Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?
57.89% We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.
5.26% This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.
36.84% This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.
0% I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.

About

I am a 1946-born first year member of the Baby-boomer Generation. At age 69 now, I feel I have enough experience to make some observations. Whether they are "wise" or not ~~~ is up to you.

I DO know how to communicate. I was an Ordained full time Baptist Minister for 16 years. I am still available for Interim or Supply duties. I "preach about God and preach about 20-minutes!" Anyone can ramble on and on until 12:30 or 1:00, but most people's minds can't absorb more than their tails can endure!

I became the Eastern NC Life Insurance Representative for Ministers Life Insurance. My territory ranged (by zip code) from Durham southward to Wilmington. In addition to my Emory University degree in Psychology / my Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary at Wake Forest (far different than what it is now) in 1970. I served churches in NC / SC / GA. I guess you could call me a Citizen of the SE.

I hold the Life Underwriters Training Council Fellow (LUTCF) degree which takes a minimum 3 years to obtain plus a Series 6 Securities License. I was honored by the Rocky Mount Association of Life Underwriters as "Underwriter of the Year" in 1999. Many there consider it the Academy Award for local Insurance Professionals.

I started a new business when Hurricane Floyd hit Eastern NC and did it's worst damage to Rocky Mount. It allowed me to use my life and learning skills in tree care/removal as "Affordable/Professional Tree Surgeons." I still do specialized care of trees in Beaufort County and surrounding areas. I love to save old trees and give them another 100 years far more than just taking them out! I am probably the only Tree Surgeon with an Emory University Degree. Most of their Surgeons practice medicine in great cities and famous Medical Centers.

The most amazing thing about holding a theological degree and not being dressed in suit-and-tie or robe is PEOPLE CONFIDE IN ME! After I have earned their trust by taking down a seemingly impossible dangerous tree from over their house, we talk. They are far more honest than people were when I was their Preacher / Financial Adviser / Insurance Specialist in Estate Tax Planning.

My most important degree comes from the School of Hard Knocks (SOHK). To earn it you have to have a propensity to honesty and integrity. You have to be willing to speak the truth in love rather than tell folks what they want to hear. Even more important~~~you have to be willing to live what you preach on Sunday. That's not easy, but the rewards have Golden Gates attached. In this day of scheming and deception it is not very popular in business nor politics, it seems. HOWEVER, I still find friends who practice what they preach and have brains to see through the smoke-and-mirrors of life today.

One other thing: WE CAN ALWAYS AGREE TO DISAGREE on anything!!!

Ever since Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson formed their political groups and began to consciously influence US politics, we have had a problem.

Lest you are going to assume I am saying the Pope forced the Speaker of the House (3rd in line as President), you are jumping to far too much a conclusion about a so-called "liberal."

Stan--- have you looked at my bio of late. It ends with "we can agree to disagree." I am finding this current attitude of yours "MOST DISAGREEABLE" --- but I continue to try and be nice . . .

I restated the question, as per your request, and you are still sending me links to wacked-out Liberal sites for the answers to that question asked many times over.

If you truly want to be taken seriously, you should have real facts to back-up your posts assertions that those that you could never understand are such bad people. Otherwise, you are just patently dishonest like so many other Liberals before you.

Gene, I'm not very good at writing very short articles, as you may or may not have already noticed. And I apologize for that. I wish I had more time to write but I'm limited due to the time I have to spend teaching and planning. If you have time, I might suggest that you join the Beaufort Tea Party Patriots when they have constitutional seminars or maybe come visit with my group sometime - the Eastern NC Tea Party, which meets in Greenville. Our first meeting is on Tuesday night, at 6:00 pm at McAllister's Deli (corner of Charles Blvd and Greenville Blvd, which is near the ECU baseball stadium). Our guest speaker will be Philip Law, who will be challenging Walter Jones next year for the congressional seat from our district (3rd district). It will be an informal meeting, since it is the first meeting we've had since last year. Our subsequent meetings will deal with topics and issues, including Nullification and an Article V Convention (Convention of States), Jury Nullification, the Flag v. the 1st Amendment, the Johnson Amendment, Common Core, Gay Rights v. Religious Rights, etc. Thanks so much for reading my article and for all your comments. I appreciate it.

Diane
