"...people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil" - John 3:19 ....... A forum by, for and about Beaufort County, NC.---Speaking Truth To Power---We seek to be Right, not balanced--- "Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right...to knowledge, as their great Creator...has given them understandings, and a desire to know, but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge; I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers"--John Adams, Dissertation on Canon and Fedual Law, 1765.Spacer

November 3: A choice of two Americas

August 31, 2020 | 08:09 PM

The Making of America
This section contains the previous Liberty Belle articles on The Making of America. They are based on the book by that name by Cleon Skousen which showed how and why America made more human progress in 200 years than had been made in the previous 5000 years of human existence. That is the Miracle of America. Dr. Skousen shows how this miracle can be lost if we fail to adhere to the 28 Principles of Freedom our Founding Fathers said must be understood and perpetuated by every generation that desires peace, prosperity, and freedom. Nancy Murdock (Liberty Belle) teaches a seminar on the book and you can take it by contacting her at: nancyccta@hotmail.com.

Beaufort County has been plagued for over a decade by bad decisions made by our County Commission. The articles archived in this section document what we call "The Beaufort County Way". Not because it has not produced success as did the "Carolina Way" but because it is a way to focus on many bad decisions over a long period of time.
