Can NC secede from the US again? After Obama's military cuts we could make it this time.

And to make the liberals happy we could even put tolls on I-95 and I-85, I-77 and I-40 since they would be crossing into another country.

Just kidding, but still...

....AND to the "REPUBLIC" for which I "STAND"!

McCrory will definitely be headstrong as he moves to allow offshore drilling that will never benefit the citizens of NC and to promote fracking long enough to poison the water supply for the central part of NC so that he can show he is pro-business for the gas companies.

Hopefully McCrory will be a headstrong governor advocating state rights. We desperately need someone to step up against the ballooning federal government, especially now that Obama has been re-elected.

Actually you are incorrect. The repubs in the past 2 years have run this state into the ground. Was doing fine until they all got into power. They have done nothing but divide, discriminate and pushed their moral issues on everyone else."----banker27520

My post wasn't even directed to you, however since you seem so disgruntled at the Republican sweep I have to beg the question, are you one of the Democrat KKK members that got called out and not elected?

"Actually you are incorrect. The repubs in the past 2 years have run this state into the ground. Was doing fine until they all got into power. They have done nothing but divide, discriminate and pushed their moral issues on everyone else."----banker27520

Yes, we had the best roads, the best education system, no cronyism, no democrats in jail, the best economy, the best unemployment rate, up until 2 years ago.

I am curious, do you honestly believe that?

Ya...now it's not fair.

"When all variables are the same, more money attracts better teachers and educated graduates who might want to enter the teaching field. Right now, there aren't even enough textbooks to go around. 1 in 8 teachers left the profession in NC even though we were in the midst of a recession. Teacher pay in NC is amongst the worst. Education spending is very near the bottom. Amazingly some try to claim that we shouldn't spend more but lack any evidence. The states that do the best, spend quite a bit more. (NJ, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania etc.)"-----Plenty Coups

You might wanna check your sources. NC is middle of pack on salaries and-

"It also shows absence of correlation between spending and success when comparing results from individual states.

States that spend the most certainly do not get the best results, at least as far as these two national standardized measures of performance show"

Wait and see attitude at this point. We, the People, will only stand so much radical change from any party.
