You make me laugh so hard I’m about to cry.

Much of this blog, this election cycle, and many participants on this blog simply offend my sense of fair-play, ethics, and decency.

So, if I get this right, because I think the money could have been better spent and if a flyer had not gone out then the BOS would have secretly passed a resolution on TV while keeping everyone in the dark.

So because I think the money could have been better spent and we obviously disagree then I am wrong and you can call me names and I should move to Cuba and get a high level job and then lay on my bed because this is a conservative blog and I am a flaming liberal and if people don’t agree with you and your neighbors you chase them away.

I get it now.

What was the nasty comment that I made?

I likened you to Hitler and the communists because they like to keep people in the dark. You obviously did not want the flyer to go out. I think it is an evil practice to not inform citizens of important votes. By your comments you seem to think that is okay. That is why I likened you to Hitler and the communists. The way they operate is to keep the people in the dark. They don’t want the people informed. They want to keep them ignorant. By jumping on Stewart for sending out the flyer you are in agreement with how communist governments like to operate. You’ve made your bed, now lie in it.

You likened me to Hitler and Castro because I don’t like Stewart? You think that’t okay?!

What was my nasty comment that set you off?

One Voice made the nasty comment but you seemed to agree with One Voice, so maybe you better clarify your remarks about Supervisor Stewart in what you agreed with One Voice.

In fact, I don’t recall implying he did anything wrong. I questioned the wisdom of spending money. Every citizen should be mindful of how the public coffers are spent and are free to comment about how their tax dollars are distributed. Unfortunately, we cannot line-item veto the items we do not wish to support.

I would beg to differ that this is a blog for conservative voices. If it were only for conservative voices, would that not be tantamount to preaching to the choir? That certainly would do away with spirited debate, now wouldn’t it? I would say that it is a conservative blog, implying that the issues set forth are from a conservative perspective. How government spends citizen’s money is most definitely a conservative issue.

Were I into name-calling, which I generally am not, I would suggest that the liberal involved in the discussion would want government to personally notify them of every move, regardless of cost, instead of assuming responsibility for themselves. However, that would be ….well….not me. I try to be civil and live by the ‘Golden Rule.’ I am not always successful, but that is my goal. As a moderate, I rarely get into conservative vs liberal. I seriously do not like labels.

Did you read the title of this thread or are you so consumed with my response that you forgot? Please go back and read the title of this thread.

Never mind, I will help you out:

BOCS Meeting Notice: No Violation Of The Law

It’s about the flyer.

One Voice needs to read my response. I suppose in your mind the liberals are always right 100% of the time. Yes, sometimes you do need a bit of “cold water in your face” so to speak.

Yes, I suppose you have the right to make deragotory comments about Supervisor Stewart. You better develop a thick skin quickly, if you plan on continuing your tirade on this blog about Stewart and that goes for you too Dolph.

This is a blog for conservative voices. If you promote your liberal ideas don’t think for one moment that you will not receive a negative response to your comments.

Before you berate Stewart again, look in the mirror and ask yourself if your comments are nasty. Can you be truthful?

Regarding running for supervisor, I would truly enjoy such a role. My main interests are less government, personal responsibility and fiscal responsibility; but I honestly can’t take the nastiness that accompanies so much of our political process. That is enough to keep me out of our election process.

I can handle a frank and opposing conversation including one fraught with emotion as so many are; however intolerance and meanness are so counterproductive to me in that arena that I choose to walk away from it. There is just nothing for an intelligent person to gain from that.

I am happily limted that way.

Thanks again !

Patty, it’s past time to put the mailers to bed. No one brought them up but you. It is over. They went out. Some of us approve, some of us don’t. That is what makes America such a great country.

I really must speak up for One Voice. She was addressing some questions I posed. I have never known her to be nasty. She is one person here who I believe we can count on to maintain her composure even if she is saying something we might not want to hear. Too bad SHE isn’t running for supervisor. She would guard our tax dollars and certainly is knowledgeable about the financial status of the county.

You thought the flyer was a waste. Anyone who says government shouldn’t inform constituents about important matters that come before the Board, I’m going to liken them to dictators and communists because that is exactly what they do. I think it is an evil practive to keep information from the citizens. I don’t buy into the idea of people being too lazy to find out for themselves. Some people don’t have the luxury of time. So if you are going to make comments about how that flyer should not have gone out, I’m going to throw cold water on your face, so to speak. You also made deragotory comments about Stewart. This man has gone out of his way to listen to the people of this community. He has more backbone and courage than a lot of other politicians I know. He was correct in sending out the flyer and we the citizens of this county appreciate that he did that.

This blog is a conservative blog. If you are going to make nasty comments about conservatives, you are going to get comments directed toward you that you will not like. If you don’t have a thick skin to take it, then go to a liberal blog and converse with people who are more in tune with your thinking.

I think so, too.

For the record, I am not voting for Corey Stewart either.

It is SO easy to REACT and get upset, it seems that it is programmed in our HUMAN behavior. That is too easy, I have to PRACTICE not to do that everyday…it gets easier with time…oh and yeah, I REALLY get practice everyday having to deal with slackjaw teenagers, LOL lesson they NEED to learn and I will not give up on…..:)
