Don't think he is receiving a pension from Beaufort County he retired from the NCSHP so i would think that would be coming from the State of North Carolina. Unless Harry Meridith had 20 years of service with the BCSO he is not drawing a pension neither.

Typical conservative. No original ideas so he calls Coleman names and tells negative stories that can't be corroborated. Reminds me of Stan when he called everyone that disagreed with him a liberal wacko.

Meredith is accusing Coleman of padding his income. He's retired and receiving a pension from Beaufort County. I think it's the kettle calling the skillet black. o

Well, I guess that is what makes the world go around...people seeing things differently.

There was 2 paragraphs that said something about Jordan, the rest was on Coleman and what he is doing and going to try to do! Really, all about Jordan!!!

(commented on September 29th, 2014 @ 8:04 pm)
I did not get out of this that Meredith was accusing Coleman of padding his income. He was just flat out saying Coleman is incompetent to do the job he is running for and he is so right!!! All Coleman can do is threaten and intimidate people. I have voted Republican all my life but I will not be this time around. And maybe both of you need to reread this! You obviously did not get what was trying to be said, or maybe you both are in Coleman's pocket, too!!!

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?

(commented on January 12th, 2015 @ 8:11 pm)
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.

Hood, your view on the new NCGOP Plan of Organization is very different from most NC conservatives.

A few weeks before the NCGOP state convention, I was one of five panelists on the subject of the then proposed new Plan at a statewide meeting of the Conservative Coalition of North Carolina (CCNC). Two panelists supported the Plan, with reservations> Three of us felt the concerns outweighed any benefits. After the panel, the CCNC as a body voted unanimously to oppose the new proposed Plan and circulate flyers on its flaws.

Generally, the new Plan of Organization continues to increase the top-down control of the party at the expense of the influence of the grassroots.

Some of the objections were:

- Until now, there has always been at least one path to offer Plan amendments from the convention floor and pass them by simple majority. Now that has been raised to 2/3rds and only then after first submitting the amendment 15 days in advance to the Plan of Organization Committee.

- the Arbitration Committee is no longer objectively established but instead is personally handpicked by the state chairman for each case.

- Until now, party chairmen at all levels have had "general supervision of the party with the advice and consent of the executive committee". The new Plan removes the language on the the advice and consent of the executive committee.-

- until now, the Plan has had roles for various party committees in legislative candidate recruitment. Those are all removed in the new Plan. This comes as legislative leadership, which historically has not been that conservative has been working to assert itself as the source of legislative candidate recruitment instead of the party structure doing it. Party activists tend to look for candidates who will represent local interests and conservative principles, while the legislative leadership is looking for yes-men who will do what they are told.

- it makes amendments to the Platform and to the Resolutions report much more difficult. These can no longer be offered from the convention floor unless submitted 15 days in advance to the committee (and the party these days has not even been offering contact information on committee leaders). Most delegates have not even read those reports by that time, so they are denied an opportunity to participate. The new Plan also requires a 2/3rd vote to change anything the committees have done, compared to a simple majority vote now.

There is lots more. I have been attending state GOP conventions since 1973 and served on the state Plan of Organization Committee myself five times, chairing it twice, and this ranks as the worst proposed Plan I have ever seen, even worse than last year's failed Plan.

As to the Victory Committee, the local Republican Party has had something like it for a long time. When I was county GOP chairman in the 1980s, we called it the Campaign Committee. These committees operate to support all Republican candidates at General Election time and do not get involved in primaries.

This is an absolutely shameful act by Josh Stein, and an insult both to the state of North Carolina and to the United States. We need to kick this anti-American clown out of office in 2028.

It is inconceivable to me that our local governments do not seek applicants for top management positions from the private sector. When I served in the Jim Martin administration in state government, almost all of our top management personal got their management experience in the private sector, NOT the public sector, and it worked fine. The bigger the pool of applicants for a local management job, the more choices the governing body has.

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.
