Hamas was even beheading Israeli babies. Sickening. Hamas needs to be totally exterminated to the very last Hamas thug. Every despicable one of them.

Planned Parenthood and the Democratic Socialists in congress conspire every year to defraud the United States taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars by committing Election Fraud every two years, benefitting Democratic Socialists by tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributions.

Do you see the Democratic Socialist grift here, or do I need to draw you a map?

Those Israeli settlements were soft targets for terrorists just like "gun free zones" here at home. Gun rights are human rights and protect the vulnerable.

Israel should have learned something from Hitler's gun control measures, which particularly sought to get guns out of the hands of Jews. They are facing an enemy just like Hitler.

There is not a dime's worth of difference between Americans who support or condone the Hamas ethnic terrorism in Israel and the Americans who supported or condoned the Nazis activities. They are all deserving of the same contempt. That includes Nazi Bob.

"Stakeholders" is an Orwellian term of the globalists. Total Newspeak, and widely used and promoted by Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum. Has Waters been making trips to Davos that we don't know about? Or does he just read Schwab's propaganda and follow it?. Globalism comes to Beaufort County.

Right now as you write Frankie Waters is conferring with "stakeholders" (yes, he used that word) - Beaufort County Realtors / Attorneys - to determine the county's position on formal recordation in the Beaufort County Registry.

It seems for some that this issue has moved from the proper permanent recordation of records to a space problem, and now it is becoming a 'what does Hood have against using the internet(?)' problem.

This is how Democratic Socialists deal with complicated issue (for them only, of course).

This is not rocket science. The logical position, and I will state it again is: Record in as many manners possible to be stored in as many disparate places as is feasible.

What utter nonsense, Bobbie. I was just listening to Mark Levin, a very prominent and well respected Jewish conservative on the radio last night.

That is true of conservatives abroad as well. There were members of the Jewish religion involved in the conservative political parties of Wilhelmine Germany as well as Weimar Germany. If you have ever been to a German World War I cemetery (I have), one of the things that stands out is all of the Stars of David interspersed with the crosses on the soldiers graves. It was only Hitler's warped brand of socialism that contained animosity toward the Jews. And who could forget Benjamin Disraeli, founder of the modern Conservative Party in the UK.

We can even look to the War Between the States, where the most prominent member of the Jewish faith involved in that war was Judah P. Benjamin of Louisiana, who served throughout the war in President Jefferson Davis' cabinet, successively as Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Secretary of War in the Confederate government.

The modern left's narrative about conservatives and Jews is built around one man, George Soros, who was born in a Jewish family but has not been a Jew in years. He is an atheist. He also was not much of a loyal Jew even in his youth because he was an admitted Nazi collaborator in his native Hungary in World War II. Soros funding of the far left all over the world would make him a major enemy of conservatives regardless of his religion or lack thereof.

Another thought. I seem to remember some radio ads about Frankie Waters being weak on immigration issues. Such positions among the fake "Republicans" on the Beaufort County Commission would correspond to what is pulling down the center-left in Germany, particularly the Free Democrats, the "center" portion of the coalition..

Thanks for the primer John.

Steve Rader told me of a voting plan where all 7 county commissioners would run every 2 years, where all citizens would get 7 votes every two years in county wide at large voting /14 votes over a 4 year period, where now citizens only get 2 votes in that same 4 year period. It sounded like a workable plan, with "single shot voting" for some if desired, or needed.

What this plan could effect is to get some real Republicans on the board of commissioners, straighten out a number of important issues, set the board up for a Conservative management plan going forward in terms of budgeting, policy and oversight, and then cut the number of commissioners from 7 to 5 (my idea to help better manage local issues).

That plan would be a step in the right direction for Beaufort County.

I don't think the narrative is false, You may not hate Jews but the feelings of the far right are well documented. I will say that killing is the last resort of the weak and or desperate. In this instance more killing is inevitable. All I'm saying is stay calm and work for peace.

Btw you speak of the lefts narrative. You parrot the right. Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Try as I might. I can come up with no positives with reference to EVs or taxpayer funded soler jungles. Repeal HB 951.

That is a far cry from the dynamics of current German politics addressed in this thread, which as the headline of a major German newspaper recently proclaimed is "shifting right". The problem in Beaufort County is that since limited voting arrived, there have always been a number of "fake Republicans" running under the Republican banner and getting elected. These are really Democrats-in-Drag and ally with the out of the closet Democrats on the board rather than the genuine Republicans. That means the Democrats are the tail that wags the dog. A good example is Frankie Waters who was a lifelong Democrat who only switched a few months before filing as a "Republican" for county commission, and in the last election contributed money to the Democrat running for sheriff. Until limited voting is eliminated, Beaufort County is screwed. Of course, what is needed to replace it is a system that is not itself manipulated. I prefer an all at-large plan but a district plan under some circumstances could work, too. I don't see how Republicans tolerate some of their elected officials brazenly selling their souls to the Democrats for a title, but under limited voting, they have gotten away with it.

But I guess there is one analogy to German politics and that is that the weakest link in the center-left coalition is the "center" portion of it, the Free Democrats, a party that ideologically is more to the center-right and has often been a coalition partner of the CDU and even tried to broker an FDP-CDU-AfD coalition after one state election. It has been badly hurt politically by its national alliance with the Social Democrats and the Greens, losing all of its seats in a series of state elections. The Free Democrats, who in the past have been to the right of the CDU on immigration and have resisted much of the green agenda in the past, are being abandoned by their base who are upset over the party's flip-flops on those issues. Its sole option to going down the drain in the next national election may be to trigger that election themselves by abandoning the current coalition, and a few of its top leaders have already put out cautious feelers in that direction.

Okay John Steed: What do you project will be the fortunes of the burgeoning "Republican" corner of the Center /Left Coalition Ruling the Beaufort County Commission?
Commented: Monday, October 9th, 2023 @ 8:04 pm By: Stan Deatherage
The center=left governing parties are really going to take it on the chin in the state elections in Germany that are set for next year, because all of them are in eastern Germany, where the populist-nationalist anti-immigration right AfD is running first in the polls and the Christian Democrats second. The states are Saxony, Brandenburg, and Thuringia. The smallest party of the center-left coalition, the Free Democrats look to be wiped out in all of those states, and the two bigger parties, the Social Democrats and Greens could well see a total wipeout in at least one of the states each. And, yes, immigration, and the climate nonsense are what are driving votes to the right and away from the left.

The immigration issue is big in Europe and citizen disgust at allowing illegal immigration is festering. This has been a big and growing trend in European elections, and we will soon start to see it in America in a big way.

We need to tell Hamas that for every American they have kidnapped who dies, there will be one bomb load from a B-52 carpet bombed on Gaza. Of course, that worthless Biden does not have the 'nads to do that.

All subsidies from all forms of government should end, even for oil companies.

All oil leases approved under the Trump administration should be reinstated, or ended by congressional legislation.

Immediately end all NGOs (public private partnerships - what a scam), and finally, one more thing: I cringe every time a RINO uses the words stake holder(s).

Hmmm! More of Bob's profound ignorance. Israel's Arabs who stayed in 1948 instead of opposing the Israeli state and then fleeing, have full rights as citizens and there are even Arab political parties in the Israeli parliament, which were part of the last coalition government. That is hardly apartheid. Those who fought against or opposed Israel's independence and then fled made their bed and they can lay in it. They opted out of being Israeli citizens and that is that.

What a corrupt waste of taxpayer money. More stinking subsidies of electric cars that polls and actual dealer experience show that most people do not want to buy. And to a foreign company at that. Why should this boondoggle be foisted upon taxpayers? We need more conservatives and fewer RINOs in the legislature, more Keith Kidwells and fewer Jim Perrys.

Big Bob: I am not concerned with how I "come across." You, on the other hand, leave real people with a sense of how wholly vapid YOU "come across."

In that regard, you and I are 180 degrees dissimilar.
