RH, I'll stick with lighting for 200.Although I really hope your right about climate change, I'm convinced your wrong.

Was MLK acceptable? Was his movement worth support? If so tell us how you supported MLK?

Back in the day, people like you called MLK a marxist and much, much worse. How about just admitting blacks have been treated like crap and pledge to do better?

ERIC is a creation of George Soros and used by far left groups to register Democrat voters. This Dr. Andy Jackson is one who promoted it last year.

No Countrygirl1411, they are not concerned with such.

They believe your obligation is to their "Police Power," and you should well abide ... unless you are one of their known constituents, then they will work with you.

You, Countrygirl1411, most probably are not so lucky.

Since the "idea of BLM" is Marxism, you have just 'fessed up that you support Marxism, Bolshevik Bob. Two of the three co-founders of BLM said themselves they are "trained Marxist" while the third co-founder seems to have just been a Marxism who had not had the training in the ideology.

If you just want to support the concept of civil rights for black people, there are respectable civil rights groups with a track record of fighting Jim Crow and segregation back in the day like the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). You do not have to go full blown Marxist with BLM.

And while the BLM has its own history of violence, ANTIFA is the one that outdoes them all. Proud Boys, while no prize, has not even come close to the level of violence of ANTIFA, and it is all over the world.

That civil complaint really tells a tale on Tim Moore - adultery, surveillance cameras, group sex, pay to play, etc. This guy is a liability to the Republican Party and if we had a real leader as state chairman he would be on the horn to secure Moore's resignation before the damage goes any farhter. Like the corrupt Him Black, Moore will probably try to stay on.

Tim Moore has gotten on board with so much of the liberal agenda, it is hard to even recognise that he is a Republican any more, and now this sleaze?

This county manager is getting into the political arena with such an article, which is completely improper to the role of a county manager. Alligood needs to be let go and replaced with a non-political county manager. It is bad enough that Alligood is a big spender with an arrogant disregard of the taxpayer, but his engaging in political conversation like this is way out of line. The sooner he can be fired, the better.

Thank-you Hood for explaining the difference between active governing here in Beaufort County, as opposed to working within a Center /Left Coalition to do as they are told and shown to behave as their constituents' representatives.

The only way to change the tide of over-spending in Beaufort County is through the democratic process of elections. We need Real Republicans on the county commission; not Democrat-turned-Republican-just-to-get-elected retreads.

Will you repudiate the violent and destructive groups on the far left like the Marxist ANTIFA, the Marxist BLM, and the eco-extremists like Just Stop Oil, Last Generation, etc?

I like the fact that those eco-extremists are getting more and more pushback. There was an incident in the UK recently, where they were blocking school children getting to class on time and the school children didn't want to be punished for being tardy so they used force to make their way through the eco-mob. I have also enjoyed some videos in the Uk and Germany of motorists picking up the eco-mob members and none too gently removing them from the road. There was a case in Germany where eco-mob members called the cops on motorists doing that and were told by the cops that under German law the motorists had a right of self defense to remove them from the road. The classic was a video from the UK where the eco-mob had glued itself to the pavement so they could not be removed easily. The video showed a motorist unzipping his fly and then a stream of what was obciously urine directed all over a protester who was glued to the pavement and could not get away from it.

The way the far left's totalitarian "hate speech" laws work is that people are fully free to hate the "disapproved" groups and individuals but not to say anything remotely negative about any of the "approved / protected" groups and individuals. They are designed to impose an ideological agenda by bully tactics.

Glad to hear the Proud Boys are not on your hit parade.

I was never thrilled with Troxler as Ag Commissioner, but I am definitely repelled by the idea of this political opportunist as governor, and the Shumaker connection just makes it that much more toxic. If Troxler is the nominee, I need to find out more about the Libertairan candidate. No can do Troxler as governor! Troxler and Stein are equally bad news.

That is only the debate among the far left and the mindless twits who follow along with whatever the MSM tries to push off on them. The real issue is "Does human produced CO2 have a darn thing to do with current climate trends or is it just a natural multi-century cycle we happen to be in right now?" That's how it is Big "none of your narrative is true" Bob!
