Yo Brian... missed ya this past weekend. In case you missed it, my invitation still stands:
As far as your ad hominem attacks, please provide the date, time and location this weekend that you'd like to deliver those in person. Other than 12-2 Saturday for the Tar Heels basketball game, I'm free anytime to receive your salvation, "savior".
Re: “Verdict in Montgomery trial answers few questions”
Doubt the jury was reminded that technically he had the legal right to resist unlawful arrest, to whatever degree necessary, even using deadly force. Sounds like Bruce steen was planted to help steer the jury away from a technically fair trial being that it's a very likely possibility montgomery's actions were technically lawful.
Re: “Who the hell is Pat McCrory?”
OUR NC GOVERNOR, like it or not;
why don't we look at Charlotte in
mid 90's; and how it's progressed.
Re: “Racist Facebook posts hide fear”
Wow, 50 years later still hiding behind the conservative card. So typical of you racists.
Re: “Racist Facebook posts hide fear”
Wow, 4 years later still hiding behind the cowardice race card. So typical of you liberals. PS, President Libya Cover Up is 1/2 white.
Re: “Sex trafficking survivor Jillian Mourning finds L.O.V.E.”
I wanted to know how we can contact the love organization.
Re: “Pull the global trigger on gun control”
Sorry Amy, but a global treaty would have zero effect on gun ownership in the US. We have the 2nd Amendment. Like the others in the Bill of Rights and the orginal Amendments, it is an INDIVIDUAL RIGHT. Words like "shall not be infringed" are in there somewhere.
Re: “The unifying power of Amendment One”
Yeah, Obama really stepped up to the plate when he was in-state just before the Primairy...he very obviously avoided any comment of the initiative...until the day AFTER the Primary. He didn't even vote "Present". (BTW, I voted NO on the Amendment).
Re: “Racist Facebook posts hide fear”
@ DLP,
Your buddies at McClatchy seem to think the debt is held by China:
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/01/07/3770770/if-debt-ceiling-deal-fails-us.html
"Without a new debt ceiling, the government lacks the ability to borrow in order to pay the debt it already has incurred and owes. It could be forced to determine an order on who gets paid first, China or the elderly, in the event no deal is reached."
I'm sure you'll send them a correction since you are right that the Fed (i.e. Goldman and other Primary Dealers) own more debt than the Chinese. Feel free to cc me on that correction.
Re: “Racist Facebook posts hide fear”
Wow savior, I din't realize that a column that mentions "the presidential election" and Obama by name in its first paragraph is "only tangentially" about Obama.
As far as your ad hominem attacks, please provide the date, time and location this weekend that you'd like to deliver those in person. Other than 2-4 Saturday for the Tar Heels basketball game, I'm free anytime to receive your salvation, "savior".
Re: “Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma'am”
Great article and story! I always love a Diva and put her on wheels and that is just too fierce! Roller-derby seems to be not only very entertaining but also extremely empowering for the athletes! You have me psyched to see a game soon!
Re: “Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma'am”
I always wanted to compete in the roller-derby. I lived in my skates as pre-teen. I jumped down stairs, jumped curbs, and all sorts of stunts. That is probably why my knees are a mess now, we didn't where knee pads or helmets back then.
Re: “Racist Facebook posts hide fear”
He probably won't, Mr. Obama-is-George-W.-Bush-Jr., because 1) you're an asshole, and 2) you're a troll who uses whatever topic is at hand to harp on about Obama and all the rest of the things YOU are angry about. If you had actually read Mr. Easley's column, you would know that it's only tangentially about President Obama. The real topic -- the one you don't address, because you're too busy spouting your talking points -- is racism in social media. If you have something intelligent to add to that discussion, Mr. It's-All-About-ME, I'd bet Mr. Easley would be glad to thank you.
Re: “Racist Facebook posts hide fear”
Hey Mr. Easley,
You ever gonna thank ME for MY comments?
Re: “The unifying power of Amendment One”
A amendment passed primarily because the Republicans put it on the PRIMARY ballot during an election cycle when Republicans had an intense primary battle going and the Democrats were nominating an incumbent. That insured a much larger Republican than Democrat turnout for the primary.
All courtesy of the "smaller, less intrusive, government party and the Christian religion that is always at war with somebody.
Re: “Bayard Rustin: Unsung hero of the civil rights movement”
Very insightful and considering Obama speech yesterday a great topic to bring up. In a world where gay people struggle for equal rights! I hope that this is the start to a new age and a new movement to give everyone equal rights!!
