Governor Matt Bevin lost the Southern heritage vote, which probably cost him reelection, by taking down a statue of Kentucky native son Jefferson Davis on the Capitol grounds. That made him part of the cancel culture against Southern history. Southern heritage organizations actively urged their supporters to vote for a third party candidate when Bevin ran for reelection. Bevin moved to Kentucky from elsewhere and was tone deaf to local concerns. His reelection defeat was self inflicted.

Here in North Carolina, we have a very similar politician, Pat McCrory who moved here from the north and also made a major cancel culture move against southern heritage as governor. That is one of many blunders that make McCrory the least electable of the three major GOP US Senate candidates. While McCrory lost a bunch of Southern heritage voters in his reelection, other blunders cost him even bigger chunks of the GOP base.

The back story on the "poster boy" for the alleged threats to school boards is a chilling tale, but not against him. It was on Glenn Beck's radio program this morning. This was the guy hauled out of the Loudon County School Board in handcuffs.

What happened was his daughter had been raped in a school bathroom by a boy who sometimes wore a dress to school and said he was "transgender". When he went to the school, the school personnel called the police on HIM not the rapist. He went to the hospital with his daughter, got the rape kit done which substantiated the rape. However, the school system went into full cover up mode. He attended the school board meeting, was at the microphone about to blow the whistle on what happened to his daughter due to their insane bathroom policies when a leftwing activist came up and made a derogatory statement about his daughter. As many parents would in that situation, he went off on the leftwing activist. That gave the rotten school board an opportunity to have him hauled out in handcuffs and spread that all over the media.

ANY school board that allows boys in the girls bathrooms or shower rooms is putting girls in danger. Such school boards need to be voted out of office. And the pro-pedophile Biden regime needs to be thrown out of office.

It is also telling that the leader of the campaign that got Mecklenburg County, NC to adopt the bathroom ordinance requiring letting men in womens restrooms was himself a convicted child molester.

Leftwing Campbell is little more than a Roy Cooper cheerleader, and the apparent token liberal on this site. He does not get the real problem with all "committee substitutes" of HB951. By surrendering to the climate alarmists and prematurely closing coal fired power plants, they will send our electric rates into the stratosphere. Wind and solar are expensive and unreliable. Cooper's extremism will cost NC ratepayers dearly if he gets away with it, and sadly, surrender monkey Phil Berger (or should it be Thunberger) looks like he will cave in to Cooper on this environmental extremism.

Hopefully parents will sue these idiots on the school board to stop the unnecessary and useless mask mandates in the schools. Parents in Wake County are already doing so:

How about letting Dementia Joe go first? He needs to agree to voluntarily disarm his own Secret Service detail before he starts calling to take away anyone else's guns.

Gingrich is spot on as to the Democrat power grab being an existential threat to our democracy, but Hoff's demonization of the South is way off base. Why do a few conservative writers always seem to parrot the left's attacks on the South? Hoff's statement above is simply false. Maybe Hoff should read the 1860 Republican Party platform. It did NOT call for abolition of slavery in the states where it existed. It only called for keeping slavery out of US territories. Maybe he should read Lincoln's first Inaugural Address in which he stated clearly that he did not intend to seek abolition of slavery in the states where it then existed, and further he endorsed ratification of the Corwin Amendment that would have enshrined slavery in the US Constitution and made it impossible to abolish from the national level. Or he should read Lincoln's letter to the editor of a New York newspaper in 1862 in which he said that his sole goal in the War Between the States was to preserve the union, and whatever position he may end up taking on slavery would be determined by what he thought could best accomplish that end. Or maybe Hoff should read Jefferson Davis' letter to his wife Varina after he resigned from the US Senate in 1861 in which Davis states that slavery was "a doomed institution" and that the secession of the southern states would hasten its end whether or not they were successful in sustaining their independence. Or he should read the comments of British anti-slavery leader Charles Dickens, the famous novelist, who described the north's contention to be fighting against slavery as "specious humbug designed to disguise the north's desire for economic control of the southern states". Most importantly, he should read Sir Winston Churchill's chapter on the causes of the war in his book "The Great Republic", a history of the US. Churchill attributes the principle cause of the war to a final rupture of a longstanding tension between two competing concepts of government, the concept of a powerful central government espoused originally by Alexander Hamilton, and represented in the 1860s by the north, and the concept of limited government espoused originally by Thomas Jefferson and represented in the 1860s by the South. While the most important positive outcome of the war was the end of slavery, the most important negative outcome of the war was the crushing of limited government. Jefferson Davis, in his book "The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government" correctly predicted the enormous accumulation of power in the federal government that would result from the South's loss of the war.
