North Carolina was supposed to be the crown jewel
for the national Democratic Party. Their
aspiration to make inroads into the South seemed promising when Obama won the
Old North state in 2008. They thought
North Carolina was going to become a Northeastern outpost. But what was once considered purple turned deep
red. Now the teat squawkers are
screaming about the state’s legislative session. Here is an excerpt from the New York Times:
But with Republicans
controlling all branches of the state government for the first time in more
than a century, the legislature pushed through a wide range of conservative
change. The Republicans not only cut taxes and business regulations, as many
had expected, but also allowed stricter regulations on abortion clinics, ended
teacher tenure, blocked the expansion of Medicaid, cut unemployment benefits,
removed obstacles to the death penalty, allowed concealed guns in bars and
restaurants, and mandated the teaching of cursive writing.
Just this
week, Mr. McCrory signed into law strict voter identification requirements,
prohibiting same-day registration and cutting early voting. “Many of those from
the extreme left who have been criticizing photo ID are using scare tactics,”
he said in a video on his Web site. “They’re more
interested in divisive politics than ensuring that no one’s vote is
disenfranchised by a fraudulent ballot.”
Lawsuits have
been filed — including one on Monday by the N.A.A.C.P. — and protests are
taking place almost weekly in Raleigh, the capital, and other cities, leaving
North Carolinians across the political spectrum worried that the state’s
often-hailed political pragmatism may have given way to the ideological warfare
of Washington.
“This is a
definite break from what I would consider normal behavior for North Carolina,”
said David French, 27, who is looking for a job in industrial design here in
rural Rockingham County. “The whole political system nowadays is becoming more
extreme.”
I find it strange that people consider what the
Democrats are doing as “normal behavior.”
And as far as North Carolina, I believe the people had enough of the
corruption and bad policies that have put this state and its citizens in
financial straits. Here is a
pontification of another clueless libtard :
“It shocked everybody,” said Sam Hummel, a
76-year-old retired investment adviser who was arrested last month in Raleigh
wearing an Uncle Sam costume and taking part in the protests that have come to
be known as “Moral Mondays.”
This guy was shocked? Well, it was no surprise to those of us who
were paying attention. The past two
election cycles are a direct response to the policies of the Progressives. Gov. Pat McCrory and the Republican
controlled General Assembly are reinstituting values that ensures the integrity
of a republican form of government:
fiscal responsibility, accountability, and restoring confidence in the
electoral process. Values that Democrats
are determined to undermine.
