Letters

During the past year, we have been very critical of U.S. Congressman John Spratt and his voting record. In fact, we have written several letters to the editor expressing our displeasure. We strongly believed Mr. Spratt had been mistakenly following Nancy Pelosi’s lead in recent years on the many bills being considered in Congress.

Some time ago, I submitted a letter to the editor decrying the sad state of our community when my wife was left on the side of the road with a disabled vehicle and two small children in the car and nary a person offered to help.  
Today, I eat those words and apologize to this wonderful community. Life has a way of setting you straight on matters and my correction has been delivered.  
My family and I were recently in a very bad car accident, in which my wife was suffered life-threatening injuries.

The Christmas season is upon us once again.
Sitting about with friends and acquaintances, someone always comes up with “Where do all these down-and-out folks come from at Christmas time?”
Well sir, I just decided to seek an answer.
Bless Pete, I figure that within us all is a little computer that kicks in about this time of the year to bring out the best  of our so-called human nature. Rather than complaining about our own misfortune, we realize that there are some folks who truly have some real honest-to-goodness difficulties.

I had the great privilege to be among many S.C. TEA Party patriots on Nov. 17. 

Many towns in this great state were represented, including Bluffton, Anderson, Lancaster, Rock Hill, Clover, Sumter and Columbia.
