NEVER TILLIS, and that applies to Tillis supported candidates. Catherine Truitt can get stuffed as can Tillis-endorsed Bill Graham in the governor's race.

On that last part you are right. MAGA just makes it up as they go along.

You make a very good point, Van Zant, about most people's loyalty to their church revolving around their local congregation, not the far off national denomination. Church members usually look to their friends in the local congregation, their local minister, even a cherished church building rather than the agenda of a distant denomination office. Why would someone prioritize a national church body unless it was over ideology? In this case, it appears that promotion of homosexuality was the lightning rod in the split, with the Global Methodist Church rejecting that promotion. Someone would really have to be wound up in the issues involved to leave their longtime local church. I can readily see how this would concern voters particularly over a school board member,

Personally, I am not in Mrs. Walker's district, but if I was my vote would have been determined by the fact that she is part of the "seat warmer" faction that fails to give proper financial oversight to the liberal school superintendant Cheeseman, or, in fact, proper oversight of much of anything.

Randy Walker initially impressed me with his many social media posts about being a watchdog for the taxpayer, but once he won the primary, he took all of those down. Instead, Randy has become a lapdog of the county manager and the ruling coalition, and has not looked out for the taxpayer at all. With his record he would never have had my vote anyway. He has been part of the group piling up a slush fund instead of reducing taxes. With the revaluation coming, we need pro-taxpayer commissioners now more than ever, and Randy just is not one of them.

The state motto Esse Quam Videri is Latin for "To be rather than to seem". That is what voters need to look for in elections, those who are the real deal instead of those just telling voters what they think the voters want to hear as Randy did in his first primary with regard to taxes.

Trump's pretty stupid. I think that's been established.

President Trump is not stupid, but far too many so-called Conservatives are, and that must change demonstrably on such important issues as controlling the sovereign borders of our Constitutional Republic.

These bipartisan fools, posing as Republican senators, reminds me of those days of the unforeseen Trump election and Speaker Paul Ryan, with a Republican majority in the House, who did nothing to advance Mr. Trump's border policy, as against the Non Patriot Left rose up to stop that progress promised by the far better politician - President Donald Trump.

I remember that Speaker Ryan was far too concerned with the Russia Hoax fomented by the Speakers "bipartisan" friends of the Non Patriot Left.

Anything that involves Bill Gates should be questioned and people should read the fine print. This treaty is NOT for the people, it's all for the Government. It's just another link to world domination of Government to control people and take away freedom. People better start paying attention and see what's happening. COVID was just a little test run to see how far they could push people to comply. If this treaty goes through and is passed, Lord help us ALL!!

If this dispute were about whether to use wine or grape juice for communion or the proper role of the bishop, it would be wholly irrelevent to a political campaign. Here the dispute is whether the church ought to push a cultural / political agenda of the left, which would be relevent to an election to public office.

Still, I would hate to see it in a campaign ad for an opponent. It is a delicate subject because it is tied to a church. Informed public or private discussion among voters, however, is proper.

I congratulate First Methodist Church in getting out of the United Methodist Church mousetrap. Although I am not a Methodist myself, I like what I see in the new Global Methodist Church.

The aliases of "Wanderer" and "County voter" are using fake emails, and will be discontinued here on this platform. Their comments will similarly be discontinued.

You can pretend, but I’m willing to bet you get the MAGA new letter!

Translating from Bobbie's Orwellian Newspeak, when he uses the word "true" it really just means "consistent with the far left narrative". He does not use that word the way the rest of us do.

I think she committed the crime of encouraging people to vote. So, you know clearly she’s a witch and needs purification …. At the stake.
Chicks like her have no right to control their own lives. Am I right?

Spot on. CO2 has never had anything to do with climate, but controlling it means controlling people. That's why the globalists are pushing the CO2 scam so hard. It is also why the farmers in Europe are fighting "climate communism" as it is being called, so hard. More power to them. The climate crusade is the cutting edge of 21st century fascism.
