I must admit this one truth, I have a very keen eye for politicians, and my subjective opinion can be a bit demanding. I suppose I just know too much.

In the North Carolina Senate race, we elect the highest ranking politician in the state outside of the governor. Here, I just expect much more in quality than what we have here in both candidates.

While Thom Tillis is no where near the Republican's best candidate, Kay Hagan has two terrible obstacles to overcome: 1) She is egregiously liberal, and 2) she is no 'deep-thinker', not by a long stretch, and the first demand of any politician is that they have the intellectual wherewithal to do the job.

These are too critical times to send a intellectually challenged individual to Washington to do a intellectually sufficient's job.

With Thom, he is an Establishment Republican, and only grass-roots Republicans know what it means to be a real Republican.

What is a body to do?

Hagan will lose the the moderate independents because she is so terribly liberal, and Thom Thillis will lose the Conservative base because he is an Establishment Republican, and the grassroots can't get fired up on these corporate welfare types.

It will be an interesting race to see who stays home the most, or the least.

Good Comment.

It makes good sense from an aspirational perspective.

I pray that we do not have to have another Pearl Harbor or 9/11 for the so called People, or the politicians to get their heads out of the sand to know the enemy.

President Bush at least worked to protect his people.

While Iraq had its problems, he won the war, and preserved the peace with the Surge.

Good post Gene.

What "The Tale of Two Funerals", along with so many improper actions, and inactions, including yesterday's non-press conference, by America's first "Affirmative Action" president, Amateur Obama, is that he is woefully incapable of understanding his duties, as per the United States Constitution, and that he is intellectually, or emotionally incapable administering his office.

All that we now that he is self-competent of doing, or completing, is play gold and campaigning.

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.
