He Who Controls The Data, Controls The People?

Posted on November 19, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

Stalin is quoted as once saying something along the lines of, “It doesn’t matter who votes. What matters is who counts the votes.” Well, if you can get your propaganda into the heads actual voters before they vote, same difference right?

Looks like a lot of folks might owe Jack Welch and apology.

Over at Instapundit, Professor Reynolds has posted an article from the NY Post titled, ‘Census ‘faked’ 2012 jobs report. The excerpt he posts is this, emphasis is mine:

In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.

The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated.

And the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it. Continue reading →

Bombs Away, Just #Askkay

Posted on November 13, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

As Obamacare unfolds, Kay Hagan’s approval rating is bombing. Left leaning Public Policy Polling has the horror on display: November PPP Poll (September PPP Poll) Hagan 43% (52%) Brannon 44% (36%) Hagan 44% (51%) Tillis 42% (36%) Hagan 43% (50%) … Continue reading →

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 →
