For context let me ask.
Are you conservative or crazy conservative?
There is a big difference. I do not debate crazy.

If you want to talk about Jewish space lasers, anti vax or HC drinking the blood of children in the basement of a DC pizza restaurant, I’ll pass.
If on the other hand you have both feet planted on earth and a semblance of reality, I’ll giver it a go.
Which are you?

Treating people poorly is not the sign of strength or of a good man.

And you want to be my latex salesman.

The charges alleged by Hood against the current register of deeds, also a candidate for register of deeds is categorically false. There is a NC General Statute that provides for electronic recording of many important documents while others are being saved as "hard copies." There is limited space to store documents recorded daily at this office. The NC Law provides for redundant back up systems. Further, whenever a document is recorded, the owner of the document is provided with a hard copy. These hard copies should be stored in a fireproof safe at ones home. By his own admission, Hood likes to stir the stinky pot. He is rude and he can't be called a Gentleman. He falsely accused an officer of the Beaufort County Republican Party, of Assault. Hood lost this case in a court of law. That this man has served as a Beaufort County Commissioner for decades baffles me. His accusations against the Beaufort County Republican Party are lies. He has a genuine dislike for anyone who dare defy him.

You’re a miserable individual. You are a racist pig and a disgrace to the GOP. It’s people like you that are damaging the GOP with this BS crusade to be the “true conservative” Grow up, find Jesus and do some exercise.

This is hardly the first time that the Democrats have done this dirty trick to interfere in the Republican nomination process, and probably will not be the last. The media usually tries to sweep it under the rug.

That said, Republicans need to do more to protect our nomination process. In North Carolina, we have a cut off date for registering Republican prior to our conventions and for all parties, prior to filing for office. No one can swith for a day to play games. They can however register Unaffiliated to vote in our primaries if they do it early enough, and many GOP activists object to that and want to close that loophole.

Iowa needs a cut off date, no later than January 1 to be registered Republican to participate in the caucus, and probably more like December 1 to make this Democrat mischief harder to set up. Also, early primary states like New Hampshire and South Carolian need to close their primaries to only Republicans, and the RNC rules need to set major penalties if they do not.

In 2008, McCain got the momentum out of open primary states New Hampshire and South Carolina to get enough of a lead of the pack to capture the nomination. Exit polls showed, however, if only Republicans had been voting, McCain would have lost both states and we would likely have had a different nominee. That is the huge difference that opening or closing a primary can make to the outcome of a campaign. McCain proved a useless nominee on economic issues, which became the election key in the Fall. A different nominee would have probably beaten Obama and saved the country from a lot of nonsense like Obamacare and the Iran deal.

Someone honestly tried to tell me, that there is a student at one of our Beaufort County Schools, that thinks their self to be some kind of cat/dog what have you. To the point now, get a load of this, that they are supplied with a litter box that they actually use! I wouldn’t believe it, but it was verified by others.

I mean I feel I just have to pause for people to wrap their minds around it……

There are 1000 things wrong with that, sanitation being the first. Really and truly, who is the sorry pathetic soul that has to clean that out? This student needs some real help along with one of those jackets that make you hug yourself. If I beheld a student, thinking they were an animal now to the point they are wearing ears, a tail, and using a litter box, and this student thought they were gonna come into the cafeteria and eat human food sitting at a table, I would tell them they are sadly mistaken. For the school is not an animal shelter and the cafeteria isn’t in the business of feeding strays. Animals must eat animal food, outside. Meow meow my friend.

You’re the one aiming to be the master debater. My stances are pretty much equivalent to any conservative. I’m saying to you if you seek to debate ideas then air your grievances attaching specifics to a person, place, or thing. Comments such as…….;

“Have I denied a white person a job, housing, education, seating in a restaurant and bank loans (to name a few)/
the policies you supported and continue to support seem to have no problem doing that to people of color.”
- Bobby Biggums

…… have zero tangible value. Instead it is the wild accusation of a racist individual. Other than the more prominent users of this site, you are completely unaware of the race of those making comments. By continuously trying to somehow make conversations about race, you expose yourself as a racist. Being there’s no racist until the one who comes about accusing of it. Doing so I would assume, because you have nothing helpful to add whatsoever.

Bob most were not alive or old enough to say anything good or bad about MLK during his life being he died in 1968.

Second part of your comment was a self diagnosis if I have ever heard one.

With each comment you make, you unfold another layer of ignorance. I apologize but the point must be failing to get through. You make it too easy.

All board meetings should be on video and recorded!! Of course they keep making excuses. How about waste tax payer money on the digital signage crap they installed at the central office that no one looks at driving down hwy 264! I could write a book on the money this district wastes!!

The superintendent meets with a few board members prior to discuss agenda items. This man is a toxic scum bag & needs to be removed from Beaufort County. The board members need to be held accountable for extending his contract. We have lost so many students AND employees because of his sorry leadership!!
