Occupy 2.0: Moral Monday Charlotte

Posted on August 20, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

Moral Monday made it’s debut in Charlotte yesterday in Marshall Park. Funnily enough, that is the same park the Occupy Charlotte took over and were kicked out of.

Moral Monday Charlotte brought BluePrintNC back into view and solidified itself as another incarnation of Occupy. Crazy signs, crowd estimates that were all over the map and the dramatic rhetoric now typical of these events was employed.

Occupy 2.0: Santa Fe Edition

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Liberty Speaks

Santa Fe, New Mexico is what some would call the “Jewel of the Southwest” culture. It boasts some of the best art galleries, restaurants, and historical sites dating back some 300 years. However, over the past couple decades its culture changed from historic “Old Town” allure to the more “Aspen like resort” washing itself with a liberal vibe and a massive influx of money that ultimately has changed its landscape. Its highlights are the homes of some of the elite of Hollywood and recently was voted the 5th most Snobby city in the nation, San Fransisco being number one.

The northern city in the “Land of Enchantment” also has another notch it can count on its belt. The posh, southwestern cultural Santa Fe has its own Occupy group. This encampment began out of solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and, as with all the off shoots of the original OWS, Occupy Santa Fe protested big banks, big oil, and big money. Occupy Santa Fe think that Bradley manning is a Hero to the cause, Monsanto will destroy the world and anything with the word Nuclear is evil. Like Occupy Wall Street, they also protested on the raising the minimum wage in the city. Continue reading →

About That Non-Partisan Advocate For Clean Elections…

Posted on August 17, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

Have you heard? The NC Voter ID bill (HB 589) is voter suppression! Yeah, ‘suppression’ and/or ‘regressive’ is the new ‘racist’.

Why is it ‘suppression? Because ‘non-partisan advocate for clean elections’ Bob Hall of Democracy NC says so:

Voter Fraud IS Voter Suppression

Posted on August 15, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

Today’s article from WWNC’s Pete Kaliner rebutting Voter ID talking points from Democrats and the Left was a thing of beauty. In a nutshell: Succinct.

It would be hard to pick a favorite part, but this might be it:

CLAIM: “Ok, so there’s ONE case. But it’s not widespread.”

RESPONSE: We actually have no idea how widespread it is. The story I posted above is from October 2012. However, the attempted fraud occurred a year prior. Look how long it took to investigate and prosecute a case involving an elected official in a race decided by three votes. Simply put, resources are not devoted to investigating and prosecuting voter fraud. It’s hard to find what you’re not even looking for.

This is the same argument I made against WRAL and their use of Moral Monday arrestees as proof the crowds were made of in-state residents. We now know that clearly was not the case, but the argument is convenient and tidy. Continue reading →

About That ‘Dox’ Attempt…

Posted on August 15, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

For those of you just tuning in, there was a failed dox attempt on me by a group calling themselves the #NCBlondes or at times #Nonblondes. They fancy themselves as a Democratic candidate recruiting team who frequent the #NCGA and #NCPOL hashtags. Continue reading →
