So Gene, all of your professions of my Chauvinism aside: Do you agree that there should be no more public funding of 'a woman's very private business'?

This is Diane's inner biologist taking over, and I will always defer to that on most issues.

There is also the: "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee" - Jeremiah 1:5 (King James) - directive of thought.

That is the system doing this.

"R-E-S-P-E-C-T" is a recent post by Tom Campbell, who does a statewide TV show.

If you are meaning that Liberals respect the sanctity of life; they'll have none of that.

Liberals are like Libertarians, just a little, as they want government out of their personal lives, their personal decisions; however, they do like government to: feed them, house them, clothe them, offer them continuous free education, pay for their art, their healthcare, and most of all, the destruction of human life.

I know I left much out, but this is a good beginning.

Thanks, because I have never really considered "Separation of Church and State" an important issue.

Just ran a Search on BCN, and not my name once in thousands of posts by me on that subject.

Whoooooooh ... the Liberals' challenge.

Publisher to the Public: Bobby Tony laid this post out all by himself, and to my rather strict specifications.

Bravo, simply bravo.

Plus, the post represents so well my memories of the South in the sixties, a period of upheaval and the formation of a path toward regional healing.

Bravo, simply bravo, Bobby Tony.

Gene, the Federal government should do what it is tasked to do, and not what it was not constitutionally tasked to do. It is that simple.

Reagan: Excess War Spending = winning the Cold War and transforming the military away from the demoralized one that crashed and burned in the desert under Carter to the most powerful military in the World.

And then you are back to the 'Hate' Speech.

Liberals may know your 'Hate Speech' as code for many things, but Liberals, like yourself, also know other things - how to lose wars and surrender, and thoroughly demoralize a military here in modern times - first with Johnson, then Carer, then Clinton, and now Barack Hussein.

You don't believe me? Then you don't know the military.

Figures lie and liars figure:

Noting could be more true when one examines the unemployment rate v. the labor participation rate and real job creation.

Today's labor participation rate of 63.6 % is essentially the same as when Obama hit his lows in unemployment at the height of the Great Recession at 63.3%, ergo little job creation from then to now.

Factor in the fact that, due to ObamaCare, you have far fewer full time jobs created in aggregate, many full time jobs lost, and mostly part time jobs created now taking the place of full time jobs; and on should fathom that there is little job creation. Actually, one could make the argument that jobs have been lost, once again, in aggregate under Barack Hussein.

To put a truer focus on the job creation v. unemployment rate conundrum: At this identical point in the respective Obama/Reagan's presidential terms, the economy during Obama's presidency has created about 800,000 jobs (mostly part time jobs), and the economy during Reagan's presidency did create about 6,000,000 jobs (mostly full time jobs).

Factor in the fact that America's population is about 10% higher now, and that the increase in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is more than double for Reagan, and we get a truer picture that times are far better then than now.

These are the real facts folks, and don't let any math-challenged Liberal tell you any different.

Hey, I really get this stuff. Maybe, I should write a business column here in BCN.

What we have here is the second minimalist of BCN.

Once, and fortunately, I did get my foot caught in the rail like Buddy in Fried Green Tomatoes. Every time I see that scene, I get really anxious.

The truth of it is that these trains, when I was a child, ran about 30 miles per hour over those trestle tracks, and long before those freight trains hit the tracks, they blew a long whistle, and that was one's cue to GET.

Commented: Monday, July 27th, 2015 @ 9:55 pm By: Stan Deatherage

Those rails are wheel rails and they support some big trains still, just not very often. In the next Across North Carolina, I will display an image of this trestle enduring the full brunt of the weight of a freight train.

Hey Ted,

Don't forget Wyatt.

Jesse and Jimma were true individuals. People were more individualistic in ideals back in those days.

ObamaCare would have never gotten more than 35% vote back then.

Thank-you for all your words - inspirational and kind.

I shall continue with my:

Children's Hour - Poem I

I sit upon these rails of child's wonder,
Legs dangling, tar stained and thin, in the Summer's blaze;
And gazed upon the swirling Crabs, blue and crazed,
Enjoying a temporary meal that I, so kind, provide;
Of Fish heads dangling at a cording end,
Pincers grappling as the meat provides
Sustenance held, but for a while,
Bastion pail beckons a prison strong,
And hot popping pot embroils a last reward.

I buy that.

Not only what I hear, but, especially, what I see inspires me to communicate whether anyone cares for me to, or no.

I respect that about Elvis. His opinions are none of our business.
