I don't understand. The Charlotte Observer is socialist. They have very, very socialist and collective views on what Charlotte and North Carolina should be. They are very seriously heavily anti-freedom. They support nearly every socialist and collectivist idea that exists and cheer relentlessly when those ideas are implemented. They also have their friends in power -- in the Charlotte City Council, the Mecklenburg County Council, in the State Legislature, and in the Governor's seat. They are overjoyed this year since all of those groups raised taxes. But they are very unhappy now.

The Observer whines and complains that there is a state agency that has a goal of "slowing the proliferation of annoying [state] rules." You see the N.C. Rules Review Commission exists to "make sure proposed rules comply with N.C. law," and that absolutely infuriates the Charlotte Observer.

The Observer does not like pesky things like Constitutions, procedures, or laws. They want committees, groups, commissions, and "authorities" to be able to make their own rules, even if those rules violate basic rights or any other law. The Observer complains that this commission "has rejected rules that state commissions spent years carefully drafting." In the mind of the Observer, is a commission spends years drafting rules, it doesn't matter what the law or the Constitution says.

Just keep that in mind when you're reading "news" stories -- usually just opinion pieces on pages other than the page labeled "opinion" -- in the Charlotte Observer. If you like freedom, they honestly hate you.
