I suppose you did not complain; it looks like Raquel Welch about to have a wardrobe malfunction.

Commented on Have We Become 'A Swing and a Miss' Nation?Good Republicans love stopping stupid policy almost as well as we like passing wise policy.
All personality driven "Hate" speech aside, it is the way the game is played.

Commented on Have We Become 'A Swing and a Miss' Nation?If you want me to lay off Hillary, or Barack Hussein, investigate them (you Liberals) as you would a Republican, or start running honest, principled men and women for office where it effects me.
That is all I ask.

Commented on Have We Become 'A Swing and a Miss' Nation?I use the word "Liberal" merely as a descriptor where it fits best, like I would use the word Conservative or Libertarian.
I almost never use the word "Hate". That would be your department.

Commented on Political positioning TestWell Bobby Tony, I reckon your score should pretty close to mine.
I'd like to think that this is what you vets did all that fighting for; regardless, I will always give you the credit for it. In my eighteen years as a county commissioner, I never voted for a politician, or anyone else for that matter, other than a Veteran to have a bridge, or road or building named after them. My policy has always been: "Find me an honorable vet, preferably one that died in service of his country, and then I'll vote on the naming of the public property, which meant I usually voted no, because politicians lover honoring other politicians. I reckon, I have pissed off a bunch of insiders in my time. That will probably continue.

Commented on Political positioning TestI took your test.
I haven't changed that much from whence I was a commissioner, maybe a little more Libertarian. Actually, I scored for the rights of the individual: 70% on Social, 100% on Economic. I still consider my self a Conservative, but defined it better here: beaufortcountynow.com

Thanks Tony.
I hate Apps. Responsive templates takes care of all that, plus you still get to see and use almost all of the site on every sized screen. We build the Responsive features into the sites' templates when we build them. Of course, BCN was already rolling when all this Responsive technology became available, so when we made BCN Responsive, it took quite some time due to the massive size of the site. It is the biggest site, in sheer usable size, in northeastern North Carolina.

The cool thing is that posts usually continue to get views forever, and, on occasion, they receive a greater propensity of the traffic.
Wyatt has one, top on this site, that has about 31,000 views, and getting about 150 new views every week. Of course, his post is on the first or second page of Google Search results, on a number of key terms, for his subject post

Commented on Muslim / Christian GenocidePacifism did not work before World War II, and it will not work now.
Apologies for America, while Christians perish, and Liberals find a moral equivalency to explain why the best of America still cares about a world that we helped keep relatively safe for a while. A safer world equates to a safer America. Actually, it is a very Christian concept.

Commented on Muslim / Christian GenocideYou see Gene, I can follow Bobby Tony here as he gets all esoteric about Alice and her stoned friends and acquaintances, but I'm having a hard time following your logic.
A bad cop, or a mistaken cop injuring someone in their care, or when arresting them is just not the same as marching 30 'dark skinned' Christians down by the Mediterranean Sea, and then carving their heads off while the camera records the depravity. You see, I actually care about these 'dark skinned' Christians. Why do not liberals?

Commented on Muslim / Christian GenocideYou see, the way this all works is if you can't recognize genocide, which is the purposeful extermination of a people; because of one's: race, or faith, or ideology, or for what ever reason, you will not know it when it occurs again, as you are having trouble now reconciling it for its expressed purpose right now - the genocide of Christians.
That is how 6 million Jews were exterminated, and about another 4 million: Pols, Gypsies, intellectuals, homosexuals, political adversaries, etc. were slaughtered just a tad more than 70 years ago by one nation under the wrong flag - an evil flag. This has nothing to do with Conservatives, or John Kennedy, or Timothy McVeigh, or bad cops, or Ronald Reagan or George Bush or Dick Cheney. This is about unrecognized genocide by Islamists and Liberals; what an unholy alliance, because this all has very much to do with Barack Hussein - the 'President with dark skin' that you are infatuated with. It is his charge to deal with this, and he has not. But one thing is for sure, his constituents sure get their food stamps on a card and their subsidized health care, their housing, etc, etc.

Commented on Muslim / Christian GenocideThe issue is no longer the Liberal's intrinsic need to form some moral equivalency, as Gene rushes to defend liberal positions (not that there's anything wrong with that), but to understand that there is a logic to living and a logic to dying.
Since the Age of Enlightenment, Christians have learned to live more by Christ's example, his teachings, rather than forging Christ's Kingdom by brute force. Now that we are far beyond those early days of the eighteenth century, wars are not fought for religion, excepting the radicalized Muslims, who, obviously, have missed the whole Age of Enlightenment thing. This is what trips up Liberals, who generally don't do history unless it has been liberalized so they can understand it. They do the moral equivalency commentary because they can conceptualize the 'Howard Zinn talking points' to a point that they can speak it, and then defend it for about 1/2 of a round to some, maybe a few, but are completely unable to take it too far beyond that because of their 'talking points' level of knowledge. Remarkably, many Liberals are well educated, but instead of learning real information, logic, and the ability to reason, many were indoctrinated by half-ass professors with more of an agenda than any true working knowledge of this real world. They graduate, feel good about themselves, get jobs and then are lost. That's about the truth of it.

Commented on Muslim / Christian GenocideThe good Muslims, and I know that there are multitudes, have a huge battle ahead whether they know it or not. They will be called upon to choose, and they will need to choose wisely.

Commented on Muslim / Christian GenocideWhat I write is true. The truth only knows one side, and that is just the truth of it.
I actually don't believe that there is a moral equivalency for everything. That is a Liberal fantasy, and I don't ascribe to those fantasies as everyone knows.

Commented on More Terror in Obama's AmericaI would vote "stupid" No. 1 for obvious reasons, and then Liberal; "Not that there's anything wrong with that".
On this post: Liberal -2, Stupid -0. This post was about public safety and terrorism, and these are issues that Liberals are dismissive of, so the "L" had to be mentioned.

Commented on More Terror in Obama's AmericaI get it: "Blame America First".
Actually, it was Timothy McVeigh and about 20 years ago, and I like White cops or Black cops, even though some will make mistakes, but for the most part, they keep us safe. So, what you are saying is that purposeful Christian genocide, at the hands of Muslims, around the world in the tens of thousands in just the last two years, is the moral equivalency of Timothy McVeigh 20 years ago, and a few bad, or mistaken cops here in America now. Should we blame Ronald Reagan as well as America, or just our public safety officers?

We welcome all Liberals.
I am a Conservative, and I have been one for a long time, long enough to have complete clarion thought, so I make apologies for myself. The other Conservatives here on BCN can, and do, well speak for themselves. Those in the Squishy Middle generally are not of clarion thought, but they appeal to folks that, also, are not of clarion thought, so we welcome them too. And readership is continuing up, in fact, we have more than doubled in the last 4 months. We welcome everyone, even, and especially, those who do not care about politics, who may come for the pictures, reviews, the Movie/TV Databases, and very soon business sourced information. Actually, I am pushing in every direction away from politics, knowing well, we will always do that sector extremely well, and we will have plenty of political readers contunually.

It's funny you should mention that.
I think of what Alexis said many times now, and especially when governing. Even more one must know that the People pick those that best represent them, so they will get the government they deserve, or ... we install citizenry hurdles to restrict voting which would mean amending the Constitution - significant enough hurdles to take in consideration de Tocqueville's main tenet of "Democracy in America". It may be the only way to save the Republic.

This post was more about a functioning Republic, which most Americans are oblivious to. Really good politicians of weary of other politicians that are not intellectually acute, because eventually they may prove to be dishonest.
Sadly, these politicians often well represent those that elect them, which speaks constantly of the interminable need to educate, rather than indoctrinate, the public. Liberals more believe in indoctrination, which keeps the public more stupid. The more stupid people voting Democrat, the quicker we lost this Republic. That is the way of it.

Poverty of mind, poverty of spirit, poverty of intelligence in their elected officials, Baltimore has it all.
Maryland is a divided state between regular folks and the profoundly stupid, and for quite a while, the stupid have been winning. Good one Ted on the redistribution of poverty angle. Maryland has the corner on it. Believe it or not< once Maryland was considered a Southern state. There are many residents on the eastern shore and in their small spit of mountains wish they could be southerners. They detest their stupid elected leaders. Maryland is a great example of when the electorate gets stupid, they elect the stupid.
