Thank-you Country Girl. I am blessed to have been led unto the light as a child just as I assume you were as well.

Sometimes, I believe Jesus would rather usher us into a frame of mind to see the World through the clear eyes of a child.

Well Big Bob, get use to it. The government will always be involved in all situations when living things die, especially the ones that bleed.

Oh, and as a man of conviction first, I will never learn the 2022 lesson you speak of.

Either Jamie the Pirate is completely dishonest or an ignoble fool, and he has always been that small of a way.

Thank-you for speaking to what you know to be true Country Girl.

Many decades ago, and long before I had any idea that I would ever be called upon to serve, I was once a liberal Democrat that had just transitioned into a moderate Democrat, without really knowing what it meant to be a Democrat at all; however, I was 26 years old and waking up, about to become a father for the first time.

It was at that time my cavalier attitude toward abortion changed forever. Without belaboring the point, something dramatic happened in my life that made me firmly consider what constituted the beginning of life, and what a very important path fatherhood is for our species.

What happened next within my young, clearing mind is my spiritual address of the subject replacing my new scientific understanding of the the Beginning of Life, and what I discovered was: How can Abortion on Demand be a noble necessity for ardent liberal Democrats, when there is a true life in the balance?

It was not long after that awakening of mind and purpose that I realized that I would have trouble voting for any candidate, for any elected office, that did not approach the precious life of the unborn in as serious manner as myself.

By the time I was 32 years I had stopped (as I was then a conservative Democrat) voting for any Democrat whatsoever except Mitchell Norton, Beaufort County's DA. Mitchell was my front door neighbor, and I liked and respected him, also ... He too was a conservative Democrat.

It was not until 1991 that I became a Republican, but when I did become one, I was a passionate about true Conservativism in the wake of what Ronald Reagan had wrought. I still feel blessed that this nation had such a wonderful president, and I pray that our next president will be just as transformational ... or within reason close to that good man, by far and away the greatest, most significant president of my lifetime.

Maybe then our nation will transition to a more thoughtful position, more spiritually considerate of what is real, and cease serving at the alter of evil idols, one of which - Abortion on Demand.

Well, I can only add that Barack Hussein Obama was always a ... "man's man," way ahead of his time.

With this new revelation of his sexual diversity, the Democratic Socialists should now be doing backflips in these days and times (if he had now already served two terms) to run such a "forward thinking guy's guy". Hilary Clinton, nor any Democratic Socialist aspirant would ever have a chance in any primary against this pan sexual wunderkind.

Yes ... unless they have committed high treason, then they can be prosecuted.

This was intended to be a little bit of a satirical piece, but I am speaking true about my musical choices as the beginning of a whole raft of tunes that really speak to me.

For decades, I have groused about the limited selection of good musicians; however, I would find a few erupting through the bluster and noise of so much crap, like Alison Krauss and her badass boys, Dave Matthews, Jewell and a few others, but NOW, here recently, I am finding some smaller known musicians that have true talent in song construction, musicianship, and well integrating their finely tined spirits into their melodies. Remarkably, much of the music has a Traditional Country /Bluegrass base, which is just fine with me, as I have been a Bluegrass fan since 1975; as it did save me from the banality of Disco, and silly Hair Bands, Punk, and the rest of bleak melodic offerings.

These talented young music makers is an encouragement when all seems so bleak, as many of us are greatly concerned whether those younger generations will ever be able to 'keep this Republic.'

Grace Brown: "Commissioner Deatherage" never said or wrote "Censorship begins after one post." So for truth's sake, the veracity of your comment is entirely lacking.

This publication, Eastern NC NOW, is Beaufort County top journalistic entity, and holding that position with great pride, we allow all comments and decently written posts providing that the truth of any issue never becomes the first victim. If you wish to offer a retort to my true words, have at it.

I am certainly not a Leftist, so as publisher, I make honest decisions every day, and I know dishonestly often when it presents itself, and act as I see fit. Wanton dishonesty never furthers any salient point.

Witness the corrupt Leftist Executive, and much of its bureaucracy, the insipidly Corrupt Corporate Media, all of which will be the commanding history of these dishonest days.

Eastern NC NOW is an honest oasis to this hurricane of lies and liars, and will remain that way as long as I, and soon we, draw breath

I disagree Big Bob: Ignorant politicians create ignorant bureaucrats, and both do significant damage, all the while patting themselves and each other on the back as to how important they are ... and it is not just the Democratic Socialists that raise my ire, it is, moreover, the RINO class of Republicans (Beaufort County has more than its share) that I have not, and will not tolerate.

My disdain for the RINO is truly well established since it is their patent dishonesty that I absolutely abhor, and have for decades.

So Big Bob, I cannot and will not take my intelligence that you acknowledge that I possess, and diminish it while remaining an honest politician; not by staying quiet when I see such dishonesty and associative ignorance in government. If it is my curse to your ilk that I fully recognize the damage these fools commit upon the rest of us ... the good citizens of these states united ... then I will bear that curse until those good people rally around what is real.

That will happen at some point.

Even though my referenced comment was not regarding smart v stupid, but was more about the corrupt v the good, I am now inclined to ask at this point, Big Bob:

Is Joe Biden smart?

Was Nancy Pelosi smart?

Is Charles Schumer smart?

We have all seen your comments on President Trump's intellect, who actually was a very effective president and is smart, so I do believe that you, once again Big Bob, stand corrected as I do believe that hypocrisy, at least for the other side from yours, certainly is never a noble gesture.

Even though this is a satirical piece: Have not the wise, good Americans learned one should never trust a Leftist with First Amendment issues, especially not Mark Zuckerberg?

I will clear it up one step further. I am in full compliance with all zoning regulations for the City of Washington. If you have a problem with Candidate Ceres, I suggest you take it up with him; he is the candidate.

I told all I know to be true, as I always do. Your inarticulate conflation of what I wrote is your business, or to whatever extent Candidate Ceres provides you time to explain.

Eastern NC NOW allowed you your one chance to voice your conflated comment, and this publisher will allow no more of such unless it is directed toward Mr. Ceres, and his purpose for running for office.

When will American Indians understand that they should never disabuse Elitist Leftists of their Woke political issues, especially ones concerning "Native Americans?"

This is a first for ENC NOW: A commentor with such a low point in self esteem that they publicly identify as "Joe Biden" by using his much maligned moniker.

Big Bob: Your pejorative commentary toward this publisher still does not negate the fact that you really have no clue of what is real, as though these baseless words of yours might lend cover for your Leftist masters, and how they manipulate you to think as they wish you to act.

Big Bob: I more than you realize understand the limitations of the Leftist mind; however, you may have hit a new low. Go back and re-read what I wrote; you are conflating issues and have confused yourself ... again.
