Gene,

The question has been decided by the Liberals.

You will get your new jail in the southwest corner of the county, if you can stop the me and my constituents, and I only have a few more months to make any difference.

I still can't fathom this whole: We need a new, safe jail, but you, commissioners, need to lower our taxes thing.

That is not how math works.

If you have friends that actually understand this logic, you might need to pick some smarter friends.

Gene,

At some point you may qualify for the Homestead exemption. Talk to the assessor to see if you qualify.

It is what it.

You mentioned it yourself in the preceding comment. I just explained the truth of it.

Gene,

At that very same meeting, you asked that the commissioners lower the property taxes by '30% across the board', so: How do you propose that the county's people pay for the Southwest County jail, and the 800,000.00 per year to transport the prisoners from the Industrialized Incarceration Complex on 30% less revenue?

You've heard the expression, 'It ain't over till the fat lady sings.'

Well ... last night that is exactly when it all began.

This commissioner meeting was weird, it was wrong, and the 'fat lady did sing'. Just check the opening comments of the video of last night's county commissioner meeting.

And I agree with most of that; however, I hope you agree that prayer to the one true God should not be restricted from any event that is partially paid for by our tax dollars.

Even Muslims should not have a problem with this, for Allah is supposed to be another moniker for Yaweh, but even if they did ... tough beans.

For me the Atheist have no say in such, nor those that hate the Christian faith.

It is time to stand up for Christ, and especially his followers, as now they are being so roundly persecuted by belligerents and haters of the free exercise of freedom of religion.

This is what our Forefathers had in mind in the first Amendment: To forbid in America what is now happening in Iraq to Christians, and kind, good Muslims, who love the one true God - not the evil one fabricated by the Islamists, the Jihadists.

My opinion was offered as a principled man ... never mentioned the word conservative; however, true Conservatives are the most principled politicians I have ever met, or served with, and we are few.

I do appreciate the implication, obviously due to my more clear understanding of Fiduciary over your Attorney General's understanding of it.

Not to pick bones, but there is no language about 'the separation of Church and State' in the U.S. Constitution. That I am remarkably clear on.

The North Carolina Constitution states: Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State. This section does not prohibit a private party from entering into contracts with another private party; nor does this section prohibit courts from adjudicating the rights of private parties pursuant to such contracts. (2011-409, s. 1)

However, in the NC Constitution, they is very little stipulation as to the duties of the attorney general.

There is much stipulation as to the duties of the general assembly, and the governor. The governor is charged with enforcing the laws, and the general assembly not only makes the laws, but has the authority to Impeach elected officials.

One thing I do well know about fiduciary relationships is, and attorney's are bound by this, is that if one can not represent those that pay them to perform their duties, it is an imperative that they should resign that job.

Roy Cooper is the attorney general for the people of North Carolina, not just Liberals, who like to make up relative truths as they happen upon life's situations.

The Defense of Marriage Amendment is the law in North Carolina, whether Liberals, like Roy Cooper, likes it or not. His liberal understanding of North Carolina law as a relative truth does not apply here, as he is hired to administer the North Carolina Constitution and its laws.

For those of us with clarion thought Roy Cooper has but one choice: Resign his office. If Roy Cooper will not resign his office, he should be impeached for not executing his duties to recognize and enforce the NC Constitution - not the parts he appreciates, but all of it.

This is the way I understand things as someone who has practiced Fiduciary relationships for quite some time.

Again this has nothing to do with the man's color. As you know, the color of a man's skin is one of the three major tenants of the today's Democrat party.

It is solely about the man's lawlessness, dishonesty, intelligence and complete incompetence.

The color of the man's skin has nothing to do with it, in fact, history will prove that the color of his skin is what got him elected.

Only hard-core Liberals believe that the man is honest, or competent, or even smart.

He was simply not ready to be president, and those are is the kindest words I can offer.

Gene, you seem to forget that The Candidate had 2 years where he had an overwhelming majority in both houses of congress, and now Harry Reid's Senate, where all legislation goes to die.

Democrats whine about congress, but with a Harry Reid, mindlessly running a legislative body, which was once revered, not much will get done.

Harry Reid needs to go 'back to his pomegranate trees', and leave the senate to those that can actually form cognitive thoughts as patriots, not as venomous old hags.

Have you ever asked yourself: How could Kay Hagan ever vote for such a mimbo to be Senate Majority Leader?

Dave Smith was my first real coach in football, basketball and even track and field.

Before Dave Smith went to WHS to lead the Pam pack to two State Championships, he was the head coach of all sports at P.S. Jones Junior High in 1968, nd for some years later.

It was the first year of full integration, and my first year at the former P.S. Jones all Black segregated high school. He was an accomplished coach there. In that first year of full integration of White and Black children, Coach Smith was my coach in football and basketball at the new junior high, and even then, as a 14 year old adolescent, I well understood that this was a man I should respect.

Coach Smith was always fair, and as a coach well recognized talent and coached that talent to the best of their respective abilities.

Even though I'm sure I was immature at that point in my life: Coach helped me to learn that teams work together, and remaining tough in the fog of athletic battle was as important as scoring the winning touchdown, or making the winning basket. Maybe because Coach Smith so well communicated what was expected of me, he allowed me to remain on the field, on the court, and in my sprint lane on a very regular basis, and I knew what was expected of me - total commitment.

Decades after I played for this local legend as a coach, and after all his success as one of the greatest North Carolina basketball coaches in the twentieth century, Coach would always take the time to talk with me when we saw each other in public.

I could tell that he was proud to know me as an adult, but what he was proud to know was a little piece of himself ... maybe a large piece of himself, because the man made a difference in my life, and as I grow aged and know real stuff, I well know that the man made a difference in my life.

I just wonder how many others he affected so much: like my experience, or their own, but in a profound and meaning-full way.

I have to wonder: How many other adults, that he influenced as they grew into maturation, was he proud to know as an adult.

My guess ... many.

Everyone one has a right to their opinion ... and then again, there is the Kool-aide.

There is no hate here, in fact hate is a bad word to throw around; however, the truth of the matter is that we have a lawless president, who would have been already impeached if he was a Republican.

Thanks Gene for your incite-full words of the probability of rising taxes.

I wonder was this stop, in Wisconsin, the 56th or '57th state they had visited, or the one they had no gotten to yet'.

When Gerge W. Bush would flub his lines, the Mainstream Media had great fun poking fun at the Republican. Not so much with this Democrat - hands off, hands off everything - Apology Tour, Fast and Furious, Solyndra, Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting of political enemies and cover-up, losing the Iraq war, Bergdahl deal, Eric Holder lying to congress, etc., spying on Fox reporter James Rosen, etc., etc.

Mr. Obama has not gotten his due yet ... but it is coming, and will be coming in a big way.

We have many nonpolitical topics, and will accept all well conveyed posts of such that we can get. In fact we will accept all posts that are well presented about any topic, with some limitations of course.

Our nonpolitical topics do rather well in traffic terms. In fact our most popular post, of all time, is of a nonpolitical nature: beaufortcountynow.com
