    Anyone seeing any parallels to fascism yet? Someone should ask Trump his thoughts on what's going on in NC. Willing to bet his answer would be: state's rights. Or maybe NC is beautiful, so kind, so kind?

    I had to drive 95 south through the length of NC to get to my SC beach destination yesterday, a frequent trip in fact. The billboards tell it all: Every five miles or so, a religious, God-Will-Save-You billboard, followed closely by a billboard advertising a Titty Bar Sex Shop catering to men, women, AND couples. All up and down 95 in NC, you can stop in at the Lion's Den to meet all your (heterosexual?) fetishes and then call 1-800-TRUTH to pray about it afterward. Such a bizarre marketing message on the NC billboards that you don't see north of the border. It begins in NC and then makes its way south on 95. So bizarre!!

    Sounds like a lot of Southern states. It's what happens when you repress yourselves.

    So Charlotte repeals their ordinance, and the Gov trusts that NC republicans will repeal the state law in the deal. Interesting.

    I don't trust them but I hope they do repeal this and save the taxpayers a lot of time/money in court.
    McCrory has already wasted enough with this recount nonsense.

    you're right it is a free country, the free people of this country voted Trump into office, the free people of this country accept and defend the 2nd amendment, the free people of this country happen to be white, brown, black and yellow....Guns and freedom for everybody ! unless you are a criminal here illegally then you should be deported or imprisoned and yes it's the American way not the illegal immigrant way and no not everybody should be accepted for American citizenship.

    so yes my friend you are right, it is a free country and as such it's my right to protest illegal immigration, gay marriage and anti gun activist's
    or anything else I find offensive....right ?
