Pass The Chicken Please - Part II

We're just gonna tell it like it is. Here's the cocky arrogance of an anonymous commenter on a recent blogpost called Pass the Chicken Please: "East, west, north, or south, everyone needs clean water. It's essential for life...chicken isn't. And why would you expect the city of Wilson to spend a million dollars helpign people pay their utility bills? The people having trouble paying them make choices that bring it on themselves. Setting the...

NCDP Chair David Parker

Every time we've allowed voter restrictions like the poll tax or literacy tests in North Carolina, we've seen one result: legal voters stripped of their dignity and the full rights of their citizenship, and turned away from the polling place. Now, Republicans in the General Assembly have served up a voter suppression bill for our generation. They say it's aimed at stopping fraud, but we've been here before. And the last time it took nearly a hundred years and the civil rights movement to put things right again....

Please Pass The Chicken

I'm so tired of hearing about a chicken plant that isn't even in Wilson. Not to mention Wilson is spending a million dollars to stop a plant in Nash County. Where was that million dollars when people struggled to pay light bills? Why don't they put that million dollars toward paying off the debt they owe so they can lower light bills. My opinion is if this chicken plant was on the east side of town and not close to the west side of town (along with...

Democrat or Dixiecrat

Democrat or Dixiecrat Let me begin this story by giving you the definition of Dixiecrat. It was a former political party formed in 1948 by Democrats from southern states in order to oppose the candidacy of Harry S. Truman. The splintered Democratic Party could not come to terms on quite a few issues including Civil Rights and Integration. So fast forward to 2010 and the Democratic Party is again divided. At least back in the day they had the...
