Standing up
Vote early, it's easy. I will vote for Elisabeth Motsinger because she stands up for the environment. Yes, we need jobs, but not at the expense of the planet. Elisabeth will stand up to big polluters and protect the environment.

On both sides
A recent letter came close to my thoughts when the writer used the term “Do-Nothing Congress.” Even before President Bush was elected, I told my wife the economy and conditions around the world were so complex and so messed up, that no matter who was elected, no one would be able to solve all the problems. A candidate could make pre-election promises of almost any kind, but, even acting in good faith, he or she might find it difficult to keep them. I reiterated those thoughts before President Obama took office, and I think they will apply if Mitt Romney is elected.
If Sen. John McCain had been elected and members of Congress had made it their primary goal to prevent him from being re-elected, his administration would have had a hard time accomplishing his pre-election promises, or anything else he attempted.
Likewise, if Mitt Romney is elected, and the Democratic Party bows its back and acts like a petulant child, he will have difficulty during his first and maybe only term.
What has become of the concept of “…government of the people, by the people and for the people” (versus for the politicians)?
It's time for politicians on both sides to remember that “bipartisan” and “compromise” aren't dirty words, and that regardless of which party presents an idea, it should be thoroughly considered on the basis of its merits, and the good of America, not on whether it will make the other party look good.

Pollution plague
“Fracking” has become the latest buzzword to identify the latest pollution plague of our state. Gas producers have found a ripe grape ready to pick. North Carolina is not a petroleum-producing state so does not have the infrastructure and protections that such a petroleum-producing state would have. As I stated earlier, we are a ripe grape ready for the picking. The petroleum industry knows this and believe me when I say it will feast.
Those who don’t want to see wells pop up like cell towers and our underground water, more precious than oil or gas, polluted, need to get involved now. Start with November. See how our representatives voted on the fracking bill and the subsequent governor’s veto, and if he or she is up for reelection, let them know where it hurts.
I believe if we as concerned citizens of this state look at the record of fracking we will see it is not for this state.

Experience is needed
I am endorsing Forsyth County commissioner David Plyler for re-election because he bases his decisions on what is best for our community. Actions speak louder than words. Plyler has served on numerous boards and commissions. As just one example, Plyler is serving as chairman of the executive board for the Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind for a third time. The organization now has sales in excess of $130 million and is the nation’s number-one employer for the blind.
Dave Plyler’s experience has never been needed more. Forsyth County faces very important issues:
reduced state funding for our schools and CenterPoint lower property taxes because of revaluation
continuing with a responsible tax structure to maintain the Triple A bond rating that few other counties have attained jobs encouraging growth in business projects.
In 2008, Plyler promised to bring jobs to Forsyth County. The county has added more than 1,000 jobs since then.
Among his impressive assets is his executive experience. He is a retired executive from Truth Broadcasting, a network of Christian talk-radio stations in several states. As a four-year veteran of U.S. Air Force, Plyler is a member of the Veterans memorial Foundation, building a memorial in Triad Park to honor our servicemen. The $1.5 million project is to be funded by private donations.
Dave Plyler has done an outstanding job and deserves re-election. Please join me in supporting our community’s friend, David Plyler for county commissioner.

For Obama
Some reasons I'm voting for President Obama:
Romney apparently wants to plunge headlong into the conflict in Syria and other intrigues in the Middle East, and instigate “tough talk” and saber-rattling around the globe. We have squandered lives and treasure in two wars over 11 years. Enough.
Though the recession has been difficult and unemployment stubbornly static, measures taken by the administration have prevented another depression. We might have seen unemployment near 30 percent. Many now alive cannot imagine this, but it could happen.
Leading a business and leading the government require different skills. Business is largely about increasing wealth for those who already have money. Government is, in part, about protecting all citizens from dire poverty, with a hand where possible and, yes, a hand-out when truly necessary. Obama made it possible for Wall Street and the banking industry to survive their foolish greed. Now those very executives refuse to consider giving up their government hand-outs (loop-holes, tax breaks, subsidies, etc.,) and vilify the president, who won't grovel before them. Some gratitude.
The Supreme Court is teetering on the brink of an ultra-conservative majority. Precious rights may be in jeopardy. Already it has given us the Citizens United decision, enabling the buying of elections by superPACs.
Romney wafts the way the wind blows. This indicates a follower, not a leader.
In the president's last term, a divided Congress may be more willing to work together for the good of the country.

Fiscal conservatives
We have seen an improvement in the fiscal condition of the state since the Republicans took control of the Legislature. It is important we continue to place fiscal conservatives into the positions that are on the council of state so that we can see more positive change in the way our state government is operated.
Pat McCrory seems to be the next governor. We need to elect Dan Forest as lt. governor, Ed Goodwin as secretary of state and most importantly John Tedesco as superintendent of public education.
Tedesco has proven he knows how to cut school-system budgets and improve performance of the schools. He has a vision for the North Carolina school system that is innovative and will bring control of our schools back to North Carolina and not in Washington, D.C.
Ed Goodwin, who I worked with at the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, turned around Chowan County finances and has excellent ideas for improving the business climate in North Carolina.
Dan Forest has an excellent background and also holds strong values that would benefit North Carolina.

Desperate people do desperate things.
ReplyDeleteObama had that look last night. You know the one. 'I've got to do something, or something bad is going to happen'.
Someone obviously told Obama, and he probably even realized it on his own, 'Look, you're going to have to get in there, and fight in this debate, or you're going to lose the election.'
Well, from the the Democratic perspective, he at least came to play in last night's debate. But he was a little bit like Rush, he was faced with trying to defend his losing positions on a variety of topics and issues. And, like Rush, Obama resorted to making up facts, or distoring them, and that didn't help his cause either.
Obama's big gutter ball was on Libya. Obama tried to parse words when he made a generic comment about terrorism in a prior speech about Libya. He, and his minion, Susan Rice went on TV shows over and over and said it was a spontaneous act, and the result of film about Islam. A third grader, or a person with a simpleton's mind like Rush's, knows that he didn't specifically call the Libya attack an act of terrorism in that speech.
On a side note, how does CNN even become qualified, or chosen to moderate a presidential debate, with its abysmal record on distorting facts to benefit Obama and Democrats? Why not FoxNews, then?
Candy Crawley, of CNN, didn't disappoint last night. She was her typical butt ugly self, and decided to bail out the president when he was in trouble on the Libya question.
Romney seemed much more presidential in the debate, both in style and substance. He was much more poised.
Fear, a component of being desperate, is not very becoming on some people.
If you dare. Take a look at this video. It's similar to the butt chewings I give to Rush daily in this forum over his ridiculously outrageous statements.
DeletePresident Obama and UN Ambassador Susan Rice should be ashamed of themselves for their actions regarding the terrorist attack in Libya.

ReplyDeleteGood afternoon folks!
ReplyDeleteLTE 1: Endorsement
LTE 2: "...no matter who was elected, no one would be able to solve all the problems." - Finally, someone who gets it. The partisanship exhibited by Congress is such that which one wins the presidency is esentially irrelevant because Congress is hopelessly gridlocked. I do not see any change from the party out of the WH trying everything to prevent the POTUS from enacting his policies. I also do not see anyone in the House or the Senate who is currently capable of rising above party politic crap to build coalitions to get needed legislation passed.
LTE 3: Umm, wasn't this LTE published yesterday or the day before?
LTE 4: Endorsement (Disclosure: I was in a community band with Dave Plyler's daughter, Amanda. One of the sweetest girls you would ever meet)
LTE 5: What?? It will be neither regardless of who gets elected.
LTE 6: Endorsement. Bonus points to Mr. Pulliam for at least acknowledging that running a company is in no way, shape or form like being POTUS.
LTE 7: What improvement has there been? The vast majority of states are seeing their employment rates improve, while NC is still stuck around 10% - one of the worse in the nation. The state R's campaigned on getting people back to work, instead they spent their term legislating women's bodies, the ability of gays to marry, voter id for non-existent fraud, allowing the paranoid to carry a gun everywhere they go, and reducing or eliminating proven educational programs that enabled children in poverty to stay in school and become employable adults. I read the views of Dan Forest, and he wants to dismantle the public schools in favor of children being homeschooled or going to private schools. Just what we need, the future generations being taught that creationism is legitimate science in a state that is trying to build a biotech base. Now, just how incredibly stupid is that? If the legislatures get their way in cutting back education, this state is going to have a tremendous increase in the amount of people stuck forever in welfare because they are unemployable. Are these dumbass legislators really so effing stupid that they cannot see the correlation between high levels of education and high paying (equals more tax dollars), high in demand jobs??

Interesting:
ReplyDeleteThe LDS Church teaches that at the end of the world everyone will be resurrected. They also believe that almost everyone will go to heaven, which is divided up into three main levels. Bad people go to the lowest, the Telestial Kingdom (Doctrine and Covenants 76:81-86). Good people, who were not Mormons, will go to the middle level, the Terrestrial Kingdom (D&C 76:71-79). Mormons will go to the highest level, the Celestial Kingdom (D&C 76:50-70). However, only those who merit the highest part of the Celestial Kingdom will have Eternal Life [the ability to live in a marriage relationship and continue to beget children—see D&C 132:20-24, also see Mormons Hope to Become Gods of Their Own Worlds]. All others have immortality [which is defined as the ability to live forever in a single condition, not married and no future children] but do not have Eternal Life. One must be married in the LDS temple and then obey all of the Mormon regulations to get to the highest degree of heaven. The first time a Mormon attends the temple endowment ceremony he/she will be given a new name [usually a Bible name like Peter or Mary or the name of European royalty]. These will supposedly be their names in eternity. The wife must tell her husband her new name, and no one else, as he is supposed to call her up in the resurrection. If he does not call her up she would still resurrect, but not as his wife.
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteMan, this one has me really worried. What if I forget my wife's secret name? She will still figure out a way to get to the Celestial Kingdom, and when she does she will certainly kick my butt pretty good.
DeleteI would not be surprised if the guy wearing the racist T-shirt turned out to be a plant, perhaps a freelancer or sent by a lefty outfit like the SEIU. Regardless, he was given the heave-ho.
ReplyDeleteIt's a liberal conspiracy
DeleteAccording to the polls, after Mormon Utah, in which state does Mitt Romney have his biggest lead over the President?
Yes. I remember you said the exact same thing when tea partiers were videoed spitting on black members of Congress.
DeleteExcuses excuses...
I'm sure I did, and I have great confidence in the left to plant shills. No matter, the trashy jerk was kicked out. And yes, he may well have been racist for Romney, but don't think the left side of the spectrum is saintly. It really can't be that hard to imagine an OWS person pulling a stunt like that, can it? TB's are on both sides. As are racists.
DeleteIf you think the right and the left are equal in this, then I fundamentally disagree with your interpretation of American history.
DeleteThe right has been fighting to preserve a racist system for a very long time. The left, whether they were radical Republicans in the 1870s or McGovernite Democrats in the 1970s, has been fighting racism since day one.
Nixon and Reagan exploited white resentment through the Southern Strategy...there is a reason the deep south is now solidly Republican. Racism still exists on the right today. How you can comment so long on JournalNow and not see that...it's a total mystery to me.
The two sides just aren't equal on this. I'm sorry, but it's true.
OWS? You mean those folks who are evil because they leave a lot of trash behind…just like that earlier American protest group known as the Sons of Liberty? Haven't heard a peep out of OWS in months. I'll bet is was unions that put the guy up to it.
DeleteI am a great believer in conspiracies. For instance, I am certain that J. Edgar Hoover…I mean the Cosa Nostra…I mean Fidel Castro…I mean LBJ…I mean Jesse Helms…oh, what the hell, somebody…had both Kennedys and Martin Luther King killed.
And it is absolutely provable that Jane Fonda, Jerry Rubin and the Chicago Seven torpedoed our automatic slam dunk win in Viet Nam.
And don't even get me started on 9/11. I know for sure exactly what happened. But it won't do any good to kill me, because I told several other people already, and some of them have computers.
The point being that despite Occam's Razor, my first thought when anything happens is that it is some sort of conspiracy...think black helicopters.
BTW, speaking of conspiracies, the answer to my question: Idaho.
Mitty's biggest lead is in the Kingdom of Latter Day Saints, at about 41-42%. But next is Idaho, at about 35-36%. Why?
Boise, Idaho is one of the most pleasant and attractive cities in the USA. You've got to feel sorry for the sane and friendly residents of that city. They struggled for years to eject the disgusting Aryan Nation from their state. Unfortunately, while they were distracted with that, the number of so-called "Patriot" groups in the state increased from around 150 to over 500.
All of those groups are obsessed with loony tunes conspiracies, and all are as racist as Strom Thurmond. And they know how to get out the vote.
There were conspiracy theories when Henry IV was assassinated by Ravaillac. People wouldn't believe that a great man was killed by one lunatic. Lesson being, people see what they want to see.
DeleteOK, nothing but saints on the left, and the worst that union goons do is help old ladies across the street and rescue cats out of trees. Got it. Ask the black guy that SEIU hoods beat up at the Tea Party rally. Oh, sorry 'bout that; his chin attacked their fists. I stand corrected.
DeleteSo you've been reading the crackpot sites as well, huh?
DeleteThis so-called "beating" has not been reported by any legitimate news source...local or national...not even FoxLies®. If true, Fox would have been all over it. If you really think that the New York Times would fail to report something like this, then you are edging into Bucky territory.
Just some video from an unknown source posted with a twist by the loonies. There is no record of anyone being arrested in St. Louis County, where it supposedly occurred, for any such action.
I guess the local police are in on the conspiracy. They always are, aren't they?
It always comes back to unions and the SEIU. I could be talking about pimento cheese sandwhiches, for chrissakes.
DeleteWow, Arthur should be working for the CIA. How could he know that pimento cheese is a secret weapon of the commies?
DeleteUp until the mid-1980s I was a member of the John Birch Society and a part of Jesse Helms inner circle and an intimate of the Great Reagan. My wife is the daughter of a well known right wing admiral who lives in Alexandria, VA.
Sometime in the late 1980s, while visiting my wife's parents, she and I went out to lunch at a new place called Union Street Public House. How could I have been so foolish? I mean, they had "Union" as part of their name.
We had some of their fresh oysters on the half shell as a starter. I had intended to have a salad for the rest of my meal, but this devious waiter from Georgetown University (you know, the alma of that commie slut Sandra Flake), started pitching Union Street's famous Saloon Cheeseburger, topped with their even more famous top secret pimento cheese.
Well, now we know why the pimento cheese is top secret. The next day, I peed in my father-in-laws fireplace in front of seven Medal of Honor winners, flipped Nancy Reagan the bird and resigned from the John Birch Society.
Since my wife had a mere taste of my cheeseburger, she went along. So for the last 20+ years, we have both been slaves to the secret left wing conspiracy that has brought the USA to the brink of ruin.
If I could, I would go back to that day of pimento cheese and have the salad that I meant to have. If I could, I would repent the awful deeds that I have done in the years since.
But we are both permanently enslaved, our brains frozen by the secret ingredients of that pimento cheese. And we go back every year several times for a booster shot.
Our only hope is that some time soon someone will notice the name of this hideous carnal house of democracy and blow the Union Street Public House off the face of the earth. Where is Tim McVeigh when we need him?
Oh, I forgot. The Cheney administration executed him. Why is that not a surprise?
The Union forever, hurrah boys, hurrah!
Too many rules in that Mormon Heaven. Depending on how they feel about the Mormon rules I don't follow, I guess I'd float between Telestial and Terrestrial.

Lyin’ Ryan is at it again. This time he faked a “photo op” at a soup kitchen, "ramrodding" his way in after the meal was over, the place cleaned up and the volunteers ready to go home…he put on an apron and “washed” some already clean pots and pans, while his wife faked carrying food to the long departed homeless folks.
ReplyDeleteThe president of the society that runs the kitchen was not amused: “He (Ryan) did nothing. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall,” Brian Antag said.
I guess Ryan is taking a tip from his running mate, who once claimed that he regularly “spent a day” when he was governor of Mass doing “menial” work such as trash collection and hay pitching…yeah, right.
Mitty's latest hits:
ReplyDelete1. In the debate Tuesday night, he said that the way to keep assault rifles off the streets was to make sure that we had more two parent families…thus insulting the millions of single moms and dads who have raised millions of fine, upstanding children.
By the time that this over, it will be a mark of shame not to have been insulted by this jackass.
2. Also during the debate Tuesday night, he claimed that as governor of Massachusetts, he had been so dismayed at the lack of female cabinet candidates that he sent women's groups out to find them.
"I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks?' and they brought us whole binders full of women," he said.
LIE A bipartisan coalition of women's groups, alarmed at the low number of women in appointive positions in the state, did a search on their own…Mitty never even thought about such a thing.
Even so, during his administration, the number of women in such roles fell by 10%.
3. Also during the debate, he charged that it took the President days to call the Benghazi attack an act of terror. When the President interrupted and told him to "get the transcript", Romney merely repeated his remark, at which point the moderator corrected him. I guess she only allows one lie on each subject. It's about time.
Obama called the Benghazi strike an "act of terror" on September 12, the day after the attack.
The only source that reported the strike as an act of terrorism on the actual day of the event was Debka.com, which is an intelligence, not news, site. Even they had it partly wrong, because they reported that there was a riot, which the Al Qaeda team used as cover. Al Jazeera reported the same on September 12, correctly naming the Al Qaeda unit that made the attack.
It is extremely important for the POTUS to get an accurate assessment of what happened in any international event involving US security. Apparently, the Great Mitt would have made an instant diagnosis and come up with an appropriate response, as his Republican predecessor did more than once, by declaring war on Libya.
I guess that Mitty has established his persona. Only a few weeks ago, when questioned about an obviously absurd earlier comment, he said that he did not remember what he had said, but he stood by it anyway. As any police detective or psychologist can tell you, inability to remember what one said is a sure sign of a congenital liar. We can always remember the truth, but lies are another matter.
