If your Mayor, the Governor, your US Senator … the local CEO of XYZ public institution … your Church leader … if they had a DRAG QUEEN at their “Christmas Party” … there should be hell to pay.
Our ELECTED OFFICIALS should be held to the HIGHEST STANDARD … right?
We do all we can to PROTECT CHILDREN. We work to expose PORN books in our public libraries and schools. We protest DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR at our libraries. The Republican Platform specifically promotes Traditional Family Values. Ever wonder why it is so hard to fix these thing??? Maybe it is because the RINOs do not want things to change!!! By large numbers South Carolinians oppose the indoctrination of children … but our elected officials keep allowing it. In fact, recently here in Greenville, our County Council “Republicans” voted 7 to 3 (with 2 democrats – so 9 to 3) to DO NOTHING about the PORN BOOKS in our Greenville County Public Libraries. It was eye opening for SC Patriots!!! Well, this might help everyone understand why. A few weeks ago, the SC House Reading Clerk, a legislatively elected position, sent out the below “Christmas Party” invitation. Reportedly mailed it using the SC House membership list(s). The Christmas Party entertainment … Patti O’Furniture … a Charleston based DRAG QUEEN.
You really can’t make this stuff up!!!!
Now granted, we really do not care what people do in private … but when you are an LEGISLATIVELY ELECTED OFFICE HOLDER … and you were ELECTED by a supermajority of REPUBLICANS … and when you have POLICY MAKING INFLUENCE (the Reading Clerk is a powerful position in the SC House) … and when you think it is OK to invite REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS to a DRAG QUEEN SHOW at your home … and worse, you support entertainers who promote DRAG EVENTS TO CHILDREN … it is time to speak up.
The elected Reading Clerk … has been there for 20 years!!! He was actually in the SC House as an elected official for 8 year prior to that!!! Do these “Republicans” not “get it”??? You can not do these things!!! Citizens look for you to be a LEADER … not a proponent of DRAG QUEENS.
But the real problem here … THEY ALL KNEW!!! Well, maybe not the newly elected officials, but all the incumbents … they tell us it has been known forever … and NOBODY said a thing before now?!?!?!
SO … why are our ELECTED “Republicans” tolerating this???
DID YOUR SC HOUSE REP SUPPORT THIS??? Did they go to the Christmas DRAG SHOW???
Find your Legislator in the SC House.CALL / EMAIL THEM!!! Ask them if they attended the Reading Clerks DRAG QUEEN Christmas Party? Has no one asked these question before??? Never in the past 20+/- years??? Let us know what you hear!!!
They ALL knew … including the SCGOP … and they turned a blind eye!!!
As we head into the 2026 South Carolina Primaries next June 9th, Republican (and Democrat) voters will be faced with picking which Republican (or Democrat) they want to represent them in the general election. It will be a choice we each have to make among the available options … the 2, 3 or 5 candidates that filed and are on the ballot … and there is no “None Of The Above” option. Sure, you don’t have to vote … but don’t complain later when you sat out the election.
We are seeing already … the jockeying by political consultants and their operatives to push their candidate (and tear down the opponents) … and the “PERFECTIONISTS” that complain about every candidate, but offer no solutions (and are not willing to run for office themselves).
A THOUGHTFUL APPROACH: Selection of a candidate to support is not easy. None of them are perfect, and how much can you really believe from what you hear on the campaign trail. What we like to encourage is that everyone think critically and logically about candidates and their campaigns, and steer clear as best you can of the emotional knee-jerk reactions that often dominate the discussions.
IT IS NOT JUST THE CANDIDATE – LOOK AT THEIR TEAM: While it’s tempting to focus solely on the candidate, it’s equally important to examine the people they surround themselves with. If you’re unaware of a candidate’s consultants (and their motivations), staff (and their roles), or the candidate’s supporters (who will inevitable have the ear of the candidate), it’s wise to hold off on offering your support. Ultimately, it’s not just about the candidate—it’s about their TEAM (or the “baggage” that comes with them).
We like to prioritize two key qualities when evaluating candidates:
(#1) Electability: A candidate (a) willing to run for office and (b) capable of winning. You may know the “perfect” person, but if they won’t run for office or are not capable of winning … what good are they?
(#2) Collaboration and Integrity: A candidate open to working with The People, with the grassroots, willing to listen, eager to include The People as part of their TEAM, and genuinely committed to doing what’s objectively right for the people—not just themselves (or their monied special interest backers). Here is where experience and judgment comes into consideration because you really don’t know what a candidate might do once elected. We have helped candidates get elected – and then never spoken with them again (not by our choice). Being lied to is a hard lesson to learn.
This process of selecting a candidate to back is both an art and a science, and while we may never find the “perfect” candidate, we can identify and support those who meet these two criteria and give us the best odds of promoting the conservative cause … at least until the next election when we will have another chance to try again.
THE TRUMP OF 2016: Reflecting on the field of “candidates” in 2016 … and the original “candidate” DONALD J. TRUMP … I believe that original candidate TRUMP, embodied these qualities, and that approach has proven effective in helping Save America.
STOP LOOKING FOR A “POLITICAL SAVIOR”: Most importantly, let’s remember, no candidate will save us. There is only one true “Savior”, and He is not running for office. Our work continues, so don’t think you are off the hook if your person gets elected. But having the right people – dedicated TEAM players – in elected positions from top to bottom can make all the difference.
Be smart … be logical … don’t be emotional … and don’t just complain, complain, complain.
