Boycott North Carolina

Help us, please

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you will have noticed that the Republican Party in Raleigh has pulled a U-turn on progress in North Carolina. From draconian budget cuts that undermine public education to radical gerrymandering of electoral districts to the Anti-Marriage Amendment to discriminate against gay citizens, our state is going to hell in a handbasket - fast.

Fortunately, there is one language the Tarheel Taliban do understand: money.

For business people. If you are a person who decides where meetings, conferences, tradeshows, and such are held, our request is simple. Choose another state, and let the leaders of North Carolina know about your decision.

For individuals who don't live in North Carolina. Spend your vacation dollars somewhere else.

Those of us already here in North Carolina who believe in freedom and equality are working like crazy to oust the Tarheel Taliban from office. Whatever support you can provide from beyond our borders will be most appreciated.

Despite all the talk about freedom in Raleigh, political leaders hate the idea of local governments controlling their own destinies. In the balance of power, the state is an 8000-pound gorilla compared to cities, towns and counties. Raleigh calls the shots.

Sure it's chiseled into the state constitution (something few seem to care about these days), but should it really be this way? Don't market advocates value experimentation and competitive diversity? Why should the state be tightening its grip on local government options right now? The need for new solutions is urgent.

Why not let cities and counties compete at whatever level they want? Why not give cities and counties completely free reign?

My county could kick butt. Especially if I could open a casino.

Unauthorized time travel

2011-03-24T13:44:00.001-07:00

Creationists in Texas will have their heads 'sploding to discover that (gasp!) human beings lived on Lone Star land more than 15,000 years ago, 9,000 years before the earth was even formed! If those suckers had tried living in Skipstamistan, they'd have been put to death for unauthorized time travel.

Don't argue with ideologues

As an irrelevant "person" in Skipscamistan, this handy-dandy chart will explain why you have no business talking to the Powers that Be.

Prepared to be stoned

Nonbelievers are second-class citizens in Skipstamistan, endowed with only those rights the Tarheel Taliban are willing to confer. They are the chosen ones, and they are not happy with their world being turned on its head.

Spiritual, philosophical, witty, entertaining, yet respectful, "Jesus Swept" takes the world of Christianity and turns it upside down in the most entertaining way possible.

Pole dancing for Jesus

In Skipstamistan, up is down, Christians rule the roost, and horny housewives do it all for the love of Jesus.

Coming soon to the Old North State:

One tax expert says that the measure could even lead to questions on tax forms: Have you had an abortion? Did you keep your receipt?

In Skipstamistan, the Tarheel Taliban will stop at nothing.

You will see the doctor we tell you to see

Coming soon to North Carolina, courtesy of the Tarheel Taliban: Death panels with a twist.

Rather than refer Burton for the desired second opinion, he instead felt it necessary to contact state authorities, who then proceeded to force Burton to be admitted to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital against her will and undergo any procedure the doctor felt like prescribing. When Burton had the audacity to request a change in the hospital in which she was being treated, the court denied her request. Three days into her forced hospitalization, Burton miscarried

Oh-pium?

If we're going to be a religious dictatorship, maybe we should reap the rewards of addicting the infidels?

Where state-sponsored gambling

2011-03-06T15:27:00.000-08:00

is just a few steps ahead of state-sponsored slavery. What a fucked up way to fund a government.

Not to worry. We need cheap cement more than we need healthy children.

Where teachers are on a mission from god

2011-03-04T06:02:00.000-08:00

If you're going to Skipstamistan, don't plan to bring your children unless you also bring your checkbook. According to the mullah, teachers who don't work for private companies are nothing but little piggies, slopping at the taxpayer trough. In fact, the only acceptable teachers in Skipstamistan are the ones who believe that eternal life hinges on teenage virgins having sex with magic ghosts. If that doesn't make sense to you, well, find some place to live besides the brave new world of the Tarheel Taliban.

When visiting Skipstamistan,
one must remember the thing
that matters most.
Locks are key.

About that constitution

2011-03-03T07:10:00.000-08:00

If hypocrisy was a capital crime, leaders of the Tarheel Taliban in Raleigh would have long since been hung by their necks until dead. As Bob Geary observes in the Independent this week, no where is their two-faced arrogance on display more than in the area of constitutional law. In the holy land of Skipscamistan, the North Carolina constitution is nothing but an afterthought on the way to imposing a Christian version of sharia law on women in the Old North State.

The young earthers and birthers take control

2010-10-09T08:21:00.000-07:00

The tea party. If you think things are bad now in America, imagine the place being run by people who think the earth is 6000 years old and that women who have abortions should be charged with premeditated homicide. Tarheel Taliban.

The coming shitstorm

2010-10-04T06:09:00.000-07:00

Elect "Speaker Stam" and you will plunge North Carolina's poor into a shitstorm of misery that makes today's problems seem like a walk in the park. Just like in California.

Off with their heads: Teachers on the brink

2010-10-03T14:43:00.000-07:00

Under a Republican majority, more than twenty thousand North Carolina teachers will be fired in failed attempts to balance the budget.

Whores and pimps: the Taliban takeover

2010-10-03T09:49:00.001-07:00

Republicans like B.J. Lawson running for Congress are opportunistic whores who will say anything and do anything to get elected.

Pregnant? Tough shit

2010-10-01T05:40:00.000-07:00

Republicans want to eliminate health coverage for maternity care. Unfreakinbelievable.

2010-09-30T18:18:00.000-07:00

Are you scared yet?

2010-09-30T17:53:00.000-07:00

If you aren't scared shitless about the possible takeover of America by corporate Republicans, you aren't paying attention. This website explains why.

Republicans will outlaw abortion. If you're a woman who terminates a pregnancy you will be a murderer. They probably won't stone you to death when they reinstate capital punishment. You'll get lethal injection instead. Tell your friends how cool that will be.
