Big Bob: I "now do" what I have always done as publisher of this platform, the largest in the history of Beaufort County, maybe this immediate region.

Yes Stan, I would agree. By allowing me, or people like me to post, the BO or ENC Now can legitimately claim to stand for diversity, equity and inclusion. It is appreciated. Ron DeSatan, not so much.

As usual, your characterization of Florida is just wrong. I am sure you would rather have kids sexualized and groomed and taught about inherited racial guilt, "white privelege", and the evils of "whiteness", Little Bobbie.

Wind and solar are a disaster everywhere they have made significant inroads. They mean much higher energy prices for consumers and major risks of blackouts and brownouts.

Germany was an even earlier red flag on the problems of wind and solar. Angela Merkel's Energie Wende was the first major push to wind and solar and it has brought German electric rates that are three times what we pay in North Carolina and still rapidly rising. They have only been able to avoid blackouts by buying nuclear power from France and coal fired power from Poland. Energy prices tell a lot of the story, too. Electric rates in nuclear powered France are half of what they are in Germany, and those of coal-fired Poland even cheaper.

France is starting a major building project of more nuclear power plants and Poland has awarded contracts for multiple nunclear plants, a first for them. Sweden and Finland have also recently rejected pushing wind and solar in favor of more nuclear power.

Tes, we need to do this right, but the movement away from fissile fuels will continue. Reality demands it.

The minute BCS start teaching the benefits of slavery to the kids like they plan to do in FL, I'm out. Ron DeSatan is one sick puppy.

Climate alarmism is still all about politics. It is part and parcel of globalism, and the globalist threat to our freedom.

Big Bob: As a simple Leftist, you are projecting ... again.

Back in the real world, I am serving my seventh term, I have met many hundreds of county commissioners from all over the United States, and I would estimate that close to 36% of all elected Republicans (less impressive here from Beaufort County) are both reasonably intelligent and honest. That gives me hope.

Democratic Socialist commissioners, to be charitable, would not even measure up to double figures by those two metrics, and I stress here, I am being incredibly generous here in my estimation of the content of the political character of the Democratic county commissioners.

My point here is that there are good, capable political leaders out there, and it is the public's responsibility to support those good, those wiser candidates to serve, for it is interminably true that "the public always gets the government they deserve."

Nope.

Lucky for you because we both know DT has the personality of a wet fart.

No Stan, corruption isn't driving your bus. Why? Because humans are corrupt. Right, left, corruption is not hard to find when speaking of money and power. Since my previous statement is indeed fact, I would say their is something else that motivates you. What is it?
