NC Progress: The Demagogues of The Old North State



One thing you can count on is an avalanche of lies by liberals.  A group called NC Progress has been yelling through the snowcapped mountains about how unfair it is that associations and businesses have a say in the political process.  They believe “big money” is a corrupting influence, and that the American voter is too stupid to discern what is right and wrong.

 A common refrain by liberals is “corporations are not people.”  Well I disagree.  A corporation is made up of employees, managers, accountants, lawyers, shareholders, and board members.  These businesses also hire vendors and provide a valuable service to their customers.  All of whom are people.  So, corporations are people.




The progressives are also against associations.  They would have people like Art Pope and other like minded citizens excluded from the political process by denying them the right to fund political candidates to whom they are ideologically aligned.  The progressives want a publicly financed system; meaning, we conservatives would have to fund our political enemies against our will.  Against our will seems to be a common goal amongst these totalitarians.
   
You’ll notice a mantra,”one person, one vote.”  What in the hell is that supposed to mean?  Are they implying that a corporation is bellying up to the voting booth.  Of all the years of voting, I’ve never seen that happen, and neither have they.  How nonsensical is that?  It never ceases to amaze me how liberals can be duped by slogans.  I suggest the Progressives read the First Amendment, instead of bumper stickers.  They might learn something.

Liberals are masters at deception.  In the above video you’ll hear a demagogic mantra on H.B. 810.  The Progressives killed this bill by repeating the lie that North Carolina House Republicans were bribed into drafting this piece of legislation for special interest groups.  What they didn’t tell you is that a Democrat sponsored this bill, and that Project Vote Smart named three others who co-sponsored H.B. 810.  Here is video explaining the importance of and what happened to the Consumer Installment Lending Relief Bill.





When it comes to the rhetoric of Democrats, I believe we should employ the wisdom of Ronald Reagan:  ‘Trust but Verify.’ except I would dismiss the word “Trust.”


North Carolina Progressives Intolerant of the Tolerable




Progressives love to project their “tolerance.”  They’re so tolerant of others that they go out of their way to demonstrate it.  Here is a tolerable website showing how tolerable they are.

We won. Congress will not whitewash a legacy of division in North Carolina. Jesse Helms will NOT have his name on a federal courthouse in downtown Raleigh.

Over 8,200 of you signed the Progress North Carolina petition and your voices were heard. From all across this state, North Carolina residents weighed in, not just with your signature, but with your words.
Perhaps Jeanine Keeys of Zebulon said it most succinctly:

"Hate should not have a monument."

In the end, the Congressional committee in charge of re-naming bills listened to comments like that and adjourned without moving on the Helms legislation.



However, the bills were filed by Rep. Renee Ellmers and Sen. Richard Burr -- and they could do it again. That's why we are asking those who have not signed the petition to please do so now. We have also made it very easy for you to share this petition with your family and friends and would appreciate it if you passed it on to others.

Our goal is to gather more than 10,000 signatures.

We thank those of you who signed the petition. Defeating the bill was by no means assured, with some media outlets like National Public Radio reporting on our petition even saying that the re-naming bill was likely to pass.

Thank you for joining the effort to make sure Congress does not whitewash history. If you would like to support our efforts to make sure that does not happen in the future, you can donate online here.
Many thanks for your support and for taking a stand against intolerance.

I do believe North Carolinians have shown their “tolerance” of progressive ideals in the past two elections.  That is a victory worth noting.
