No one gender and no one race has a monopoly on truth. Philosophies that believe otherwise are dangerous and hateful.

This is a subject that requires thought, but when people are caught in blatant lies in furtherance of abortion without restrictions, it actually is that simple. Lying for the cause is a dangerous hardcore tactic. As long as this issue is approached as a political football game, respect for life will be marginalized and even trivialized by the left.

On the subject of the FISA Bill of all things, Bub Bob felt obliged to state that, "In pre civil war south there were no free blacks. Africans were property...[concluding with a racist personal attack]."

I'm wondering why left-wing zealots think they have the right to tell such fantastical lies and when called out on it respond by saying OTHERS have a "sick outlook on the human condition." I guess hypocrisy abounds in the 21st century. The truth still matters.

Our brainwashed pro Hamas university students should be cheering for this pro Hamas bill. Hooray, American citizens get to fund it. Our own border - just not a priority. This bill is not good for American citizens.

The totalitarian weapon of "hate speech" is a very, very serious threat to a free society.

ROTFL - Sometimes you've just got to laugh. I imagine the experts in "reverse PHYSIOLOGY" can best be found in the campus DEI offices. I'm betting it must be some kind of new trans-sexual term.

It should be noted that Congressman Greg Murphy is calling those of us with concerns about FISA 4th Amendment violations and overseas war funding - terrorists. In his mind defending our Bill of Rights and our sovereign border should not be used to protect us. He says we need to violate our Bill of Rights and defend overseas borders in order to keep us safe.

I hear Congressman Murphy was too busy over the weekend to face the homefolks at the 3rd District Convention. It is my understanding that Murphy has no Democrat opponent in the coming election. I know nothing about his Libertarian opponent, but he has my vote. He can't be worse than what we have now. Our present-day representative is a far cry from Walter Jones.

"Want a better response?" He's got to be kidding. He's giving the perfect responses to demonstrate what our students are being bombarded with in their racist DEI training in public institutions of higher learning, paid for by taxpayers. By all means don't stop! We couldn't ask for a better assistant to demonstrate the dishonest and disturbing Neo-Marxist indoctrination buzzwords and phrases used on our trusting young ones on campus DEI offices and departments.

The expected standard fare - The racial response rather than an argument based in truth.

In the hierarchy of leftist values truth is ranked well below other values, such as the Marxist values of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This does not mean you can't find individuals taking liberties with truth-telling all along the political spectrum, right to left. It does mean that truth-telling is not high on the far-left's list of values. There are examples galore of this phenomenon. At the top of this list is political correctness.

Thanks to the commenter from the Left for providing the example to back up my concerns about the DEI situation in our educational institutions. No thanks to the proposition of inserting this racist nightmare into the lives of our young ones.

Wow. I'm not seeing all those scary monsters Bob sees everywhere. The threat I do see is the DEI bureaucracy stoking the coals of division in our society. It would be a shame to allow Marxist notions to destroy all the gains we have made. It would be a shame to allow dishonest notions to poison the psyche of our young people and deliberate untruths to undermine our children's ability to reason effectively.

I don't believe inclusion occurs by using exclusion. I don't believe crying about certain aspects of ancient history is productive for the present. I don't believe constant groveling and apology tours for things I have nothing to do with directed toward people who have only lived in the 20th or 21st century makes me look like anything but an idiot. I do not believe giving my freedoms away to those craving power over me makes my family safer.

I do believe in treating people like I want to be treated. I have the power to do that. I also have the power to stand against systems of thought that have historically led mankind to destruction. It is my duty to do that for the next generation.

BB identity: I don't know who you are addressing. If it is me, I can't imagine what makes you legitimately arrive at such a conclusion. Simply and broadly put, a position of unity rather than division is not a position excluding anyone.

We are well overdue in addressing this DEI madness in our university system. Please don't stop now. It is every bit as bad in the community college system.

Here in Beaufort County our woke RINO/Democrat led county commission seem to be out to lunch on the issue. This is an election year. Will BC Republicans continue to elect more Democrat in drag RINOs than conservatives to the Board?

Same goes with the school board. They are made up of 7 Republicans and 2 Democrats. Out of those 7 Republicans, are more than 3 really consistent conservatives?

The far-left troll on this site not only stands by NPR he also practices the same philosophy.
Ms. Maher said, "Truth...is a distraction that gets in the way of getting things done." BBB gives examples of that with most of his comments.

So, in Davidson County Schools correct English is hate speech.

War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength; Two and two make FIVE! We obviously have Orwellian totalitarianism in some N.C. schools. We sure as He$$ don't want it in Beaufort County Schools.

It appears that the resident far-left pseudo historian (and pseudo lefty climate scientist) has absolutely no knowledge of the hundreds of thousands of free blacks in the antebellum south. So, in his mind, free black slave owners like William Ellison, Anthony Johnson, Nathaniel Butler, Justus Angel, Marie Therese Metoyer, Antoine Dubuclet, Andrew Durnford and John C. Stanly, to name a few, could not have existed in his delusional far-left narrative.

To have credibility, truth matters.

BBB's credibility was already laughable. Lately, he's obliterated any semblance of credibility. If the goal is to be a comic caricature of the far-left, then well done. If that's not it, then a sad, delusional more embarrassing end has been attained. At least the mask is intact.

With an ignorant overall population like our, it is no wonder Congress can get away with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Modern education: Too much emphasis on made up pronouns and too little emphasis on quotation marks.

I am really concerned that this dumbed down generation doesn't know enough to see the danger of FISA's Section 702.

JMan: I have also noticed that Murphy has not stood up for Southern heritage. It's my understanding that he grew up in Raleigh, so that's a little mystifying to me. But then again, we have some native-born politicians in Beaufort County that seem to think they are too cool for all that sort of thing too.

That's OK. They just shouldn't be surprised when I do not support them in their political career aspirations. If they won't respect things as fundamental as our heritage, it's usually a red flag for other things too. For me that's a deal breaker by itself. In this case it is no surprise there is actually more than that.

If a corrupt American justice system can harass a billionaire presidential candidate, what can they do to the average citizen? In fact, what are they actually doing to average citizens now? The American justice system being used as a political weapon is a monumental loss. Without some semblance of equal justice under law, we have no free society. We very well may be already past the point of no return.

It do appear that the top-down corruption era of the NCGOPe continues to thrive while disgusted and disrespected grassroots Republicans increasingly realize they have no real party. Generally speaking, the grassroots actually believe in a party platform and party principles. Yeah buddy, the NCGOPe has principles too. Like: corruption and thirst for power. Just think, if they can undermine a few more honest principled Republicans in office maybe they can avoid the next batch of NCGOPe leaders being hauled off in handcuffs again.

To this observer, it seems to me that the honest Republicans in North Carolina either need to leave in mass or stay and fight for better in mass. This in between scenario gives us this embarrassing and useless NCGOPe excuse for a party.

Commented on A Cruel Promise

Stan: You have presented the crux of it: These fools do presume to tell the real Republicans how to elect commissioners. In fact, they presume to impose upon us all their salvation from limited voting in the form of their alternative which will be just as bad and is likely to give THEM even more control of the process. With this kind of thinking the average citizen is likely to be just as powerless, but his local masters will likely be MORE powerful. Yes, a real recipe for disaster.

Commented on A Cruel Promise

There is nothing good coming from the petition being passed around by that clique that runs the Beaufort County Republican Party.

There is no organized party in Beaufort County looking out for John Q. Public in this voting system debate or anything else. They are all working for their own individual self-interests. That is just one of the reasons why I choose not to involve myself with the Beaufort County Republican Party. There are plenty of other reasons too: They hate conservatives. I'm conservative. They hate native southerners. I'm native southern. A small sample example. Screw them, too. That is that with local Repubs. The Democrats abandoned John Q. Public long ago.

I do not support any voting system that does not respect individual citizens. I imagine it would take the business end of a gun barrel to get these crooks to arrive at a point advantageous to the citizens in general. In the meantime, I'm not holding my breath waiting for something good from that crowd.

This doesn't say much for the N.C. delegation. If the vote were closer on getting the bill passed, I wouldn't expect Murphy to come through in that scenario. Anyway, that's my opinion.
