This is the biggest bunch of OPPOSITE-SPEAK I have ever read. I can't believe people who put women down and hate abortion as they do would have a woman say such. Barbara Bush is the ONLY Republican Woman to tell the "woman haters of Conservatism" to stick it where the sun don't shine.

Recent comments from Rev. William Barber, self-appointed spokesman for the “Moral Monday” protests and leader of the NC state chapter of the NAACP, confirm that his vision for society endorses an aggressive use of violence against innocent individuals, and seeks to negate morality itself.

In a free society, the right to express one's political views without governmental restraint or reprisal ought to be sacrosanct. Unfortunately, it isn't.

"You get what you pay for" goes one popular old adage. And in North Carolina, it appears that we had for some time been paying to secure one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation. But lo and behold, when you stop paying people not to work, more people actually go back to work.
