We'll let's see...the current Mayor of Freeport, while serving previously as a County Judge, once declared that Commissioner's Court meetings were not forums for public discussion.

Prior to that, he was a career educator and principal whose lived his whole life with his head in the public trough. Your won't find a darker stripe of liberal anywhere else in this community.

While in office as Judge, I seem to remember him sending campaign literature out on county letterhead. All in all, nothing different than the normal liberal tripe we're accustomed to seeing.

It's odd that property bounding the proposed marina has been declared "blighted", yet property tax valuations are duly ratcheted up 10 percent annually.

With government like this, Durbin, Hagel et al, we're long past the time to lock and load. Until some of these bozos are found swinging from a lamp post in town squares across the country, I doubt things will get better.

That said, I'm a really nice guy, but don't let that out.

I majored in Philosophy/English Lit back in the day, and I remember every ethics class being centered around moral relativism and "meta-ethics" (might be different in Christian colleges). Sometimes its just better to stick with the Ten Commandments. That is, let your yes be yes, and your no be no. (i.e. "If thou wilt not follow the ten commandments, then thou wilt be enslaved to the 10,000 commandments")

or something like that.
