When I was first elected county commissioner, here in Beaufort County back in November, 1994, I was told I was a brilliant man, and a great communicator, the perfect complement to a Democrat board of county commissioners.

It is a very important question since the Democrats are driving the fiscal bus, and have been for the last four years. The obvious question is: Will they drive the nation over the fiscal cliff on Monday?

In a word - yes, but that only emphasizes the Candidate's "short game". I used the vernacular of avid golfer because I hear that the Candidate's golfing abilities have only improved since he has been it office.

Recently, I sent these few words to an old friend, and I thought: Why not do more of this? They are just a few glib remarks, but they let people know where I am coming from, and while I always understand where I am coming from, and where I intend to get to, others may not.

After watching the Socialists scramble to manage the message of how the Narcissist-in-Chief got his intellectual butt kicked in the first debate, there is a common narrative evolving: "Mitt Romney lied so hard that their candidate could not keep up with them."

Governor Mitt Romney embraced his first presidential debate, with vigor, and an enthusiastic optimism to project the truth, unfiltered and unencumbered, and thus intellectually bloodied Candidate Obama, and his office of new socialistic ideals for his odd vision of an Obama shaped America.

I haven't talked about it much lately, but the Democrats still think that I am a Democrat, and in such a timely manner, I just received this correspondence from Progress NC Action, a liberal Democrat squawk group, loudly professing one inane idea after another.

Candidate Barack Obama, arguably the most inept president since Jimmy Carter - and because of his complete inarguable abject dishonesty, I will make the argument of his being the most inept - believes he deserves four more years to complete the work he set out to do - make this a socialist nation.

I shouldn't care really. I have often worked harder for a cause than the cause actually deserved. It is my nature, I suppose, to toil in the vineyards diligently, and know strongly my purpose, which at one time was to do my best to actually help my Republican party to stand for something.
