Liberal legacy media authors have been making the case lately that South Carolina’s tax burden is one of the lowest in the nation.
Really?
Really …
“South Carolina’s tax collections are the lowest in the nation, at $1,476.50 per capita,” writes leftist editorial writer Cindi Ross Scoppe of The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper, a consistent champion for higher [...]
Tax Facts: Don’t Forget SC Is Poor
Can South Carolina’s Legislative State Ever Be Fixed?
IT’S NOT AS SIMPLE AS SOME WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE
By Jimmy G. Wiles || A month ago Cindi Ross Scoppe, associate editor of The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper, devoted her Sunday column to an expose of South Carolina’s “Legislative State.” Every South Carolina voter should have read her column.
Unfortunately, because of U.S. Senator Jim DeMint’s [...]
The Absolute Dumbest Thing You Will Read This Week
THANK YOU, PIPPI
S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley is doing some damage control with members of the mainstream media this week in the wake of an unprecedented security breach within her administration – one that has exposed millions of South Carolina taxpayers’ personal information to cyber thieves.
And while the governor hasn’t called our founding editor yet, we’re [...]
Pippi Wrongstockings Pwns The Governor
TAKE THAT, TRIKKI NIKKI
We rarely agree with anything written by The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper’s lead editorial writer Cindi Ross Scoppe (a.k.a. Pippi Wrongstockings). Why not? Because by and large she’s nothing but a broken record for our state’s failed status quo – particularly our worst-in-the-nation public school system.
According to Pippi … err, Cindi … everything [...]
Wrongstockings In The Wild
When she’s not shilling for the state’s failed status quo or making excuses for her paper’s establishment coddling reporters, editorial writer Cindi Scoppe (a.k.a. Pippi Wrongstockings) is all about bringing her Skittles-themed fashion sense to the S.C. State House.
And no, pink ballet flats have never looked that hot before …
(Swoon).
Anyway before everyone jumps at once [...]
“Pippi Wrongstockings” On Ken Ard
Ah, memories …
While the newsroom at The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper was busy ignoring information that would have painted former S.C. Lt. Gov. Ken Ard in an unflattering light, the lead writer for the paper’s editorial board was busy heaping praise on this corrupt “Republican in Name Only.”
“He’s the type of person we need to [...]
Pippi Wrongstockings: Huntsman Is “Gay”
Editorial page editor Cindi Ross Scoppe of The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper has been dead wrong so many occasions that this website has taken to calling her “Pippi Wrongstockings.”
Of course Pippi’s never screwed the pooch quite like she did this week – when her newspaper endorsed former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman’s 2012 presidential campaign (only [...]
Nikki Haley: Free Fallin’
“She’s a good girl, crazy ’bout Elvis …”
Err, sorry … that’s clearly not a reference to the subject of this post, S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley. She’s obviously a bad girl … which is why she’s “Free Fallin,” and not in a good way.
In the four days since a Winthrop University poll showed Haley’s approval rating [...]
“Dumb” Spiro Spero
One of South Carolina’s two government mottos (we duplicate everything in this state, don’t we?) is Dum spiro spero, which is a Latin quote widely-attributed to the Roman philosopher Cicero.
It means “while I breathe, I hope.”
Well, we certainly hope that South Carolinians aren’t holding their breath …
With its high unemployment and low test scores, high [...]
Wrongstockings “Taxing” Haley
The fact that liberal opinion writer Cindi Ross Scoppe (a.k.a. “Pippi Wrongstockings”) is ripping into GOP gubernatorial nominee Nikki Haley isn’t surprising … that’s her modus operandi in general elections, people. Rip the Republican. Just like her m.o. in GOP primaries is to rip the conservative.
What is surprising? The fact that Haley deserves it …
Like [...]
Pippi Just Called Us Racists
While S.C. Sen. Robert Ford has made it quite clear that he is “not pussyfooting” around in his support of parental choice, the inevitable attack piece from the crumbling media empire over at La Socialista (a.k.a. The State newspaper) is still into pussyfooting.
In fact, it pussyfoots pretty close to calling everybody involved in the parental [...]
