THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED FOR DEMOCRACY TO WORK MORE SMOOTHLY AND TRY TO RESOLVE THE HATE THESE DAYS . . .

BT---you and I are both Baptist and I assume you are familiar with the political activities when the Conservatives took if over with the mantra: "The end justifies the means to it." Perhaps you are aware of a situation where the pastor of any local church was dismissed. Most people assume some kind of moral failure had to be involved.
This is but a snapshot of politics these days. We have moved from "simple differences of opinion" to "all Muslims are going to hell and the President is a Muslim." That has been uttered non-stop as the Pope visits America. Mike Huckabee was a member of the Conservative Resurgence few individuals involved at the core. His name is among the dozen or so who met in airports to plan and scheme. He became the President of the Southern Baptist Convention as further proof of the "rewards of conservatism." Each of the megachurch pastors has been appointed to head a Board or Agency as their buddies ruled from the President appointing a Committee on Committees to the point actual individuals become a Chairman or Board President. The problem many have is failure to admit to rule by "Oligarchy" --- the opposite of a real Democracy. Unfortunately, I am finding the means to educate myself on removal of my Bobcat rear lift piston seal which busted on the machine I am trying now to sell. A $42,000 new machine cost is easily outweighed to simply repair the cylinder spurting fluid. If you would help me by using your superior analysis skills on social group management, it would probably not have oil and grease covering your keypad as mine will be today. Like my repair issue which shut down the mighty machine yesterday and has it parked beside a street in Bath, I am trying to tell Stan --- |
Gene, you make a good point that your presence provides and alternate position to the publisher's viewpoint. Your use of the "Obviously Conservative" handle, which the publisher accepts as truth, begs the question of why you do not except the "Obviously Liberal" handle. We have been down the road on test being designed to bring all toward the center. Perhaps a good post on what is a good Liberal, Progressive, and Democratic Socialist is would be worth the effort.
I can only assume that since you believe that Conservative is a pejorative term which is thrown like a dagger you also believe that Liberal is the same and thus your reluctance to accept it. If you will look at your stats under the BCN Member list at the top of the pages you will see that you have (206 article(s) & (1,477 comment(s). That is hardly something that qualifies as being gagged and censored. Where you are getting off base is your tendency to use nonfactual references to specific points and then extrapolate some sinister reason for action. If you reduce the hyperbole and overly exaggerated adjectives perhaps, your points would carry more weight. Simple logic and facts should be enough to make a point without resorting to the Stamp Parade. Try to lighten up and enjoy the ride sometimes. beaufortcountynow.com |
The basic plus of my presence is that a publication so obviously conservative and of the Tea Party variety has an alternate position from me and 2 others. It has grown in readership and my posts are getting abut 200+ hits each one.
If Stan likes my ability to write and we live in a free country with political issues, then he would be wise to allow for some variety and differences, in my view. When I have gotten most serious in recent articles of a view opposite his, he calls me a liberal and liar. In reality --- and according to the tests you posted and I took --- I am just outside the middle block and to the moderate edge. That is far from the depiction Stan likes to give me without logic or proof of his analysis. Go figure, my brother . . . |
BCN has the ability to remove two of the three ingredients to smother this firestorm (audience and access) and yet GS you continue to childishly taunt. Like Don Quixote, I suspect you see this as a quest when it is merely a discussion requiring factual basis for ascertains made on this forum.
GS, this is not a free speech issue, you were invited to attend and required to register in order to make comments and post. BCN has the sole discretion on what is allowed on this forum. It is just like your Facebook page "Democrats Active in Beaufort County for Change (link below)" where you have control over content and require registration to make comments or post there. Save the ad hominem comments for that page, engage here with real debate and not talking points or slander. www.facebook.com "The laws are even MORE restrictive when you are in a private location. This includes a private person's home, their car, their back yard, and their private web forum. All of these are owned by an individual and are governed by the rules of that individual. This is a critical part of law, that an individual has full rights over what is said in the location they own. It is nonsensical for a person in that situation to complain, "but I can paint my house blue in Orlando, Florida, so I should be able to do it here too." That comparison has nothing to do with the rules of the private entity. If a private entity chooses to make rules about X or Y, then those rules are in force in that private location. They are legally binding. The same is true for a web forum. A web forum is a private location, run by a private entity, and maintaining a set of rules for all forum members to abide by. Those rules are publicly posted and all members need to abide by them.(1 ref available)". The solution is simple, "Admit you used inaccurate information in your comments or that you did not bother to confirm the accusations, or produce specific facts to back your assertions". Maybe we can then get back to real debate of issues. |
PLEEESE DON'T KEEEEEL ME MISSA STAN . . . I be sweet, I be sweeet

There is no free speech for known dishonesty on BCN. It is known as slander, and your next comment pertaining to me or anything to do with the governing of Beaufort County will be blocked. Lies will not be tolerated here.
Or, you can truthfully explain what and when I voted to waste the People's treasure, and then you may be restored fully to the BCN community. Your choice. |
There is a vast difference between "we shall agree to disagree" and "you are dishonest." One is the American right of free speech. The second is the way of the Nazi which was "agree and obey or I KEEEL EWE!"
|
Gene, then answer the last question posed by me, or just sincerely apologize for your dishonesty.
It is that simple. |
Stan is now bordering on Dictator over Publisher. He has been omitting a comment section on my recent posts as proof of the pudding!
To "agree to disagree" is honorable / to stop comments which do not worship his type of Conservatism (Tea Party) is dictatorial. If Stan and others will kindly read my description of the takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention --- his kind of conservatives have destroyed a great democratic ministry tool which is now falling apart rapidly . . . |

The Christmas candy was barely off the shelves when the Valentine’s candy appeared. Red and pink hearts with caramel and nut-filled chocolate goodness caught our eye. We are reminded of how we love love. Young love, especially.
