**Written by Lt. Governor Dan Forest regarding pending legislation allowing for illegal aliens to receive NC issued drivers licenses: Our nation was founded on the principal of “rule of law” meaning that people are responsible for their actions and the consequences that follow. In a civil society, it is necessary to not reward illegal behavior […]
Both Nationally and right here in North Carolina, it seems the only thing separating the Rs from the Ds is gay rights and abortion. They both want to use tax policy to control the population, they both want to screw the little guy in favor of the Banks and other large corporations, they both wantonly […]
The good folks over at PunditHouse.com posted audio last week covering the debate on HOT Lanes from the previous Sunday’s NCGOP Executive Committee meeting.

The current GOP platform states: We oppose government-sanctioned tracking of […]
Politics is a numbers game – always has been, always will be. But the numbers behind the politics of widening I-77 are not just the ones you read about in the papers. They aren’t just about spending over $500,000,000 dollars to add lanes to less than 30 miles of road. It’s not just the 20, […]
*This post is courtesy of Jordon Greene Something to remember this coming week at the NCGOP Convention when electing a Vice-Chairman.
