Moron Mondays is the rage for all the libtards that infest North Carolina. Here is an op-ed by Thom Goolsby, a state senator, conveying to all, the freak show, that has infested Raleigh these past few weeks.
Several
hundred people – mostly white, angry, aged former hippies – appeared and
screeched into microphones, talked about solidarity and chanted diatribes. It
was “liberal theater” at its best. Just like having a honey bun and double
espresso for breakfast, the impact of it all left the participants jittery and
empty in the end.
Never
short on audacity, the Loony Left actually named their gathering “Moral
Monday.” Between the screaming, foot stomping and disjointed speeches, it
appeared more like “Moron Monday.” The gathering was supposed to influence
legislators. However, no one thought to bring out any senate or house member
from either party.
The
gathering was a field day for the Raleigh press corps who came out in large
numbers for the extravaganza. In a carefully orchestrated parade, photographers
and videographers walked backwards as Barber and his minions strolled into an
empty General Assembly Building to voice more complaints and engage in several
rounds of sing-along. Even more press showed up to document the
standard-bearers of liberalism who were politely arrested by General Assembly
Police and escorted away well before session started. These “brave souls” can
now claim hero status for all the courage they showed by standing up against
the Radical Right.
Where
were the protesters when the Democrats were bankrupting North Carolina? Just
three years ago, North Carolina was in a deep crisis. The treasury was empty,
with a multi-billion-dollar deficit. The state health care plan was bankrupt.
The state retirement plan was underfunded by hundreds of millions of dollars. A
multi-billion-dollar debt was owed to the federal government for money loaned
to the state during the Great Recession for unemployment benefits. On top of
everything, before getting roundly kicked out by the voters, Democrat leaders
managed to raise North Carolina’s taxes to the highest in the Southeast,
borrowing every dollar possible.
For over
140 years, Democrats had an almost total lock on power in Raleigh. It was not
until the 2010 elections that the GOP had ever controlled both chambers in the
General Assembly. Even then, they had to contend with Democrat Gov. Beverly
Perdue who fought every commonsense reform brought forward. The Republicans
finally consolidated their power with overwhelming wins in the 2012 election
season where they took the Governor’s office, as well as many more seats in the
NC House and Senate.
Once
ensconced in power, the pro-growth, commonsense Republicans went to work like
the business people they were. Government waste was cut, a billion-dollar tax
cut was enacted and the budget was balanced. The state’s retirement plan was
fully funded and the state health plan was made solvent. A responsible
repayment schedule was arranged with the federal government to pay off the
unemployment debt in record time. In other words, the sinking ship of this
state was righted.
You
might be wondering, “What is the left complaining about?” A better question is
“What are they not complaining about?” Apparently, even in the light of the
overwhelming GOP election victories, they believe that Republicans had no
mandate to fix what the Democrats broke. Somehow, the new leadership is
supposed to print money on a magical press and spend our way into prosperity.
Even
Democrat pollsters say these protests are hurting their party and its long-term
plan to recover power. Regular people, i.e. voters, tend to shy away from the
real radical fringe. Nonetheless, the old hippies have found a new hobby and
have once again fallen in love with the sound of their own voices. Too bad they
were not around to help when they were needed.
