I Really Hope That Someone Can Agree with Me That Democrat NC Gov. Bev Perdue Did not Tell A Joke:
She sure sounds serious. And that makes her "It was a joke" excuse a lie...
Liar.
Stability via tyranny is not stability.

Brad Miller's Indentured Servitude Of Individuals, Of States, and Of Our Nation....
Update:
Polifrog apologizes for prematurely posting the following as a rough draft. Accidents happen.
The cast system of perpetual government assistance created by liberal logic didn't stop with classes of individuals enticed toward a cycle of poverty. Currently it is metastasizing into a similar system of state indentured servitude to the federal government in part due to North Carolina's growing debt and dependency on federal assistance due to that debt.
NC has, to a large degree, become a dependent state due to our state's Pavlov like votes for Brad Miller, a politician who pushes bills through congress that "help" states that spend more than they take in. This "help" does not serve the long term interests of the states, though. A state, like an individual or spoiled child, will never learn fiscal discipline if the negative results of their profligate sending is never felt. This liberal feel good legislation dooms these states to more spending and dependency on the federal government for new rounds of bailouts. Of course, with dependency comes federal manipulation of state affairs and further dissolution of our federal system. Texas recently gave the federal government the bird due to these polices. Good for Texas. NC's delegation of panty-wastes leaders could never muster the strength to do the same.
Not only does Brad Miller put today's citizens further into debt, but he supports legislation that creates debt in perpetuity for generations to come. Brad Miller put 1/6 of NC' s economy under federal control and is forcing the unborn generations who survive Miller's abortion killing fields to foot the our bills for those who don't make it to birth. The results of this combination of excessive government spending combined with a scourge of abortions can be witnessed today in a Europe that has grown dependent on culturally insensitive Muslim immigration to keep their populations from collapsing. The Europe we know today, the source of western civilization, is dying due to liberal ideology.
It is not just Brad Miller that supports NC dependency. NC has become an indentured state by giving its support to Bev Perdue as well, a politician who gladly accepts federal funding. These handouts are often required to be used on new spending only. This creates a new baseline for next year's spending when there is no federal handout. This further pushes NC toward insolvency and dependency by growing next year's budget with this year's spending. Brad Miller helps with the creation and passage of such bills in congress and Bev Perdue gladly signs our state into Brad Miller supported indentured servitude to the federal government. According to LincolnTibune:
The implications of the 2010-11 state budget will be felt heavily next year. By relying on more than $1.5 billion of non-recurring federal stimulus funds and $1.3 billion in temporary tax revenue to help balance the 2010-11 budget, North Carolina lawmakers and Gov. Perdue are setting up North Carolina for a major state budgetary crisis in 2011-12. Absent those two significant sources of funding, state budget writers will be facing a revenue hole of $2.8 billion when they reconvene next year to craft the 2011-12 state budget.
The national implication of this liberal reliance on dependency and debt can seen starkly on the graphs below. Obama supporting states have twice the debt per capita debt than the non Obama voting states.
According to Moody’s, the average state per capita debt of the 28 Obama states is $1,728 while the average debt in the 22 McCain states is less than half, at $749. This information alone says a lot about voters and their attitude towards government and debt. Voters with a propensity to elect politicians who burden future generations who can’t yet vote with huge debts voted for Obama while fiscally responsible voters generally voted for McCain.

Although states can turn to the Federal Government for relief, our national government has only nations outside our boarders to support its debt. This national reliance on debt to fund government growth increases our dependence on unreliable international sources and calls into question our future as a nation. Brad Miller, Bev Perdue and other of their ilk are forcing unborn generations of Americans who survive the gauntlet of Brad Miller's Congressional supported abortions into a nation with a questionable future.

NC. Gov Bev Perdue Polls Plummets 15% in 2 Months Among Dems-- Lowering Job Prospects Through Corporate Theft from Alcoa....
According to a recent Civitas poll Bev Perdue's poor polling numbers are a result of liberal Democrat spending policies and scandal.
According to the live caller poll of 600 likely voters, 40 percent of Democratic voters now have a favorable opinion of Perdue while 28 percent view her unfavorably. Meanwhile, the majority of Republicans continue to hold an unfavorable view of Perdue (23 percent-51 percent). Unaffiliated voters’ opinions are split at a 36-36 percent margin of favorably.
“As we saw last year, it seems that whenever Perdue signs the state budget, her numbers take a hit, especially with the members of her base Democratic voters,” said Civitas Institute Senior Legislative Analyst Chris Hayes. “The scandals within the Highway Patrol seem to be taking their toll on her favorable ratings as well.”
Failed Keynesian Economics can be a hard sale when the citizenry is hold their wallets shut while watching their leaders blow through their tax dollars with ever increasing raises and benefits for bureaucrats.
It is, of course, interesting to see Bev Perdue attempt to take credit for nearly every job created in the private sector brought in through bribes. Not a day goes by that Polifrog fails to see articles such as this from NewObsever.com which parrots Bev Perdue's office:
and others such as this, and this, and this, and this, etc... -- Propaganda. State sponsored, tax payer funded propaganda.Ethan Allen plans to expand production at its furniture factory in Western North Carolina and add 90 jobs.
The factory in Old Fort, just east of Asheville, makes dining and bedroom sets and other products.
The new jobs will pay average annual salaries of $26,645, Gov. Bev Perdue's office announced. That's less than the McDowell County average of $27,768. State officials promised the company a grant worth up to $270,000 if it meets its hiring goals.
Is it only Polifrog that wonders why "incentives" must be funneled through the inefficiencies of governance? Would it not be fairer, more honest, and efficient if the corporate taxes that have been levied over the decades were lowered or removed entirely in an effort to create massive desire for corporations to locate in NC.
Perhaps easiest way to lure corporations to the state would be to not attempt to steal their assets as in the case with Alcoa's dams:
Gov. Bev Perdue's administration has asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reject Alcoa's request for a renewal of its license to continue operating the power plants. Perdue wants the commission to rule against Alcoa so that, for the first time in the history of federal power law, North Carolina can recapture the generating facilities from Alcoa.
If I ran a corporation, I would not locate in a state that has a history of setting precedence in favor of the theft of private assists.
Of course, corporations bring jobs, not Bev Purdue.

Bev Perdue -- Governing the Raising of Our Children Instead of Our State....
Bev Perdue believes NC is in a war over resegregation. Nonsense!
Last month, Perdue told the state's legislative black caucus that North Carolina is in a "war" over resegregation.
...
"Gov. Perdue firmly believes that children are better prepared when the community inside their school resembles the one outside," said Mark Johnson, a spokesman for Perdue. "When they meet and make friends with people from different economic backgrounds, they learn that everybody doesn't have the same experiences in life."
It seems (Her Highness) Gov. Perdue wishes to reserve the right for government to raise our children for us unenlightened country folk. Bev Perdue's world view does not have room for parents making child rearing choices for their own children.
We all know schools did a better job of teaching the three R's and history in previous generations when they were responsive to those who made up their districts. Unfortunately our school districts have grown far too large through consolidation and are now more influenced by parties of influence outside the district (civil rights activists) than by those individuals they serve within their district.
The issue of school diversity in North Carolina has gotten increased attention in the past few months.Civil rights activists have alleged that resegregation is occurring in schools in Wayne and New Hanover counties. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board, which abandoned busing for diversity in 2002, is now reconsidering what role diversity should have in student assignments.[Bold Added]
Of course, it seems our ruling class believes the solution to the problem is to set up a commission of 15 individuals of Bev Perdue's choosing.
State Democrats have used the Wake school controversy to mobilize their supporters. They insist the commission will conduct an honest study of the issue."Whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, we need to look at what Wake is doing," said state Rep. Rick Glazier, a Cumberland County Democrat who proposed the commission. "This is an issue that is truly important. This is one of the most successful and largest districts in the country making a major change, and the question is why?"[Bold Added]
Polifrog suggests we save the state of NC the salaries of Bev Perdue's 15 "enlightened" and "unbiased" governing class and instead break up our "largest districts in the country" so that smaller more accountable districts can better tend to those they serve. This can be done without the cost of an easily influenced 15 member panel of "intellectuals" of which who's sole purpose is to divorce influence over the schools from the citizenry.
Perhaps, then, Bev Perdue can turn her attention to state duties and let communities sort through community matters.
This is not a war over resegregation, but rather a war over who raises our children; Parents or a distant government. Let communities govern themselves with governance that is close and responsive to the people.
Stop the social engineering. Stop the insanity.

Bev Perdue Finds NC's Reliance on the State Dole Acceptable
Via Charlotte Business Journal:North Carolina has received $20.3 million in federal funds as a first step in a plan to establish a high-speed rail link between Charlotte and Raleigh.
Gov. Bev Perdue sees nothing wrong in relying on the federal government for a state dole. She does not seem to realize that true state health is created from within the state and not simply handed down from above. Creating an expanding economy through government spending is like a rabbit picking itself up by its own ears.
“This award is an exciting first step in the state’s partnership with the federal government to make high-speed rail a reality in North Carolina and the Southeast,” Gov. Bev Perdue says in a prepared statement. “For our citizens, it means jobs, economic development, reduced congestion and a cleaner environment.”
Apparently it does not a occur to Bev Perdue that NC's reliance on such a dole is an example of not only her failed leadership, but NC's miserable economic conditions.
A healthy NC would be able to provide for its own needs. A properly managed and run NC should not need to go to the federal government with a hand in need extended.
When will leadership begin?
End result: Bev Perdue's weakens NC through a reliance on the state dole while strengthening the federal government's hold on our state.
The strength of Federalism is on hold under Bev Perdue.

Oklahoma House Overrides Governor's Veto of Opt out of ObamaCare Bill:
Oklahoma's Governor Henry vetoed a bill that would have allowed Oklahoma to opt out of ObamaCare. Like Bev Purdue, he believes weakening the state he represents is good for his state.
Unlike NC, though, Oklahoma has a house that represents the people of the state and Oklahoma's house has voted to override their Governor's veto. Good. Unfortunately, in the Oklahoma senate the result may not be so positive.
The fact that Oklahoma has representatives enough to put their pro ObamaCare representatives on record as being pro ObamaCare is a wonderful thing, as many will likely loose their seats as a result.
NC does not have this advantage.

Beufort County Commissioners Voted to ask NC to Join ObamaCare Suit
ObamaCare is a national horror and only by pushing for change on both the national level as well as the local level can we affect change.
Unfortunately, our NC Gov. Bev Purdue continues to stymie common sense and choose political irrelevancy through her preference for being on the wrong side of history. Bev Purdue is as much of a problem in NC as Brad Miller.
Imagine, a NC Governor supports abdicating 1/6 of NC's economy to the federal government, a federal government that at the same time pushes the costs of ObamaCare onto the State of NC through Medicade and high risk pools. Bev Purdue actively hurts NC through her support for ObamaCare, an unbelievable action considering her oath of office.
"I do solemnly and sincerely swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the State of North Carolina, and to the constitutional powers and authorities which are or may be established for the government thereof; and that I will endeavor to support, maintain and defend the Constitution of said State, not inconsistent with Constitution of the United States, to the best of my knowledge and ability; so help me God."Bev Purdue, faithfully flipping NC the bird through ObamaCare.
For now, it is always wonderful and invigorating to find and see local resistance,
Via Beufort Observer Online:
At their monthly meeting May 10, 2010 the Beaufort County Commissioners voted 4-3 along party lines, to recommend to the Governor, Legislature and the Attorney General that North Carolina join a law suit that has now been filed by fifteen other states to challenge the constitutionality of ObamaCare.
And if you wish to hear and see resistance to government overreach in action see the below video...
