This fine lady has been their in court every time supporting me. I am very proud to call her a friend and patriot, Thanks Kendra, and Winthrop also. You are the best, Terry
When I first heard of Terry’s dilemma in July of 2007, I admit I was skeptical…only a nut would go out there and act like that. He was arrested for cursing and when i heard that the ghastly words were “Cheap bastard” I said, this is wrong! I realized that he was doing had to be done for the good of the people, for his livelihood and for his family. He was protesting illegal aliens and HE was the one hauled off in handcuffs to spend the night in jail. As people began to show support for him he gained strength and courage in the knowledge that he was not alone in his struggle. I am honored to have been standing with him in his fight here in South Carolina.
I’m sure Terry knew that protesting a jobsite full of illegal aliens could cause him problems. He was dragged through the Columbia City Court system for 8 months as they tried to wear him down and will him away. How dare him expect them to do the right thing and call ICE.
Comically, the Prosecuter’s office dug the hole deeper every time they tried to steal his Constitutional rights. Tactics like forgetting to change the message on the juror’s answering machine did not go unnoticed. Consequently, the jury didn’t show up-imagine that!?
In final desperation, the Prosecutor, Mr. Walker, tried his law school tricks of attacking Terry’s skill and character. It is nearly impossible to take down an honorable man, so Walker had his work cut out for him. In the end, the jury saw through his weak performance and voted on the side of the Constitution. I think that Walker was simply unprepared because the case was insignificant to him. He did not know that he was up against a patient and calculating force known as the Patriot movement, evident in the heart and soul of Terry Funderburk.
I praise Judge Steven Dennis for sticking to the law and giving Terry his fair and just day in court. Certainly he could have followed the lead of the prior judges and fiddle-faddled the time away while they used smoke and mirrors to try to get Terry to plead guilty and go away.
But he did not stop until he got his Constitutionally guaranteed jury trial. He could feel the pulse of the country behind him and he was not backing down.
Even the reporter for the State newspaper was biased and showed contempt for Terry and his supporters. She did not wait for the verdict on the 20th and intentionally missed her opportunity to interview Terry after the ‘not guilty’ verdict was read. This SC patriot would not get to smile for the camera in Columbia, because the city gov’ment has the media wrapped around their proverbial finger…or is it the other way around? The very Constitutional amendment that allows her to write her biased opinions was not significant enough for her to bother with.
The first two judges, the prosecutor, the reporter, the Mayor, the city gov’ment, the city police chief…NONE of them know how blind they are.
Forrest Gump said it right;”Stupid is as stupid does”.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
