Your bid to buy the derelict movie theatre which the previous two owners could not make viable, is apparently the winning bid. Now, with another 3 or 4 million in renovations, you will be able to ......

Well, apparently it hasn't actually been decided yet what exactly we are going to do with this building.
But, never mind.....it will no longer be on the tax rolls and will be supported by the taxpayers rather than have it provide tax revenue to the town.

In 2010 the voters of Watauga County elected nearly a 100% slate of Republicans to office. A conservative county with a liberal university population in it's center - Watauga was represented at the state level by two liberal Democrats...each of whom earned their "F" grades on the Civitas conservative scale. We are now represented by two conservatives - more reflective of the permanent population of the county.

The recent Civitas Conservative rankings of our State Senator and our State Representative have both of them solidly in the Conservative column! While Watauga Conservatives might not agree with EVERY vote cast by either of these gentlemen, they have certainly lived up to their campaign promises of bringing fiscal responsibility and conservative principals to Raleigh.

VENT PAGE XXX ---- CELEBRATING OUR TURKEYS!

WHENEVER THE NUMBER OF POSTS IN A VENT PAGE MAKE IT CUMBERSOME TO NAVIGATE, A NEW VENT PAGE IS STARTED. This is number THIRTY in our series...and it is our TURKEY version - in recognition of ALL the turkeys we have known!

VENT PAGES are handy for posting of off-topic posts, rants, raves, rages, etc which might not be appropriate on other threads where adults are having serious discussions. Childish rant? Need to call another poster a name? Just feel like spouting off? Or even if you have something to say and there doesn't seem to be any other logical place to say it....THIS PAGE IS FOR YOU!

"Liberals Need a Tea Party, Damn It"

The only article I could find that speaks to me on Operation Wall Street is Jonah Goldberg’s “Those Dreamy Anarchists.” in this month’s National Review pp 21-22.  Unfortunately, it does not seem to be online.  Therefore, I will just give some quick quotes which grabbed me. 

"Liberals are open about what they claim to be their motivations:  Liberals need

VOTER ID IN NC? What does the Watauga Democrat Know That We Don't?

From the DEMOCRAT

     "Tuesday marked the last election before the Voter Identification Law comes into play. Hodges does not anticipate that the law, which will require voters to present identification at the polls, will add a lot to her workload."


Apparently either the State Legislature overode Governor Perdue's veto of the Voter ID law and we weren't told about it...............OR the Democrat is predicting that they will do so in time for the next election?

Dedicated Reader Asks My Opinion on Cain

Sarkazein posted: "Impatiently waiting Blogger's opinion on Mr Cain's veracity."

Thanks for asking, but I am sure my response will disappoint you. In my guts, I wish Cain would just fade away. I get a queasy feeling that something just is not ringing true about him and I go with those people who believe that if he had won some previous offices, he would have been well vetted by now.

However, saying that, I feel ashamed of myself that I am willing to throw a man overboard on such flimsy evidence. However, I will commit myself with this. I do believe that if the women can pull off a joint press conference like they are planning, then he is toast. Following is a thoughtful article from a prominent conservative. GOP and Cain
