It's NEVER Too Late!

Today on my broadcast of Southern Sense on Blog Talk Radio, I had a caller who felt it was "too late" for the Tea Parties and other conservative groups to undue the damage that the progressive left have done to our country and the Constitution. My guest, Charles Early of the Charleston Tea Party, here in South Carolina and I  spent long minutes trying to convince her she was wrong.  Here is our argument for hope and change in the "right" direction.


Long before Ronald Reagan realized he was a conservative, there was Ayn Rand who gave us John Galt and her powerful conservative values survive in the Ayn Rand Institute.  Enter the Heritage Foundation which continues to fight to counter the progressive agenda.  Throw into the mixture a "silent majority" who finally found their voices through the Tea Party conservative movement.  When poked and prodded enough by the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Barak Obama and Harry Reid the American People will say enough is enough and act to preserve this Republic.  We are silent no more!


It took about a century to get to this stage and it may take just as long to bring these United States of America back to a Constitutional government that our founding fathers envisioned.  Every journey begins with a first step to begin the momentum.  The warnings of Ayn Rand in "Atlas Shrugged" have been heard and the John Galt in all of us has been awoken.  We will act to vote and replace those who seek to destroy the Constitution and thus the Republic.  We will educate the public and our children as to what this document contains. It is the foundation of this nation, not a living, flexible document.  We will teach our children to be moral and responsible and to respect their fellow man.  We will hold our elected and government officials accountable for adhering to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the welfare of the Republic.  Most of all, we will be persistent, outspoken and determined, not relenting to outside pressure, misrepresentation or other tactics that are used against us as they try to cow us into submission.  The fight will be handed down to succeeding generations with the understanding we are handing down the Torch of Liberty that our founders entrusted to our care.


It won't be an easy journey.  It is long and the pitfalls are many.  We must stay true to our beliefs and our souls, for it is the soul of the country we fight for and the liberties our Creator endowed us with. This experiment, this Republic never before existed, nor has it existed elsewhere.  Do not let the word "Republic" which, other regimes flaunt in their name' fool you.  A true republic only exists when a written constitution works to protect the rights and liberties of the democratically represented people.  It is "We the people" at the beginning and "We the people" in the end.  It's never too late to preserve this Nation!

What The Left Fails To Understand About Tea Parties

A recent article got my blood boiling!  Amy Gardner of the Washington Post fails to understand the heart and soul of the Tea Party Movement.  Read the article here.

This is my response:


Ms. Gardner,

It is a shame that you did not attempt to contact our group.  I am sure that I would have been able to assist you in your research into the Tea Parties.  We are easy to find on the Tea Party Nation web site as well as a simple Google search.  The web page, which I maintain is located at http://BeaufortTeaParty.webs.com

Additionally, you can listen to my radio broadcast discussing Tea Parties with two other group leaders at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/southern-sense/2010/08/17/southern-sense--news-current-events

Next, you can listen this coming Wed morn to Lenny McAllister, as he & I discuss the Tea Party movement on the radio at http://chicagoradioandmedia.com/news/954-wvon-am-adds-lenny-mcallister-to-its-line-up

Just as the Revolutionary War began as in ideal and over 2 decades built into our independence, we are slowly changing the face of the nation back to what our founding fathers envisioned for this great country.  We DO NOT advocate violence, nor accept bigoted or improper behavior!

As we advocate conservative values, we spread an ideal, reminding our fellow Americans just what made us great.  It was conservative values that led to abolition and woman's suffragette.  We remind people just how precious our liberties are and how easily they can be snatched from us.

Our strength is in the fact that we are not organized into a single party or organization.  No one individual or group can claim all Tea Parties, therefor, none may control us.  Our diversity is our strength. For example, Beaufort and Bluffton Tea Parties will not align with or endorse any political party or candidate, where as Hilton Head will.  Yet, we unite enforce to promote our core beliefs. Tea Parties are united behind themes of:

Limited Government
Fiscal Responsibility
Individual Liberty & Responsibility
Free Market Economy
Adherence to the Constitution and principles of the Declaration of Independence

Our purpose is to Educate & Motivate: 

Educate the voters on upcoming and existing legislation and candidates.  We get them interested in the issues as well as our history as a nation. 

Motivate the voters to act by getting to the polling places as well as using all avenues of communication with their elected officials, government regulators and media to get their voices heard.

The beauty of the Tea Party is we do not mandate membership to participate.  Our web membership may number in the hundreds or less, but our reach is in the thousands.  Grandma on the couch can email her congressman and influence a vote much easier than a picketer outside the White House.  We are diverse people and groups, yet we unite in purpose.

We were the Silent Majority and because we were silent, we allowed policies to be implemented that has driven the nation in a direction that is not acceptable.  We have rediscovered our voice and will be silent no longer. 

Please feel free to contact me should you desire further insight into the Tea Party Movement.

OMG! Michelle Obama, Esq. Doesn't Know Her Law?

Give me a break.  Michelle Obama was admitted to the Illinois Bar Association in 1989 and worked supporting her husbands electoral  campaigns, yet doesn't know she can't campaign in a polling place in the State of Illinois?  Just who is she kidding?  The Board of Elections posts signs establishing a "Campaign Free Zone".  Is it possible this Harvard Educated Attorney and inactive member of the Illinois Bar Association failed to understand the simple three word sign declaring a "Campaign Free Zone"? I find it very hard to believe she is so naive.

We are speaking of an intelligent, educated woman who has stood at her husband side campaigning from the start.  She knows the laws and the main stream media is turning a blind eye to her flagrant actions.  The Illinois Board of Elections has a pamphlet on Voter Fraud which is explicit about preventing Electioneering in a "Campaign Free Zone".  As First Lady of this Nation, she does know better and must be held to a higher standard.  Let's see if the Board of Elections in Illinois has the courage to act accordingly.

Despite Everything, There Is Hope In The World

While 8 teenager,s who are members of the "Latin Kings Goonies", brutally attacked, beaten, tortured and sodomized two teenage boys and an adult male in New York City, the world continued to count the days that 33 miners remained trapped in a collapsed mine in Chile.

Rescue workers from across the world, including America, responded to calls for assistance bravely issued by President Sebastian Pinera of Chile.  (This is a lesson President Obama should learn following the debacle of the BP spill.)  Predicting a rescue by Christmas, these brave men and women worked around the clock and beat the time clock by more than 2 months!  Yesterday, the first miner emerged from his entombment to tears, cheers and hugs.

Over the next weeks and months stories of the 70 day ordeal of the miners and rescue workers will be told.  Stories of bravery, acts of compassion, hope, faith, heroism and determination will re-enforce our belief in the ultimate goodness of mankind.  I will keep this in mind and heart as petty quarrels threatened to blossom into major fights and people forget their humanity and act like idiots.

I still believe in the goodness of mankind and will fight the evil of the few.  God Bless these miners, their rescuers and all of their families and friends who stood by them.

Libturd Attacks Tea Party

An anonymous person emailed me several days ago, after my editorial appeared in the Gazette.  They wrote: “I will be attending the Tea Party Rally on Sept. 12. I will be looking to see if the Tea Party representatives and speakers will be speaking to solutions to our nations problems and not be apart of the problem. I will not be looking for gripes, complaints, anti-Obama or racial placards.”

My response to QUEBILL@aol.com was: “You are most welcome to join us, however we will not restrict FREE speech.  It is not the responsibility of those who are part of the Tea Party movement to create "solutions".  It is our responsibility to make our voices heard to elected officials and candidates so they may form solutions.  It is our responsibility to seek out individuals who can lead us out of the quagmire both parties lead us into and support them in their efforts.

We do not tolerate racism and will continue to battle it as we did throughout the civil rights movement, which without us would have been even longer in occurring.

It it odd you did not sign your name!

Beaufort Tea Party co-founder”

In other words, the type of people who populate the Tea Party movement are the same foot soldiers who fought the Revolutionary War, who supported the Abolitionist movement of the Civil War And who stood shoulder to shoulder throughout the Civil Rights era fighting for equality.  Ordinary American Patriots fighting extra-ordinary battles, while being publicly derided and mis-represented.

We seek out capable and honest people who support the foundation of this nation, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  It is our duty and responsibility to find leaders with wisdom, courage and common sense to formulate solutions and implement them.  We seek out organizations that espouse the Tea Party principles to help form solutions and support these leaders, such as the CATO Institute and the Heritage Foundation.

Look around you and what do you see?  The average Joe.  The everyday American. A sleeping giant that was poked into action by irresponsible actions of our government. 

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. —    

That to secure these rights, Gov’ts are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,”

Our fore fathers knew the extent and limits of our tolerance & when  pushed to a certain point, “We The People” would be moved to action.  They knew that those of us that have the ability to take action, have the absolute responsibility to act.”

It was President Andrew Jackson who said, “One man with courage makes a majority”   Well, We are the Majority and Silent No Longer!

Now, QUEBILL@aol.com, before I introduce our guest speakers, I’ll leave you with one final thought. It was the Renaissance Author Dante who said, “the hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in a time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”

You cannot silence us with your disinformation and veiled threats.  We will be Silent No Longer!

Open Invite To All Politicians!

Open Letter To All Politicians

This is an open invitation to all elected officials, as well as current and past candidates to attend the 1st Anniversary 9/12 Rally by the Beaufort Tea Party, this Sunday at 1pm at the Waterfront Park.  We always encourage you to attend our rallies!  In our first rally last year on July 4th, we made the error of allowing politicians to speak and did not give the people a voice.  Since then, in the subsequent rallies, we remedied that error and only allow those who speak not be politicians.  We have been pleasantly surprised at the words and wisdom of the voters who spoke.

We whole heartily welcome you to attend and listen to what "We The People" have to say.  As a “grass-roots” movement, that has united a silent majority into a political force that is slowly changing the face of politics and policy, we encourage you to listen.  Feel free to press the flesh and kiss the babies.

Our members do not care what political party you are with.  If you think this is only directed to Conservatives or Republicans, think again!  The invitation is open to all politicians.  We would like to commend some of those who have attended all of our events, stood in the crowd, listening and answering, one on one: Mayor Billy Keyserling, City Councilwoman Donnie Beer, County Councilman Paul Sommerville, and State Representative Shannon Erickson.  Thank you, we look forward to seeing you this Sunday!

More Americans Believe Obama is Muslim & Socialist!

What Americans have not seen, nor has been reported, catering to a specific religion’s legal tenets did not start with just the Muslim Religion. As a police officer in NYPD in the Williamsburg and East New York areas of Brooklyn, I witnesses Hasidim Courts taking precedent over our legal system in the 1980′s and 1990′s.

This, I feel had opened the door for Sharia Law gaining a foothold in America. The difference between the two is that Hasdic Laws only affected those of the Jewish Hasidim Orthodox religion. Radical Islam wants Sharia Law to apply to all Americans.

Progressive Judges in Blue States continually ignore the Constitutional Federal and State laws and bend to the creeping Sharia into our legal system and noted in recent news items. Blend into that the knowledge that President Obama was taught in an Islamic School in Indonesia the Islamic faith and Sharia Law.   Take into consideration that every time he travels to a Muslim country, he does not bring his wife, which under that faith is prohibited.  Remember President Obama bowing to the Saudi King, the defacto leader of the Islamic faithful in that country?  Or shall we mention the canceling of the "National Prayer Service Breakfast".  but the allowance of the Muslim Prayer Day in the Washington Mall?

His appearances and performance in visiting Mosques and Islamic audiences should be looked at carefully. To put the proverbial “fork” into the matter, take into consideration his flimsy statements pertaining to the planned “Ground Zero” mosque.  Would he not have served the American people better if he had stated in his speech, “That although Iman Rauf has the Constitutional right to build his mosque on the congregations property, we ask that he considers the moral right he and his congregation have to honor the American sacred ground of the tragedy of the 9/11 terror attacks, the close to 3000 victims, their family and the voice of the American people. We urge the Iman to enter into talks with the City and State of New York to find an alternative site for the wonderful multi-cultural center.”

The building that is to be the new mosque has never been searched for victims of the 9/11 attacks and was the site where the plan’s landing gear crashed through. It is part of Ground Zero and no one knows how many unclaimed remains are yet to be found inside.

To add to the Muslim leanings of this administration, we must call into consideration the questionable background and associations of Iman Rauf. Several watchdog groups have uncovered areas that warrant further investigation. These watchdog groups urged caution when the State Department hired Iman Rauf to make a 5 Mid-East nation tour. Rauf refuses to denounce Hamas and Hezbollah.
Although President Obama attended Reverend Wrights radical church, he has yet shown where he was Baptized as a Christian.

As for his Socialist beliefs? One only has to read his two books, listen to his numerous lectures and pre-Presidential election speeches. Need I remind anyone of the “Joe the Plumber” encounter of “spreading the wealth”? Add into the pot the numerous appointments to his cabinet, federal agencies and the Supreme Court? Can we say “Van Jones”?

During the Presidential Democratic Primary race between Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama, a certain talk show radio host mounted the “Stop Hillary Train”. At that time, I repeatedly screamed at the radio and wrote to this host’s show, that he didn’t know just what type of Pandora’s Box he was opening. We knew the lesser devil we would get, should Hillary get elected, we then were only to begin to learning the of the potential devil we now have ended up with as President.

Stop The Mosque At Ground Zero!

Although the Imam who wants to build the mosque near ground zero has the Constitutional Right to do so, he has a Moral Right to respect the honor and wishes of the victims and citizens of the United States.  He refused to acknowledge that Moral Right.

However, that said, we must understand why they are so insistent on that location.  It is the tradition of all Islam to build a mosque directly upon the place of victory and conquest.  This is the very reason why we must use any and all methods to prevent it from being built and to take a hard look at any alternative locations offered in the future!

New Talk Radio Show Comes To The Low Country

A new online conservative talk radio premiered in Beaufort on Tuesday, August 10th called “Southern Sense”.  Operated by Jani and Ann Ubelis of Lady’s Island, they launched the new site with the intention of giving the Low Country and South Carolina a voice.  For their first show they interviewed Judge Murray M. Silver, retired of Hilton Head.  Judge Silver was a prominent civil rights attorney in Atlanta and appointed to the bench by President Jimmy Carter.  He is the author of the book, “Daddy King and Me” and the online blog, “LegalEagle”.  Judge Silver’s book is currently on sale at Bay Street Traders where he will be signing his book on September 12th from 2pm to 4pm along with Lenny McAllister, author of “Diary of a Mad Black P.Y.C. (Proud Young Conservative)”.  Both Judge Silver and Lenny McAllister will be guest speakers at the Beaufort Tea Parties September 12th Rally in the Henry C.Chambers Waterfront Park at 1pm.  Details of the event can be found on Tea Party web site at http://BeaufortTeaParty.webs.com .

Through online social networking Ann Ubelis has built a following which encouraged her and her husband to start the radio program.  She credits this networking for giving her the opportunity to meet people such as Judge Silver and Lenny McAllister.  This Tuesday, August 17th, “Southern Sense” will interview both Jane Kenny of the Bluffton Tea Party and Rowena Booker of the South Carolina Black Conservative Movement together.  Ms. Ubelis is co-founder of the Beaufort Tea Party and it’s web master, which will make Tuesday’s program fun and interesting.  Starting Friday, August 20th “Southern Sense” will initiate “Freaky Friday” where they will take caller and allow people to speak out on the weeks events, opinion pieces and prominent issues.  Callers can reach the show at 917-889-3675 during their broadcast times.  To listen in go to http://www.BlogTalkRadio-southern-sense  from 2pm to 3pm on Tuesdays and Fridays.  Don’t worry if you can’t tune-in live.  Simply go to the web site at anytime and you can listen at your leisure or download it to iTunes or your iPod.

What’s in the future?  Jani & Ann Ubelis are hoping to reach out to local musicians and authors to feature their original works on the program.  Anyone interested can reach them at SouthernSense@hotmail.com .
