This laughable tirade of Comrade Cooper would be more appropriate to The Onion or the Babylon Bee. It is pure fiction. The real problem was partisan Democrat hacks on the previous court abusing power and legislating leftwing dogma from the bench. Thank goodness we have a court that is putting a stop to that nonsense.

I represent what I know to be wise, and that which I embody within the core of my political person, that which I held myself out to be when I run for office.

That is what I represent. When my constituency grows, then a greater number know who represents them. That is my evolving qauge.

This is how all truly honest politicians know it to be. I did not make up the rules, but I am well aware that this is how it works.

Stan, Are you saying you only represent those who voted for you?

Like all Leftists, you are now calling me a "Fascist," as if you would actually know what a "Fascist" is?

Big Bob, "if that is your real name," I will now pull intellectual rank on you when it comes to the United States Government, and how it works:

I have constituents, many of whom have been with me through 7 successful elections, and the closer I am to an election, the closer I know who my constituents are, and the better they KNOW who I am.

Once I am elected, I am their voice, and I will submit to all, I am their wise voice, and until I step down or am unelected, I remain their political voice. Accordingly, I will do all within my power to govern accordingly as I see fit to do so in a manner in which I have held myself out to be, in a manner that is fitting to what I believe to be their concerns.

That is an awesome responsibility that I take most seriously, ergo, I stridently defend my constituents against the like of Leftists, such as yourself, your representatives.

While you believe this to be some little cute cliched game that you think you could understand as well as someone such as myself, I assure you this is serious business; and, when I am sitting as a representative of my constituents' voice in this local government, I am actively defending my constituents from the like of those, who elect your representatives, whose actions often run counter with those of my constituents' basic interests.

You have to know that what you flippantly think is real does NOT often align with what my constituents know to be true, and that they will, and they do expect their representatives, such as myself, to stand as a bulwark against much of what you expect your representatives to likewise flippantly enact that my constituents consider detrimental.

Big Bob, you can do and act as you wish, even here, within certain parameters, on ENC NOW, where I hold total control; however, I warn you that I become most suspicious of individuals operating under an alias who flippantly accuse real people of substance of being a "Fascist."

That is similar to recent advice by the UK's National Health Service that most children with gender confusion grow out of it. The British NHS advised doctors not to even suggest new names or pronouns, and certainly not major physical interventions like surgery or drugs.

In the US, we have two many corporate medical organizations like VIdant / ECU Health that have dollar signs in their eyes and are willing to sacrafice the wellbeing of children for that cash. Doctors who do genital mutilation surgery on children or give them the chemical castration drugs are something of a cross between the fictional Dr. Victor Frankenstein and the all too real Dr. Josef Mengele.

"Sure differences divide us, but we all love our country."

NO.

I watched as much as could stomach of Ly'n' Joe Bid'n' - www.beaufortcountynow.com - in his State of the Union Fantasy Drivel, and I have long served with Democratic Socialists, and so-called Republicans, who believe in a Wide OPEN Southern Border, where this Republic is invaded daily, in plain sight, so NO Big Bob, "but we all love our country" is not on any table of reality for me and my constituents.

Putting up illegal aliens, who should not even be here in the first place, in luxury hotels at taxpayer expense is revolting. Not only is New York City doing that but so is the UK. If they have to put them somewhere, why not a disused prison? Better yet, New York City has airline connections to almost anywhere, and lots of international direct flights. A plane ticket home would be a lot cheaper that a bunch of nights in a luxury hotel. We need to do what the Netanyahu government in Israel just committed itself to, and that is sending every illegal alien in the country back to where they came from.

Wow, Finally a recollection that meshes with mine. Living in Atl at the time I knew I could go whenever I wanted so I didn't. I can only remember one concert I went to. It was for Jean Luc Ponty. Awesome show! The seats that I recall were church pews with cushions but without without legs so they were flat on the floor. You were so close to the artist! In one break I went for a bucket of beer and saw 2 members of Kansas playing pinball. One show you didn't mention was the Sex Pistols. Their first US appearance. I had a friend try to convince me to go with him but I wasn't a fan so missed that experience.

Phil Berger and Tim Moore are spendthrifts for backing this taxpayer ripoff Medicaid expansion. They are betraying the taxpayers of North Carolina. So is that Jim Perry. How did we ever get stuck with him as our senator, anyway? Every major issue he touches, he seems to act more like a Democrat. Hopefully our state representatives will continue to stand up for our taxpayers. Keith Kidwell has been a real hero on helping stop this bad legislation.

A tad dramatic but we can agree to disagree. In the end, I think we're all Americans with shared interests. Sure differences divide us, but we all love our country.
