What’s going on in Gaffney, SC? A serial killer is on the loose. From The Greenville News:

GAFFNEY — More than 100 law enforcement officers worked around the clock Saturday trying to catch a serial killer who has been terrorizing Cherokee County, as the youngest of his victims died in a Spartanburg hospital two days after being found shot at her father’s furniture store.

Abby Leigh Tyler, 15, succumbed to her injuries at 11:25 a.m. Saturday at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, said Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler.

She was the fifth casualty in a string of three Cherokee County incidents that began June 27 with the fatal shooting of peach farmer Kline Cash, 63, Fowler said.

Residents in this county of 54,000 less than an hour from Greenville said they were taking precautions for fear the killer could target them next.

As the USA sends a clear message to all that supporting liberty around the globe is no longer its intention, Honduras stands alone in its fight for freedom against a wide array of tyrants, including Barack Obama, Hugo Chavez, and Castro. So far, it looks like Honduras is going to stand firm with its constitution by refusing to accept pressure to bow to tyranny (click HERE).

Contrary to American government-run media, ousted President Manuel Zelaya has little support in Honduras, especially after Zelay took steps to nullify the country’s constitution. Shaming the people of the USA who have sat by in fear as the American Constitution is gutted by the Obama regime, Honduras expelled the would-be dictator and has refused to accept OAS demands to restore the despot to power. Even Al Obama AP reports that the ouster of Zelaya is something that the USA should support:

The military ousted Zelaya with the backing of Honduras’ political establishment, including the Supreme Court, Congress and Zelaya’s own party. He was insisting on following through with a referendum on constitutional change that the Supreme Court ruled illegal.

The USA should be offering full moral, military, and economic support to the Honduran government that is trying to survive through a major trial. The Obama regime will not support such a pursuit of liberty because it – like the Zelaya regime – seeks to establish itself as a dictatorship without regard to the rule of law or the nation’s constitution.

So far, Honduras has acted in accordance with principle and has defied the OAS’s efforts to enslave it:

Honduras has continued to defy the international community. Late on Saturday, the Organization of American States voted to suspend the country from the multilateral body, which has 34 active members. Earlier, Honduras’ provisional government said it would rather be kicked out of the OAS than allow Mr. Zelaya to return to the presidential seat (Click HERE to read more).

I agree with Honduras! I would rather be expelled by a group of deranged, oppressive governments than yield my liberty and sovereignty. Again, I say, the USA – it’s government AND it’s people – should be wholly supportive of liberty in Honduras. I am ashamed that we are not.

What about this left-wing secretary of OAS? He showed up to try to “mediate,” but he obviously had a non-neutral agenda:

So far, attempts at diplomacy have failed. OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza arrived on Friday for talks with leading politicians and figures like Cardinal Rodriguez. But Mr. Insulza left soon after, saying the interim government didn’t want to budge. “The break in the constitutional order persists and those that did this don’t seem to have any intention of reversing that situation,” he told a news conference late on Friday.

Mr. Insulza said that officials on Friday presented him with a large quantity of charges against the former leader but that the diplomat still wasn’t convinced the coup plotters took the right course of action. “If someone has an accusation against a president, they make them,” Mr. Insulza said. “There are mechanisms to force him out of office. They have to do it in a legal way.”

Some in Honduras, however, criticize Mr. Insulza and the OAS for suspending Honduras from the group while at the same time pushing to allow Cuba back in despite that country’s Communist dictatorship.

Mr. Insulza should go take a hike. Since when has the OAS been given the mission to oppose democracy in Central America? In fact, any effort that weakens Hugo Chavez’s influence in the region should be welcomed.

Then, of course, there’s another way of looking at this situation. Click HERE to read an alternative viewpoint at America’s Right.

From America’s Right:

New jobless numbers are out. Unemployment in America has risen to 9.5 percent, after repeated promises from the president and the White House that eight percent would be the top end, that the stimulus package and the shovel-ready projects it funded would boost the economy and provide millions of new jobs. It hasn’t.

In other words, Barry Soetoro (aka Barack Obama) lied. He lied. He lied. Does anyone CARE that he lied? It doesn’t seem like it. No matter how bad it gets, and no matter how much his policies hurt, his supporters will keep voting for him as they will for any Democrat. We are dealing with an electorate that doesn’t care about issues, values, morality, or honesty: they are insane. The people who vote Democrat might as well have a “Kick Me” sign on their backs. They just don’t care, no matter how poor they get, no matter how many promises are broken, no matter how hard living gets… all they know is that they want Hope and Change and they don’t give a sh1t when things get worse rather than better.

We all know that cap and trade is a disaster for every average American. Estimates are that this plan will increase the cost of electricity by 90% or more, while further limiting our own supply of energy. Republicans have been blasting Democrats over the bill, but I think they’d be better served by blasting the 8 RINO traitors who passed the bill first. Here’s what Malkin observed:

At the same time the NRCC excoriates Democrats for the cap-and-tax vote, it continues to support, defend, and raise money for Republicans who voted the same way.

Until the Republican Party gets serious about opposing the tyranny that is becoming SOP in America, I won’t give them any money. I won’t give them any support of any kind. The only difference between the Republican Party and the Democrat Party is that the Republican Party has a slightly less degree of filth. C’mon! Do you really think things would be a lot different right now if McCain won?

UPDATE: Read this from Gateway:

The Wall Street Journal tells us something we already knew this morning:

The unfortunate lesson is that you don’t need to win the vote on Election Day as long as your lawyers are creative enough to have enough new or disqualified ballots counted after the fact.

Mr. Franken trailed Mr. Coleman by 725 votes after the initial count on election night, and 215 after the first canvass. The Democrat’s strategy from the start was to manipulate the recount in a way that would discover votes that could add to his total.

If Franken had any decency he’d at least thank those 2,812 dead voters for their support.

It’s good to see that someone can call Al Franken what he is: a clown. Here’s part of what Sen Inhofe said concerning the cap and trade bill:

Inhofe said the much-anticipated conclusion of a Senate race in Minnesota that will give Democrats the 60 votes needed to overcome Republican filibusters would not be enough to save the climate change bill.

“I’ll tell you what a lot of people are thinking, and that is it looks like things are going to be over and we are going to get the clown from Minnesota,” he said.

“They are not going to get more than 35 votes.”

Asked if he was referring to Al Franken as the clown from Minnesota, Inhofe confirmed he was.

Al Franken is more than a clown. He is an election criminal. He is a fruit of ACORN fraud. He is the product of an election ran by allies. He is the a Senator because judges care more about their personal political agenda than for justice.

He is a buffoon. He is a moron. He is a farce. He is a disgrace to humanity. He is a disgrace to America. Any country that had any self respect would haul a creep like Franken out on a rail, and either hang him on the Mall or kick his sorry a$$ out of the country… but of course, that would be a country that had self respect. This is America. Americans seem to be very content to have their adversaries ruling over them.

Mark Sanford continues to be a hot topic in the news.

Jenny may forgive, but I don’t think she’s going to forget. Unlike some of these other betrayed wives of politicians, she’s got enough cash to get by BEFORE she takes Mark to the proverbial cleaners.

To read about how Mark Sanford has blown his book deal, click HERE. This isn’t too bad as far as I’m concerned: everyone seems to think they have to write a book these days. C’mon, with these books, does anyone really read them anyway?

To Mark Sanford and to any man thinking about “crossing the line” with a woman other than his wife.

From Proverbs chapter 5:

1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: 2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her moutha is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. 7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: 10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealthb; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; 11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; 13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

US: American soldier captured in Afghanistan

KABUL (AP) — US military spokeswoman says insurgents have captured an American soldier in eastern Afghanistan.

Capt. Elizabeth Mathias said the soldier has been missing since Tuesday. She said she could not provide further information.

Mathias said the military was using “all our resources to find him and provide for his safe return.”

The soldier was not taking part in the major military operation launched in the southern Taliban stronghold of Helmand early Thursday.

What’s up with all these new confessions and ammendments to the affair story told by Mark Sanford? Does he not know when to shut up? He’s starting to cross into the realm of bizarre behavior…  and how does he think all this is going to help restore his relationship with his wife? Does he really think this Maria woman is going to stay with him? Does he really want to resign? What about all this “crossing the line” with other women, but not really crossing the line stuff? What is wrong with Mark Sanford? Is he really repentant of his affair, or is he now “into” bragging about his extramarital exploits? I tend to agree with those who suggest that Sanford should have said all that he wanted to say at the beginning, then shut up and move on. If he continues in this manner, I think it wise to refer him for mental evaluation.

When House Democratic leaders were rounding up votes Friday for the massive climate-change bill, they paid special attention to their colleagues from Ohio who remained stubbornly undecided.

They finally secured the vote of one Ohioan, veteran Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo, the old-fashioned way. They gave her what she wanted – a new federal power authority, similar to Washington state’s Bonneville Power Administration, stocked with up to $3.5 billion in taxpayer money available for lending to renewable energy and economic development projects in Ohio and other Midwestern states.

The problem here is twofold. First, Nancy Pelosi is allowed to make multi-billion dolar payoffs to entice members of Congress to vote against their principle. Drawing from what Democrats perceive to be an unlimited pot of money siphoned from American taxpayers, the sky is the limit for anyone opposing the Democrat agenda. In this case, the cost was $3.5 billion to go to enrich the corrupt government contractor network in Ohio.

The second problem is that members of Congress are so shallow and so irresponsible that they have no concern about morality, principle, or for the good of the nation. Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo is an abomination and should not be allowed to breath American air. Maybe if traitors to our nation start paying the price for their treason, things would shape up a bit in Washington DC.
