(Looks reasonable to me).
Thanks. The given website didn't work...(www.ncckc.org)
Pretty strong lineup there.
Hayworth is terrific; I've seen some of his speeches in the House, and he can peel the paint off the walls when he gets rolling. Possibly some North Carolinians are not aware of Congressman Hayworth's North Carolina connections. He was born in High Point, and graduated cum laude, majoring in speech communications and political science, from N.C. State, where he played football until an injury ended his playing career; he served as student body president his senior year.
I'm not surprised. I had to correct a lot of typos and I had to find missing information from their press release (like the name and date of the conference).
They probably have interns working in marketing. Here is the correct website:
John Williams Pope Civitas Institute
The Conservative Voice (theconservativevoice.com) is just Nathan Tabor's thinly disguised campaign website. This in itself makes the whole conference event look a little suspicious.
The Hispanic Challenge (To America) A MUST READ Samuel Huntington (Long But Good)
The Mexicans are unlike previous immigrants. This definitely needs to be read by everyone at least once! It should be linked on pertinent immigration threads. Here's an interesting link about Samuel Huntington:
I'll be there! Anyone else going?
I wished we could start by retaking Asheville, which is becoming the "San Francisco" of the Appalachians.
Oh, brother. Speaking as a Texas conservative......what do you want to talk to that old longtime Dem for? Rick's as RiNO as they come.
His pet projects have been gay adoptions, toll roads, and opening the borders to illegal aliens (so the truck farmers and factory owners and building contractors can have their cheap, pliant labor).
He's about useless, IOW.
We call him "Gov. Goodhair".
His current favoritest slogan is (quoting one of his minions at the state transportation department):
"Toll roads, or slow roads, or no roads."
It's a tax turnstile, see. And he contracts it out to shadowy international New World Order companies, and they give the state some money to go away, and they own the state's infrastructure for ever and ever, and charge everyone else "all the traffic will bear" so their rich, anonymous international investors can stay rich forever, making money off what we used to own. Sweeeeeet, eh?
His first big toll-road project will be to put up toll booths on a whole bunch of existing major highways into Austin, basically surrounding the city with toll booths so that, unless you live up the I-35 northeast corridor, or down toward San Antonio, or on the north side of Austin where the legislators live and the computer companies have their campuses, you have to pay cash out-of-pocket to visit Austin. Especially if you live in Houston. You just about can't get into Austin without paying up, when Governor Rick is through selling our roads to "tolling authorities".
He wants to do the same thing with a bunch of Houston freeways, to help choke off suburban development and make the Boys Downtown mega-rich with skyrocketing real-estate values in an environment of artificial scarcity, a la Tokyo in the 1980's. Why should the Japanese zaiteku be the only ones to gouge their own workers' eyes out and recycle a ton of their paychecks by charging them exorbitant rents for pathetic little apartments?
It's called "the new urbanism" and it's something Left Coast socialist journo's write glowy newspaper columns about. Portland, Oregon's commissariat has been working on it for about 10 years now. Back in the 30's, stuff like this used to be called The Big Fix. But now public criminals at least know how to go high-concept and try to sell the idea as a positive good.
Enabling amoral plutocratic greed is what Rick's all about. Be forewarned.
