Bobby Tony, I missed you man.

That's a bingo, Bobby Tony. Government is not the solution, government will never be the solution, government is the problem, and that is my strict summation of government after spending 18 years at the pinnacle of government here in Beaufort County.

Government can do far less damage if it is kept smaller, more nimble.

Thank-you Bobby Tony once again, and enjoy your walk-a-bout.

Bernie Sanders labels himself as a Socialist; Elizabeth Warren labels herself as an ultra Liberal.

I rest my case on all this self-professed moderate nonsense.

Then, you always choose the Liberal side, hence Liberal (Not that there;s anything wrong with that),

The county commission has nothing to do with your dislike of Reagan, Vietnam, or your inability to understand basic math when it comes to a property tax rate v property tax value.

It is about you electing incompetent people and then complaining when they govern accordingly.

This is the government you deserve.

You know Gene, that would work if there was no such thing as math.

I actually agree with Gene to some extent. I would be satisfied if they would just get smarter ... a lot smarter.

And now the begging or, for me, the shaming begins.

Bobby Tony: Be a man. Stay where you are needed and appreciated.

I have been known to link a post, especially within the confines of BCN.

The first concert I ever saw was The First Edition at the old Wright Memorial at ECU.

At that time, "I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in."

How is this inlet critical to the military?

Thanks Wes.

71 years ago today, the Allied troops were all over the beaches of Normandy, dug in, creating huge docks, moving huge amounts of material into Fortress Europe, taking coastal towns, and preparing to move into the infamous Hedgerows, to rid western France of Nazis, in their bloody push into Paris.

At that time my father, Robert Earle Deatherage, was finishing up his first year of NC State (they raised boys to be men back then), awaiting his 18th birthday (his mother would not sign for him at 17 to join) so he could join up, in August, 1944, to aid his nation at war.

My father would go to the Pacific Theater, help clean up the Philippines and Saipan, and then hit the beaches at Okinawa way before his 19th birthday. By the time they were preparing for the Invasion of Japan, Robert Earl was a Buck Sargent, with a platoon in his care, and not yet 19 years old.

These men were great heroes, flawed as humans as we all are, but determined to win the peace for their families, their nation that they loved as if it was a gentle mother, a kind uncle.

For me, our soldiers, our patriots, those that give back to their communities are the real heroes.

Not the false symbols in today's POP America.

When we forget D-Day, Pearl Harbor, Inchon, the repulsion of the Tet Offensive, the successful Surge in Iraq, and, ultimately, then the Democrats' surrender of Iraq, we lose our nation in pieces, and then in large chunks.

When the He/She Caitlyn Jenner is today's great hero, rather than observing the victory of Operation Overlord, as we witness now in POP America, some may make the argument that we have lost our nation ... for now at least ... until our patriots take it back.

I agree with everything Bobby Tony just said, except I am not quite as gentile in my statements on these obvious truths, and Bobby, you have nothing to apologize for.

Bobby Tony, you are a true Southern gentleman, even though Bruce/Caitlin will no longer be.

Soon I will some about this subject and much about others somewhat similar to this narcissistic expression of the weird, in my new POP America! series, and I will be far less generous than Bobby Tony.

See you again, and hopefully soon my friend.

Freaking A!

What "courage" must possess the former Olympic Decathlon gold medalist. Still, let's hear it now for the "nuts".

I generally don't do articles about Sex. I leave that to the Leftist Media, who seem to be preoccupied with the subject, which probably is not a bad idea, since most journalists today are not smart enough to address more weightier issues.

I am; however, about to start a new series titled "POP America!" where I will soon mention Bruce, excuse me, Caitlyn Jenner, but the post will not be built around him/her.

I tend to agree with you Ted. I know homosexuals; some I get along with, but some that do some egregiously stupid stuff, coupled with some rather petty behavior, which seems to compound the stupidity.

I try not to group people, or stereo type folks; however, I am well acquainted with Stupid, and the conditioned of unrecognized stupid is very dangerous on so many levels.

I will group Stupid because it is soon to become the next protected class, and I'm here to warn everyone, Stupid will be treated as such where ever I exist.

I will not tolerate Stupid, unchallenged, as the ruling class here in my Republic. Not as long as I draw breath.

'What do you know?' We have something that we agree on.

You get far more views than that over time.

Some posts continue to get near the number of views per week years later.

Our greatest example of such is: beaufortcountynow.com
