New slogan for NC?

Published March 31, 2016

The way things are going, Pat McCrory will have to change North Carolina’s new branding slogan from “Nothing Compares” to “Nobody Comes to NC.”

While the Governor and his media minions are freaking out over the Hate Bill 2 media frenzy, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal is making hay.

This week Deal, a Republican, vetoed a controversial, so-called Religious Freedom bill, saying:

“I do not think we have to discriminate against anyone to protect the faith-based community in Georgia of which I and my family have been part of all of our lives….Georgia is a welcoming state. It is full of loving, kind and generous people.”

Smart. Georgia now stands to clean North Carolina’s clock on attracting businesses the way it has on motion pictures.

One TAPster noted:

“Sort of odd to see Georgia taking the high road. Since the 50s-60s, NC and GA have vied for business and as center of the New South.  Some of our biggest gains were when Lester Maddox was Gov of GA.  Not quite sure why we’re returning the favor – except Deal cannot run for reelection and McCrory is.  As Trump would say, ‘Sad’.”

Since Christianity is under fire in this nation, from the top down, it is extremely important that religious freedoms be protected. Even though it's written into the national Constitution, since libs believe it is a living, breathing document, written in pencil that changes with the wind, it is important that individual states protect their citizens. Every lib pol, every lib sub-group, every gay group is trying to protect special interests for political gain, while penalizing anyone & everyone that does not belong to the new protected group. I honestly thought that the U S Constitution protected EVERYONE'S individual rights. I was not aware that every group needed to be specifically called out and special protections created for each & every group. Where in the U S Constitution does it say that only certain people or certain groups are specifically protected? Where in our Constitution does it give anyone authority to decide that one group's rights trump, defeat, over-ride any other groups rights?

I thought the words 'all men being created equal' actually were in the Constitution. Perhaps I am not keeping up with the new lib language, but at one point in our history words actually had meaning. I promise I will NOT be reading up on the latest meaning of words in the lib speak dictionary. I like plain English just fine. When the controlling document of our nation no longer has meaning, our republic is doomed. When the Constitution says that people who CHOOSE to participate in any market are protected suddenly is translated by libs as 'anyone can be forced by central planners to participate in any given market we decide or be penalized by force of central planners' then we know destruction is imminent. Yet, this is exactly what Obamacancer has done; forced people who choose not to participate in a market to be penalized for making this FREE CHOICE. And not only are we forced to participate, we are now forced to choose an option, and only the options, made available by central planners. Cuz, let's face it, lib pols know me & my family better than I do. And, thank God libs are so smart & caring, they know exactly what health coverage we need to protect us cuz I just don't love my family as much as they do.

Deal made the wrong deal. Christians need as much protection in today's environment as any group. The difference is libs HATE Christians and wish to suppress us in every way possible. One way they do this is to prevent creating Christians as a specially protected group. The other way is to insure that EVERY OTHER group that comes forward actually does get special protections. All at the cost of Christians!

Thank God I still have the ability to think and KNOW that everything lib, everything socialist, is exactly the opposite of right and proper. Thank God I still have the ability to think logically so that I can figure out for myself that socialism has destruction built into it, and I still have the God-given right to fight your schemes. I still have the God-given right to use logic, thinking ability, and actual ideas to fight YOUR liberal, socialist schemes. Ideas trump schemes every time!

(that ought to tick off every lib out there. i tried to reference God as often as i could for just that purpose. not only because i believe in God, trust in God, call myself a Christian, but because it inflames libs so much! anything i can do to poke a lib in the eye is worth it!)

If it takes a law to legalize perversion and endanger women and children to attract visitors or residents to NC then I hope we have neither ! The entire nation has morally gone down the drain since obama took office and I am please to see NC's state legislature and Governor standing up to the evil that has been let loose on this nation and NC.

Nonsense You obviously have no knowledge of what this is about. What do you think the LGBT community has been doing forever, never using a bathroom of their mindset. Absolutely no instance of any wrong doing. Please advise why this obsession with body parts interest the right wing so called religious people. Obama has been a great president in spite of the obstruction and roadblocks created by the do nothing republicans in the house and senate. Why not try a few more news outlets and read books not written by haters and such. No christian love displayed in this new hate law.

Bigotry is Bigotry, and my Bible has nothing in it along the lines of the above comments. I leave judging to my God, while following His command to love my fellow man (and woman).

NC's new motto should be: "BACKWARDS To The Future!"

I agree with you 100% Norm Kelly. Like minds do think alike. You said verbatim what I would have said. The libs think government is the answer and Americans KNOW that CHOICE/FREEDOM is the answer to our problems at hand . More freedom = better life for all people.

more govt= worse options and a smothered way of life.

think of it this way libs.... if you can,

Do you want have to the choice to pick your toilet paper/ house/ car/ health insurance/etc. or do you want some bureaucrat telling you that you can have sandpaper or wax paper for toilet paper options because they were the low bidders in that section? or to have a 900 sq foot house with 6 people in your family because the government tells you this is what is "saving the environment"? how about a moped for your car because its the most efficient vehicle to transport you to work? hope you like the rain in your face on an early monday morning. need i go on? or do you think you libs can grasp that economics and free markets are the top priorities for Americans.

You are under the impresson the nonsense and hatred shown by the rightwing nonthinkers bothers a moderate or liberal at all. The uneducated ramblings displayed has no effect at all, to be taken seriously you first must have a factual argument. I wonder what we can do about the attack by religion and its believers which choose what section of the bible to drag out at any given time. What is presented has nothing to do with Christianity. You have a church on many corners try spending more time listening and less persecuting others who do not share you hate and lack of human decency. Tax the church they are too political.
