While I have never liked the term "RINO" because it is too much inside baseball and the average voter has no clue as to what it means, I am familiar with how the Democrats define the word "compromise". It means doing everything 95-99% their way, with maybe a few minor bribes to a Mitch McConnell or a Paul Ryan thrown in. They never would consider a true compromise where each side got about half of what they wanted.

Big Bob: This is why there are different political parties Big Bob.

Only corrupt, and, or egregiously stupid Republicans power share with Democratic Socialists when the so-called Republicans have a majority on any governing board, or any state's general assembly, or the United States congress.

Those that do, and those that grant them succor within the party apparatus, are known generally as RINOs. That is just the way in works in real terms.

RINO - normal people that understand government requires compromise. Stan is so concerned with REAL republicans, he's forgotten about you.

The Davos globalist elitists are the threat to democracy worldwide, and Trump will be a roadblock to them. The top objective of the WEF is impostion of censorship by setting up something like Orwell's Ministry of Truth. At this year's Davos conference, they set up their highist priority to stamp out "misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation" which is anything that does not agree with their narrative and their agenda. WEF leader Klaus Schwab was born in Nazi Germany to an industrialist father who was a Nazi supporter and the apple does not fall far from the tree. Schwab is just as much of a totalitarian as his Nazi father. The WEF is scheming to cut off advertaising to news sources other than their "trusted" (loyal to them and their agenda) sources. The WEF is extremely evil and should be declared a terrorist organization.

Stan, the only "staff" that this political stunt was intended to protect was Cheeseman and maybe a few of his top underlings tied to his woke stuff, like Dr. Parker who told the school board meeting that the Bridges math curriculum was not Common Core, only to have to reverse himself at the next meeting and admit that it was after various people researched it. The question is - Was Parker just incompetent and did not know the correct answer or was he lying to the board? Either way, why does he still have a job? We have a very weak school board that tolerates too much of this nonsense.

No Real Republican believes that Beaufort County is NOT rich in RINOs, especially in sectors where the Status Quo is celebrated rather than Conservative policy is embraced.

In fact, Beaufort County's reputation for such, as promoted by the Beaufort County GOP, extends well beyond our borders, and well known in Conservative strongholds, where Conservative Republicans are elected, and in turn are supported by their local GOP for their bold initiatives and wise policy in governing as Real Republicans.

In other far more Conservative county GOPs, elected RINOs, when found out during the governing process, are censored for their anti Republican political agendas, and driven from the safety and comfort of what is tangible and real ... and what is absolute in truth.

In Real Republican GOP Executive Committees, Fake Republicans are NOT tolerated.

Big Bob: I only counted only two "Fake Frankie Waters." mentioned by Commissioner Richardson.

In the face of the overwhelming and irrefutable truth, I have to commend the Conservative Commissioner for exhibiting great restraint.

How many subjects can the powers at be get so wrong.

I have spoken to my town council & the county council of Norwich about my concerns, even my MP only to be ignored. Many people follow the wrong evidence, like climate change, so why don't we listen to Professors William Happer and Judith Curry respectfully.

I think there's NO money made from the truth in my opinion.

I speak being a simple minded man and I beg your pardon, but it is my belief, globalization will effectively achieve a net loss for humanity before it is finished.

Van Zant /Bubba: The problem here with this resolution is that it appears to assert the proverbial straw-man-argument, where board members are given only two choices, both pathetically weak as choices, where there is a cloaked self-serving political component, which is relatively irrelevant to the scheme of schools' business, and in this case it was a resolution symbolically stipulating: We are all in this together (a true Democratic Socialist maxim), or you are against us - predominately the staff and the teachers; used as political pawns, employed as a political cudgel.

I have presented many resolutions, the vast majority I personally write, on many issues I feel passionately about that often fail due to the vote swapping machinations of Beaufort County Government's Center-Left Coalition ... Issues such as: Shutting Down the Open Border Policies of Democratic Socialists; Allowing Conceal Carry in Most of Beaufort County's Government Buildings; Opening Up Local Businesses and County Schools during the Covid Years in open Defiance of Authoritarian Cooper; Vigilance of Election Integrity in an Era of Extreme Election Interference, Irregularities and the Perception of Voter Fraud Under the Cover of Covid ... all issues that generally upset Democratic Socialists and RINOs alike.

All issues that are, and remain relevant to every voter in Beaufort County, all of which will effect Beaufort County's governing of its people's well being now and long into the future.

I cannot see how this controversial resolution has any real merit other than the self-serving politics as usual for politicians that generally move as a single organism, devoid of original thought, depending of the often advisement of others.
