How will NC Republicans Respond?


Several years back I asked a local Republican, "now that
the GOP has gained the majority in the legislature how
will the party respond to the editorial attacks by the News
and Observer".  He quickly responded, "why do you read
the paper"!  The gentleman is now a former legislator
defeated by a first time Democrat challenger.

This question came to mind when I read the attacks towards
the General Assembly and Gov. McCrory by the News and
Observer after a law passed that halted Charlotte's extension
of its anti-discrimination ordinance to transgenders.

But, the wrath of the paper was not limited. Immediately,
the paper was joined by activists, corporations, the NBA
and even ESPN condemning the legislation.

So I find it appropriate to ask the question once again, how
will party leadership defend its legislation?

​History has shown Republicans often fail to win public sentiment
on issues of this type. The "offended"industry is expert on using
well versed empathy to beat clumsily prepared logic which is 
troubling since true limited govt. and conservative positions are
successfully defended on conservative talk radio every day.

If the Republican leadership on Jones St. takes no other
suggestion, take this advise, tune in conservative talk radio,
you might learn how to beat back the "offended" industry!
