This is nothing more than a smear campaign by a front group for the meat industry, which has long tried to make PETA and other animal protection groups look bad in an attempt to distract from the real issues. Unlike the industries this group represents--which kill animals painfully, so they can make money by selling their flesh--PETA is a shelter of last resort for animals who need euthanasia to end their suffering (many of whom have been rejected by other facilities because euthanizing them would make their “numbers” look bad). This includes dogs who are aggressive and unadoptable because they have been kept chained their entire lives; feral cats dying of contagious diseases; animals who are wracked with cancer; elderly animals who have no quality of life and whose desperate guardians brought them to PETA because they can’t afford to pay a vet to euthanize them; and the list goes on. Euthanasia is a kindness for animals who are suffering beyond hope and have nowhere else to turn. PETA refers healthy, adoptable animals to local shelters and has also found excellent, lifelong homes for many animals themselves. Please watch this short video to see some of the animals PETA has helped in its community: www.youtube.com.

I was not familiar with this story until I stumbled upon Westerby at the early voting site about a week out from the election and he turned his head away from the crowd, and said with a big grin on his face, "an Exocet Missile has been launched out here" Intrigued, I studied up on the battle, and quickly became hip to what was going on when the next time out there I saw the target babbling away on his cell phone as a couple of dozen voters walked right pass him. It reminded me how the air 'defence officer was talking on a satellite phone when the missile hit.

Well said. Well done. This article could serve as a guidebook for voters.

To start with let's take a look at the process of electing a U.S. Senator in North Carolina. Mr. Richardson is right. The process is increasingly being dominated by state party bosses. We've made it easier for them by allowing our primary threshold to be changed over the years from 50 percent to 40 percent to 30 percent. Every one of those changes should have been met with a public outcry that would have forced them to back down. But we didn't. Some of us muttered about it and many others of us just ignored it and weakly allowed it without complaint. People that respect democratic principles do not do or allow things like that.

The other matters mentioned in this article concerning party politics in the NC GOP at all levels are related and are equally important. The common theme in all of this is abuse of power. When institutions (made up of people) do not do their duty by protecting their own legitimate powers, we are allowing abuse. Where there is a vacuum, it will be filled. A healthy party would address this huge problem.

The marginalization and exclusion of grassroots rolls in the NC GOP corresponds with the lack of leadership icons being produced in our elections. I remember when we didn't have to hope for the best in many of our key races and settle for the better of the uninspired choices we are left with. That's certainly true in our U.S. Senate situation and some other situations. As things are now in our state, is another Jesse Helms or John East even possible in our party?

With the Democrats charging more and more into Democratic Socialism, this is not the time for a corrupt, bickering, and ineffective GOP.

A 45-year Cold War, and the end of the Soviet Union has not ended the argument for and against communism in the United States. While leftist groups continue to honor the communist holiday (May Day), the state of Florida has approved a new history of communism standards in their public schools. Back and forth we go.

The Florida standards emphasize how communist ideologies have historically suppressed individual freedoms, abused powers, and inflicted widespread suffering. The left-wing groups avoid direct dealings with both history and ideology. They focus on issues of pay, unionized collective bargaining, taxing "the rich," political redistricting, and non-enforcement of immigration law advocacy. They use an indirect approach that is ultimately very ideological.

I personally do not fear an honest debate of the subject in all arenas, including our public schools, as long as the conversation uses high scholastic standards. Methods used in political arguments should not be relied on in institutions of learning. Things that are true and proven enlighten in a way sophistry cannot duplicate.

You probably aren't aware of this. Monica was buried Today, Tuesday October 9th.
I would hate for a family member or friend see the missing notice, and have to relive the sad situation.

And that was very selfish thing to do. Punishing hard working dedicated students over some lazy unethical people. nOw I have to drive 25 min out of my way to attend college at another school because of this nonsense. So sad, when I have a college right down the road from me. But thank god I will not have to continue on this routine much longer since I will be graduating this year. Not everyone in this town has money or comes from money. Some of us are single mothers with children to support and have bills to pay. So thanks a lot bccc board for your thoughtless decision.

Obviously, there are uninformed voters that do not know the difference between conservatives and RINOs. I would suggest the reading of the republican party platform and then determine if County commissioners (republicans) vote according to the ethical, moral standards of the party. Jyst because a person is registered as a republican, does not mean he/she adheres to the party platform. The person suggesting that Commissioners Richardson and Deatherage are not conservative obviously do not k iw the meaning of CONSERVATIVE. I challenge everyone to attend a commissioners mtg. And listen to certain commissioners that are opposed to investigating the number of illegals in BC and the cost to the tax payers. And, speaking about commissioners with derision, that believe the border should be closed in order to control fentanyl and drug dealers should be put in jail as a means if curtailing substance abuse. I thought true republucans believed in border security and drug dealers going to jail.

This is an excellent article laying out the facts and outcomes depending on how the SCOTUS rules in this case. To be quite honest, I don't think they have what it takes to render a just decision in this case because they either don't understand the full ramifications of a ruling against the baker, or they are unwilling to put their own political activism and bias aside to advance an agenda that will challenge the truth. I say this because I listened to the Oral Argument and surprisingly the justices kept comparing race to homosexuality as if they are equal and that is false. One is an immutable trait and the other is behavioral. They kept making the mistake again and again. This is also a court that found a right to same sex marriage in the Constitution when it is not even remotely part of the Constitution. I think they want Christians to be just as deceived as they are but that is not going to happen. Christianity is all about the truth and The People must hold SCOTUS accountable to the truth if they try to force people to accept lies as truth. I think at least five of the justices should be impeached for lying to America.
