"Speaking on NC talk radio yesterday, Charlotte mayor and Republican gubernatorial nominee Pat McCrory praised DC’s ongoing war on terror and former New York City Mayor Rudy Guliani for his heroism on and after September 11, 2001. This was in response to yet another report that Osama bin Laden had been killed, though many believe this is media hype designed to promote Obama bin Barack’s “tough guy against terrorism” profile and distract attention from Donald Trump’s questions about his being US born. It sounds like McCrory would not ask serious constitutional questions about an undeclared war against undetermined and ill-defined assailants, and would toe the national GOP line.
Abundant questions exist about how different North Carolina politics would be under a Republican governor rather than our usual Democratic governor: e.g., would a Republican governor promote North Carolina interests over national, would he/she support stringent immigration laws like Arizona, and would we see an end to the endless scandals and corruption typical of Democratic administrations?
This timely topic will be one of many about North Carolina’s political landscape at the Spring Conference detailed below, please plan to attend and join in the spirited and always revealing discussion!

North Carolina LS Spring 2011 Conference
“Under Washington’s Control: The New North State”
Burlington, North Carolina (note venue change below)
Speakers Dr. Tom Minsel, Carlton Huffman and Alexander McAllister Cheek
Regardless of the downward spiral of the national economy, incessant wars and rampant political corruption, the government of North Carolina remains our primary concern. And as the expected devolution increases speed, how do we return to the responsible, frugal and honest governing principles of the great North Carolinian Nathaniel Macon? How do we encourage our elected representatives to emulate the best statesmen of our past?
Our Spring 2011 Conference focuses on North Carolina’s economic and social dependency on the DC-centered regime, and how our State Legislature must return to the view that North Carolina’s primacy and sovereignty is supreme. Speaking in tandem on “The Welfare-Warfare State: Nathaniel Macon’s Worst Nightmare” will be Alexander M. Cheek and Nathaniel Macon Institute Director Dr. Tom Minsel. Also with us will be former Legislative Aide and NC LS member Carlton Huffman will discuss the North Carolina Legislature, its current activities, and new Republican party control. Please join us for an interesting, informative and interactive day of learning and dialogue with North Carolinians concerned about our State’s political future.
The Spring Conference will be May 28th, 11AM-3PM in the Allred Banquet Room of the K&W Restaurant, I-40/85 Exit 143 in Burlington.
Please monitor our State website regularly for further information and final speaker lineup. Admission is $10 per person; $15 per married couple.
Members expected, guests are very welcome!
