Dear Friends,

Last Wednesday, Judge Vaughn R. Walker, of the US District Court of Northern California, took his place as judge-turned-legislator when he ruled against California’s Proposition 8 amendment. In a 2008 ballot referendum, the people of California resoundingly passed Proposition 8, a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman. Though the people of California sided with a thousand years of recorded human history, the hubris of one unelected judge has the capacity to drown-out the voice of the people.

If the lawsuit brought against Proposition 8, which led to Judge Vaughn’s ruling, is upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, it would nullify 45 individual state marriage laws. Such a decision would have the same effect on state marriage laws that Roe v. Wade had on state abortion laws. Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council characterized it as “the Roe v. Wade of same-sex marriage.” Not only is Judge Vaughn’s ruling a blatant attack on the will of the people, and the institution of marriage, but an affront to the 10th amendment. Since when do states not retain the right to determine under what conditions they’ll issue marriage licenses? Defining marriage is not an issue delegated to the Federal Government, nor to the courts, by the Constitution; therefore, under the 10th amendment, the definition of marriage is a state issue.

Many folks on the left will try and attack me as being hypocritical, given my past support of a federal marriage amendment. Some folks have accused me of trying to have it both ways: opposing federal nullification of state laws, while supporting a federal marriage amendment. My position, however, is not inconsistent and is, in fact, necessitated by the activism of courts like that of Judge Walker. The great irony in the fight for traditional marriage is that a constitutional amendment, at the federal level, is the only way to ensure that unelected judges don’t attempt to nullify state laws. This should be a states’ rights issue; however, due to continued court decisions imposing a radical redefinition of marriage, state laws are insufficient.

Judge Walker’s striking of California’s citizen-approved marriage amendment proves that even strong laws, like the one we have here in South Carolina, are in danger. The California marriage amendment was an amendment to their state constitution, exactly like the one we passed here in the Palmetto State several years ago. The writing’s on the wall: if the United States Supreme Court upholds Judge Walker’s ruling, we’re looking at the Roe v. Wade of marriage. I’d encourage you all to take a look at www.senateconservatives.com and help Senator DeMint elect conservative Senators from states across the Nation. We’re going to need a strong Republican Congress, and a conservative Senate, to stand against the coming judicial tide. Marriage in America is on the line.

Over the past several decades, the line between being pro-market and pro-business has become obfuscated to the point of indifference. Politicians on the right and left brandish their “job creating” bona fides, and spout-off a laundry list of projects they’ve promoted. On the left, it is common knowledge that the Keynesian philosophy of a government-driven economy is the norm. What’s surprising is that many on the right roll right along with Keynesianism in camouflage. The consequence is an artificial business and social culture, which is driven more by who has the lobbying dollars, than who has labored the hardest. Individuals aren’t the only recipients of welfare in this Country, there’s a broad range of industries living off the public dole as well.

Taxpayer-financed economic development corporations undermine the free-market system as effectively as a stimulus package. The philosophy behind both is the same: that the government, or government-sponsored entity, can control capital better than the people who create it. Representative Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said it best in a recent interview: “The problem we have had as a party is we have often confused being pro-market with being pro-business.” I couldn’t agree more. The current state of play has the American people choosing between Keynesian and Keynesian light. Many of our fellow Republicans have made the fundamental mistake of believing that pro-business is inherently pro-market. I’d take humble exception with this notion, as nearly all “job announcements,” by economic development agencies, take place after large sums of public money have subsidized private projects. The free-market, by definition, is “a market that is not interfered with by government constraints on transactions.” Unfortunately, this is rarely realized.

Take, for example, recent incentives packages cobbled together for Southwest Airlines. This set of “targeted incentives” was constructed to entice the company to move to South Carolina. In the case of Southwest Airlines, they decided to move to our State without the assistance of the legislature. Why? Because they believe the investment makes sense; they believe that South Carolina is a good place for them to do business. If they didn’t, the legislature was ready with a back-up plan: subsidize their ticket sales. In order to ensure that the air carrier came to our State, regardless of feasibility, the legislature was ready to subsidize its losses. They were willing to write a check, funded by the taxpayer, each year to ensure Southwest came to SC airports. This sort of corporate welfare ensures that taxes are kept high, as these type projects require funding, while our state constitution requires a balanced budget.

As the favorite projects of politicians gain public funding, small businesses from Greenville to Georgetown, Abbeville to Aiken, struggle to make ends meet. All the while, their representatives are in Columbia pledging their money to international corporations to make headlines, while they struggle to make payroll. When the SC Legislature reconvenes next winter, and the Republican Congress is seated on Capitol Hill, it is time for Republicans to be pro-market, not merely pro-business. Our free-market system and, by extension, our economic prosperity is dependent upon it.

History has borne witness to the consequences of failed courage. Neville Chamberlain lost his courage in face of naked aggression, thus inviting Hitler’s bombardments on British soil. Richard Nixon, gripped by jealousy and fear, forfeited his presidency in the name of electoral assurance. Today, Senator Lindsey Graham became the sole Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee to approve Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court of the United States. In so doing, he joined the company of failed leaders whose political pragmatism trumped personal conviction. Just as Neville Chamberlain’s appeasing, and Richard Nixon’s paranoia, brought long-term consequences, so Graham’s vote for Elena Kagan will affect a generation of jurisprudence. While citing that “elections have consequences,” Graham voted to subvert the entire process of elections by appointing a judicial activist to the highest court in the land.

A cursory glance at Elena Kagan’s legal career reveals her serious sense of hostility for American Values, and most Americans. From crafting President Bill Clinton’s defeat of a partial birth abortion ban in 1997, to her support of Harvard University’s ban on military recruiters, Elena Kagan has proven to the American People whose side she’s on, and it’s not theirs. Though she has no experience as a judge, the positions she’s taken in a long legal career illustrate her inclination to use the courts to carry out ideological ends. As it’s the constitutional role of the court to interpret, not make, law, it’s more than a tad ironic that Senator Graham cites the Constitution as his reason for approving Solicitor Kagan. The inconsistency of such reasoning is analogous to Vice President Biden’s assertion that America had to “keep spending to keep from going bankrupt.”

In the book of James, the question is rhetorically asked “can both fresh and salt water flow from the same spring?” Don’t tell James, but Senator Graham’s sure hoping so. His argument that he’s simply following the Constitution springs from the “advice and consent” responsibility of the Senate. Article II, Section II, Clause II of the U.S. Constitution charges the Senate with the role of “advice and consent” to the President on Supreme Court nominees. In this capacity, the Senate must approve the President’s nominee before he or she may be seated on the Court. The intent was to have the Senate check the power of the president, thus ensuring that any Supreme Court justice would be capable, indeed committed, to upholding the Constitution.

Elena Kagan’s willingness to undermine the natural and unalienable rights of American Citizens qualifies her as a threat to the Constitution. If Senator Graham were really worried about upholding the Constitution, instead of preserving his darling status on “Meet the Press,” he’d oppose this nominee post-haste. Unfortunately for the American People, Senator Graham has chosen to say one thing and do another. Too bad he claimed to support the Constitution before undermining it, as opposed to claiming not to support it while upholding it.

My prayer is that the people of South Carolina will show Senator Graham the meaning of “elections have consequences” in 2014.

In 1889 Fredrick Nietzsche posed a question for which we’re still receiving the answer: “What will we do as the Earth is set loose from its sun?” This thought provoking question was part of Nietzsche’s parable on the “death of God.” Of course, Nietzsche wasn’t arguing that God had physically died so much as He had become irrelevant. It is, as Chuck Colson characterized, “not because He doesn’t exist, but that we live, play, procreate, govern, and die as though He doesn’t.” As it turns out, the sun from which we’ve become detached is, in actuality, the Creator of light.

Modern American politics illustrates this concept with depressing clarity. We are perilously close to abolishing God as our Nation’s ultimate lawgiver, and grantor of inalienable rights. On the far left, we see a dangerous deference to the state as the origin and defender of our basic liberties. On the right, we see a reaction that suggests that “We the People” are the guarantors of our own rights. In this case, both the right and the left are wrong, and the consequences for both shall be equal and absolute tyranny. The reason: each ideology has, at its core, the belief that people, or at least a group of people, ultimately determine right from wrong. Each effectively suggests that the rights of man come from man.

Now, before you all miss my point, allow me to clarify that I’m a small-government conservative. I believe that “We the People” ought to govern our own affairs, improve our own finances, and raise our own families without interference from the state. We need to roll-back spending, slash deficits, shrink the size of government and return power to the people; however, we must not abandon our consensus social principles in the process. Straight Libertarianism is as great a threat to freedom and free markets as is big-government paternalism. Both approaches are, at their very core, based on the belief that man is inherently good. If history has taught us anything, it’s that humans are capable of great atrocity and hatred.

American Exceptionalism is rooted in our Judeo-Christian heritage, which provides the cultural conditions necessary for freedom. Consensus values inform the larger social consciousness, thus limiting our need for excessive laws and regulation. This, in turn, leads to a flourishing freedom that unleashes the entrepreneurial spirit, drives innovation & economic expansion, and provides a framework for millions of Americans to pursue happiness. In the current debate over our Country’s future, conservatives must not take the Mitch Daniels (GOP Gov of Indiana) approach of focusing exclusively on economic policy, while ignoring cultural issues. A strong cultural foundation is necessary for economic prosperity.

Some time ago, Representative Nikki Haley wrote an article for our CEO Round Table newsletter, EnableSC, entitled “Families First.” In this timely article, she argued that strong families reduce the role, indeed the need, of the state. This kind of consistent reasoning on the relationship between economic and social issues is required to restore our Constitutional framework, natural rights, and economic strength. Going down a path of economics-only libertarianism will lead to the same destination as big-government paternalism: a land of man-made rights creeping ever closer to tyranny. Soulless policy is soulless policy, regardless if it’s right or left. Let’s reduce the size of government, thus reclaiming South Carolina and America, by rightly understanding that we can’t set ourselves loose from our sun: the Truth of God.

During election years like this one we’re often treated to a steady stream of sound bites and promises about returning prosperity to South Carolina, to America. Folks have rightly become pretty skeptical about politicians’ serving-up a laundry list of “I’ll do yas,” which can never really get “done.” What we need are leaders who’ll tell us the truth: that government doesn’t hold the answers the world is waiting for.

In 2010, we need folks to stand-up and tell us that they can’t create jobs in Columbia or Washington, but that they’ll get out of the way of those who can. In his bestselling book Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One, Dr. Thomas Sowell illustrates the disconnect between politics and economic policy. Particularly revealing was his discussion of the politicians’ search for significance.

How many times have you seen a Governor or Senator at the opening of a re-paved road? How many times have you seen a Congressman or Councilwoman cutting a ribbon at a business started by private capital vs. government hand-outs? The answer: not too many. There’s a reason why our government in Columbia and Washington favors Keynesian economics: it ensures they make the headlines. The reason American has a “rust belt” is that state and local politicians, at the height of the auto industry and manufacturing, decided to hike taxes to heighten their political aspirations. They put the long-term prosperity of their constituents behind their own electoral career.

There’s an itch that most politicians develop to be seen “doing.” They feel that their chances of getting reelected go-up when they “do something,” which often is worse than if they hadn’t. Let’s take, for comparative purposes, the stock market crashes of 1929 and 1987. Each took place in October, and each were equally steep in their decline; however, one resulting in the great depression, the other in an economic boom. Now, why is that? Why did two situations, so very similar in structure, have such varied outcomes? The answer is the character of the men at the helm. In 1929 Herbert Hoover felt the need to “do something,” which meant he took from the job creators to look like he was creating jobs. Ronald Reagan, in 1987, had a cup of coffee after dinner and went to bed. Did that make Reagan irresponsible? Sure, if you’d asked the New York Times. If you asked the other 250 millions Americans at the time, I’m sure they liked it better than 1929!

The conclusion is that political leaders love to butcher the Golden Goose (that is, the private sector) to curry public favor. This strategy works, however, only if you can keep it from dying until after the next election cycle. The current Congress killed the goose shortly after taking office. Now they’re just left with feathers in their hats and blood on their hands. I hope the goose was worth it.

While they were deliberating an airline incentives bill in the SC Senate, Southwest announced that they’d begin service to Charleston and Greenville by 2011. In an incredibly illustrative example of the self-importance of big-government believers, the airline decided to come to the Palmetto State before SC Senators passed their incentives package, touted as the only way to attract major air carriers to the state. How many times have we heard these sorts of promises before? We’ve been told that the only way South Carolina can get a hand-up is to give a hand-out. That’s the sort of self-defeated thinking that’s wrecking our economy and ruining our culture.

I’ve spent some time working in the banking industry, and I’ve observed that when banks don’t believe in themselves, they make horrible decisions with devastating consequences. For example, a bank where a number of my friends have worked always believed their only competitive advantage was reduced rates and lower credit standards. At first, it appeared this strategy would work, as the bank attracted customers from some of their more steady competitors. Nevertheless, as the current economic downturn ensued, problems facing the self doubting institution compounded quickly. The bank, ultimately, failed to be profitable because it failed to develop a real competitive advantage.

The story of our State, up to the present, has been largely the same. Instead of working to address the underlying issues that hamper our State’s prosperity, the legislature has sought solutions that are half-measures. Returning to the bank example, if the institution had fought to improve its service offering, and its customer relationships, pricing wouldn’t have been its only selling point. The same is true of SC. We should never give away $ millions of taxpayer dollars to prop-up airlines and bail-out businesses. Instead, we ought to believe in the promise of the Palmetto State, not her government.

The decision by Southwest today illustrates that, oftentimes, others believe in our State more than we do. I’m proud of South Carolina, her culture and heritage, her spirit of innovation and optimism. I’m confident that she can succeed without her government pillaging her people to prop-up companies that aren’t interested in us for who we are. It’s high time to stand-up for SC’s greatness and stop giving away the store to attract every business Columbia decides to recruit. The casualty of continued central planning, such as airline subsidies, is no less than our culture. We ought to create an environment where business owners who want to be in SC have an environment conducive to their success. That way, our State has home-grown businesses and out-of-state investors, who are interested in our culture and economy. We don’t need businesses to move here just because they can’t say no to a massive taxpayer funded payday.

It’s no secret that public education isn’t South Carolina’s strong point. What to do about it has become a perennial debate and consistent campaign theme, with most solutions centering on cash. For most of the past two decades, South Carolinians have been battered by news of an education system that’s going from bad to worse, with seemingly no solution. All the while the answer has been before us, but we’ve ignored the obvious.

As most of y’all know, I’m beyond proud of our State. Few parts of this great Country have the sense of self, and the pride of culture, that has come to define South Carolina. The Palmetto State is home to patriots and statesmen who fight for freedom and stand on faith. In a State with such a culture, it is incomprehensible that we’ve consistently tried to reform education without the key ingredient of our identity: liberty. Educational reform has failed because the proposed “solutions” gave power to state government, not citizens.

I’m a firm believer that parental involvement is the key to reforming education. Unfortunately, the entrenched special interests, who control education policy in our state, have taken deliberate and consistent steps to separate parents from the education of their children. In so doing, the SC Department of Education has undermined their single greatest ally in educational improvement: the family.

This separation has succeeded because folks in Columbia have argued that more public funding, and greater state control, is required to revitalize the education system. Out of touch politicians and pundits believe that they, not parents, know what’s best for SC’s children. This philosophy of big government control is at the heart of the liberal agenda, which has manifest itself in a multitude of ways ranging from bank bailouts to healthcare takeovers. The fight for education isn’t, ultimately, over education. It’s all about freedom.

It’s now obvious that money isn’t the answer. In the past three years, South Carolina has spent $8,533 per student, per year. This astounding figure outpaces all but two of our southeastern sister states, while we lag all but Mississippi in educational achievement. The time has come to tell politicians in Columbia the same thing we’re telling them in Washington: when it comes to our faith, our families and our freedom, we know what’s best for us. In order to have true reform in education, we’ll have to reform the approach. It’s time to honor our State’s history of liberty, and lead the fight to ensure that power resides with the people.

Here is information on our upcoming “Freedom in Education” forum. This exciting, free event will be held on the beautiful campus of the Blue Ridge Christian Academy, in northern Greenville County, Friday evening, April 30th at 6:30pm.

The program will focus on the next major front in the fight for freedom: education. We’ll address South Carolina’s education crisis and how faith based, free-market, solutions are the answer for true reform. Our invited speakers include several Republican candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor, GOP Candidate for SC Education Superintendent Brent Nelson and the Director of Greenville Tech’s Brashier Campus, Dr. Chuck Morton.

This is the first installment in a series of two articles we’ll be providing on education, in preparation for our forum. We hope you’ll join us in the fight for true educational reform…the freedom of more than teachers and students is at stake.

God Bless,

In South Carolina our motto, as you’ve heard me repeat often, is “Dum Spiro Spero,” translated “While I breath, I hope.” That spirit of hope and purpose has guided our State since the first shots of the Revolutionary War to the current struggle for the soul of our Country. Tonight, I’d humbly submit to you that this spirit of hope has always existed in our land because of our deep-seated faith that God is the Provider of our freedoms and our future.

That’s why, as we observe Easter, I’d ask y’all to direct your hopes and dreams for this life, and the next, on the Author of Liberty, Jesus Christ. In thinking of what I wanted to say to you this evening, it crossed my mind how our State motto may best read “Dum Is Spiro Spero,” or “While He Breathes, I hope.”

It is the goal of the CEO Round Table of South Carolina to bring His Truth and His hope to the Palmetto State. Let us always remember the words of C.S. Lewis, “If you aim for Heaven, you’ll get Earth thrown-in as well…if you aim for Earth, you’ll miss both.

God Bless You, Happy Easter…

“Arise My Love” by Newsong

Defy Disillusionment:

Over the past week I’ve carefully watched the response of folks across South Carolina, indeed the nation, to the forced passage of national healthcare. The reaction has run the gambit of human emotion, from total disillusionment to the false notion that the right political strategy can save the day. The problem with both of the above extremes is that they’re based on human wisdom and ability. I’d humbly suggest that the challenge to our way of life, manifested in a socialist agenda, is rooted in secularism.

Many of my friends think I’m stretching it to talk about healthcare coverage with spiritual conviction. Most feel that this is merely an issue of taxes and spending, deficits and debt, rather than a matter of the heart. To that I’d offer that taxes and spending are moral imperatives, and decisions about deficits and debt are affected by our spiritual state. You see, I believe the entire debate before us in South Carolina, in America, is not so much an economic imperative, but an issue of masters.

A rallying cry often repeated during the American Revolution was “we have no King but Jesus.” American Colonists believed that God was the source, the Grantor, of their rights. It was their opinion that governments are instituted to serve as guarantors of those rights, which they can never create or destroy. America’s greatness is found not in her economic and military might. Instead, her economic and military might is rooted in the strength of her values. I tend to agree with former Attorney General John Ashcroft who stated that “unique among the nations, America recognized the source of our character as being godly and eternal, not civic and temporal.” So, the struggle in which we find ourselves may be best described by the title of a Chuck Colson classic Kingdoms in Conflict.

The law of men is oppression; the law of the Lord is liberty. The real challenge facing America is a government that’s working to replace God as the source of the nation’s security and strength. We’ve come to the place of Israel before us: do we demand a king? Even a cursory glance at the Old Testament indicates that God tried to warn His people about the peril of power in the hands of one man. Today, the struggle is the same. Do we clamor for the king of big government, because the rest of the world demands it? Do we go the way of Old Testament Israel and choose a King for “comfort,” rather than fight for freedom? Or do we rise to the occasion of this moment and choose freedom for our families? Galatians 5 tells us that “Christ set us free that we might be free indeed.” Let us choose freedom.

When there are “Kingdoms in Conflict” avoid the temptation to become disillusioned and hopeless. When there are “Kingdoms in Conflict” pray and fight that our kingdom may reflect His.

“There is a tide in the affairs of men.” – (Julius Caesar, Act-4, Scene-3).

Those famous words from William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar have always haunted my heart as I read the rolling headlines of our day. Those words, written at the height of the Renaissance, are as accurate today as they were in Elizabethan England. There is, indeed, a tide in the affairs of men which, like the tide of the ocean, is cyclical. The ebb and flow of this human tide has determined the destiny of nations, the reign of rulers, and the presence of prosperity. This tide is the tide of Truth which, when flowing, favors freedom and, when ebbing, brings desolation.

Few classrooms focus on the rise and fall of Athens, the glory and doom of Rome, or the role of faith in the development of freedom and free markets. Nevertheless, these historical events and trends have shaped our lives so profoundly that the consequences affect us daily. Though there are many details and nuances, the major theme of the past 2,000 years of human history tells the story: when man believes there’s a God, he prospers. When man believes he is God, he is destroyed. The Athenians and the Romans scaled the heights of political prosperity and economic affluence. They did so because they believed in the concept of natural law, which is given by Deity, and secures the rights of all citizens. Most notable among the ancient statesmen is Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman Governor, who believed that all human law must be based on God’s law.

Cicero, in his genius, grasped the principle that defines free societies: nations must be states of law that transcend men. In short, any nation which based its law on Divine Revelation (i.e. – the Ten Commandments, and the rights to life and liberty) would flourish in freedom. By contrast, any nation which made up law as it went would suffer the fate of fools, and be relegated to the ash-heap of history. Cicero, before the Roman Senate, told a story of robbers who, by virtue of an elected “legislature of thieves,” voted that it was no longer illegal to steal. He went on to say that any free citizen would call this preposterous, until they realized that their own government was doing much the same.

My friend, the spirit of America, indeed of South Carolina, is based on the belief that government is set-up to preserve the natural rights of men. Unfortunately, politicians on both sides of the political aisle have taken to creating of “legislature of thieves,” which attempts to justify their thievery by voting it virtuous. The “tide in the affairs of men” is rolling, and it will be the determination of our time that we are one nation under God, not one nation under men. The tide of human history favors freedom, and that tide is shaped by the belief that “blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”

America can, at its best, be summed-up in one word: LIBERTY.
