Lying NC Democrats

Now I realize that if you follow politics at all in North Carolina, you realize that it's not news that Democrats are liars. Why? It's what they do. And if they actually admitted the truth of what they want for you, the peon, even they might not get elected, no matter how much they continue to rig the election process.

Those of you who watched the elections last year and remember them (I know, that's very, very few people) may remember the main theme to the NC Democrat's campaign: Stop Corruption. Jim Black was in the process of denying that he had done anything wrong while everyone else was providing clear evidence that he was a felon. The Democrats continued to promise they would "fix" government and "end corruption."

As an aside, a quick note about Jim Black. Jim Black insisted for years that he did not do anything wrong. Even when he plead guilty to various felonies, he continued to claim he didn't do anything wrong. I can understand a person who breaks the law while claiming he did no wrong. In fact, I do that often. There are certain laws that are wrong. They are unjust laws. They do not apply to me because I answer to a higher power. No matter how many laws are passed, if they're unjust, I'm not obeying them. So I can understand Jim Black, the face of the Democrat party. But realize which laws it was that he thought were unjust and didn't apply to him: extortion, bribery, and forgery. That's the view of the Democrat party in North Carolina. Things like bribery and forgery are perfectly okay with them -- they honestly don't see anything wrong with committing those acts!

So, during the entire campaign season, with this huge cloud over their leader, the Democrats continued to say that they were the ones who were going to fix everything (after being the ones who started all the corruption). You cannot blame one bit of the corruption at the feet of Republicans -- the Democrats have run the state for OVER 100 years.

Now that the election is over and Black has finally plead guilty to felonies, the Democrat-led legislature is back at work. So, what have they got in the works for corruption? What do they plan for this year to "fix government" and ensure people like Jim Black don't continue the Democrat rein of terror, bribery, extortion, and forgery? Let's check their agenda:

Well, there you have it. That's right, the Democrats are doing absolutely nothing to change any way they have done business in the past. The new Democrat speaker of the House is completely free to engage in all the same corruption that Black engaged in. He's got his personal checking account, filled with taxpayer dollars, and he can write checks with your money for anything he wants and no one is allowed to question him.

In fact, in some ways, government is MORE secretive and can be even MORE corrupt -- they've closed hearings by the state ethics committee to the public! That's right, the committee that's supposed to meet and determine what's ethical or not in government is now only meeting in secret! So you're not even allowed to know any more what government considers ethical! Heck, Jim Black might even be ON THAT BOARD for all we know -- because we're not allowed to see it meet.

And yes, Governor Easley is on board with the total control and corruption. Two of his staffers (like he didn't know what they were doing) used their contacts and the "good old boy" network to give piles of taxpayer cash to Easley's pals. And Easley doesn't care. While it's clear that it was corrupt to the bone, and even Easley admits it was "inappropriate" (Democrat code word for criminal), Easley will not punish the staffers at all -- and the contracts still are in place.

Corruption: it's how Democrats run government in North Carolina.
