When your middle of the road is somewhere between Mao Zedong and Ho Chi Minh, then everything else must seem like the extreme far right.

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.

I wonder if there is a priest left willing to serve Joe Biden communion.

The incredibly inept analysis by BBB serves as a humongous punctuation mark on the validity of this article.

As an aside - Doesn't it seem like the far-left troll on this site has no idea what the discussion is about most of the time?

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.

Considering that the cogs in the far-left institutions are capable of this level of lying, it makes you wonder just what else they are capable of.

The far-left do not care at all about context or truth. Like any propagandist their aim is to win by any means possible. They are betting and hoping that there are more ignoramuses and morons than clear thinking informed folks. Credible they are not.

I'm wondering under what authority the party might "place" anyone in a seat (for president). Although, that is sort of what the Democrats do with their super delegates choosing their nominee for president.

At the rate we are going with these types of practices, this country could be very near a point of no return. Maybe we are already there.

True and Berger is no friend of Beaufort County.

"Good thing they weren't to [too] bright."

That one makes the classic quotes from the far left list.

I do not believe candidates are sending out the stuff I saw online with their name on it that I know of. People HAVE come to me with stories of nasty things said about conservative candidates and conservative office holders for some time now. These hostile stories were from people that said they heard it from local officers of the Republican Party, and they said it in public places. My sources gave me the names of the particular officers.

I have lately been directed to online stuff that was over the top offensive and personal with strong racial connotations. A couple of people called me last night and asked me if it was from a candidate with roots in the county Repub. officer cadre, because they thought it was. I can't say for sure in instances like that. People don't put their names on stuff like that. It was vulgar, personal and I do strongly suspect the source, because it matches previous behavior that did come from the local Repub. Party. It is the same M.O. Certain things match.

If it is not from the local party now would be the time to disavow. My friends that know all the parties involved tell me they have no doubt. Exact words: "Duh, who else do you think it could be?" I tend to trust their judgement.

Locally, think about the Reg. of Deeds race and the Commissioner race. They will not be anyone endorsed on this sites' palm card. They will be candidates that serve on the BC Repub. Executive Committee.

Also, ask a committee member how they stand on wooing Democrats into a Republican Primary so as to defeat conservatives.

Primary palm cards from conservative sources are more important than ever. Other traditional sources for information can no longer be trusted by conservatives. For example, the Beaufort County Republican Party is now engaged in a dishonest and hateful anti-conservative campaign. A big part of this campaign is to invite DEMOCRATS to vote in the Republican primary in hopes of defeating conservatives.

For roughly the last decade the Beaufort County Republican Party has been in a steep decline. Using the actual party platform as a guide, I think it is safe to say the local Repub. Party is actually doing way more harm than good.

Brinson refusing to repudiate the smear that all people with political knowledge know to be a smear says a lot. So much for his claim of transparency. That's just words. So much for his claim of not being owned. He clearly is. Political ambition can make people do very disappointing things.
Speciale has a record. A very good record. It would be foolish to make a very suspect gamble on something else.

Each to their own. People have a right to their beliefs, but they should also own it, especially as public officials. It is hard to understand why supposedly conservative minded public servants would choose to flee to the increasingly more radical left and woke U.S. United Methodist Church rather than stay in their church in the same building with the congregation that voted to affiliate with the traditional Wesleyan Christians in the Global Methodist Church. Ducks say quack quack. Maybe woke is as woke does.

Since I'm not giving ANYTHING to the Ronna McDaniel led RNC, inserting Michael Whatley is supposed to win me over? What are these people smoking in the sleazy backrooms of power?

This statement by the President of the United States is astonishing. My friends in Texas and southern Arizona tell a different tale.
