Libtards Lament Deep Red, North Carolina



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.
