It is interesting that Gene Scarborough submitted a thought-provoking editorial on hate and then small minds attached a ridiculously skewed "poll" to make the point that the hate wins. We as a Christian nation have surely lost our way and are making ourselves the laughing stock of the world. It is not our President doing this to is - it is small-minded people who refuse to see beyond their own personal wants and prefer to deny others their true needs. This is not the way of Jesus Christ and it is certainly not the way of this country.

To those who prepared the poll - I am not "enamored" by my President. As I have told Mr. Scarborough, I respect my President and his love for his country. I know this to be true because I know of people in his life. Strong, well-educated people who have worked their entire lives to enrich other's lives and come from families who for generations have done the same for this country. These are people who know the President away from the cameras and outside of the Oval Office. These are people who know and believe in his wisdom and strength. These are positive, forward-looking people he chooses to allow in his life.

I am not "enamored" by this President because, for all my faith in him and his wisdom, I know he has made decisions that I don't agree with. However, as a US Air Force Veteran, mother of three strong young men, one of whom has been to war, I know that I don't have access to the military intelligence information, intel reports from other countries, and access to the smartest minds in the world in order for me - a mere citizen who elected this man to act my behalf in such matter, to make the decisions he has made.

Your arm-chair quarterbacking of the Office of the President of the United States, while funny to you and your ilk, is an embarrassment to the American People. There are "those who can" who run for office and are elected to act on your behalf, and then there are those "Who just don't get it" who would rather use very small minds to tear apart a fellow American just because it's funny, and more probably, because they feel that their own influence has been lost in this world - to someone who does not look like them, act like them, or understand their leftover ways of the days of glory before the Age of Reconstruction.

Should our President have known the flag was for Wisconsin? Yes? Is this story even true? Highly doubtful. The media in the US is owned by 6 major corporations and 5 have no love lost for our President. If this story had a shred of truth, it would have been on constant replay on CNN.

Gentlemen - take your anger and your hate and redirect it into something that helps this state and this country. And if you can't do that, then please remember the good Christian rule that everyone learned as a child - If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Paper tiger ... Conservatives are not gonna do much if anything with schools, to change secular studies ... And to compare educational preferences and disputes to the Nazi's is absurd. You should rail about property taxes, and lazy people getting government handouts, Hospital industrial complex... There is no grand conspiracy to turn public school system into brown shirts of the late 30's and early 40s. And who is the leader of the of this grand scheme?

Cool that Powell gives cover to the racist democrats... LBJ's comments tell you all you need to know about the democrat party's opinion of blacks, and the efforts that keep them voting for dems... And the detainees that were interrogated or tortured depending on what you believe torture is... was not a racial issue. To color your opponent's as evil all the time, isn't reality, and re writing history to fit your politics isn't either. And terrorists are not soldiers. Never have been.

They were talking about this on Stossel last Friday on his episode about rising medical costs. He was discussing the benefits of letting the free market into medicine and direct primary care. Stossel makes the argument that by having government and insurance companies in between the customer and business, it lessens the quality of service provided. Additionally, he mentioned this medical service called Pager. www.cnn.com
It is a phone app that allows you to contact a doctor and they come to your house (like doctors used to do.)

I think it was "Bodoni MT Regular." Soon to come: #HATER, #throwbackthursday, "That is like tots cool", "That requires me to think, so no." (applies to other generations too) "OMG I'm like so random!", "Socialism sounds like a good idea!" (Again, applies to several generations,) "My opinion was swayed by a propaganda piece" (applies to early generations too.)

The anonymous mailings on Ashley were illegal because they had no disclosure disclaimer telling who was responsible for the piece. Since the two mailings were illegal, I never expected you to admit to knowing anything about them. Not because I think you wouldn't do it and not because I don't think you wouldn't just silently sit back when you knew someone was doing it.

The atmosphere that instigated this assassination was generated by the Biden campaign and other leftwing Democrats with their over-the-top extreme rhetoric falsely calling conservatives "nazis", 'fascists", "Hitler", "a threat to democracy", etc. This also instigated the two assassination attempts on Trump through this extremist rhetoric. Yet, these people still keep on with this hateful nonsense, continuing to stir the pot. The left glorifies killings like the murder of that health care CEO. They are stirring a cult of violence.

What is bizarre is that such a hateful group working to stir up violence against their adversaries has the gall to smugly denounce opposition to their own agenda as "hate speech". If you suggest that dangerous criminals should be kept in jail instead of out on the street, they call that "hate speech". If you suggest that our federal immigration laws ought to be actually enforced, they call that "hate speech". if you suggest that biological men do not belong in womens and girls locker rooms, restrooms, or sports teams, they call that "hate speech", The list could go on, but it is really the left who are the main perpetrators of what is genuinely hate speech, and Charlie Kirk is just the latest victim of it.

If our society is to pull back from this violence, it is time for the left to lay off their over-the-top extreme rhetoric that leads to violent acts like this.

It is great to see this ruling upholding Title IX as it was written, which protects girls privacy in their school bathrooms and locker rooms. Schoolgirls should not be guinea pigs for woke social experiments of letting biological boys into their facilities. Any thinking person should comprehend why Title IX should be enforced as written. The very school districts in northern Virginia trying to defy that interpretation have already seen rapes as a result of their policies in school bathrooms.

From conversations with other board members, I believe there is strong sentiment on our own Board of Education for protecting our schoolchildren by enforcing Title IX as written.

This issue is certain to come before the US Supreme Court. While this judge in Virginia made a solid and common sense ruling, there is another case on the same issue working its way up from South Carolina, which has a state law that prohibits students of the opposite biological sex from restrooms and locker rooms. When sued by a leftwing activist, they drew a liberal judge in district court and have a liberal, Democrat-dominant Circuit Court of Appeals.

Obama and Biden were hard at work trying to undermine Freedom of Speech both in our own country and abroad. Renowned law professor Jonathan Turley, a big advocate of free speech, called Biden the most anti-free speech president in American history.

Dear Mr. Don Cox

Disrespect, is a word you used in your latest flyer. People have jobs and families that can make them run late for things. You may think this is disrespectful. I think your actions and words are more disrespectful. You should not personally attack your opponents, whomever they are. A personal attack is disrespectful. Why would we vote for you??

Larry was one of the most skilled guys that I've ever known. He could do anything. My Dad (Clyde Sutton) thought that there was nothing like Larry Linton. I wasn't around Larry that long, but he made such a huge impression on me. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

You are absolutely right in that when a person has no platform or basis to sustain a campaign, the only thing he can do is try and trash his opponents in that race. That becomes very obvious when they don't show up for forums.

I believe there's some misdirected anger here in Mr. Clifton's essay. To prove it, just consider the following questions.

Did Goodwin oppose Obamacare's federal insurance intervention? Yes.

Did he work with GOP legislative leaders as they fought Obamacare in court? Yes, as far as I can tell.

Did he support the positions of the insurance agents in our towns as they fought various Obamacare provisions? Yes.

Did he follow state laws written in opposition to Obamacare by the current legislature? Yes.

And, did he take a position that helps insurance companies be able to resurrect previously-canceled NC insurance policies, if they wanted, and help this state's residents who are harmed by Obamacare? Yes, according to the news last week, and including on the Fox news network.

Doesn't the position he took in seeking uncanceled policies actually undermine Obamacare? Yes.

And didn't he recover over $156,000,000 for citizens harmed by Obamacare, money that was sent to the policyholders back from an insurance company? Yes.

Your original headline, "ObamaCare: While NC fiddles, other states carry on fight to protect residents" and the original post make it sound like our insurance commissioner is doing nothing to protect residents. That is far, far from the truth. Many states aren't doing as much as our commissioner of insurance is.

So what is Mr. Clifton's beef with the state insurance commissioner?

As far as I can tell, though, with the vitriol in this Daily Haymaker post, it appears that the only thing wrong with Insurance Commissioner Goodwin is that he is a Democrat. If you're going to oppose him for his voter registration, please don't gin up some false accusations against him. Just admit that you oppose him because of his party registration, regardless of what his policy positions and record are. Otherwise, it only makes our state Republican Party look petty and dishonest.

These are things Beaufort County readers need to know.
