By TAYLOR BROWN || So, when signing on to write for the infamous FITSNews, I was told “it would be nice to have a ‘Republican,’” so, now, here I am, the token Conservative Republican, who uses commas like a foreigner.
I like to think I was asked to write for my intellectual brilliance and political insight; however, it was probably my Twitter picture (@TaylahhKane) and my snarky Ebola tweets that did it (I’m still ready to use #EbolaInCola).
My background in politics goes back pretty far – back to elementary school, actually, when I did a commercial for Governor Jim Hodges … which remains one of my most embarrassing moments in the political world. Since then, I have religiously followed elections and the news, and I am very proud to say that I would now NOT appear in a commercial for Hodges.
My platform: Abortion (the most important social issue to me)? Pro-life. Who is possibly more in need of rights than those who make up our humanity? Who possibly needs greater protection than those who are incapable of speaking or standing up for their rights themselves? Life is the first freedom – the first right from with the rest of our liberties flow, and is, thus, the most sacred.
Gay marriage? Get the government out of marriage entirely. Leave it up to the church. Death penalty? I once wrote an essay called “An Eye for an Eye: Why Criminals Should Die,” which, I think, speaks for itself.
Guns? The bigger, the better. Government? The smaller, the better. Favorite rapper? Nas. Raising taxes? Just don’t. Taxes in general? Flat tax. Capitalism? Love it. Welfare? Reform and privatize most of it.
Favorite person in the Senate? Tim Scott. Favorite person in the House? Trey Gowdy. Favorite person in SCOTUS? Clarence Thomas. Favorite person in the White House? HAHAHA.
Universal healthcare? HELL NO. NSA? Dangerous and slippery slope. ISIS? Evil. Favorite song? 1812 Overture. Favorite sport? Is there any sport other than Gamecock football? Political heroes? The Iron Lady and Lee Atwater. My best political experience? Herman Cain once sang to me.
So here I am, love me or hate me, I don’t much care.
Taylor Brown is a 20-something Wofford College graduate who somehow got sucked into politics at an early age. She is easily won over with Rush’s fast food, wine, and spirited political arguments.

Tell the truth Will, is this all part of some Republican outreach to women program?
I think black men are in since Tim Scott. Now it’s time to empower women. Now if these women would go beyond washing dishes, ironing clothes and baking stuff… Way to go, ladies. Break that glass ceiling.
Seriously though, Conservatives need more than Bachman or Palin. They need logic and reason. I’m sure there’s a woman out there that can fit that bill.
The Republican outreach to women in SC usually involves a fist. Ask Fits…
“Tell the truth Will, is this all part of some Republican outreach to women program?”
If it supposed to be it certainly is not working.
Bible Hand Stroker ran Liz off.
Those are some red lips.
Pretty sure they hired her for her tits.
If so, why can’t we see them?
Seriously, tits or GTFO
Pics or it didn’t happen.
doesn’t make sense. You overuse a worn out line that 18 year old boys thought was funny for a week.

Not bad at all.
Particularly Honduras — NICE Rack!
How can I get a blue line over my comments like that?
Did you drop acid?
Several times, but not in this decade.
Meant to say century.
The only question she forgot to ask- “who cares?”
So this is the person who wrote that really brainless article about making my vote count? If this was an outreach to women who think, I don’t think anyone has to worry about its success. The only women she would appeal to are the Stepford wives and the Stepford wife wannabes who already vote for Republicans.
As for liking her or not liking her. That decision would require more effort than I am willing to expend on someone so painfully cliché.
Gowdy the goober, Clarence the corrupt, fucking Lee Atwater of all people? You really can’t make this stuff up.
Might as well thrown in Bachmann, Palin, and Ted Nugent. If we’re going for absurd, might as well pull out all the stops.
Hey now, Trey Gowdy is the best US House member still trying to act like he is a solicitor.
Best troll doll impersonator.
At least she’s better, so far, than the “I got away from my abuser so you are massively fucked up if you don’t, and btw I am a big conservative but you should be impressed that Oprah had me on her show” woman. (Those were not her exact words, but the gist of some of her statements posted here and there.) I think she was a one-shot here, though. Hopefully.
Damn Buz, I know I had a few for supper but you lost me right after At
Yeah, that happens a lot.
Talking about Faith Felice. She did a guest column on here, I guess you’d call it. Like her friend (and mine) Mande Wilkes, she apparently believes that because some women can break away from abusive husbands, all of them should be able to. Totally ignoring Stockholm Syndrome and virtually every psychological model of victims, ever. Hell, I admire what Faith has been able t accomplish, but not every woman in an abusive relationship is even sane enough to do it. That’s the part she doesn’t get. Abuse makes people crazy. Telling crazy people they need to be sane is not brilliant commentary, by any means.
OK, got it now
thanks
OK, got it now
thanks
Angry much?
Oh, to be young and foolish again.
Do we really need another Anne Coulter wannabe? It was a good shtick for budding female pundits to play the “I’m just as conservative as the guys. See, what I wrote there!?!” character ten years ago, but now it’s just lazy and played out. I guess you’re cute looking enough for the usual FitsNews crowd of unemployed or retired old white guys. Luckily for you, that’s all it usually takes. Maybe if there was anything remotely original here, there would be something to love or hate. Instead? Meh.
She’s a lot better looking than Ann Coulter.
Hell, with the exception of Spurrier everyone else on the Gamecocks Football Team is better looking than Coulter
INFINITELY better looking than Ann Coulter. I get the impression she is not a true harpy from hell like AC, and that’s a big point in her favor.
Squaw? Bubbette? Shiksa?
Is she single?
You fuckers are truely sad.
A few more issues.
1. Schools, and government events are not faith free zones.
2. Yes to school choice and vouches.
3. No to common core.
4. Eliminate the deficit and pay off the national debt.
5. Man’s influence on the climate is extremely exaggerated if not non existent.
6. #4 should be #1.
7. Young women with older men.
Way to stir the Leftwingnutsup right after an ass kicking. You must like kicking anthills and throwing rocks at beehives for a hobby.
is this a joke?
Look between your legs for the joke.
Hey! How’d you get down there?!?
Hey! How’d you get down there?!?
Badoom Psshhhhhh!
How can anyone that knows anything about Lee Atwater call him a hero? Lee Atwater didn’t even like Lee Atwater.
Atwater took many secrets with him to his grave….
He was mean as a snake. However, he is responsible for many Republican victories nationally.
Why not universal health care? Cato tells us how economically free all these other countries that have it are compared to us.
I’d much rather have a true universal health care system than the current ACA solution, or even worse, what Republicans want to take us back to.
Good luck. By the way, has anyone ever told you that you resemble Monica Lewinsky?
Did Lee Atwater avoid Hell by confessing his sins on his deathbed and asking for forgiveness?
I doubt it. He woulda wanted to play bass in a REALLY hot blues band with Robert Johnson.
Why would Robert Johnson want Atwater even playing in the same room with him?
White wanna-be blues playing frat boys come a dime a dozen.
Now Duane Allman on the other hand………………………..
Good points.
Thought the Allman Brothers were originally a “frat band” because they played frat parties, though. Not because any of them were IN frats. Could be wrong. I’m a major fan. Met Duane and Gregg and the band when I was working stage crew at the festival in Love Valley, early ’70s, shared a joint with ’em. Then Gregg disappeared into their bus with the girl who had come on to me to get backstage. Didn’t even invite me in! Oh, well. Their road manager, Bunky Odum, was the son of my dad’s best friend back in NC, Bunk Odum. That’s the extent of my own disconnectedness to those guys. Like anybody cares. ;)
I do.
Playing for Frat parties is a paying gig – no shame in that. That’s how Barney Barnwell and “Plum Holler” got their comback here in Spartanburg area 10 – 15 years ago. Sadly, Barney passed two years ago, He was a mess!!!!
Duane got killed on October 29,1971 two days after I was inducted into the US Army and was shattered by the news (I had a week before I went to Ft. Jackson and heard about his death at the “Rare Earth” concert at Clemson.
I remember seeing their posters in October 1970 when they were playing the “Sitar” here in Spartanburg. You had to be 18 to get in and I was an obedient 17 year old at the time. Knowing what I know now, I would have fought,bribed or begged to get in.
To see The Allman Brothers play at the Sitar in 1970 is one of the things I would do if I had only 3 trips in a time machine
Barney Barnwell played at our frat parties several times!
I’m sure he did.
I was a fan of Barney since 1979 when I saw him in Rockingham and didn’t know he was from Spartanburg till he sung “Campbeller” and I almost fell off of my bar stool.
Barney was a showman fer sure. I truly miss him
His annual “Moonshiners Reunion” concerts at Garmling and “Fingerville” were what legends are made of. The one in Gramling in 1980 was damn near Pagan!!!!
Those concerts are kinda like the “Blockhouse” near Tryon, The only time I have missed either since 1980 was because it was drill weekend or I was in a war somewhere…(and sometimes I got out of drill and made it up afterwards but ducking out of a war was something i could not swing)
And that’s a damn fact!!!!!
“Ducking out of a war was something I could not swing”
But Mark “Shirker” Sanfraud sure as hell did!!!!!!
And the “sheeple” voters of South Carolina rewarded him for it and still do by electing his sorry military duty shirking ass to Congress.
So much for patriotism in the “Sandlapper” state!!!!
Speaking of bands that played frat parties, Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts were really an amazing phenomenon. They sometimes played wearing only jock straps. In front of co-eds! In the early ’60s! And I never heard of them getting in any trouble over that. Go figure, huh?
I think their best song was “Honey Let Me Bang Your Box”!!!!

Come to think of it I recall Greg being interviewed on CBS’ “Sunday Morning’ a few years back and he said he was in medical school in California and was asked by his brother to come back east to join the band (which he did)
Odds are that he was/is not a “Greek” though.
Why would Robert Johnson want Atwater even playing in the same room with him?

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, sparklecity.
Maybe this will help ‘splain it:

Well for starters, Nas’s best album was illmatic, which came out in 1994. Now assuming by “20-something” as your age, my guess is you are a solid 23 years old. Which means you were 3 years old when the best of Nas’s work came out. Nice try on urban musical pandering, to give yourself some lyrical gansta cred. You should have just stuck with Ice Cube or N.W.A.
Also favorite sport is Gamecock football? No Wofford Terrier love?
Welcome to the mean grinder thats the Fitsnews comments section, Im sure GrandTango and CorruptioninColumbia will be along to work you over. If they havent already done so.
Oh. Like Nas tracks are not easily available today. Shit, I know people in their ’20s who like classic rock far better than anything around today, even some who prefer soul music from the ’60s. Anyway, NWA started in ’88, so what’s your point exactcly? Lame point for criticism. Her taking Herman Cain seriously might have been better.
My point being, if you were going to reach back into the time warp of actually relevant hip-hop to make your “20 something” self seem like you have knowledge of actual legit hip hop, you should just go with the likely choices and not try and appear all uppity white chick who is pandering some limited knowledge or rap music.
I would accepted, Wu-Tang Clan and the earlier work of Busta Rhymes as more believable than that she actually listen’s to Nas.
I would accepted, Wu-Tang Clan and the earlier work of Busta Rhymes …

Dahaaaaa…dahaaaaa dahahahahahaaaaa
(meanwhile, back at the ranch…)
http://pinsta.me/p/833336125519868574_274996835
She also likes Wu-Tang… And really?? You felt the need to criticize her taste in music??
ahhh the sounds of a loyal sorostitute coming to defend one of the fold.
Didn’t say whether or not she stands with the lunatics who believe that birth control is a form of abortion.
Privatize welfare? Holy SHIT! There’s no profit in it, so Feringis would HATE her for that.
Also for wearing clothes.
Hey Buz, come on, create one post with all your comments and stop spamming up the comments section.
Fuck off.
Hey just trying to help your gonna start looking like BT, BubbaGoldenstein or Grand Tango
I don’t give a shit what your intentions are. Tell us your name, show us your face, or you are a total non-entity.
You are responding to a non-entity.
People say I’m crazy. Maybe responding to non-entities is one of the reasons.
Hey just trying to help your gonna start looking like BT, BubbaGoldenstein or Grand Tango
Huh, Kimosabe?
Wonder if that works as well as the privatizing of some of DSS functions like Haley’s minions were doing?
Lee Atwater may have been morally bankrupt, but he was an absolute political genius. He understood how to get votes move people to his side. Admirable traits in politics.
That is true. He is the Architect of the racist politics that has served the Republican Party so well. He branded the Republican party in the South, the party that will protect you from the black people. A badge they continue to wear even as they deny it ever existed.
He couldn’t protect us from the black Republicans though, for shame.
Haw! That’s kinda funny.
Token Republican??? What are you talking about. Will is a Republican. Despite his protest to the contrary, he always votes Republican. Your party is determined by how you vote, now what you say. If Will is not a Republican, he is a NINO. Non-Republican in Name Only!!.
I don’t know what Will does in the voting booth. But he WORKS for a living, so I KNOW he’s not a liberal “Big government, let’s redistribute the wealth, protect the people bc they’re too helpless to make their on choices” kind of guy.
Welcome Taylor, it will be nice to read your articles. Do not let some of the pinheads on here get you down.
I must admit I looked at the article for the pic. She should have fun writing for this site if for no other reason than scrolling thru the comments every few days and seeing what the basement dwelling turds have to say. They (the basement dwelling turds)obviously have no life or job or woman (partner) otherwise they would not have time to post on here constantly. Have fun with it Ms Brown. BTW look out for the one who thinks he’s a rock star he’ll say he got some of your nanner puddin but never try to prove it.
Hey, basement dwellers are people too. People with neckbeards and fedoras.
I live next to the Inlet, so I don’t have a basement. But I try to maintain a basement-like decor at all times. Just trimmed the neck-beard. It was starting to talk to me, and I didn’t like the shit it was saying.
I do have a fedora. A blood-red one. Ugly as sin.
Was it a gift from Mickey Spillane?
Hey, you remembered that Mickey was a neighbor. You know, the last time I saw the dude, he nearly ran over me. Couldn’t even see me. He had some years on him. He is my “2 degrees of separation” from batshit crazy old Ayn Rand, his good buddy who wanted to be more. But — nope. I got it at a yard sale, I think. Only wear it to emcee burlesque shows.
My trailer doesn’t have basement. Har har.
Taylor Swift?
May I suggest a pearl necklace to go with those pearl earrings?
May I suggest a pearl necklace.
She’s really upset with you again?
You didn’t give her what she likes?
What would that be?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne3XojNonEU
Lmao. That kind of pearl necklace. I gotcha. Its been a long day.
A Pro Lifer whose political hero is Lee Atwater – damn !
Wonder if she would have a problem with Jim Jones promoting Kool Aid for pre-schoolers
When abortion is outlawed in the US I am going to hang around the Air Jamaica or Air Mexico ticket counters and watch conservative girls go to either country for a “vacation” funded by “Daddy” like they did in the 1950’s!!!!!
You will be able to spot them just like you can Wofford or Converse girls at the Nu-Way!!
I assisted in the killing of scores of pregnant women and children and if you saw me in uniform you are likely to come up and say “thank you for your service” just like most people who don’t know a damn thing about morality
The only people who are not hypocrites on abortion,war and capital punishment are the Quakers!!!!!!!!
Trey Gowdy??? Honey, the only thing Trey Gowdy is really for is HIMSELF!!!!!
Are you forgetting when he was confronted by an gun weilding woman he cut and ran??? So much for his talking tough!!!!!
“confronted by an gun weilding woman he cut and ran”
Sounds like a smart guy. Suppose he had gunned down a woman. What would you say then?
“Good shot Trey”
But that’s not what he did.
According to the Spartanburg H/J he hightailed his car away from First Baptist Church on East Main in Spartanburg and went straight to the City of Spartanburg Police station without using his cell phone to call 911.
It takes at least 5 minutes to haul ass from the First Baptist Church to City Hall where the Police Station is located and by then the woman was blocks away.
For all his tough talk he ran away like the little girl he really is.
Gowdy’s a wimp if he does not have a cop or some other “Big Brother figure” around to back him up.
Once you leave to a safe place, what does it matter whether it is a block or five minutes away? Perhaps he should’ve called, but what does that have to do with courage?
You never should never confront an attacker if you and other possible victims can safely escape.
If he feels embarassed for leaving, I would rather live with his demons than yours.
I would not be so insulting of little girls. From your own experience, you must know that they often exhibit superior courage that adult men.
As a rule little girls have better survival instincts than a lot of grown men.
The point I’m making is for all his tough talking about how he faced killers when he was a solicitor and being a grand inquisitor at present, he choked under pressure and I wouldn’t want him having my back.
Enough said
Go ahead and eat the peanuts out of his stuff if you want to. I ain’t buying his BS. I’ve seen what he is like behind closed doors.
Having done ride-alongs with law enforcement in several cities I’ll share this — standard procedure in one city is that a cop NEVER turn his back to a female where possible, and I was told that went for me too. Females, even if unarmed or quiet, were too volatile.
As I am a Wofford graduate from right after the earth cooled I look forward to your thoughts. We may not always agree but is not that what debate is about. At least I know that you are well educated and well rounded due to Wofford. God bless your parents
Ask her how many trips she made to the Nu-Way, Hickory Tavern,Delanys or the “Zone”???
That’s where Wofford types get a REAL education!!!!!
Ms.Taylor Brown kinda/sorta resembles Monica Lewinsky in that pic…………
Yes, she has the same lips and love that lipstick! God, I miss those lips!
Much like the expression in the picture above, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
great another Pixie Lesbian.

If anyone can thinkof a cliched GOP position she missed, I’ll buy ’em a Co-Cola.
I’ve known Taylor for many years. She’s a bright girl. She’s too good for this place.
“She’s too good for this place.”
A nice comment from a friend, but still a low bar to clear.
That’s for damn sure.
So, Manateee Mandeee must have gotten a real job?
Our Funding Editor has never worn lipstick, but she said the last few times she saw lipstick this sleazy, it was on her 1st husband’s thigh, on her 2nd husband’s navel, on her 3rd husband’s underwear and on the left cheek of her own arse after a drunken sorority reunion in 1922. Ohhh, she says those were the days.
Welcome Taylor, to sic(k) willie’s wanna-be porn site. You should fit right in.

Why does this make me think of The Story of Mary MacLane? But that was Vassar.
Nice to meet you…and thanks for succinctly illustrating your platform.
Rome is burning on account of your ilk as America’s once grand society is turned into a personalized neo-con hellscape of “I before you, except after me”.
Congrats.
Sic, where do I apply for a job ?
Somehow I missed the puss shot, any help ?
You misspelled, Alabama Crimson Tide. Can’t wait to read your stuff!
You should be using “#nobowlaincola”
I would most certainly allow her to strip me naked and lather me in barbecue sauce. Preferably mustard based.
“Who is possibly more in need of rights than those who make up our humanity?” What? What does that mean? Sic must be desperate.

Wow, this is perhaps one of the shallowest columns ever written … it essentially is one giant cliche. I know people think South Carolinians are morons, but c’mon Fits. Hire someone with a little intellectual curiosity.
Miss Taylor Brown, you are a hot, sexy broad! I’m going to include you in my next adventure. I’ll even put you on the dust cover.

Wow. I agree with you on NSA, ISIS, and Gamecock sports. That’s it.
