“IT’S NOT A GREAT DAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA”
|| By FITSNEWS || For the first time in nearly four years, it’s not a “great day in South Carolina.” Nor will it be … until the end of the month, apparently.
That’s because S.C. governor Nikki Haley has reportedly instructed her cabinet agencies to stop answering the phone using her mandated greeting of choice.
In September 2011, Haley instructed all of her cabinet agency employees to start answering their telephones with the greeting “Hello, it’s a great day in South Carolina.”
Obviously in light of the “Holy City Massacre” – in which a 21-year-old white suspect murdered nine black churchgoers in cold blood – such a greeting is obviously far from true (assuming it ever was). In fact at the moment it’s borderline incendiary if you are a black South Carolinian. Accordingly, Haley has reportedly instructed her agencies to shelve the hokey platitude for the next ten days.
Smart move …
Haley’s greeting has been mocked, legislated against and politicized. And now it’s been put on hold … temporarily. Frankly, we’d advise the governor to disconnect it permanently.

You should take a look at the video of her “crying” when talking about the shooting, I have never seen something more fake in my life save for GrandTango pretending he knew what he was talking about.
Oh My God..!! You have seen the GrandTango?!?
Watchoo talking about.Here he be-http://www.macksf.com/Point02.jpg
Is there anything she does that you can’t find a reason to criticize her? Would you have been critical if she didn’t cry. How about if she cried uncontrollably? Do you have to judge even her crying? Who would want to be governor, when even your crying is judged critically?
She never cried, she got choked up. Would you get choked up if someone you knew had just died and you could feel the pain their families must be feeling. I don’t always agree with her, but to admonish her because he got choked up during an interview. Grasping at straws.
SC had to be proud of Haley. While Obama was hating on America and calling it evil and racist-Nikki spoke to the hearts of not only South Carolinian’s but ALL of America.
I wonder if SC cabinet agency employees are allowed to audibly “snicker” after say “It’s a great day in SC”?
I usually say “My sympathies are with you for having to say that.”
That’s a great suggestion!!!
Come to think of it I haven’t heard that greeting for some time. I called SC DNR last week and didn’t hear it or the Southport DMV branch in Spartanburg a few weeks back for that matter…………..
But if I DO hear it again, I’m gonna use your retort (with your permission of course) Or I guess I could say: “Buzzman says his sympathies are with you for having to say that”!!
DNR is not a cabinet agency and thus like a few other agencies, was “immune” to having to answer with that silliness is what I was told when I asked someone there.
I just agreePER HOUR 88$@mk2

These little “customer service niceties” are usually more trouble for the employees than any good will they generate. At one time in the early part of the 2000s I had friends who worked customer service for a large company and for several weeks they had to ask at the end of each call. “Have I satisfied all your needs today.” You can imagine how that went and why it only lasted a few weeks.
Just smile your biggest smile and let it shine in your voice, “Thanks and have a great day.” Best way to end an ugly conversation with someone who just wants to argue, yet can’t get you fired.
I was lucky I didn’t have to say it, but I knew many that did including many female reps. “Have I satisfied all your needs today.” turned in to pornographic advances quickly in many cases.
Suggestion: Stick with “Thanks and have a great day!”
It turned back to thank you for calling “XXXXXXXXXXX” is there anything else I can help you with? Have a good day and thanks for calling “XXXXXXXXXXXXX”
Did you vote for Haley?
Hell, fuck, NO!
In reality…they should be saying…”It’s a shit day in S.C.”
Been wondering when that would be brought up….
I agree with FITS – the whole phoney thing needs to be canned for good!!!!
Lol. So it was still a great day after that cop shot that black guy in the back? What about when the Charleston firefighters died in the Sofa Superstore Fire? What a joke this lady is.
Deep down, what she hears when her underlings say it, is really, “It’s a great day that Nikki is my queen!”
Gov. Haley does a good job. She isn’t faultless, but has learned and is the best damn thing SC has going for it. Name one freaking member of SC Congress who could/would do better.
“Tallest midget in the circus.”
But still tallest.
With citizens like Troublebaby, midgets are the only ones interested in serving.
Chicken or the egg?
Maybe the system is the problem and not the citizen.
The system is a product of the citizens. The system will change if the populace wants to change it.
The citizens have the vote. They get what they deserve.
Ha! That you still cling to that shows you too should have no place in government or control over their lives.
They might “get what they deserve”, but they only “deserve it” for being stupid and/or gullible.
The pols themselves are despicable in every way, preying on the fears & dreams of those silly enough to believe them.
That they have superior intellect and less morals over those that elected them makes them worse than the dupes/citizens.
Should we require an IQ test to vote? They get what they deserve when they elect the same officials over and over. The people came before the system, so if the system is broken it is up to the people to fix it.
It doesn’t matter how the system came about(but I could argue that it’s never been “the people” that created it, you may or may not agree).
All that matters is what it is: A corrupt cesspool run by villainous cretin’s that suck the marrow out of a substantially stupid and significantly immoral electorate. There are no “good guys”, everyone “deserves what they get.”
If God existed I’d say he’d have a mind to pull a Sodom & Gomorrah again.
If God exists, he doesn’t care about the mistakes we make. He gave us a conscious to know right from wrong. The ability to discern.
People are the problem, there would be no system without people. Government cannot distribute wealth that taxpayers don’t willingly pay. Government has very limited abilities, IF the people stand together.
People are as diverse as the system. Equally uneducated, lazy, brilliant, hard working and everything in between. Until people change their attitudes and learn to work together. The system will never change. We are tools of the media.
“People are the problem, there would be no system without people.
Government cannot distribute wealth that taxpayers don’t willingly pay.”
I’m sorry, but you don’t seem in touch with reality. I say that not trying to be offensive- but the reality is that every day government forces a ton of people to do a lot of things they don’t want to, including pay taxes.
“People are as diverse as the system. Equally uneducated, lazy, brilliant, hard working and everything in between.”
There are always exceptions/outliers, but the average IQ remains 100 more or less, and we haven’t established a “morality” rating yet.
Average IQ 100 is questionable. The government can only distribute wealth if the people agree. The problem is we are so divided and that works for the government.
I am not offended, I just call it “Frankly”
…I’m sorry- I can’t continue.
Understand. Good night.
actually you don’t understand…but thank you.
I do. You disagree. Unwilling to discuss. You are happy with what you believe. It isn’t that we disagree. It is that you prefer your side of the story and are not willing to look at any other side right now. I understand. You’re welcome.
Tell me how the average IQ of 100 is questionable.
Average is IQ in Us is 90-100. Average IQ for other countries are higher or lower. I think it is a reasonable doubt that we currently have an average IQ of 100 across the board in SC. Or even US. The data is old. IQ measure what you can learn, not what you know.
What if I had used the words “mean” or “mode”, would that have changed your answer?
I believe you give people too much credit. IQ measures their ability to learn. The problem is most people are busy with jobs, family, and in general keeping up with their own. They don’t have time to apply that IQ to politics. They follow their favorite media source. Few have time to question it. Most sources are unreliable as a guideline. The more powerful the media, the less they use that IQ ability to learn.
If people could find a way to agree on single issues, they could accomplish, those single issues and still not vote against their conscious. Politics has become so polarized, no two people can agree on more than a few lines. I believe you and I have proven that point, while in the big picture, we might agree.
Median, smarty. Mode is most common value.
“or”
You are drinking the kool-aid or more appropriately the raita.
Mark Sanford.
Katrina Shealy ,
Katrina is far more decent woman than Jake was a man. She isn’t gubernatorial material yet.
Charleston firefighters died in the Sofa Superstore Fire on June 18, 2007 to June 19, 2007. That was 3 1/2 years before Haley was sworn in. But let’s criticize her for it anyway.
EVERYTHING is her fault. Haven’t you gotten that yet? WTF is wrong with you?
Governor Haley is the best Governor we could hope for. I don’t always agree with her, but she is fair. But….she has many racial names and should be shunned to hell and back for the sake of her name and religion. (sarcasm of course).
She is the best Governor we could hope for given the circumstances. No one can name a better, if so, we would have voted them in, not her.
She’s better than Beasley, Hodges, or Sanford.
I should have put a sarcasm alert, thought it was self explanatory. I agree she is.
I got it. I was agreeing, not arguing. I’m one of her few defenders at this site. I probably would not defend her if it wasn’t for the unfair criticism heaped on her from this site.
Good to know someone on this site does.
I probably would not criticize her so much if she EVER took responsibly for one of her massive screw-ups.
Notice the silence from the Haley critics about the recent data breaches of data of Federal employees security background ckecks. No criticism of Obama.
Not exactly a high hurtle to clear…
She doesn’t seem to have a clue. Doesn’t impress me at all. Its like she is getting on the job training and fumbling all over herself in the midst of it all. She’s a nice lady, but dumber than a box of rocks.
That stupid greeting was instituted because it was an echo of the first line uttered by Haley at the tea party rally on the capital steps, the video of which was used extensively in her campaign. In fact, the first image and sound association many of us have with her is her standing there and saying “It’s a great day fro a tea party!”
Glad they’re not using it this month. They should lose it forever.
Here’s another attractive foto of Nikki — is Will succumbing to faded memories?
Hell hath no fury as Sic Willie being scorned by Nikki.
Admission: “For the first time in nearly four years, it’s not a “great day in South Carolina.”
Anyone on this page who is serious about cleaning up corruption in SC does not give one rats turd about Grand Tango or fc, pogo, or others.
Seems one person posting under a number of aliases. We are better than this. We don’t require their approval. As soon as I know I am responding to one of them. I am putting them on mute.
If the majority of this website agree with giving them time of day, that is a choice. But you have to ask yourself, do you want to change SC or just talk silly all day to those who have nothing in common for the sake of entertainment and never really know how they might use that information. They are fringe. Most of us are not.
LMAO!!!! “SYNTwist” this is your BEST one ever!!!! You are one confused, lonely B@%t$.Holy shit and Oh My!!!!
Not even sure how to reply to you. Thought you were gone. “Oh My!!!!”
Better luck next time.
“serious about cleaning up corruption in SC “???LMAO!!!!
Real easy.You got PROOF that individuals and politicians/public officials are corrupt then put your fucking low life REAL name on it and contact the proper authorities/officials and with your allegations.
Until then, shut the fuck up.
I don’t know WTF SYNtwist is, but apparently pissed up your ass. Did you enjoy it. “Oh My!!!! ”
You sound like a fucking girl. Maybe I should demonstrate how shut the fuck up really works. Don’t bother responding, cause you panty ass isn’t up for it.
Damn.You beat women?You will fits in well here.
“You sound like a fucking girl. Maybe I should demonstrate how shut the fuck up really works.”
I just hand them a vibrator. That keeps the twats busy for hours. STFU cums natural.
Do you go by Kaitlyn, Allison, or some other IN? I like to keep my names straight so when there is a name to contact proper authorities, I know who to call out or IN.
An interesting Nikki anecdote that may reveal her true feelings:
http://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2015/06/a-glimpse-into-the-black-shriveled-hearts-of-the-republican-class-warriors
It is articles like the one you linked, that give me confidence that in spite of the so called demographics, Democrats will never dominate the political landscape for long. The Kochs and others like them do more for the poor than all the government programs combined. And they pay more than their share for those government programs. The government wants to take money and redistribute it. The Koch give 60,000 Americans jobs by creating wealth. They don’t demand money from anyone. People voluntarily give them money for the products and services they provide. If the shuts down, you hardly notice. If Koch inc.closed and others like him, you would not be filling up your car or getting food or healthcare. Tomsickle would starve and eventually be naked and homeless. You forget that many poor vote Republican because they know what misguided good intentions can mean. They see Venezuela.
Interesting no one has mentioned that Boeing gave 100k to help the families in Charleston, they also set up a fund.
8,900,000.00 +/- to go of the “incentives” they got.
Timely edits make you appear less rabid. Next time take a minute to check it over before you post. Disqus sends me the first draft.
Apologies! It’s hard to type on a Samsung phone with new comments popping up and shifting the screen.
The typo police are out. I should probably run while I still can.
And a Happy Juneteenth to everybody!
And a Happy Juneteenth to you fine sir.
I wish I could turn off auto correct for capitalized words only.
I try not to type from phone if I can avoid it. I am the edit King.
Nikki Haley is an unrepentant Gun Whore with blood on her hands. (Google her and Guns.) Look what her clueless leadership has promoted. Economic and racial hatred. What a fine legacy. We need something other than Willful Ignorance in the Governor’s Office.
BOLD MOVE Nikki.
I hope Nikki Haley will put on permanent hold the greeting Highway Patrol dispatchers use when taking *HP calls. I heard the startling “It’s a great day in South Carolina. What is your emergency?” response when I called *HP after seeing a tractor trailer flip on I-26. When I called the Highway Patrol office about the inappropriate *HP greeting, I was told, “Gov. Haley is our boss, and we have to do what she orders.”
