It is a long and tortured story, and what bothers me, as a public person and as somewhat of a journalist by public need, it is the long story about the abject failure of education, mainly public education, here in our Representative Republic.
Many corrections must be made, and the backsliding that far too often we see here locally is not helpful. As far as educational funding is concerned, the public would be best serve to fund what education that works best. The Snowden debacle was truly a terrible example of intellectual malfeasance.

Stan: Yes, I think so. Obviously, Eastern NC NOW understands this story. The news cadets over at WITN, WNCT and WDN, not so much.

Van Zant: When you speak of "The mainstream media is happy to take his script and run with it without recognizing the real story." Would that be what media is in this area other than Eastern NC NOW?

So, here is what we have learned:
1. The BC School Superintendent continues to find ways to attack anyone not jumping through his hoops. 2. The mainstream media is happy to take his script and run with it without recognizing the real story. 3. Some BC Republican Party leaders pretend they can speak for the entire party, and again, the mainstream media helps them do it. 4. The Beaufort County Republican Party Executive Committee is left with the mess and the quandary of what to do with it.

The protestations coming from those who perceive powers they do not have is also illustrated when it comes to the Beaufort County Republican Party Plan of Organization (PoO). When it suits there position, they drive it hard. When the PoO does not comport with there desires, it is ignored or there are efforts to change it to meet their desires. That desire is total control of the electoral process, be it in local, state, or federal elections. Should an undesirable slip by, the strategy then moves to use every thing that elected official does or says as a cudgel to drive them from the political stage. Challenges to the status quo will not be tolerated.

Why are these purported RINOs owing so much to the "Bureaucrat Class?"

This whole Stacey Davis affair is unfolding as a ripe onion, peeled away layer by layer, offering political flavor for some, and none for others.
This is all I know about it. There is one thing, however, that I am very aware of, and that is Republican leaders DO NOT have the proxy of real Republicans to attack other real Republicans, especially at, and for the pleasure of RINOs (just another name for a misclassified Democrat), and these RINOs' associative bureaucrats, who work together as a corrupt cabal. This must end here in Beaufort County GOP politics, and it must end NOW. This issue of RINO Whispering is serious for we Real Republicans, who absolutely act as Real Republicans, and, going forward, weI will employ whatever political gravitas weI possess to demand a reversal of this wayward face of the current Beaufort County GOP.
