Hm! U.S. House District 5 Republican candidate Ralph Norman is endorsed by the Koch brothers’ Club for Growth super PAC. He voted against relief aid to South Carolina farmers who had major crop damage during the 2015 floods and against an infrastructure bill that would improve South Carolina roads and transportation.
And the police officers – are you kidding me? He voted against workers’ compensation if they suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.

For hundreds of years, we in Western society have thought about things with a linear and incremental mindset. Progress – in society, commerce, science, engineering, etc. – was believed to be something that happens sequentially, usually slowly, with one step leading to another. This mindset is embedded in how we think about things and express ourselves – “steady as she goes… one step at a time… the tortoise wins the race.”

Concerning Friday’s editorial page, obviously we already knew who Democrat Phil Noble was backing. My reaction to his latest diatribe is that we do not need yet another divisive Democrat in Congress. Period.
As to AARP official Patrick Cobb’s column, we have not forgotten that AARP, a Medicare supplement seller, backed the Obamacare scam. We have not forgotten that the ACA wants to steal $800 billion of senior’s Medicare payments to support their health insurance scam. Subsidies to those making over $120,000 per year is pure vote-buying.
