This is so moving. It makes me want to pay the bus fair for one of these sad characters to attend an "Occupy" protest, or a Bernie Sanders rally, it The Bern can ever mounts a comeback.

And, if any Millennials reading this need a participation trophy, I have a closet full. Back when I was a soccer coach, the parents wanted me to give the team, mostly ten year olds, the trophies even though they had only won two games all season, but I refused because the parent sponsored trophies referred to this winning deficient team as "Champions", and I somehow thought that inappropriate.

Now, I realize how wrong I was.

No, you're not the only one. While there is a good chance that the election results may be reasonably close to accurate, that is not the intent of the Liberal.

Republicans need not parrot the narrative of the Liberal as they rearrange the rules of the game in a constant manner.

A man after my own heart you are B.T.: beaufortcountynow.com

And then there is this scene; one of the greats in all of cinema history: beaufortcountynow.com

I love the part where Sam Elliot as The Stranger, leaves The Dude, and goes in one direction, and then abruptly turns and goes in the other direction, as if one of the Coen Brothers said, "Sam, this way, come over here", and then they kept that take because The Stranger character is such a farcical character anyway, which really rounds out the film.

Outstanding stuff watching the young Jerry Lee here. It was as if his voice had not dropped yet. I've this song done so many times, and he usually sings it about an octave lower, so no lip syncing in this video.

Dennis Quaid immortalized Jerry Lee with his portrayal. It was possibly a caricature, but it worked ... quite well.

"Great balls of Fire" Bobby Tony: What a post.

Jerry Lee was a rock'n'roll enigma; one of a kind.

Here we have Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee in his prime: beaufortcountynow.com

When I last ran for commissioner, and the RINOs used over 50,000.00, with the help of the Limited Voting construct, to defeat me to stop Conservatism on the board of county commissioners, my signs would not stay up. The responsible RINOs were committed to raising Beaufort County's taxes, and now, in just two years, they have succeeded. To grow government in Beaufort County, the RINOs had to get rid of me.

That was a primary in Beaufort County, where the audacity of, and quantity of RINOs are legend.

Hood is losing signs in a general election, and without evidence to the contrary, I suspect it is the RINOs again.

The RINO mantra two years ago was: "First, we get Stan, then we get Hood". It could be, probably is the RINOs.

You guys know that Hillary threw caution to the wind, once again, and openly lied about the Clinton Foundation's altruistic generosity and accountability, when the truth probably would not have sufficed ... most definitely would not have sufficed - not coming from here lying mouth.

James O'Keefe best be careful as he continues to uncover Democrat dirty, disgusting laundry.

The Clintons have had others silenced for a whole lot less.

Look how they weaved their magic with the chronically corrupt Loretta Lynch - the first "African American Woman" to head the DOJ - just an utterly corrupt "African American Woman", and of no other benefit or value to society.

At least James O'Keefe is a patriot, which is more than the Clintons, or the first "African American Woman" to head the DOJ - Loretta Lynch.

Roy Cooper is a Liberal politician; that is pretty much all he is.

He is not a particularly good lawyer; he is definitely no constitutional scholar, and as we discovered in his one debate with Governor McCrory moderated by NBC's Chuck Todd, we discovered that he is not a particularly good debater, exhibiting, after decades as a Democrat political insider here in North Carolina, he possesses an egregiously poor grasp of the issues affecting he North Carolinians that actually sustain this state.

With the devastation of Hurricane Matthew all about eastern North Carolina, Roy Cooper begs for a 1.6 billion dollar legislature surplus to fund more liberal spending programs to better help the "disadvantage", which is a Liberal's code for more money to buy Democrat votes.

When he wasn't cajoling for the public's treasure to purchase more Democrat votes, he discussed HB 2 as if he actually knew anything about the bill, or how it actually came into existence.

That pathetic politician lives in one overwhelmingly surreal world.

Remember this truth: Before the Republicans in Raleigh built up that 1.6 billion dollar "Rainy Day" fund, the Democrats had wastefully spent North Carolina into a 3 billion dollar deficit.

You're right, with the Clintons, we do get both, and now we have learned from a corrupt DOJ and FBI, the Clintons are fully above reproach in all regards.

Damn Bobby Tony, you cut to the heart of the matter once again ... effortlessly.

Liberals tend to examine the messenger for intent rather than the message for its veracity, hence, they tend to keep their arguments personal rather than fact based, because they do not understand the reality of facts, or maybe, they can not interpret the facts.

I think boils down to their collective inability to conceptualize the math of it.

On the intelligence of military personal, I have heard Liberals ardently advocate that the military, as far as training goes, serves as a catch basin for those who are not bright enough, or wealthy enough to subscribe to post high school education.

I won't even waste my time to shoot down this flawed logic, on every level of its condescending nativity, except to offer, most Liberals do not understand the nature of patriotism.

That it is why mostly Liberals, who are educated, and, or do the educating, may suffer the 10% loss of real intellect, in real terms, between them and those comparable patriots, who have the same range of original intellect.

On actors, creators of content, I ignore their personal foibles just as long ss I can stand it, and I am a fairly accepting individual, but not totally blind here.

Plus, I also hear that Trump was not only responsible for the Benghazi terrorist attack, but he actually funded that 'Despicable Video', and found a way to influence the Hussein administration to think in was their idea to employ that 'Despicable, Offensive Video' which, they believed, would be a sufficient distraction to persuade the most stupid Americans to not blame Hussein for his obligatory inaction before, during and after the attack.

You see, that was all Trump's fault too. Now he has been found out.

In reality, America is very divided, and it is not only the politician's fault, it is the fault of people who put them in office. We are a representative government.

A point of fact, regardless of what you think about Trump, Lying Hillary would have not made it through the Republican primary. The only reason that Trump made it through is that most working Americans are pretty pissed, and they will stay pissed, with or without Trump.

Oh, the polls are designed to make a point on issues. They are written by one with clarion thought.

I may have showed up. My father, who served in the Pacific Theater, and saw action at Saipan and Okinawa, said I would have ... repeatedly, which is a far cry from what Mel Gibson's father said and did - moved the who family from New York state to Austrailia. Mel is a bit over a year younger than me, but no one knew how long that crazy war was going to last.

Speaking of which, I consider "We Were Soldiers" a classic War Film. They may deride Mel Gibson for talking out of his head when he was drunk, but he makes a fine movie, and really grew into an outstanding actor. If I was Lt. Colonel Hal Moore, I would have been honored to have Mel Gibson portray me the he did the future general.

Right now, the men and women that serve don't even seem that they have anything in common with their Millennial Generation.

I will make this estimate, and estimating is something that I have a knack for, so hear me out: If you took the aggregate of any intelligent quotient range of U.S. children straight out of high school, within a 10 point range, where an arbitrary half would qualify for college, and the other half would enlist into the military, and then check on each aggregate subset 6 years later; in aggregate, regardless of how well they performed, the subset that enlisted would have an IQ range of 10 points higher than their subset counterparts in that original 10 point range that attended college. Think about it.

They may not only be our bravest, I will will wager, in a comparative sense, they are out brightest, with yet another character feature - integrity.

Outstanding post Bobby Tony; The way you presented this cathartic piece, I felt like I was there, but I could never have been there.

You know, he may not be a good vocalist, but he is a fabulous song writer.

The Folkies got all pissed when he went electric, "Blonde on Blonde" was one of the early electric albums, but Dylan had to transition.

He actually became a much better guitar player after he went electric.

"All Along the Watchtower" is among his best work, and it is no folk song.

People can talk about his voice, but he is a smart guy, a fine artist. One of my all time favorites.

The best version of "All Along the Watchtower" may be this one by Jimi Hendrix: beaufortcountynow.com

Check these chords out B.T.: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

This is the Bob Dylan Version and definitely doable.

Bobby Tony, once again, thanks for the memories.

My dear mother, may God bless her committed Southern matriarchal spirit in Your care, would often pronounce: "What do you see in Bob Dylan? His voice is awful."

And I would always be, "That may be the case to you, but, he speaks to me."

Since 1964, I have always been a Bob Dylan fan. I have many of his first collection of albums, including "Blonde on Blonde", from whence you drew "Just Like a Woman".

I loved that album that came out in 1965. When I was in Junior High, I learned his harmonica solo, at the end of that song, on my Marine Band harmonica.

Now that I can all of a sudden play the guitar, started to pick it up after my 60th birthday, I will play the song on my guitar - easy chords - C, F, G, C, Em, Dm, E7, Am. Actually, I play all of these chords plus others, mostly bar chords, just to warm my fingers up (I have to warm up) before I play any song.

Here's the link: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Why don't you work on it too?

Beautiful analogy. The point of the matter is that there are no fair fights if you are a Republican. The Democrat media is always there to work for the other guy.

Bobby Tony, that is true essence my fine man.

That is the core of the argument, debate over.

The power just came on here in eastern Beaufort County, so I missed the debate last night; however, it sounds like, from some of the soundbites I am hearing, that Trump took it to the Felon, Lying Hillary Clinton.

I hear it was a much better performance than his last miserable performance.
But, will it eclipse Trump's hot mic. moment when he misspoke terribly about his crude understanding of how one should treat "beautiful women"?

I hope so, because I, as a not so handsome "Deplorable" man, know how Lying Hillary feels about me.

I do, however, possess the one thing that L. Hillary could never claim, I am an honest man, and well proved to be so ... even though I am a "Deplorable" and an "Irredeemable".
