NC Dems Officially Endorse Occupy Monday

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

Reverend Barber is officially the leader of the NC Democrat Party now. The NC Democrats made an official resolution to support Moral Monday rallies. I am sure the few remaining centrists within the NC Dem party are thrilled. The more irrelevant they become, the more irrelevant and extremist they make themselves. I’m reminded of a quote:

“If you think shrinking government and getting it less involved in your life is a hallmark of tyranny it is only because you are either grotesquely ignorant or because you subscribe to a statist ideology that believes the expansion of the state is the expansion of liberty.”
― Jonah Goldberg

Via NC GOP: Continue reading →

Occupy Monday Agenda Would Cost $7 Billion To Fund

Posted on June 10, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

The Occupy Monday movement led by Defacto leader of the NC Democrats have been making a lot of demands. Bigger government intrusion, more spending, and desires for items without a thought to the budget North Carolina has to work with.

Barber describes these demands as his “Five Point Moral Framework”. Don’t be drinking anything when you read the list below.

Secure pro-labor, anti-poverty policies that ensure economic sustainability
Provide well-funded public education for all
Promote healthcare for all, including affordable access, the expansion of Medicaid, women’s health and environmental justice in every community
Address the inequalities in the criminal justice system and ensure equality under the law for every person regardless of race, class, creed, documentation or sexual preference
Protect and expand voting rights, immigrant rights, women’s rights, LGBT rights and equal protection under the law
In a nutshell, the same demands made by Occupy Wall Street. Broad and vague with absolutely no specifics. That is a feature, not a bug in the design.

Rev. Barber’s demands would effectively erase all strides made to close the budget shortfall left behind by former Goveror Perdue. The demands add up to roughly $7 billion according to Senator Phil Berger’s office. See the statement to the press below: Continue reading →

Occupy Monday 6/9/14 Edition: Kids as Props

Posted on June 9, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

It’s Monday. Time to Occupy again.

This week it’s about Education. Specifically it looks like they are targeting school choice. Ironically, the same vouchers Occupy Monday are complaining about are specifically for low income students — the very people they claim to be protesting for.

The NC NAACP wasted no time in using kids as props for their flyer. This includes the Defacto Leader of the NC Democrats posing with a child with special needs to promote his agenda: Continue reading →

Young Marxist Thrilled Parents Arrested At Moral Monday

Posted on June 9, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

I’ve been providing proof for a while that ‘Moral Monday’ is indeed, far Left with direct ties to communist groups and unions. Nice to see it so out and in your face lately. From the article, Communist Day in New Haven, we find a reference to Occupy Monday. Laurie Kennington is a Marxist and member of the Young Communist League. She was thrilled her parents were arrested at Occupy Monday in North Carolina.

Her parents are Elizabeth and Gregory Kennington who were arrested on June 3rd, 2013. You can look it up for yourself. Related articles: #MeltdownMonday – June 3rd Edition Arrests and #MeltdownMonday – June 3rd Edition

Emphasis added below is mine.

Rounding out the trio was Yale’s Laurie Kennington, who praised the work of a local group called New Elm City Dream and of the Young Communist League for their “commitment to fight unemployment.”
In truth, the Young Communist League has long been committed to more than just jobs. In the 1930s, it refused to waver one inch from the Stalinist party line. The young American Bolsheviks in the YCL were completely subservient to the Soviet Union. At the Seventh World Congress in Moscow in 1935, smack in the middle of Stalin’s famines and mass purges, the Communist International described “the Young Communist League of the United States” as “a great success.” Continue reading →

#DM7 Article: Far Left NC Dem Protests Return

Posted on June 1, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

This is a reposting of my weekly DaTechGuy column: Far Left NC Dem Protests Return

———————————————

By A.P. Dillon

When I began writing here at DaTechGuy, I opened with a series of articles that laid out the landscape of the Left in North Carolina called “A Primer on The Left In NC”. You can read parts two, three and four. One of the main characters in that series is Reverend William Barber of the NC NAACP. He began a series of protests called “Moral Monday”, which in 2013 led to nearly 900 arrests at the NC General Assembly.

The list of complaints by this ‘movement’ are what one might expect — demands for more big government, more spending, more Medicaid, opposing the very popular Voter ID law and a sustained assault on the Republican leadership in the state through a strategy calling for activists to “cripple, eviscerat, pressure and slam” them. Moral Monday desperately wants to emulate the protests in Wisconsin, but to date have yet to do much besides become the punchline to local jokes. Continue reading →

Occupy Monday Sit-In Arrestees Not Allowed Back

Posted on May 31, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

The 14 people arrested at the first Occupy Monday at the NC General Assembly are not going to be allowed back into the legislature building until after July 11th. The press and the NC NAACP keep calling this group the “Tillis 15”, but only 14 were arrested. Is Barber is counting himself as the 15th or is he doing Common Core math?

According to documents held by Wake County Clerk of Superior Court, the 15 fast food workers and pastors who were arrested for nonviolent civil disobedience in Thom Tillis’s office earlier this week are not allowed back at the General Assembly until July 11th, after Moral Monday is over.
