This is the great myth, the great deception in America.

Liberals wring their hands about hunger and poverty, yet:

1. Many children are overweight, some obese like never before;

2. Walk into a school lunchroom, and any rightly raised person will cringe at the amount of food wasted by so many "hungry" children;

3. Employers are desperate to find workers, but cannot because there are so many jobs that 'Americans will not do', and many mindless Liberals would add, 'should not be asked to do'.

4. People in "poverty" whiling away their work-less hours using their "smart phones", while employing their flat screen TV's, jobless since there are so many 'jobs that they should not be asked to do', growing fatter by the day, aging closer to diabetes;

5. And yet still: "one in four NC children face hunger".

No wise person with a full working brain buys this Liberal drivel; however, if this nation is not Righted in intellectual principle, and quickly, far more than "one in four NC children (will) face hunger", including many adults, who never learned to work and Hip Hopped their way through public schools, and did not learn a damn thing.

Here, I agree with the late great Sam Cooke, "A Change is Gonna Have to Come".

One of my great privileges as publisher of Beaufort County NOW is that I have the wonderful opportunity to converse with my varied, creative and principled contributors, either in the BCN's comment section, or by private message. A number of these contributors, all my friends growing closer by the day, are veterans of foreign wars or married to veterans.

They are all good men and women, intelligent, and what they have to express or profess is important enough to me that I will move heaven and earth to continue their content,and keep it well exposed for all perpetuity.

They deserve nothing less.

Kool Aid it is.

In the memorials, it was mentioned that Roger Ailes 'was not there to build a channel as retort to Left, but to report all the news that was left out'.

For me, as one who has been the butt of the biased Liberal /Crony Media, I well appreciate the truth within this anecdotal comment.

I can see that.

Mr. Ailes was a visionary in more ways than one. People don't read much, and, subsequently, their writing is often atrocious, and very uninspired.

I have read much in my life, but I have read few books in the last two decades. At least I have an excuse; reading agendas and then minutes took much time, and BCN requires much reading, and always will.

Fortunately, I choose to do little reading on Facebook.

Very well put B.T.

After serving for 18 years with about 20 different county commissioners, let me make this abundantly clear: Less that 10% of these commissioners understood the true precepts of the constitution. About another 20% had digested just enough of the document to be dangerous, and the remaining 70% did not have a clue what they swore to when they were installed into office.

I would estimate that this could, sadly, well represent the public that elected them.

One need look any further to the idiot Democrats now rising to call for Impeachment of a recently elected Republican president when there is no crime, nor has the nation been damaged in any real way.

Good analogy B.T., but, I think the larger issue at hand is that Comey was in a difficult made far worse by the triumvirate of corruption: Hussein Obama, L. Hillary and Loretta Lynch.

Speaking of Obstruction of Justice, these three were in control that real justice would go lacking, and Comey was simply a diligent, dutiful pawn.

Excellent points TMc in this oh too politically correct America, where truth is the first casualty.

In my early days as a county commissioner (1995), I had a vote to remove the North Carolina Confederate Battle Flag from flying in front of the Beaufort County court house, and I pushed hard for its sustained placement there. A decade or more later, the votes were not there to keep it flying, but I then helped craft a compromise for the NC Battle Flag to fly on Confederate Memorial Day at least to honor their sacrifice to an unsustainable cause.

One day soon, it will be gone forever, and that is so very sad that Southerners would turn their backs on their forefathers' past deeds - good or bad.

One of the Funniest TV Shows of all time - "Curb Your Enthusiasm"

If anyone questions why Larry is so abjectly messed up, one only need to take a good look at his "Curb" father, Shelley Berman. What a great scene here below:

Yes T.A., I have been to The Wall - twice.

Shortly after I became a Beaufort County Commissioner, ins 1995, I was with a delegation of North Carolina officials, who were flown up to Andrews AFB in a C-130.

We were given: a private tour of the Pentagon; the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier's Changing of the Guard; and finished at The Wall. More than once that day, I wiped a tear from my eye.

If anyone thinks that I take that whole Patriot thing way too far, this trip to memorialize our greatest Patriots, is, in part, to blame. Standing there at the ominous Wall, watching the Changing of the Guard, standing at the foot of Lt. Audie Murphy's grave, I pledge to serve with dignity all the while I was allowed to as a county commissioner.

About 19 years later, serving with dignity became a liability in the Beaufort County Republican Party, so all thing must come to an end, however, doing my small part to honor all Patriots, who served and sacrificed so much, gave me the opportunity to, in some small way, join the ranks of what means to be a Patriot.

That trip to The Wall offered me the unique perspective to help put me on the proper path, here, in this awesome regard.

This simple premise is the great irony of our age - smartphones are helping in making people more stupid.

This mini maxim is to adults and children of all ages: Put your smart phone down, learn how to think critically, learn how to write with purpose, learn how to read for retention, and know that you must get smarter, so try a little humility as well.

I am more inclined to appreciate the approach of Devin Nunes in the house.

So far the Senate committee has revealed nothing. The House Select committee has revealed Susan Rice and Obama's involvement. That is the level of true bipartisanship that I can appreciate.

I swear Bobby Tony: I don't know whether to accuse you of vintage Bill Clinton, or vintage Bobby Tony.

Do you ever wonder what would have become of the philandering Bill Clinton if he were a Republican? What position would he now hold with NOW (National Organization of Woman) if he were a Republican?

You might not be able count on much from Liberals, but one thing one can always count on - their abject hypocrisy.

You know Ted, some folks just can't take a joke.

Some workplace harassment is serious, but, much of the PC outrage is just silly.

Thanks for standing up to it, and effectively telling them to kiss your ass.

Excellent Analogy Bobby Tony, only, I started with this back in 2009, which makes this about an 8 year ongoing venture, so I was about 54 years old when I began.

Colonel Sanders owned his secret recipe, and I own the distinct, unique code for two content management systems (CMS): Symbiotic Publisher, which powers BCN; and Symbiotic Core Systems, which will large, multidimensional site. Yes, there is a big brother to the system that powers BCN so effectively.

The biggest difference between me and the Colonel is that everyone understands food, few people understand how to be effective on the internet.

Facebook does not help with its often inefficient, dumbed down site; and the stupefying, charlatan practice of Search Engine Optimization.

Now, if I can sell enough people being smarter about how they use the internet, you will be able to say that "I knew that guy when." Everyday, I wish that you and i will have that long of a life.

Here is a new site, in its infancy - just born - that employs the Symbiotic Core Systems CMS.

If only we had hooked up 15 years ago, and SNI had already been formed, and we had found the that path where we were developing a content management system (CMS) as competent as Symbiotic Publisher, and BCN was running to the point that we had all these contributors, and you still felt this outstanding need to express all your mirth and wisdom that comes with some folks growing older, and, and ... and ... What if?

My offer will always stand for good friend Bobby Tony, and any good friends he may assimilate of a like, good and competent nature.

It sounds like here in real life, he got the girl. Another very interesting Bobby Tony story of an original life lived.

And Thank-you Gordon for the reflective, thoughtful comments on an issue that is very important to the betterment of society - the praise for what is noble and good and worthwhile.

If you still are located in northwest Georgia, BCN welcomes another addition to what I like to refer to as our Georgia Mafia.
