Simple answer: the GOP and their owners have been pushing BE SCARED for a century. They lost their big bugaboo when the USSR collapsed, but 9/11 was *more* than everything they wanted. So they, with overwhelming help from Faux and Limberger, have been screaming BE AFWAID, BE VEWWY AFWAID for over 15 years... so they are.
"Home of the brave and land of the free" is biggest bullshit ever. Home of the cowards and land of the terrified is more like it.
What a strange coincidence the the N.C. GOP waited until after a Democrat won the Governor's race to reduce the power of the Governor and give some of it to themselves in the state house.
Article in the NYT, that the Dem winner is threatening to sue the state GOP. Also, that the Dems in the legislature were surprised by the extra special session.
Aye, little Jimmy O 'Crat. Knew him well
No brad, no floorshow

Oh Looky! A new post to discuss this weekend.
How is Mars Hill doing these days?
I'm white and feel the same way when I travel to certain places. (I live in an awesome blue state.)

Remind me why North Carolina is the "good" Carolina.
Dallas Woodhouse is sleazy little ratfucker. He has Koch and ALEC tentacles so far into his orafices they are practically arm wrestling inside of him.
So true. Before the census my rep was a popular Democrat with a brain. Now my rep is a former Baptist minister who wants to bomb Mexico.
