I missed the "Meet and Greet" since I was out of town with only a 24 hour advanced notification.

Washingtonian: Yeah, but humans still need some foothold in the real world, and that is human inspired art.

Bath Parent and Truth Be Told are aliases of uniform commenters that consistently make NO sense when presenting their weak arguments against Conservative ideals regarding local governing here in Beaufort County.

Rather than intelligently discuss the issues of their many more Leftist concern, they would rather employ their infamous ad hominem attacks against whichever Conservative politician they choose to attack, which is always baseless, leaving us all with some senseless conclusion elevating a certain and continual sense of nothing.

Washingtonian: I am firmly on your side.

And think of this: Bad Governments that are incompetent, I would argue, are within the spectrum of a distinct form of corruption, which is combined responsibility between the incompetent politicians and their ill informed constituents.

Bubba, you have actually made a salient political point.

3.3% inflation while at war, a war that restricts the distribution of oil, is a good number.

Paying a little more right now for goods is not such a bad thing, and the very least we citizens can do to contribute.

Roadkill: One more prime example why some people should move as far away from Fakebook as they possibly can stand.

On the mean, the public does not get any smarter on Facebook ... Too many crackpots with big mouths and small brains.

A federal grand jury in North Carolina has recommended that disgraced FBI Director James Comey be indicted for inciting violence against President Trump, a president that Comey vilified as a prominent tool of the Non Patriot Left, by perpetrating the Russia Hoax; an infamous black mark against the Democratic Socialist Propagandistic Media, and the Democratic Socialist Party at large.

I am proud of my state for playing its part in the recognition that justice must be blind.

The Democratic Socialists, with their Non Patriot Leftist shock troops, have made a political living out of Illegal Aliens, culminating in the unambiguous Open Border Policy, which has and will tax the people of this Republic trillions of dollars until honest elected leaders straighten this mess created by the completely dishonest Democratic Socialists, who exist everywhere they ply their mendacity form of governing upon we, the self-governed.

If the whole of this Representative Republic wishes to root out all Institutional Corruption the self-governed people of this great land will never give anything to those who perpetrate such.

NO amnesty for Illegals; NONE.

Well, Barack Hussein Obama had some interesting ideas on what constituted patriotism in our Republic; he advocated the managed decline of our civilization.

This is truly a political issue rather than a bureaucratic one.

Either the county commissioners wish to help the taxpayers by lowering the amount of money they pay the local governing authority, or they do NOT. It is that simple.

Concerned Taxpayer: I am your audience, and I understand your point.

Vant Zant: 'If one cannot dazzle them with brilliance, they can always baffle them with B.S.'

In what I do (actually everything in my worklife), and what Hood does (actually everything in Hood's worklife), there are technical parameters that must be dealt with to get things done, while staying out of trouble.

In my governing work-life, since coming back on the board of county commissioners, is trying to get things done as a Real Republican, while in the minority serving against 5 Democrats from 2018 to 2022, and now against 4 Democrats since 2022 until now. Alternatively, the constant parameter that Beaufort County GOP RINOs and RINO Whisperers advocate is to provide great advantage and succour for the Democratic RINOs serving the Center-Left here in Beaufort County.

For the Democratic Socialists, they have stopped running candidates because the local GOP does that for them; a salient fact that the Beaufort County GOP refuses to recognize.

Jeff: Max did run as a team with Nick and Joe. If Joe Davis is an "Independent," he is one of the most highly tuned Independents that I have ever come across.

Steve: You are right about spreading the search parameters regarding a manager. If I am ever in a situation where I am partly (as a minority member) in control of hiring a manager, I will push for this dual approach to finding that good manager.

"Real Conservative" is a misnomer for any RINO that usurps the good work done by Real Republicans, who worked to limit government, by lowering spending and eliminating corruption, waste fraud and abuse. "Real Conservative" you do the Republican Party a disservice by masquerading as what you are not: You are NOT "Real," as you are here hiding behind an alias, and you are NOT a "Conservative" as you only support RINOs in local elections. This is the MO of the local GOP, and that notariety is widespread, as was confirmed to me often during the 1st District Convention held last Saturday.

Taxpayers of Beaufort County: If your taxes went up far too much last year, it is because of petty frauds, like the fake "Real Conservative," who operate in a corrupt manner within the Beaufort County GOP to only support RINOs, and possibly RINO Whisperers in local elections; those fake Republicans that vote for every spending increase, and support every tax increase, and that is why the fraud, announcing herself as "Real Conservative," considers Commissioner Hood Richardson an "ineffective Republican," which he certainly is not; never was; never will be.

Truth Be Told: I attend the meetings to make a difference, but the difference is impossible when RINO corruption gets in the way of actually having a real meeting, where the work gets done, and right now the so-called Beaufort County GOP is doing NOTHING to aid real Republican candidates in the upcoming elections; for instance - getting out the vote in the recent primary, where the Republican Party here in Beaufort County did absolutely NOTHING.

I, and other keen observers, could easily argue that the planned complacence by the local GOP aided in hard-working Representative Kidwell losing his primary, and school board incumbents, like competent Steve Rader, being replaced due to an onslaught of Democrats switching to Unaffiliated to pick the Republican nominees to serve as our candidates in the general election. One has to reckon: How many of these Democrats-turned-Unaffiliated-taking-Republican ballots barrelled to the polls to vote for Keith Kidwell, or Steve Rader, or Travis Martin, or Stan Deatherage or Charles Hickman (with only Hickman and Deatherage surviving the primary)?

NO, there is little difference being made in every stretch of the political /governing paradigm by Beaufort County GOP, in which their obvious plan appears ambivalence, or worse, toward all local candidates waxing conservative.
