May 1 was a bittersweet day for FITS as we officially said goodbye to someone who has been an indispensable part of our family for several years.

Nancy Mace, best known for being the first woman to graduate from The Citadel, has formally concluded negotiations with FITS founding editor Will Folks – thus ending her six-year professional association with our website. Over that time Mace has provided FITS with exemplary design, technical and marketing support – and we can honestly say this site wouldn’t be where it is without her.

In fact Folks has repeatedly (and accurately) referred to Mace as the “brains of the outfit.”

More importantly, she’s been an amazing and incredibly loyal friend – even when it was costly for her to do so.

Anyway, details of the agreement are confidential (obviously), but one point that bears repeating is that Mace and her Charleston, S.C.-based consulting firm – The Mace Group – never had any role whatsoever in the editorial side of FITS.

Should Mace pursue elected office – as many are encouraging her to do – we suspect her political opponents will seek to use our words against her, which is why it’s important to make perfectly clear that these are, in fact, our words. And the decision to post and place them rests (and has always rested) exclusively with us.

Hell, she doesn’t even know we’re writing this story!

Yet while we are sad to see Mace go we are thrilled with one aspect of her departure – namely the opportunity it provides us to more forcefully promote her aspirations in the event she does decide to go down the political path. Obviously our founding editor hasn’t been shy in promoting Mace in the national media already, but as for aggressively extolling her many virtues on FITS we’ve been careful not to go overboard given the fact she still had a role with our operation.

Concluding our professional relations with her means we are no longer bound by such caution …

Good luck and Godspeed, Nancy. And thank you for everything.

Was it Mace’s opinion that the MOST IMPORTANT Imperative in the Marathon Bombing attack is to make sure the Child-killing bombers got all the rights you could imagine and then manufacture for them?
Because Sen. Lindsey Graham took a hard-line stance to prosecute based on what we KNOW, not contrived, legal loopholes that would have them Walk Free???
I’d REALLY like to see if Ms. Mace agrees with the Justice-based view of Graham, or does she agree w/ siding w/ the brutal Terrorists, using nuanced, liberal-tarian ideology?

From Steve Sailer’s SATIRICAL forecast of 2014 @ VDARE:

Washington Post: Former McCain and Rubio ally Lindsey Graham (R-SC)—or, as the Senator has insisted upon being called since his dramatic recantation of his foreign policy and immigration views, “The Divine Miss G”—remains a controversial voice upraised against the Beltway consensus he once embodied. Sen. Graham claimed, “It makes no more sense to invade Christian South Ossetia, much less Ingushetia and Iran, for something that Muslim Chechen terrorists from Dagestan did than it did to invade Iraq because of something some Saudis did.”

As the South Carolinian has repeatedly asked since leaving the former Gang of Eight to found the Cotillion of One, “And why are people still talking about amnesty for the ‘poor undocumented workers condemned to living in the shadows?’ Doesn’t anybody understand that ‘living in the shadows’ was just my metaphor for me?

Senator Graham, who now spells his first name Lindsay!,continued, “Now that I’m out and in the spotlight, who cares about those dreary nobodies? I told my Mossad handler that I was exhausted from always going on TV to demand more invasions and more immigrations, always trying to seem ultra-butch. And then he threatened to leak those photos(which I worried would make me look fat, but, I must say, they’ve turned out rather flattering—I’ve gotten ). Well, I told him, ‘We should just do like you people do with your “illegal infiltrators”—deport them and build razor wire fences so they can’t come back.’” And he agreed with me. So, there.’

I’ve come to the conclusion that T is a plant for HufPo. I just can’t think of anyone actually behaving like this in the real world. This can not be a real human being. It’s impossible. It’s just fracking impossible.

Have a Great Day!! :) There won’t be many left with the Demlicans and Republicrats in charge.

Nancy trying to go from co-running a soft-core porn site to elected office….. reminds me of those contestants on American Idol who totally suck but believe the lame encouragement from family members.

And she’s a piece of ass. That’s worth 20 points in this state. Nancy, do us a favor and run against some jerk like Limehouse, Harrell, Campsen, or whoever, where ever you live. Run on an anti-corruption platform.

“Nancy Mace – a co-owner of FITSNews, Inc. – has entered into negotiations to sell her share of the business. For the record, Mace has never had anything to do with the editorial content of FITS, she has handled advertising, marketing, search engine optimization and other technical tasks (in addition to overseeing our recent site redesign).”

mmmm..so she may not have written any content but she profited from the traffic it generated? I don’t know but that seems like it might be a major issue should she run.

I’d like to ask ms Mace about her religious beliefs. As I recall, FITS made an issue of Mitt Romney’s faith practices. Will he do the same w/ Mace’s once she decides on it???

I’m not sure that SC voters value ‘tenacity’ in tearing down harmless traditions, just because the media and the liberals are cheering you on.

Last I checked the only person attempting to tear down tradition was a woman by the name of Shannon Faulkner. Two completely different people.

Nancy Mace did provide this website with “exemplary design” but that was before this new economy used Chrysler mini-van version website came about. Methinks it was about $$. This site is a mere shadow of what it was previously. Still populated by the same 1/2 dozen fits-faithful.
