Comments for Is it good deeds or words that get us past the Pearly Gates? | Eastern North Carolina Now

Yes Mr Richardson… that’s why I only read and comment on your verbiage when it insults my Real God, not some “mythical creature .”
Portraying yourself as a True “religious” Conservative is a lie. Yes, everyone should be running towards God and His forgiveness. Religion is a man made version of their God that eliminates the 1 true God. Kinda like spinning the word Conservative and who you are. You yourself told me that if anyone voted for Trump they were not a true Conservative Republican and if a person was not fiscally conservative then they too weren’t a true Republican. Yet, you put Trump signs in your store window deceiving “We the people!”
I may be ignorant on certain things but I am not stupid like you implied…. And neither are the people who wonder who to vote for next Nov election when they ask my opinion.

The problem with Commissioner Hood Richardson, as someone who knows The Hood about as well as anyone drawing breath in today's World, is a two forked proposition; it is the way he rushes to find solutions to problems.

The first of Hood's "problem" is knowledge; he tends to understand many certain issues on their surface, and if he deems them to be important to what is his perceived charge, he delves deeper. That process is where the Commissioner's problem, with certain people, begins ... they simply are not use to that approach; the digging deeper of it, searching around at the core of it.

The second problem for Commissioner Richardson of that "two forked proposition," where his problems begin with certain individuals, appears when The Hood's search for whatever honesty that should be easily manifested, unfortunately, is not readily revealed; then, at that point, The Hood does what is within his nature: He starts delving deeper for whatever he can find that resembles what is real, and if he does not substantively find it, The Hood Problem ensues, the magnification of what is known or unknown that should be.

So, in a nutshell, regarding the problem of The Hood for certain others: His curiosity leads, nay, forces him to dig far too deep in public matters, which he considers to be his charge to do so; then he quickly exhibits the temerity to be abjectly honest about what he discovers. Therefore, the "two forked proposition" of Hood Richardson, and at some leveled measure of discourse, this Commissioner will not abide other politicians, or their minions believing themselves to also be political players, their corrupt behavior that Hood perceives to have revealed.

These words that I deliver here and NOW are about the best I can muster in explaining what I know about The Hood. I am sorry, as one of The Commissioner's most loyal constituents, that others might find his behavior somewhat inconvenient, but honesty and diligence can often be an impediment to some, while considered a blessing by others.

Again with the lies and misinformation to try and benefit yourself. The Beaufort County Republican Party supported all Republican candidates during the past election. I saw the Beaufort County Republican Party at the Board of Elections working for all candidates. I saw your PAC out there only supporting the ones you wanted. You were attacking fellow Republicans and smearing their names with nasty banners and articles. I’m surprised charges for party disloyalty charges have not been brought against you. I pray that God will come into your heart and remove the hate and anger that resides within you. The citizens of Beaufort County are getting sick of your lies and nastiness. You just want people you can control to do your dirty work. It is my hope you will not be re-elected as commissioner. As you said, you are older than President Biden. Time for new leadership and someone that actually cares about the citizens in this county.

I was going to use an alias but I figured why bother!! Last time I made a comment I used an alias and everyone knew who I was and had my name published because of the person running this papers bias. Hood, I read your comment and I have important comments. #1: You are talking flippantly about “The pearly gates” when you yourself said that I follow a “mythical creature” who you referred God to. So please… don’t use God & Godly mentions or referrals of Him in your political spins!! You only talk about “religious things” when you want people to have a reverence for you and your opinion. You’re loosing your grip on people whose eyes are being opened to you. When I read part of this I agreed, educating people on the importance of local politics was awesome. Hats off to you. But that quickly turned to my head spinning from the “crap” & lies you’re telling people about the only true BC Republican GOP in NC. I have attended these meetings & it was NOT stated like you said. Stop lying!
