What's next? Confederate cleansing?
"Dear Brock -
This is my first transmission to you - but, hopefully not the last. I have been a Long Time Reader/Admirer of your freenorthcarolina.blogspot page and finally feel I have something worthy to pass your way. The text is attached as a word doc, but - if you prefer - here is the actual link .
I was born and reared in Roanoke, VA - about 15 miles or so from Boones Mill, VA - but I cannot say I know writer, Mr. John Cahoon. However, he is certainly Spot On with his comments - four years in advance - and it would be a great pleasure to cross his path, just as it would Yours. Though a Virginian by Birth, I have been in North Carolina since matriculating to the Dark Blue Durham School in 1972 - a school which would, today, shun the likes of me (the feeling is mutual, by the way ... see attached).
I thought you would appreciate Mr. Cahoon's writing from 2011 and I hope you are able to give it proper distribution with your popular website. More importantly, I wanted you to know with certainty that there are - indeed - those of us Out There who are watching, waiting, and standing by ...
Please continue to Keep Up Your Good Work and, when time and energy permit, let me know how I might be of assistance.
Very Respectfully,

Dear Rick,
Thank you for your kind words, Sir and we shall continue the fight until we cross over the river.

The Lexington City Council, currently under court
injunction for previous civil rights violations against its own
residents, has courageously resurrected what appears to be massive
resistance and embarked on a campaign of Confederate ethnic cleansing in
order to preserve the Southern way of life based upon viewpoint
segregation. Thank goodness.
If not, council members would have to endure the integration of different viewpoints within their closed, progressive community and be forced to acknowledge as equals those who wish to honor the Confederate soldier by displaying the Confederate flag one day of the year.
In a previous narrow escape from having to embrace tolerance, inclusiveness and free speech, Lexington fended off an attempt to locate the onerous Museum of the Confederacy within their community. This would have been a calamity since their community would have been exposed to undesirable and contrary viewpoints. Certainly the tourist dollars and resulting jobs were inconsequential to the wealthy elitists and were not needed by Lexington's unemployed blacks and whites.

Strange how paranoia can link up with reality now and then.” ― Philip K. Dick, A Scanner Darkly
Strange how paranoia can link up with reality now and then.” ― Philip K. Dick, A Scanner Darkly
Once upon a time, there was a nation of people who believed everything they were told by their government.
When
terrorists attacked the country, and government officials claimed to
have been caught by surprise, the people believed them. And when the
government passed massive laws aimed at locking down the nation and
opening the door to total government surveillance, the people believed
it was done merely to keep them safe. The few who disagreed were labeled
traitors.
When
the government waged costly preemptive wars on foreign countries,
insisting it was necessary to protect the nation, the citizens believed
it. And when the government brought the weapons and tactics of war home
to use against the populace, claiming it was just a way to recycle old
equipment, the people believed that too. The few who disagreed were
labeled unpatriotic.

Why Frédéric Bastiat Still Matters
Some freebies above.
Yesterday marked the 214th anniversary of Frédéric
Bastiat’s birthday on June 30, 1801, in Bayonne, France. One of the
seminal thinkers of the classical liberal tradition, Bastiat made great
contributions to the field of political economy, laying many of the
foundations for the later school of Austrian economics. Both a
politician and a writer, Bastiat penned numerous books and essays on
political economy and how its principles could be applied to mid-19th
century France, writing with his razor-sharp wit and renowned
rhetorical flair. While his works pertain to post-Napoleonic France,
they carry important lessons for our nation’s leaders, politicians, and
economists.

Honoring our Forefathers: The heritage of the South, symbolized by the Confederate Battle Flag, is so important to many
Via LH
Like nearly all South Carolinians, I was deeply saddened upon learning of the senseless murders at the Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C. At the time, I was serving (military duties) outside the state when I also learned one of the slain was related to a fellow soldier.
I continue to pray for the families. Their Christian witness after the tragedy impacted us all.
For the sake of respect for the victims and their families, I did not believe it appropriate to write an article in response to the Confederate flag issue in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy; not during the period for mourning. I had to pray about timing, as I wanted nothing I said to detract from the care of the families. However, now that we have had an opportunity to grieve (and with the recent U.S. Supreme Court gay marriage decision undermining states’ 10th Amendment powers), I feel compelled to offer a contrasting view about the Confederate Battle Flag.

Independent Institute: Love Gov Video Series Satirizes Intrusive Government
The United States just celebrated 239 years of independence from England, but have Americans become too dependent on Washington, D.C.? And what does it mean—in human terms—when we say that the federal government has become too involved in the lives of young adults? Rather than address the question with numbers and graphs, we thought it would be more memorable (and entertaining) to tell you the story of Alexis Smith—an idealistic college student who falls for Scott “Gov” Govinsky in Love Gov, a satirical video series from Independent Institute that we’ve just released on YouTube.
Each of the series’ five episodes follows Alexis’s relationship with Gov, a confident young man whose “good intentions” wreak (comic) havoc on her life. Watch Alexis as she deals with excessive student debt, costly housing, underemployment, bureaucratic healthcare, and more. Alexis’s loyal friend Libby tries to help her see Gov for what he really is—a menace. But will Alexis come to her senses in time? Tune in to find out!
“Love Gov is a way to help anyone, especially Millennials, understand the federal government’s ever-expanding reach into personal lives,” says David J. Theroux, founder and president of Independent Institute. “It’s a lighthearted approach to reach audiences on a personal level, and inspire them to learn more and take action.”
The Love Gov video series also connects with the updated MyGovCost mobile app, a tool that helps users estimate their lifetime federal tax liability, their contribution to 17 federal spending categories, and the amount of money they would have accumulated if they had invested the money they paid to the U.S. Treasury and earned a modest six percent return.
Mississippi flag supporters rally outside state Capitol
Via Billy
The Confederate battle emblem should remain on the Mississippi flag because it honors ancestors who fought for the South in the Civil War, a brother of former Gov. Haley Barbour told about 40 supporters of the state banner at a rally Monday outside the state Capitol.
“They were fighting for the freedom of the South not to get bossed around by a bunch of Yankees,” Jeppie Barbour told reporters after he spoke on the Capitol steps.

Illegal alien Francisco Sanchez coached to say he feels sorry for murdering Kate Steinle at San Francisco pier
Via comment by Anonymous on A Muslim Beats a Dutch Girl in Holland
MUST WATCH! (ACTUAL SPANISH DOES NOT MATCH ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY TV NEWS)
From Eric Dondero:
Headlines in San Francisco media, and even across the country this morning, that the killer of Kate Steinle feels regret over shooting her while she was walking with her Dad on SF's famed Pier 14 last week. But pay careful attention to the video interview in the jail cell.(Relevant portion starts at the 17 minute mark. The precise moment is at the 18 minute mark - listen to how the the interpreter asks him "te sientes mal"? Do you feel bad? His response of "No" - shaking his head from side-to-side is crystal clear. )
