Well, lookee here: AFL-CIO hyping Bill Barber’s carnival sideshow
McClatchy and WRAL try oh-so-hard to convince us that Moral Monday is an honest-to-God grassroots uprising. *Folks are standing up against the state’s slide into fascist totalitarianism.*
Yet, we keep finding a sideshow dominated by union members, Democrat politicos, hardcore leftists and professional agitators with a smattering of useful idiots /low-information types / Obama voters tossed in for camouflage.
Now come the good folks at the AFL-CIO — perhaps jealous about all of the play the SEIUers from New York have gotten out of their participation in The Bill Barber Show — ready to add to the Halifax Mall circus:
The end of the beginning
Moral Mondays have been going strong since the first Moral Monday on April 29, 2013.
There have been twelve waves of protests since then, at which thousands of North Carolinians have assembled on Halifax Mall, many hundreds have packed the rotunda of the state house, and almost 1,000 people – including state AFL-CIO president James Andrews – have been arrested by the leaders of the North Carolina General Assembly for daring to be disobedient in the face of injustice.
Watch a recap of Moral Monday 12 – the NC Attack on Voting Rights.
Now that the legislature has adjourned until May 2014, Moral Mondays are about to go statewide. But not before one last massive gathering in Raleigh on July 29th and a march on the Old North State Capitol!
Watch the promo video for Moral Monday 13.

Of course “Mountain Moral Monday” will be in Pack Square in “Trashville” . Sure hope all the unwashed,stinking Occupiers help out.
The protesters are scheduled to be outside my house on Thursday. My wife has hired them to protest my not taking the trash out when it gets 2/3 full. She claims that I put too much in it and it spills out. She has promised to cook pork chops with scalloped potatoes for the demonstrators. It is being billed as “Trash Thursday.” Seems to me to be an awful lot of trouble but there are reports that McClatchy has already been around interviewing the neighbors. What is the proper protocol on the McClatchy reporters? Do they get to eat the pork chops for free or do they pay? Are they part of the protest or are they unbiased reporters?
