Mark Sanford, Boeing jobs and Conservative Apathy
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | May 5th at 02:42 PM |
The First Congressional District of this gamecock’s native state will deserve the Daily (labor union-funded-anti-Boeing-jobs) Show that Stephen Colbert’s sister would co-host with fellow Democrats in Congress if too many South Carolina Low Country conservatives cry over Argentina on Tuesday instead of voting to return Mark Sanford to the House seat he held from 1995-2001. Never a fan of the flaky former anti-pork crusader when he last represented Charleston | Read More »
One vote can make S.C. Republican only black member of U.S.Senate
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | December 6th at 03:08 PM |
Sen. Jim DeMint’s resignation to accept the presidency of the Heritage Foundation opens the door for Palmetto State Governor to appoint Rep. Tim Scott to replace him replacement in January. Soon after President Barack Obama was re-elected, prominent liberals denounced those that voted against him as racist by comparing the red state/blue state divide on the electoral map of the Election of 2012 with the | Read More »
Obama executive order expedites dredging of Charleston and other eastern ports
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | August 11th at 04:27 PM |
So, why not expedite Keystone Pipeline and stop closing coal power plants? Georgians, South Carolinians and their respective Republican governors got early Christmas presents from an unlikely Democratic Party source last week when President Barack Obama agreed to waive further application of federal environmental rules in order to expedite the dredging of several U.S. ports, including those at Savannah and Charleston, S.C. The dredging is needed so | Read More »
SC teaches its gamecock a lesson: Newt is acceptable
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | January 21st at 08:35 PM |
Our native state teaches the GOP and its now Stone Mountain of Georgia-roosted gamecock a lesson: Newt is acceptable to tea partier conservatives Mike DeVine Law Gamecock is humbled. That so many voters that have earned my respect for so many years have chosen to support Newt Gingrich over Mitt Romney convinces me that Mitt is not so much better than Newt, that a vote | Read More »
No tea partiers remain and Newt could lose to Barack
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | January 20th at 11:23 AM |
Babe Ruth’s homers were prodigious but Hank Aaron hit more I well remember the good old days, way back in 2011, when Mitt Romney was lauded for being the great debater among those boys (and Michelle Bachmann) of Summer. Thus is the ephemeral nature of debate moments and home runs; much as was the hope for a tea partier conservative GOP presidential nominee. Winter and | Read More »
The SC GOP Primary: Vultures, capitalists, evangelicals and gamecocks
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | January 16th at 10:39 AM |
Palmetto State poised for pragmatic pick over preening vulture anti-capitalists South Carolinians have seen too many shuttered textile plants never visited by Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital to fall for Newt-Perry slurs that blame the buyers of companies already failing due to the internal policies of the sellers or external policies of governments. Vultures eat the dead. Bain, under Romney, saved jobs worth saving in the private | Read More »
Obama DOJ thinks S.C. Blacks too stupid to get photo IDs?
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | December 28th at 02:14 PM |
The Palmetto State’s new law actually provides free state-issued photo identification cards to all that need them just like the laws of all the other states with such laws that the Department of Justice either pre-cleared or decided not to contest. So what is the difference between the South Carolina law as opposed to the laws of Georgia (also upheld by their state’s highest court), that DOJ approved and Indiana (also upheld by | Read More »

Fifth annual Braves-Gamecock Ode to the late radio pigskin prognosticator, Leonard Postero aka “Leonard Postosties” of Athens, Georgia that thanks God for: the return of college football; the mostly non-rushing but still enjoyable NFL version of same; and the Vernal Equinox-induced cooler weather.

Obama treats job creation in the South as de facto unfair labor practice
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | June 3rd at 12:52 PM |
The creation of non-union Boeing jobs in South Carolina as the firing on Fort Sumter When Citadel cadets invited a War of Northern Aggression led by Abner Doubleday 150 years ago last April, they knew that the firing of canon balls at federal troops on a federal fort in Charleston Harbor was illegal in Lincoln’s eyes, if not their nascent Confederate nation’s. The First and | Read More »
Black white-flight from Obamavilles

The beginning of the end of pathological Democratic Party separateness For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. – Luke 12:34 (ESV) Before Barack Hussein Obama, there was Lyndon Baines Johnson and 45 years of white guilt/race card-playing victimization monogamy. In the third year after white folks purged the guilt and gave the first Hawaiian-born (and defended by $5 Million lawyers), mixed-race, | Read More »
Why I didn’t know Roger Milliken was as a civil rights hero in my own hometown
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | February 13th at 07:15 PM |
He was a Republican, that’s why. Born in Spartanburg, South Carolina to parents that played significant roles in the integration of little league sports and Cub Scouts there in the 1960s and 70s; I earned a B.A. from and taught at its Wofford College; was an activist and official in the county Democratic Party throughout the 1980s and 90s; and hired some of the first | Read More »

South Carolina as King’s dream, USC’s Omaha dream and gamecock dreams Redstate made real five years ago
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | June 26th at 07:25 AM |
Conservative character-content voters shame Democrats’ race-based identity politics The Powers That Be (Neil) report that the non-artist variously known as gamecock, Mike DeVine, DeVine Law and Cockstradamus has been “registered” at Redstate for exactly 5.0 years. Drudge failed to pick up the story, but the anniversary of the registered birth of “gamecock” and my native Palmetto State’s recent conservative character-based election triumph, reminded me of | Read More »
Intellectual snobbery and non-Greene votes of elected Democrats
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | June 19th at 11:10 AM |
We don’t elect congressmen to entertain us with intellectual repartee on Meet the Press. Or at least we shouldn’t. We elect members of the House and Senate to vote yea or nay on relatively easy choices of laws that affect our lives on war and our wallets. Literally over 95% of all elected Democrats in DC have voted for all of the Obama agenda that | Read More »
Defeated good ole white Christian SC establishment boy endorses Haley
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | June 18th at 09:35 AM |
The dangers of anti-Southern, anti-Christian, anti-male assumptions and stereotyping only makes the assumer look like a bigot, not me (exception to the “assume” rule) For those that have been piling on my native state over a few recalcitrant boors and one name-caller despite the fact that Haley won the white, male and Christian vote: Attorney General Henry McMaster will join former gubernatorial rival Nikki Haley | Read More »
Graham unwittingly gets liberal admissions against Cap and Trade via NYT editorial
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 2nd at 11:55 AM |
Post-2000 conservative epiphany, I have come to realize that many of the leaders of my former Democratic Party must not really care for the poor given their denial of the poor boats lifted by Reaganite supply side economic policies and given their continuing advocacy of proven failed liberal policies since the 1960s. [See * at end of column for background.] Even while an activist Democratic | Read More »
Will President Obama kill Carolina oil drilling jobs?
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | January 22nd at 03:39 PM |
Last Saturday, the federal government approved sales of offshore plots for oil drilling off the North and South Carolina coasts: The Carolinas’ coast is included in areas a federal agency proposed Friday for possible oil and gas drilling.
