Charles, you said it: Atlas is shrugging right now.

I am writing a piece right now on how all Democrats, their electorate and politicians, who are actually responsible for "Altas Shrugging."

It is playing out right now, in real time, and fortunately, this time, I may have the assets to make a difference for we who are patriots.

Of course, at some point, the Democrat fascists could always just shut down the internet. But until they do ...

"Reaganite Entertainment" - never heard this before.

Do you reckon this under-known term was originated by some Liberal on a college campus or news desk somewhere in America, or abroad?

It was quite the fantastical day.

The Allman Brothers really brought it home for me.

Well said. They are much worse than Democrats. Democrats wear their Democrat skin, and you know who they are, and you deal with that. I actually get along with reasonable Democrat politicians.

The RINO lies in wait to feather their own nest, or the nest of their special interest masters.

Well said Jim. This is no time to raise rates.

It was never intended by our forefathers that those, who have elected to take no advantage of our free education system, and choose to live off of the free stuff long provided by Democrat politicians in return for their vote, to, in fact, have that right to vote.

Well written by a lawyer, friend of mine.

Is it that bad?

As a 16 year Beaufort County Commissioner, I have always opposed Limited Voting, but I make this long held assertion with the tempered understanding that there is little we can do until we find a better system that will pass Federal Justice pre-clearance.

It sounds confusing, and it is very much so, but the system of the current limited Voting can be changed, but only if there is the will of a majority of county commissioners simultaneous with the will of the U.S. Justice Department. This is the God's truth.

I, for one, will not opt for a poorer system just for the sake of change, and to oblige others of a much lesser knowledge of this complicated conundrum.

Hood Richardson will not either.

I was at the Candidate's Forum, and no candidate had any rudimentary knowledge of what a proper election system would entail, save Hood, and to a lesser extent Gerry Langley. Dondi Dixon, if elected, would be a quick study in such.

I know all of this because I have been at the nexus of this ongoing argument as committee chairman to evaluate the current system, and to plan the prospect of another. Incidentally, Steve Rader and I drew what alternative maps that have been drawn suggesting alternative systems, and they are stored at the Beaufort County Board of Elections, complete the then current social dichotomy of the Beaufort County electorate.

Yes, and I do wince and cringe when I hear prospective county commissioners speak on any subject when they have not taken the time to gain any understanding such. In particular on Limited Voting, I was kind'a embarrassed for them.

Candidates often say the darndest things in their quest for elected office. Candidate Gary Brinn may have set a new low in his misunderstanding of this one issue.

Well Jeff, tell us how you really feel next time.

I hope you are not right.

I generally like Huckabee, although, I did not support him in the last presidential primary, which was tough for me because I almost felt to follow Chuck Norris, because ... he is Chuck Norris.

Rest in peace "Tiger." Those were good days back in the mid 1970's.

Michael, you got your answer; I just did not understand your series of rants as anything cogent. Try stating the alleged lies more like this:

Candidate Obama stated that he would have the most transparent government in history, free of special interest, yet when he came to office, he brought a cadre of lobbyists as key staff, and turned the record stimulus package into a slush fund for Democrats - most notable was Solyndra that was in the process of going bankrupt as Obama lavished these Democrats with a half of a billion of the public's dollars, now the public's debt.

Try being more succinct and much more substantive like this one truth, I expressed, as one of the multitudes of Obama Lies.

Yeah, the whole lie thing is the ultimate lie. I watched our Liar-in-Chief work that angle hard since he had his ass intellectually kicked Wednesday night.

The polls are turning and this is never good for the incumbent this close to the election.

Yes it was a thing of beauty to see Governor Romney able to answer questions, and not have them manipulated by the obvious "media stooges," who are still influential, but not with us who know the real world and the wiser path forward.

Considering the time limits, it might have been wise for "the Candidate" to keep his exposure as low as possible, by not fighting for the broadcast air, since his intellect, at least this night, seemed a bit flaccid.

This may be one of the great lessons of our time.

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, was a Conservative and a very able prime minister, who did not wish to go to war. No wise leader wants to invite war on their people, or on their conscience.

So Neville Chamberlain seized on the first opportunity to delay war for Great Britain, if not for eastern Europe at the Munich Accords.

Candidate Obama has a similar back ground in that wishes not to go to war. He is no Conservative, he is a Liberal, but rather than not delving into war because of humanitarian reasons, he does not consider war because of his core constituency and his roots growing up, at least in part, Muslim.

There is one thing that he did do before he diminished our presence in the Middle East, as he has surely done. Candidate Obama used the infrastructure built, in the Middle East, by the George W. Bush Administration to give the order for Seal Team 6 to kill Osama Bin Laden. After the demise of America's #1 target, Candidate Obama left the informant doctor to rot in a prison in Pakistan, and then "spiked the Football" that he killed Osama Bin Laden, went on a "I killed Osama" tour to taunt this as his sole Middle East foreign policy initiative and accomplishment, and then distilled this event information into terms that even Liberals could understand, so he wouldn't have to run on his miserable economic record - a record of just giving stuff away to likely voters.

Now that the Middle East is blowing up, he is proving powerless to effect anything positive; however, the Candidate still stands a good chance of getting re-elected because he gives away a lot of free stuff to likely voters, that others pay for, or face imprisonment for tax evasion.

Maybe this Frenchman said it best:

"A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it" - Alexis de Tocqueville, 19th century

Did I leave anything out here?

Great Teddy Kennedy analogy Brant.

It really brings back distant memories colored in shades of complete truth.

I remember well.
