God Bless my beloved Great Palmetto State.

Well, actually, Strom Thurmond gave that some thought and helped us plan ahead. You see, ole Strom used to remind us all the time, back in the day (before cells phones and video cameras) that one day there would be another civil war because the federal government, by nature, would always get too big for its britches.

So Strom used his power on various military and ways and means commissions to make sure we would be better prepared the next time around ... not just here but all around the South.

Here in SC particularly you ask?

Well, we've got the largest training base in the country in Fort Jackson.

We've got the busiest Airforce combat readiness station in Sumter AF Base.

We've got Camp Legune.

We've got Fort Bragg just across the border .... I served there and still return for reunions every year during All-American week ... and what most people are unaware of is that while all 50 states are represented the great majority of paratroops up there are from the South and even those who are not are mostly very Conservative.

Here in SC, right in downtown Columbia, we have FN Manufacturing ... you know, where all the small arms for our military are made?

We've got SOPAKCO out in Mullens ... you know, where all those MREs are made?

We've got Force Protection down in Strom's hometown of Edgefield ... you know, where all those up armored vehicles are made ... oh, yeah, and where the latest drone technology is being fine tuned as well as much of the latest explosive, bomb tech, work is being done.

We've got Charleston Naval Shipyard.

Charleston Airforce Base.

Palmetto State Armory who could outfit an entire division with small arms and ammo.

Bell Helicopter in Greenville.

We are the tire producing capital of the United States. Wanna know why tires are important?

The list goes on and on. Like Strom always told us ... next time we will not run out of arms or chow or men.

SC has the largest per capita population of retired vets as well ... and they choose to retire here for a reason. Vets are the fastest growing segement of our population and have been for the past decade.

SC will do just fine if push comes to shove.

We've always danced to a different tune in this state ... we do not like feds here as a whole.

And FWIW our local Sheriff, and many others in this state ... some which I know personally, have already publicly stated they will never enforce a confiscation order.

So the only way the feds could come in here and do it would be to try with U.N. troops ... and that would most definitely start a war and they know it.

First gallant South Carolina
Nobly made the stand,
Then came Alabama,
Who took her by the hand.
Next quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida
All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star. CHORUS
