Big Bob: You still have not made any salient point, while I only speak in total truth.

You might not like my real truths, but that is your Leftist failing, not mine.

Big Bob: Once again, I have no idea what your point is.

My point is that confirmed Leftists may be educated far beyond their level of comprehension, but most are not that smart. That is a confirmed fact that is playing out right before US, everyday.

Big Bob, the Left is certainly NOT "the educated public."

If the Left was the barometer for "the educated public," then the condemnation of our failing or failed Education Industry would be rightful on all possible counts.

The Non Patriot Left is that stupid, and is proven everyday. Big Bob, you even pitch to help with that derogatory conclusion on a fairly regular basis.

Far from being "educated", the left just follows it own narrtive and they want to make education of our children to be indoctrination into that narrative.

I think George Orwell had it right when he wrote that "Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them".

Big Bob, I would add to what John Steed said. The vast majority of leftists do not understand the Constitution nor the history behind it. When they become enlightened, they change their ways. The left is terrified of an educated public.

You actually think nobody on the left has read the constitution? That might be the dumbest thing ever posted in this publication. Congrats.

The problem is that we have a liberal "tax and spend" county manager, and a pathetic yes man county commission chairman, Frankie Waters who eats out of his hand, coupled with two Democrats who are also tax and spend lefties. I would have thought that Randy Walker and John Rebholz were smarter than to fall in with Waters, but apparently not.

If you look at Frankie Waters history, he was the former chairman of the old Tri-County Telephone who ran it into the ground, where it had to be sold off to an outfit from the western part of the state. Having our county finances controlled by a leftist career bureaucrat, Alligood, and a financial failure like Waters is a recipe for disaster. Career bureaucrat Jerry Langley is the third major force in running county govenrment, and he is an ideological tax and spender, very much to the left.

After reading the human side of taxes, I understand this a lot better. Seems that most of the board is out to destroy as many people as possible with high taxes. Just like the govt. set out to destroy small businesses during the covid "emergency".

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.
