Unbelievable.. but based on this logic, California, New York, Maryland, Washington, Oregon etc are no longer democracy's either.

Last time I checked, there has been no wall erected around NC to keep people in, and no restrictions on leaving that particular state for another one that is “more democratic”. So what is holding this guy back?

Classic projection. Accuse the others of what you would do yourself if you could get away with it.

When this story first came out last week, I did a comparison of the North Carolina and Massachusetts legislatures (both houses). The results were something like this:

North Carolina: 123-R, 68-D.

Massachusetts: 159-D, 40-R.

"Non-democratic" North Carolina was about 61% Republican, but "democratic" Massachusetts was nearly 80% Democrat.

Notice he doesn’t say that about California, where Hillary won 66% of the vote.

Commies will be commies. They can see the splinter in another’s eye but can’t see the beam in their own.

I find it amusing that any professor at UNCheat can grieve about anything outside their own university bounds. Their athletic department has engaged in wholesale cheating for 30 years to keep their black slave athletes academically eligible to keep the sports revenue flowing. (See the recent NCAA amended Notice of Allegations) Maybe he should stay in his own backyard and try to make his difference in the world.

Screw this pompous hypocrite.

Dean’s Myth lives....

has concluded that political conditions in North Carolina are comparable to political conditions in totalitarian nations such as Cuba, Venezuela and Iran because Republicans are too politically successful.

Cool. Let's throw his ass in a gulag.

I live in North Carolina, and I was just the other day commenting (secretly so as no one in the regime could hear) to my assigned wife that the labor camp I have to work in seven days a week only served rice with maggots once a day with a cup of water. The rest of our sustanance was gotten by standing in long lines for our government rations at least six hours a day. I also mentioned my neighbor being dragged away from his home for re-education. I hope I’ll see him again.

Oh, wait, is that the sounds of boots kicking my door?
