Commented on What is a Veteran?It si weird how this happens, but one thing that I am sure of: Posts resonate when there are much information in them.
Having said that, I think I know why BCN may have edged down a little in traffic of late, although we are still doing very well in a relative sense: Search is favoring posts that are tailored more to the Millennial generation, which BCN could never fully do. We reflect a more broad section of knowledge submitted by any, all contributors, and some subjects just are not interesting to this self absorbed generation that yearns to be "Liked". Hopefully, they will grown up at some point.

Commented on Business Social Media and Crowdfunding WorkshopsAll of this Social media promotion, and Word Press as the only CMS, as is promoted by the Beaufort County Community College, is rather disconcerting since: Social Media is proved to waste far too much of people's time, and may also prove to have sociological ramifications that reach far into the realm of the psychosis level for some folks; plus Word Press is proved to be an inferior CMS to some others, including our local Symbiotic Publisher, which powers BCN.
It makes me wonder: Why is a center of higher learning so myopic on these issues, where they are publicly funded to the level that they should know better. As soemone deep within the know of these issues, it leaves me with vey little confidence in this institution in this rather prevalent subject.

Commented on What is a Veteran?Big Amen Bobby Tony.
I like the way you use the space, and your creative tendencies with the coding to well explain yourself. Your reach-out abilities do find their mark. Remarkably this post of yours - beaufortcountynow.com - is the 16th highest post in views in the history of BCN, and still climbing. One never knows when they hit the mark. -

Thank God, it was not a long drawn out book review telling me what the author intended rather than what he wrote.
Actually, this is the first minimalist book review I have ever read, come to think of it.

Commented on What is a Veteran?Thank-you Bobby Tony for your heart felt sermon of what constitutes a veteran.
I especially would love to here the story of your combat brother who was tried for desertion. I take your word that he was a veteran, irrespective of the outcome of his court martial, and, I'm sure you will concur that he was a patriot as well. My heart goes out for all who can't make the measure, every minute, or every day during the Hell that was the Vietnam War. God bless him, and may God bless you, and all your veteran brothers on your Veterans' Day. You damn well earned it, and I am, and will be forever in your debt.

Commented on Wilfed Boykin - A dedicated teacher vs Class ClownGreat post B.T., as you have unveiled the unique and totally unboring spark that we could have within us all; the spark that makes our lives and enriches the lives of others.
This is what I refer to as a positive message, and we need that badly right now.

I did, but not on Friday nights.
I probably had two concussions from football. We led with our helmets in those days on many tackles. It was rough back then. The crack-back blocks were murderous on my knees. The only "God Wink" could be that I started smoking a bunch of pot my Senior Year, and continued down that terrible path, which grew much worse, until I was about 20 years old, and then I made an abrupt turn around, and got a whole lot less stupid real fast. Now, I despise narcotics, and believe that even pot can be inherently evil. Regardless, it can make users incredibly stupid, and measurably so. I don't drink much either, and have never smoked cigarettes. My greatest bad habit is that I refuse to sleep enough. I feel like I might miss out on something, I reckon. If I live long enough, I hope to make God proud. Often, I try really hard.

That is close to my helmet, or, maybe, that is my helmet Junior Year, before a badly torn ACL ended my once-promising hopes and dreams.

No face-mast for so many players. When I played 9 years later, I not only had a double horizontal bar, but a vertical bar too.
They gave me the extra vertical bar since I had to double up as middle linebacker on defense. No platooning for about 6 of us on our team. I was on the field on every play except kickoffs (defending) and punts (both defending and receiving).

Lying Hillary has broken so many laws - some misdemeanors, others felonies - that there is no way she will make it through her first two years as president if there were enough patriots in the next congress.
Of course, lying to congress is a very serious offense as well.

I predict they, the Democrat Media, will tire of the revelations quickly since it does not conform to their motivations, and then there will be a new group of Liberals and Middlecrats who might ask, when it all turns really bad: Where did this come from?

Commented on Where is James Carville when they really need him?If one believes that L. Hillary has a clear road ahead of her, whether she wins the election or not, they will probably get their feelings hurt down that road.
Next time you look at L. Hillary, just imagine a sinking ship. I'm thinking of the Titanic right now. I never liked the theme from the film "Titanic", you know, the one sung by Celine Dion, but I am starting to think it has a certain ring to it.

I know I ask much of you B.T., but could you put a few more paragraphs to this and let me promote it as a post. Email eruption committee is rich. It is only a matter of time before the deleted /bleach-bit emails surface. If the Russians have them, they will surface.

Bobby tony, I have also wondered is the Democrat Media totally oblivious to principles or incredibly stupid, like your Mika there at MSNBC.
The Donald is a flawed candidate and has his own flaws as a candidate, but he is no criminal. Hillary and Bill have known multiple levels of criminality, and that is growing.

Pansy voiced and incredible idiot Harry Reid stated that his unprincipled 'Democrat office determined that Comey may have violated the Hatch Act, which bars government officials from using their authority to influence elections.' If that was the case shouldn't Hussein the Inept park Air Force One, and Michele sit her ass home as well.
Two things about committed Liberals: They generally aren't too smart, and they usually can be bought for a few pieces of silver ... except for Philandering Bill and Lying Hillary. Their pattern of graft comes at stratospheric price.

I put part of this post on FB to see if it would get any traction and it di and it will probably continue to see some action.
However, what astounded me is just how prevalent the pro Hillary propaganda is being passed around by Liberals as it there was any truth to it. Here below is an exchange between me and a young Liberal by the name of Jessica Buchwald. If I insinuated that people that believe unsubstantial propaganda as if was truth, then that was my intention. I don't apologize, nor did I demand an apology from this person for being a product of America's education system, in which I have plenty of taxes for her education, as well as many others, and would be within my right to demand a refund. Here below is the exchange between this patriot and that committed Liberal who only consumes propaganda to enhance her nebulous intellect. Jessica Buchwald: Benghazi happened because of the republican congress cutting funding after multiple requests by HRC not to do so...so that is a complete fabrication that that was her fault at all...she didn't have an illegal server, she had a private server that she had her private messages on and there is absolutely no evidence that she had any confidential messages on it...so that theory has been debunked...she doesn't make arms deals...there are plenty of democratic patriots...a lot that especially don't want someone that brags about sexually assaulting women (while he was married) that has multiple failed marriages, multiple bankruptcies, has been sued and settled thousands of fraud cases because he is a crook, has zero experience or political knowledge (as evidenced by him constantly blaming HRC for not getting laws passed when she was a Senator because a Senator only has one vote...out of hundreds so she has zero power to get anything passed as a single individula) I mean the list goes on and on.... Stan Deatherage: Jessica Buchwald - Well, you are a true believer of all propaganda, a committed Liberal with no discernible appreciation for any principles whatsoever. By your level of intellect, I reckon you figure it was the Republicans' fault that Hussein and L. Hillary left them all to die, and the Republicans told them to lie about a 'despicable video' being the cause of the attack when all at the CIA annex did not die, and their story lived on. Oh, those mean -spirited Republicans; the things they make cross-eyed stupid Liberals do. Jessica Buchwald: Well Stan, thank you for giving me yet another example of how rude and insensitive Trump supporters are if someone dares disagree with them...by calling me stupid. Since I have no desire to stoop down to your level of desperation to start an argument, I will just bid you good night sir. I hope you have a nice evening. Stan Deatherage: Jessica Buchwald, I don't like Trump, but I will vote for him because he is not her, and all she represents. If that is rude and insensitive: "DEAL ME IN!" A word of advice: Be careful how you throw unsubstantial pseudo facts around. Not everyone is stupid. There are real folks in America that look askance at drivel masquerading as the facts of Liberals who won't take the time to know stuff. If my exchange seemed "rude" and "insensitive", then do not come into my space and support the unsupportable with propaganda built by liars. It is one of the few things that i will not tolerate.

Remember this: If L. Hillary gets elected, and then there is a transition of power, where she becomes president. She can stil be impeached, if there are enough patriots in congress.
On another note, the best one liner that I heard today came from FOX News's Carl Cameron: 'It's ironic that the Clinton campaign could be derailed by yet another Weiner probe'.

Commented on Here is a worthwild Charity that You should considerB.T., we could put together a bunch of posts out of our comments from this funny little video.
I familiar with Mike Powers, and advocated his/my ideas long before there was a Mike Powers on the tube. Now, I am back at advocating again for a variety of reasons, not least of which: There are few people who want to work because they do not need to work, and less still who are really good at their jobs. Why? Not enough competition for the jobs done, too many people not allocated to the right jobs, and too few allocated to the real jobs. The 'everyone should go to college decree' is a directive to provide only one purpose: Create the fodder to fill the space of colleges, and then reap that financial benefit. What this nation has now succeeded in doing is to create yet another entitlement society, this one run by mostly by Liberals, who have only one true purpose - education for educators' sake.

Commented on Here is a worthwild Charity that You should considerYou are right on all counts B.T.
I don't absolve the Millennials, or their collective parents, the "mostly baby-boomer generation", for this generation's pitiable collective intellect and their collective lack of work ethic, but I do know the Education Industry quite well, and this I do know: What the Education Industry offers is, by far, the worst value for our public and private money in the history of these United States. We spend far too much money, and we receive far too little, and for the most part, what constitutes the Education Industry does care. The Education Industry has bravely forged a direction way off course from what constitutes a proper education, streamlined to best educate our People, and every American should demand accountability, and they should demand it NOW. How do you fix it? First, demand accountability from the politicians that fund this behemoth of inefficiency, and then attack the problem at its source: Break up the Education Industry's pure monopoly that is in control, primarily, to fund this leviathan of inadequacy to the pure detriment of the American student and the American taxpayer. Second, hold parents and students responsible for their ambivalence toward their familial betterment - to be smarter, better Americans. Cut off their money too.

Commented on Here is a worthwild Charity that You should considerTry hiring them.
Many believe that they are wise beyond their years, and then the reality settles in real fast in a very apparent manner. The really smart Millennials, who possess a work ethic and humility already have jobs. Then there is the class that are blinded by an obstructed vision of reality. All Millennials are not infected with this malady; however, there are many that are. You know the Education Industry has not helped much to instill robust intelligence in those that are under their spell, and, obviously, could be part of the problem. In truth, I have sympathy for this grouping of Millennials.
