Editor’s note: This post originated on the Facebook page of Mark Gibbons, activist and member of Lake Norman Conservatives. Last fall saw a very energetic election cycle in North Mecklenburg. One issue seemed to dominate the talk, the signs, and the internet, HOT lanes. Sadly, instead of uniting conservatives / Republicans against a big government […]
Excuse the anonymity. I’ll make an excuse: if I use my name, specific people might be taken to task and that is not my purpose. My purpose is to point out the failures of a system which is protected by government from competition. Recently I had occasion to go to the hospital for some corrective […]
*Editor’s Note: Looks like incentive deals aren’t a problem limited to Charlotte. Our friends in Greensboro are experiencing similar misuse of government as outlined here by C4CG Co-founder Jodi Riddleberger. Several years ago, during a church meeting, the pastor made a random remark about “prison time.” One man, who was seated across the room, let out […]
It got cold. Darn, it’s winter again. I remember back in the 80’s when it stayed below freezing for 30 days. The ice on my pond in Mecklenburg County was 14” thick. Today people whine because it got cold. Actually they whine because that is what they do. A nation of whiners, who elected a […]
*Editor’s note: This is from our Friends at Grassroots North Carolina: In a “Friday media dump” designed to conceal its actions by releasing them after the press has left town, the Obama administration last week announced its intention to push two regulations which would massively expand the federal gun bans imposed on Americans. “SEE A […]
On Monday, Dr. Greg Brannon, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, handily won a key straw poll in the U.S. Senate primary at a candidate forum held in Guilford County, a county which has the third largest number of registered Republicans in the state. The Senate candidate forum, hosted by Conservatives for Guilford County, was attended by nearly 300 […]
Christmas was postponed indefinitely last month for the Voter Integrity Project after the NAACP served an expansive subpoena for the records of VIP on Friday, December 20, 2013. “We won’t take this bullying lightly, but do marvel at their hypocrisy,” said Jay DeLancy, Chief Executive of the Voter Integrity Project-NC. “It looks like they’re employing […]
On Tuesday, January 7th, the NC-GOP Executive Committee of the 31st district (Forsyth and Yadkin counties) will hold a special election for a suggested Republican Party candidate to fill the now-open seat of NC Sen. Pete Brunstetter. In a statement released today, pro-Constitution executive committee member Mitchel Farris has declared his candidacy intent. The letter […]
North Carolinians should be allowed to purchase alcohol at the grocery store before noon on Sunday. You can’t, however, because of the state’s “Sunday Closing Laws” outlined in N.C. General Statute 18B-1004(c) which states, “It shall be unlawful to sell or consume alcoholic beverages on any licensed premises from the time at which sale or consumption must […]
Thanks to North Carolina Senate Candidate Dr. Greg Brannon recently acquiring frontrunner status among the Republican candidates gunning for Senator Kay Hagen’s seat in 2014, left wing media outlets have predictably started with their attacks. Among the attacks levied against Brannon, one that is likely to reoccur throughout his candidacy is his stance on nullification. […]
