Country Needs Realistic Leaders
Dear Editor,
While the counter-revolution begins against the anti-American, anti-capitalist woke mob, please let us add all of their allies in the financial system to the list of enemies of the citizenry.
The bureaucratic and economic leadership of our country has led us to moral and financial bankruptcy.
It is time to return to sound money, a Judeo-Christian ethic as our moral guide and to main street for our economic health.
If we are to climb out of the abyss that our country is in, there is going to have to be sacrifice by all of the citizenry.
We are suffering from a moral and economic rot that needs to be faced head on. Now.
Our country needs realistic leaders that are going to be truthful about the decline of our country’s health and offer specific solutions that will offer us rebirth.

Small Towns Could Be Swallowed Up
Dear Editor,
I want to say up front I am a member of the Town Council of the town of Pleasant Garden.
That being said, this move by Mr. Couch concerns me because of the potential fallout for not just Summerfield but every other small town that incorporated in order to protect themselves and their citizens from being swallowed up by Greensboro and losing the ability to chart their own course.
If things go the way of Greensboro, and portions of the town become unincorporated, it will be the first domino falling, allowing Greensboro to begin taking what they want when they want. Pleasant Garden will become a major target for them due to the Toyota plant – a very large and ripe plum. Yes, the plant is in Randolph County, but how many workers will be living here. This is a potential tax source Greensboro can’t pass up. And the county commissioners are the unknown quantity in this equation, although the probability is when it comes to it they will lean towards Greensboro.
We incorporated to keep Greensboro out to maintain our small town feel, our independence, our ability to rule ourselves and set our own course. Before the plant, we were pretty much ignored and treated as a bunch of people who were a bother. But we persevered, we worked and now we are courted by not just the county but the state as well.
I grew up in a small town like this in Ohio, and when the nearby city decided they needed the land they came after them. The area has changed completely. What used to be farms we played on are now housing developments full of cookie cutter houses. Pleasant Garden doesn’t want that and I would guess other small towns around us feel the same way.
This is a David vs. Goliath situation. Possibly Goliaths (plural) because I’m including the county commissioners and the state. If they believe in the American way, in what people like me who fought for, and in some cases died for, this country and the freedom it stands for, in what the people of Pleasant Garden, Summerfield and all the other small towns around Greensboro wanted when they incorporated because they wanted to decide their own fate, their own way of life. And the state, with their changes to the rules for incorporation, makes me think it is going to rule in favor of the de-annexation request.
What we, the small towns, have is the bedrock of what the republic that is our great country was built on. What Greensboro sees is another source of tax income and they don’t care about the people who they hurt.
Unfortunately, if Greensboro decides to go through with the presented scenario, we already know what the outcome will be and, short of an armed revolt, small towns will lose with the help of the county commissioners. Only one of them has anything to lose, and we know which side Skippy and his willing thralls will come down on. And don’t think moving across the county line will be the answer. It will continue to spread.
Citizens of Pleasant Garden and all the other small towns … carpe diem!
Alan Marshall
Government does not want to listen to or support town citizens. The people of Summerfield and it’s Town Council have spoken several times to not construct apartments. If NC Legislature and City of GSO approve this to happen, it shows once again they do not care about its citizens.
I can appreciate what Alan is saying. You ask almost any one who is a native of Greensboro if they are pleased with the direction this city is going, and they will say, they are not and wish things where like they used to be. This city has been taken over by people who strive to answer to only one group. THEMSELVES. They have forgotten who they work for. THEY WORK FOR US THE TAXPAYER. They strive to please a large segment who pay no taxes and get tremendous tax advantages. I wish the people of Summerfield luck in not being fooled by promises from Greensboro, because they will be very sorry, like loads of people who are living here and paying the consequences of a wrong direction and decision in the voting booth!!!
Speaking of sound money. The Marxian theory of controlling the currency for total domination is nearly totally completed:
1913 Federal Reserve act creating fiat money to circulate alongside silver & gold backed currency. Wilson administration. The dollar dived in value by nearly half before 1920.
1933 Confiscation of the citizen’s gold by Presidential (FDR) decree. Govt then raises the official price of gold from $20.67/oz to $35.00/oz.
1965 Removal of silver from the coinage in order to finance Great Society, Vietnam War, guns & butter, etc. LBJ administration.
1971 Cancellation of the redemption of the U.S. dollar in gold, from foreign banks & govts. Nixon Administration.
2023 Two large banks collapse under weight of massive debt. Banking policies in conjunction with Banks & the Biden administration consolidate their power. Digital currency is coming, soon. Cash is a lost freedom. You are tracked daily, everywhere.
The govt has the Media. All they have left to do in order to enslave us, is take away our ability to defend ourselves from tyranny.
We are being boiled to death.
Excellent exposition, Miller.
Most people have no understanding of the incremental debasement of the currency, and the totalitarian plans for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
In the meantime we should all try to use cash as often as possible, not just to protect our privacy and freedom, but also to ensure the merchant receives 100% of our money. Payment by plastic means the banks skim off about 5%, leaving the poor supplier with only 95% of his money.
When you use plastic cards, you’re helping to support the Left wing banking industry.
“…. wanted when they incorporated because they wanted to decide their own fate, their own way of life.”
It seems Mr. Couch is trying to decide his own fate with his 1,000 acres and Summerfield is getting in the way. In the same way Alan sees Greensboro as doing as they please to the detriment of small communities, it appears to me Summerfield is doing as they please with no regard to Couch. So far, Couch has offered compromises and Summerfield doesn’t budge. It seems reasonable Couch would want to deannex.
Couch had a hand in making the development ordinances in Summerfield, and Summerfield has not said no to the whole project; they just don’t want the apartments. This man is having a toddler fit because he can’t have 600 apartments instead of a few extra town homes. The man doesn’t even live here, so it won’t affect him one way or the other. He’s just being a jerk.
Sometimes I wonder if Alan realizes that the 1st amendment does not protect speech that insights violence.
Sometimes I wonder if Alan’s Ohio education taught him the difference between a clause and a complete sentence.
Sometimes I wonder if Alan realizes he says he wants Pleasant Garden to keep Greensboro out but Pleasant Garden is ill-equipped to make it a destination for Toyota and other businesses’ employees (sans “cookie cutter houses”). Seriously, without more housing and literally anything fun to do for families, those workers will take their tax dollars elsewhere.
Keep your town a doldrum and you’ll keep Greensboro from wanting it!
First, love the way you hide your identity. But still, luv ya, mean it
Didn’t know you’re a Constitutional scholar…oh yeah, you are obviously not.
Or an English major.
We love our town and are not trying “…to make it a destination for Toyota…”. If you look at how the charter that was written TO SATISFY AND PLACATE THE KINGDOM OF GREENSBORO, we are not allowed to do ANY annexation to the north, east or west, again TO SATISFY AND PLACATE THE KINGDOM OF GREENSBORO, and as for tax dollars compare our tax rate to Greensboro.
When you control things like water and sewer, like the KINGDOM OF GREENSBORO, you can throw your weight around. Wonder where we would be if the County controlled things like that instead of them.
As for “Keep your town a doldrum and you’ll keep Greensboro from wanting it!” you show you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Go fornicate with yourself.
Some of you over edjubicated fools will be begging us so-called uneducated southern dumbasses for beans, bread & water before this whole ordeal ends. Alan Marshall only mentioned that violence may become necessary. That is far from advocating violence. Your crowd would do well to realize that the freedoms and liberties you have were all bought and paid for with blood. While it’s never an ideal situation, and certainly not a pleasant thought, The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots alike. Like it or not, it’s coming, possibly within our lifetime. Those who understand and are prepared will fair the best. My ancestors adopted the motto Nemo Me Impune Lacessit. Those words ring true to this day, and should all others turn away, I will carry that out until my last breath. No quarter shall be given.
Just Sayin,
I’m glad to see some can actually read and understand my comments. Thank you for pointing out how some take words and twist them to suit what they want them to say, and thank you reminding me of the Tree of Liberty quote.
Hear, hear ! Western countries seem to be losing touch with what made them great. A hundred years ago my own country ruled a third of the World’s people and 25% of its land. Now we are a joke of a country that can’t even defend its own shores.
I fear America is going down the same road.

Young Americans: “Could you maybe suggest an actual plan instead of just telling us we are bad people”
Seriously, stop evangelizing and lay out an actionable plan. We are not going to start going to church. If you can’t do that, just keep sending your thoughts and prayers while us young folks fix all the problems the boomers made for us.
Jamie referring to other Americans as enemies says a great deal about the state of American politics. It also says a great deal about the state of Christian churches in the United States. Sad really.
What, like the Feds categorizing concerned parents as “Domestic Terrorists”? Like Lois Lerner’s IRS targeting and going after conservative non-profits? Like the FBI egging on Jan 6th protesters to enter the Capitol?
We’re living in an America where conservatives, and conservative Christians, are increasingly being targeted by state actors – not merely being called names. We are actually being categorized as enemies by our own “public servants”.
You are really trying to sell that the January 6th insurrectionists unlawfully marched into the Capitol, caused complete turmoil resulting in the death of a LEO, and are being found guilty after guilty after guilty of their crimes because the FBI egged them on?
Get real.
Try that again buddy – this time in English.
Conservatives love to play the victim to their fictitious oppressors while working hard to suppress those that don’t join their flock. They especially like to attack and oppress those that are already marginalized such as LGBTQ or people of low income.
If you make a rational, honest and truthful argument, they will then just attack you personally. Austin is a great example of this behavior.
Is that why you are attacking me personally?
Please… try to stick to debating the issue, Lying Chris.
Psychologists call this projection. Lying Chris is fond of throwing insults and epithets at all who disagree with his oh-so-predictable Leftist platitudes. So he calls us nutters and bigots, and moonshine swilling rednecks, and he engages in gratuitous character assassination.
This is because he finds it difficult to engage in substantive debate, and because he is an unpleasant odious little man.
He’s mendacious too. I have caught him misrepresenting data that he himself provided, and also caught him in an outright lie when he denied making a comment that was clearly his, and signed as Chris.
So you can see what kind of person he is.
A real Leftist.
Do you ever read any of the tripe you write aloud? Queers are marginalized because they choose an alternative (and immoral) lifestyle. January 6th is just a day of the year. Whatever happened there wasn’t handled well. If it wasn’t some staged bunch of baloney, no one should have crossed the thresholds of the building alive. If it was, then that’s concerning as well. Politics today are like theater, everything is for show. It won’t improve until the two existing major parties are dissolved and common sense and morality become priorities above all else. We need very little government, we need few laws. What would I know about government, or about how it works? My former boss was on the cover of Soldier Of Fortune Magazine twice, my former flight instructor died training Blackwater Operatives when another student snagged a skid on a handrail and rolled their AH-6M into a steel staircase. I’ve worked inside of government for decades. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Our government does some nasty & sometimes unspeakable things, and people with unique and esoteric skills are paid well to carry out those things. Just remember, while your sleeping soundly at night, others are out hunting the wolves so you can do so safely.
Just Saying:
LGTBQ is NOT a choice. They are born this way by God’s design. Get over yourself.
All this mud-slinging doesn’t accomplish anything. Doesn’t even make you feel better.
