What arrogant idiots the progressives running our county government are. Citizens are suffering from massive inflation with skyrocketing gas and food prices, and instead of the tax cut our commissioners could and should have given us, they pile on even more spending which will be certain to raise our taxes next year, when we will probably be in a deep recession if not worse. Most of this spending was for unnecessary fluff like the $95,000 director of communications. While our population has shrunk by 3,000 people according to the census, our governing progressives have added MORE county employees. This is an outrage.
Progressives range from the fake "Republican" Frankie Waters, who was an active Democrat until just before he filed to run as a "Republican" for commissioner, and then has functioned as a Democrat since he has been on the commission, to admitted Democrats like Ed Booth and Jerry Langley. They are all the same, the Democrat progressives and the Fifth Column "Republican" progressives. Frankie Waters is the Mitt Romney of Beaufort Countyu. I used to respect Randy Walker, but after he was publicly attacked by Frankie Waters at the Beaufort GOP candidate forum, even though he is not on the ballot this year, he has cowardly caved in to Frankie Waters on this spendthrift budget. Maybe Randy saw the "cancel culture" jihad that Frankie Waters unleashed to try to destroy Stan Deatherage's small business, and had concerns Frankie might target him too. Our Beaufort County government is the same sort of swamp we have in Washington, DC, just on a smaller scale. To drain the swamp, the most urgent task is to defeat Frankie Waters, the most vile snake in the swamp. |
The self professed "progressives" are in control of Beaufort County's Commissioners, and the governing of all of Beaufort County's tax payers.

I reckon one could always argue that ignorance rests in the eyes of the beholder, but, I'm not taking that bet ... not in these Orwellian times, when so few of our fellow travelers know so little of what is real, and far too much of what otherwise might be terminally fake.

I have been in politics and governing for about 30 years, and I have never seen it this corrupt, or the players so obviously stupid, and still getting away with it ... so far.
The real truth is a tough adversary to run from, and we are readying ourselves here to unleash a whole bunch of it as time permits.
