleston. Christopher was sent to school near Bristol, England. He returned to America in 1740, and served as an apprentice in a counting house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He inherited a large fortune from his parents, who died in 1741. From 1745 to 1746 he served during King George's War as a purser on a British warship. He entered into mercantile ventures, and by 1747 he had earned enough to return to South Carolina and buy back the land his father had lost by gambling in 1733.

South Carolina Immigration Bill Passes House and Senate.

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Reuters)--South Carolina's House of Representatives approved on Tuesday a comprehensive illegal immigration bill that would allow police to ask for citizenship documentation from anyone they stop or detain for another reason.

It would also allow police to hold a person who fails to provide documentation until their citizenship status is determined.

The Republican-controlled House on Tuesday night voted 69-43 to approve a Senate bill and added amendments. The Senate must concur. If it does not, a conference committee will reconcile the two houses' differences.
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is expected to sign the bill.

The South Carolina law also calls for the creation of a special Illegal Immigration Enforcement Unit within the state police department to work with federal Immigration and Customs officials.

The law would make it a crime to travel within the state without proper documentation or to transport or harbor any undocumented person within the state. It also punishes employers who hire undocumented workers.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The South Carolina state Senate passed a bill Thursday designed to give law enforcement more tools to fight illegal immigration.

The bill would allow local law enforcement officers the authority to detain a person while determining whether the person is in the country legally, but only after the person has been stopped on suspicion of another crime.It states that an investigation into the person's immigration status could only begin if the person failed to present a valid I.D.The bill differs from the controversial immigration law in Arizona in that the bill prohibits officers from making "an independent judgment of a person's lawful presence in the United States.""Biggest thing is, we don't criminalize the unlawful presence of someone in South Carolina," said Sen. Larry Martin, R-Pickens. "We'd like to do that, but the federal law preempts us."The bill says that the officer would need to contact U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to determine if a person should be arrested for immigration violations.The measure also proposes the creation of an Illegal Immigration Enforcement Unit within the South Carolina Department of Public Safety to serve as a mediator between local law enforcement and ICE.Other provisions of the bill include making it a felony to provide an illegal immigrant with fake identification, and a $5 fee on some wire transfers of money going from South Carolina to locations outside of the U.S.The fee would be raised to 1 percent on transfers of more than $500. Martin said the bill was amended to make sure the fee would not affect businesses in the state that perform large wire transfers of money on a regular basis.Opponents of the bill said the measure was likely to draw a lawsuit from the federal government for giving local law enforcement too much authority on immigration."It's going to subject South Carolina to tremendous legal fees, all for nothing but a few sounds bites that the Republicans thought that the tea party base just had to have," said Sen. Bradley Hutto, D-Orangeburg, who voted against the bill."We haven't done anything to chill (illegal immigrants') presence in the state. All we've done is put a burden on law enforcement," Hutto said.The bill will have to pass the House of Representatives before it can be signed into law.

My American Eagle!

First President in the United States

Four months before the Declaration of Independence was signed, South Carolina adopted a state constitution–drafted by a Provincial Congress–and elected John Rutledge (1739-1800) as the State's President and Henry Laurens (1724-1792) as its vice-president. The titles of these offices were changed to Governor and Lieutenant Governor by the Constitution of 1779.

The process of launching a new and independent government in the province of South Carolina formally began on July 6, 1774, while the province was patiently waiting for its new Royal Governor - Lord William Campbell, who did not arrive until June 18, 1775. William Bull, Jr. had been acting on his behalf since 1773, when the previous Royal Governor - Lord Charles Grenville Montague was recalled in disgrace by the British government.

On March 26, 1776, the Second Provincial Congress convened in the morning, then re-assembled in the afternoon as the First General Assembly of the State of South Carolina. The following were the elected leaders of the first South Carolina government:

President - John Rutledge

Vice-President - Henry Laurens

Chief Justice - William Henry Drayton

Assistant Judges - Thomas Bee, John Matthews, Henry Pendleton

Attorney-General - Alexander Moultrie

Fort Moultrie is the name of a series of citadels on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, built to protect the city of Charleston, South Carolina. The first fort, built of palmetto logs, inspired the flag and nickname (Palmetto State) of South Carolina. It is named in honour of the commander in the Battle of Sullivan's Island, General William Moultrie.

Fort Moultrie is the only area of the National Park System where the entire 171-year history of American seacoast defense (1776–1947) can be traced.

About 50 neo-Nazis rally in Trenton today while hundreds of officers in riot gear stand by

We were kept pretty far,

to understate the matter, from the opposition...


...that time. But, we managed to have some real fun before the rally, because the anarchist scum disrupted our Annual Banquet. Two of their guys were arrested, Joseph W. Alcoff, 29, of Syracuse, N.Y., Thomas T. Keenan, 25, of Franklin Township.. Four of ours hospitalized briefly, two at the insistence of First Responders if only to collect evidence against the Reds.



This way, you eat what you want and still loose weight. National Socialism's unpopularity with the unwashed masses is guaranteed to attract ants to any picnic.

And I can boast my first Promotion





N.J.'s finest.




The Black Panthers are a bunch of Rabble-Rousers who are against race-mixing, homosexuality and drugs in their community.....In other words my kinda folks.
