Rev. Barber Afraid To Lunch Alone… Wah.

Posted on May 17, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

In the continued effort to ‘cripple and eviscerate’, no stone is being left unturned by the Reverend Barber and NC NAACP. Not even lunch.

The food fight is on! Reverend Barber claims he wasn’t really firmly invited. Barber insisted that if his entourage can’t come, then forget it. Apparently he’s afraid to go eat alone?

“I said it might be possible if I could bring other clergy leaders from the Forward Together Movement with me,” Barber said in a statement. Continue reading →

OH NOES! Defacto Leader of the NC Dems Missed A Meal!

Posted on May 16, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

I almost hurt my eyes due to rolling them so hard (email in the second half of the article). Reverend Barber missed a meal apparently and it’s all McCrory’s fault.. or something. Barber claims he wants to engage in discussion? Let’s look at what that really means.

Injunction On NC Opportunity Scholarships Lifted

Posted on May 15, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

In case you missed it, yesterday the injunction on the NC Opportunity Scholarships program imposed by Superior Court Judge Robert Hobgood was lifted. Low-income families now have an opportunity to send their children to private schools. The Opportunity Scholarships program had a base amount to start with of $10 million, which would only cover 2,400 of students to start. It’s worth noting that the program is so popular, they had to hold a lottery. Not everyone thinks assisting low-income students is the right thing to do. For example, the NC Association of Educators (NCAE):

“We feel that the program is not only unconstitutional but is also a reckless use of money,” – Mark Jewell NC Association of Educators via News and Observer 5/14/15

Wait..Serving low-income students is a reckless use of money? Gee, tell me more about how your serving the best interest of the NCAE children? Continue reading →

Moral Monday Protester Arrested Again

Posted on May 14, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Actions have consequences. Reverend Mendez’s consequences for skipping his Occupy Monday arrest court date got him arrested again and released later on $1,000 bond. Mendez was arrested on the April 28th Occupy Monday. Further down in the article, Mendez claimed he didn’t know about the court date. Really? Maybe he was too busy prepping for and giving the keynote speech at the Black Workers For Justice banquet. Continue reading →

It’s All About The Fame For Barber

Posted on May 13, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

News and Record wins the spit-take of the morning award today.

The Rev. William J. Barber II got a call recently from a cruise organizer for The Nation, the 149-year-old weekly magazine with a deep left-leaning fan base.

The caller wanted to know whether Barber, the leader of North Carolina’s NAACP chapter, could spend a week in December cruising the eastern Caribbean as a part of a panel that included Nation publishers, writers and editors, big thinkers and celebrities such as film director Oliver Stone.
