UPDATED – Pisgah Inn Owner Tells Beck: I’m Closed, But Blue Ridge Parkway Is Open

Posted on October 9, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

Two days ago, I wrote about the Pisgah Inn being closed down by the Park Service per orders from this administration. The owner, Bruce O’Connell, was interviewed by Glenn Beck at The Blaze about the incident. Watch:

“I’ve got 90 employees. These are the ones that I think President Obama was elected to help. These 90 employees — 50 of them live up there on the property and through no fault of their own they’ve lost their jobs and 50 of them have lost their housing.” Continue reading →

#HarryReidsShutDown Closes Private NC Business Because… PAIN.

Posted on October 7, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

This Administration has jumped the shark with its attempt to bring pain during the shut down. These ‘painful’ shut downs are similar to the farcical attempts at drama made by this administration and Democrats during Obama’s Sequester. We’ve heard from all sorts of politicans in NC on the shut down except one:

It’s been 5 days since @SenKayHagan’s last tweet. She wants to keep her head down as #Obamacare implodes during Obama/Reid #Shutdown. #NCSen

Breitbart has a nice list of some of the things being dramatically shut down by the administration which include blocking out sports events for our overseas troops and attempting to close privately funded Mt. Vernon. Here are some of the others you may not have seen, courtesy of ConMom: Continue reading →

What If NC AFL-CIO Threw A Picket And No One Came?

Posted on August 30, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

Well, T.G.I.F everyone!

We made it though this crazy week of pickets, marches and strikes. Speaking of pickets… This past Sunday I wrote about the upcoming ‘Picket Posh House GOP Fundraiser’ event set up and promoted by the NC AFL-CIO. The picketing went on this past Tuesday. No local media covered it. I even forgot about it until today. On Sunday, I speculated they might have protest fatigue — you know, all the Moral Monday-ing and all, and it looks like perhaps that speculation was right.

Poor sacks. Had to picket waaaaaaay down the entrance road and out on the opposite sidewalk to the Carolina Country Club. Continue reading →

Video Of That ‘Non-Partisan Advocate For Clean Elections’

Posted on August 29, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

On the 17th, I wrote about Bob Hall of Democracy NC being touted as a ‘Non-Partisan Advocate for Clean Elections’. I included a tweet from Moral Monday held on July 8th in that article.

Now I have the video to go with that quote, courtesy of NC Renegade: Continue reading →

NC NAACP Sets Up Voter ID Misinformation Line; NC PolicyWatch Promotes

Posted on August 24, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

Foward Together and Not One Step Back!

The NC NAACP has set up a voter ID concern ‘hotline’ to handle calls about the racism voter suppression here in North Carolina contained in HB 589. The NC NAACP’s propaganda and BluePrint NC pals, NC PolicyWatch, were all too happy to promote it:

He also announced along with NAACP attorney Jamie Phillips that the NAACP had established a new toll-free hotline that North Carolinians can call with concerns about voting and voting rights. The number is 1-855-664-3487 (i.e. 1-855-NO ID 4 US). Phillips said the number would be staffed with live NAACP members who would connect callers and/or relay their concerns to voting rights experts.

“Voting rights experts.” Do they mean like Rachel Maddow? Continue reading →
