Donna: The truth of the matter is that my name is Deatherage not Deathridge / Stan Deatherage ... and always has been.

I am a Beaufort County Commissioner for 7 terms, and I am a Conservative, with a voting record as such. We have two Conservatives on the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners.

Neither one of us aspire to 'Communism.'

Once again, the name is Deatherage; I am from Beaufort County, North Carolina.

I don't get the caption of this article. It does not seem to relate to its content.

However, I have heard about that squandering of the county GOP's $14,000 from someone who was there when it happened. A committee had been set up of party activists who had experience in running campaigns and it made a proposal of using those resources in ways that they would benefit local candidates but also benefit all the candidates running. The party vice chairman, Farco (sp?) then stood up and demanded that the money go mostly just to certain statewide races, with small fig leaves for a few local races. He lied and said that the campaigns he wanted to send the money to were "out of money" and did not even have enough to travel to campaign, when the published campaign reports show that all of those campaigns had lots of cash on hand already and were a long way from "out of money".

What was done was just outrageous. Why would anyone have any confidence in giving money to a party organization that operates that way?

Donna: You must really despise Commissioner Hood Richardson's Conservative values and consistent practices of fiscal restraint and vigilant oversight because you are repeating yourself from yesterday.

Religion is really scary when you know you plan ahead of time to ask for forgiveness for your willing sins.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen can truly sparse the language, as is the nature of all Democratic Socialists when it comes telling it true.

Yes Mr Richardson… that’s why I only read and comment on your verbiage when it insults my Real God, not some “mythical creature .”
Portraying yourself as a True “religious” Conservative is a lie. Yes, everyone should be running towards God and His forgiveness. Religion is a man made version of their God that eliminates the 1 true God. Kinda like spinning the word Conservative and who you are. You yourself told me that if anyone voted for Trump they were not a true Conservative Republican and if a person was not fiscally conservative then they too weren’t a true Republican. Yet, you put Trump signs in your store window deceiving “We the people!”
I may be ignorant on certain things but I am not stupid like you implied…. And neither are the people who wonder who to vote for next Nov election when they ask my opinion.

The problem with Commissioner Hood Richardson, as someone who knows The Hood about as well as anyone drawing breath in today's World, is a two forked proposition; it is the way he rushes to find solutions to problems.

The first of Hood's "problem" is knowledge; he tends to understand many certain issues on their surface, and if he deems them to be important to what is his perceived charge, he delves deeper. That process is where the Commissioner's problem, with certain people, begins ... they simply are not use to that approach; the digging deeper of it, searching around at the core of it.

The second problem for Commissioner Richardson of that "two forked proposition," where his problems begin with certain individuals, appears when The Hood's search for whatever honesty that should be easily manifested, unfortunately, is not readily revealed; then, at that point, The Hood does what is within his nature: He starts delving deeper for whatever he can find that resembles what is real, and if he does not substantively find it, The Hood Problem ensues, the magnification of what is known or unknown that should be.

So, in a nutshell, regarding the problem of The Hood for certain others: His curiosity leads, nay, forces him to dig far too deep in public matters, which he considers to be his charge to do so; then he quickly exhibits the temerity to be abjectly honest about what he discovers. Therefore, the "two forked proposition" of Hood Richardson, and at some leveled measure of discourse, this Commissioner will not abide other politicians, or their minions believing themselves to also be political players, their corrupt behavior that Hood perceives to have revealed.

These words that I deliver here and NOW are about the best I can muster in explaining what I know about The Hood. I am sorry, as one of The Commissioner's most loyal constituents, that others might find his behavior somewhat inconvenient, but honesty and diligence can often be an impediment to some, while considered a blessing by others.

Again with the lies and misinformation to try and benefit yourself. The Beaufort County Republican Party supported all Republican candidates during the past election. I saw the Beaufort County Republican Party at the Board of Elections working for all candidates. I saw your PAC out there only supporting the ones you wanted. You were attacking fellow Republicans and smearing their names with nasty banners and articles. I’m surprised charges for party disloyalty charges have not been brought against you. I pray that God will come into your heart and remove the hate and anger that resides within you. The citizens of Beaufort County are getting sick of your lies and nastiness. You just want people you can control to do your dirty work. It is my hope you will not be re-elected as commissioner. As you said, you are older than President Biden. Time for new leadership and someone that actually cares about the citizens in this county.
