#MoralMarch Recap

Posted on February 8, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

So, the NC NAACP held their ‘grassroots’ Moral March – which was really just the annual HK on J (Historic Thousands on Jones St) with a bunch of groups bused in to make more noise. The main protest point, among the laundry list presented, was voter ID.

Posted on January 12, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

My Latest Magnificent Seven article is up at DaTechGuy: A Primer on the Left In NC (IV)

Last week we looked at Moral Monday in North Carolina and how it’s now spreading to neighboring states. I mentioned that was not a bug but a feature. In this installment, we’ll look at the union ties to Moral Monday, a quick look at a movement I’ve dubbed Occupy 2.0 and how the AFL-CIO’s “Organize the South or Die” campaign all figure into the mix.

My latest is up at DaTechGuy: A Primer on the Left in NC

Those of you who follow my personal blog might be acquainted with my mapping of the Left in North Carolina already. For those of you just getting to know me and my writing, you’re in for some fun and a little bit of catch-up. Back in May, I wrote about how the Democrats were melting down in North Carolina.

Leftist Groups Coordinate To Picket NC GOP Event

Posted on August 25, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

Hey, NC GOP… Heads up! Occupy Raleigh, the AFL-CIO and probably more are planning to picket your event on Tuesday. If you’re lucky, Code Pink’s Madea Benjamin might show up!

The AFL-CIO wants you to picket the NC GOP “Cashing-In on the “Decline of North Carolina”. Cute, using the NY Times piece as their title. The major problem with that NY Times piece is it assumes NC was ever Progressive or Blue. It wasn’t… EVER. Continue reading →
