I'm not here to defend George W. Bush. President Bush made too many mistakes, which I chronicled here in BCN; however, he did work as a president, not play.

Where the whole: Who took the most vacations(?) argument is so disingenuous is that Bush, the younger, predominately took his "vacations" in Plains, Texas - his home.

The better question between the two presidents should be: Who played the most golf, where the government literally takes over most golf course (How much does that cost); and who played politics the most - campaigning rather than working?

I think that would better serve to project a more accurate picture between the two men.

The Hell of it is that when the Amateur President is finished vacationing on the people's, and there is a real president back in the White House - a Republican president - I predict that we will get hit again by terrorist, just like last time when Clinton did not kill bin Laden when he had the chance.

That was an error in Clinton's judgement, just like lying (in a very big way) in a deposit, and having multiple affairs on the public's dime.

Amateur Obama's error in judgement has been about everything. Because of his utter indecision, it took him over 100 days to pull the trigger to kill bin Laden once they knew where he lived.

The next terrorist attack will be Candidate Obama's fault, and it will come sooner than many American's think.

Karma is a cruel bitch.

I'm fine with them, as long as they stay out of politics; they've done too much damage, left too long of a (well) recorded trail. They are not fit to serve as politicians, without me giving them the well-honed reverb loop that lays in abeyance, ready.

For the sad politicians that hire them, I will leave them alone until they do something stupid, and then they will be part of the hunt, the partial prey

Bullies come from many stripes. What I have found, after extensive experience of existing around bullies for decades, is that they are often mislabeled as the 'it' people, those that seek to control their environment. They crave authority when they are the least deserving to administer it.

I have never been a bully because I never try to control my environment; I endeavor to let others strive to their strengths, and I nudge them a bit in a positive direction.

Often it works, sometimes not so much; however, I do have fairly creative children, and what we do at SNI, I would stack up against any small tech firm in eastern NC, or any small assemblage of artists/craftsmen in this region, for that matter, in terms of creating something that others can use, where we can all create excellent communication of ideas with so many others.

That is the essence of good art - communicating well, and allowing many others to do the same to the benefit of those who thirst for real knowledge.

No bullying here; never have, never will. Just the exchange of ideas on the most complete, most competent platform in eastern North Carolina.

That would make a good story.

Whenever, i can find a post that could use some of my pics., I am happy to supply them, often with our fancy-box gallery.

What this post is suggesting is that Republicans have their foibles as well. Real Conservatives do not believe in corporate welfare.

When one serves with Liberals and RINOs, which Beaufort County is regarded very near the top per capita from across the state, one tends to know intrinsic things like I previously mentioned.

Things happen for a reason, therefore government is important for there will always be an effect from every causation. I've recognized the cause, which I succinctly explained earlier; the nation and this county will now feel the effect.

My impression from years of observation:

Liberals: feel rather than think; they accept pre-planned thinking constructs readily, they tend to look at the world outside of any historical context; and at no point do they do any math. One more point: They believe the constitution to be a flexible document that can be used as a tool by activist judges, i.e. Roe v. Wade.

Conservatives (real): Tend to be guided by principled motives, can do math very well, and believe that the constitution is a guide for all current and future governing. One other pertinent fact: Getting Conservatives on the same page on any issue, that is not based in pure Conservative principles, is 'like herding cats'.

Simply, it is the law, and some us still believe that we 'are a nation of laws'.

As you and I have discussed, and both agree, the Holy Spirit is slowly dying in our nation, and at quickened pace throughout the world.

I have also told you that BCN, as maybe the first 'Moderated Informational Platform', intends to be that platform to all well intended contributors, such as yourself, who wish to spread their discussion as far as they can, and as long as they as they are able. The word of our Lord is a fine word to spread, and I pray it will become a big part of our County NOWs.

BCN is Social, and can do much of what Facebook does, except we do not have their magnificent readership base; however ...

What we do that they can't, or won't do, and what we can do is: we are geocentric; we are moderated - no bragging about babies and pets on a daily basis; we can associate and delineate by categories and rather quickly by process; and we never take your post down, which Facebook does eventually. We, and your words, hope to exist for perpetuity ... to contribute a difference for our God's World, as long as it exists, as per His wishes.

BCN will endeavor to do what no one else does, no online newspapers, e-magazines, twitter or Facebook.

We have developed the technology and we intend to use it for the betterment of all.

Remarkably, Charles, I am discovering that this mattered to some of the folks who don't pay attention, or maybe just aren't competent at cogent thought, but there was a narrative afoot that Commissioner Conduct was the fault of the Democrats and the RINOs not being being able to make the proper choices at voting time.

That is why the Dority, Ashley Woolard, and what is that other stooge's name(?) did the hit pieces on me that they did. They were going after the stupid vote, and there must have been a lot of it.

I have a 'chicken or the egg question': Which came first, the stupid vote, or the the three stooges of Beaufort County politics: Greg Dority, Ashley Woolard, or the other stooge nurturing the stupid vote to the point of a cataclysm of babbling "Idiocracy": www.youtube.com

John, you are right.

Guns, especially rifles, are an American symbol of liberty. We have won so many wars because of our soldiers ability to aim small and shoot straight.

They learned this skill as young men and women, owning their own firearms, and knowing that the firearm is just another tool. A tool well intertwined in the history of this once great nation.

In this fourth from the last meeting before I permanently step down as a county commissioner, a lesson was taught to me: Since I will not be afforded a "personal point of privilege", by King Chairman Langley, to refute slander against my good name, I will ask to be included in the Comment period, and, furthermore, to be allowed the last position to refute any lies against my character during that period heretofore.

In this August 4th general meeting, in this night's Comment section, I was untruthfully accused of doing, and saying things that were untrue, and since our meetings are recorded, I have evidence that this was a false accusation.

The false accusations were proffered by Kathy Vasquez, which is becoming a standard operating practice for her.

Her untruthful comments began against me, and then she moved on to discussing Commissioner Hood Richardson's peccadilloes of her choosing. When asked about that, Hood told me that nothing she said was true against him as well.

It was if she was more concerned about racking up "brownie" points with folks that tend to appreciate false commentary, rather than making a pertinent point of any significance. As someone who always tells the truth, especially to make an important point, I found her commentary patently dishonest, and her behavior abjectly dishonorable.

Since I was not afforded a "personal point of privilege", by King Chairman Langley, to refute the dishonesty of her comments, I will request that I be afforded the same comment privilege, at the conclusion of each comment period, to specifically refute the dishonesty of others made against my true and honest character.

In my first Comment, at the September meeting, I will advise the commissioners and the public of my firm intent.

Gene,

I get it. I got it. I've actually had it quite well for some time.

And very soon, I will be gone ... for good as a county commissioner.

Charles,

Thanks man. It was because of guys like you and Velma that I did this.

And once again, as if you did not know this already: Thanks for all you did fronting the party, and thank-you for all that you did to help me, and, therefore, my constituents all these years.

You remember when the Washington Daily News wrote that hit-piece on me, on the issue of constituency, when the WDN was front-running to help give away our county hospital to UHS, now Vidant.

I felt that I was in another world that I so well understood constituency, and the WDN did not, which translated to so many of their readers being, once again, so terribly misinformed. The WDN really has a hard time thinking their way out of a 'wet paper bag', and sadly, so do most of their ardent readers, who certainly won't read what I am writing now.

I won't miss that level of stupidity directed at me as a commissioner. I can promise you that.

As a businessman and being part of the creation team here here at SNI, I don't have to do business with people that despise me because I am a Conservative, or just that I don't hate Hood. I can always just work with their competition, and give them the superior product, and for less money since our products are so far superior to our local, and regional competition.

This will be fun, and this game is just nigh of beginning.

I'm sure someone knows what chemicals are used, if any.

It is not as if that all this fracturing of shale to unlock the oil is done in secrecy.

I have an idea: Maybe some environmental zealot, who is a chemist, should pose as a worker, of some station, and discover what needs to be known to thoroughly debunk the fracturing of shale. Then it can all be published in the liberal media (there is more than enough of that entity to go around), and then the EPA bureaucrats, can misinterpret the law, and shut it all down. Kind of like what they are doing now to the clean coal industry.

I'm here to help ... even the Liberals

Well, I like DINOs, and actually DINOs are a remnant of the old Democrat party before it got hijacked by the victim class.

DINO's kept me in office for 18 years, so I am a bit partial here.

You know I don't mind Liberals, when they are not so damned mean-spirited, and some are the worst this nation has ever known.

Mostly, my truck is with the RINOs, always has been. As you know, I despise a liar, and a fake, and RINOs are the worst.

On your mention of the "over-used flame title", for me it is a quicker way to better describe a self-anointed class. I like good descriptive words, because time is fleeting.

RINO - Republican in Name Only.

The Liberals in Beaufort County have done all their damage, over these many years, only with the help of the RINO. Actually RINOs are liberals, and we have had more than our share of them.

Why do you think that I cannot make it out of a Republican primary, and I don't care how little effort I put in it? How can a Republican party not nominate someone that has won 5 straight general elections, twice by standing record totals? I don't get in by the skin of my teeth, I win well.

You'd be surprised how many Democrats vote for me because they know that I am honest, and I stand against crony capitalism, government favoritism.

Beaufort County is well known among real Republicans, from across the state, as a haven for RINOs, and we have well more than our share.

No, there will always be liberal Democrats. The real problem in this county are the RINOs. Every real Republican knows this. If they don't, they are either drinking the Kool-aide of stupid, or they are not real Republicans.

It is really a simple proposition here, and I will be well out of it very soon.

Becuase of the RINOs, and too many non RINOs that won't stand up, and work for real Republicans, the Beaufort County Republican party is an abysmal failure, and has been for many years.

One guy - Charles Hickman - was by far the best chairman we have ever had, and he had to fill in for the RINO stooge Greg Dority, when he quit as we headed into election season.
