North Carolina's Stand on Safe Bathrooms /Locker Rooms keeps "The Boss" from Performing in Greensboro | Eastern North Carolina Now

Springsteen joins a lengthening list of Authoritarian 'group think' ideologues threatening North Carolina government's principled approach to preserving the personal liberty of its citizens.

    Rocker Bruce Springsteen, a.k.a. "The Boss", will not perform in North Carolina as long as the state enacts legislation (HB 2) to protect children from being forced to use bathrooms and locker rooms with people of the opposite sex, people who have a misidentification with their own sex - the Transgender. Transgender individuals comprise 3 tenths of one percent of the national population, a figure that has risen in recent years.

    Bruce Springsteen, who hails from Asbury Park, New Jersey, believes that he knows what is best for North Carolina, and used his sudden and unprovoked cancellation of the Greensboro concert to make protest of the NC General Assembly's special session passing of House Bill 2, which stipulates that all genders are required to use the public bathrooms /lockers as ascribed to their biological makeup. The Bill is very specific in this regard, and does not prohibit concerned businesses, private schools and colleges, or other commercial endeavors from having their own transgender bathrooms or promoting that the sexes mix-it-up when using their bathrooms /locker rooms on their premises. For the state government, their vote to affirm HB 2 was a pure question of liberty, and the wider respect of all people's rights, which should always be the first priority of a properly functioning republic.

    Enter Bruce Springsteen and this new cause célèbre to accommodate the rushed politically correct opinion of non affected individuals, who have rallied around the 3 tenths of one percent, whom identify as Transgender. The accepted practiced thought of the Liberals and ultra politically correct is that North Carolina either construct bathrooms /locker rooms on public property, or allow men to allow Transgender individuals with their original biological equipment intact to use the same public bathrooms /locker rooms as their opposite sex, and, in particular prepubescent, boys and girls. The grand hypocrisy is that these Liberals, like "The Boss" Springsteen, hail from places where their legislatures have not been forced to consider a predicament that would have been unthinkable only a decade ago, ergo, in New Jersey, there are no public bathrooms /locker rooms specified for the Transgender, nor is there a public acceptance where men or women, of all ages, are encouraged to use these same public facilities of the opposite sex.

    Why is North Carolina different?

    The mayor and city council of Charlotte, North Carolina, wanted to make a political name for themselves, and, in this silly election season, they knew that the national spotlight would be directed toward them if they provoked the NC General Assembly to reconvene in special session to strike down their Authoritarian action by city ordinance. North Carolina is not a self governing state for counties and corporate municipalities, whereby the general assembly reserves the right to step in to restore order, when local governments, who serve ultimately at their pleasure, stray too far from what is practicable and normal for North Carolina. In fact, as per my telephone conversation with my 3rd district NC House Representative, Michael Speciale (actually I live in the 6th district, but own land in the 3rd, plus we do Michael's website, and I consider him a friend, which is noteworthy because I generally don't respect many politicians), the Charlotte city government was warned that the North Carolina general assembly would take action to reverse their poorly considered ordinance.

    New York governor, Andrew Cuomo, who is proved to be a Simple minded man, and an intolerant man, rushed to the defense of the 3 tenths of one percent of Americans, Transgenders everywhere, to advocate against another state's policy by stopping all public travel to The Old North State ... the root cause of which is none of his "Damn Yankee" business. However, North Carolina governor Pat McCrory, who with I don't always agree, offered a vigorous defense of North Carolina's values juxtaposed against the hypocrite governor Cuomo's Simple New York values:



    And then there was this CNBC interview with Lt. Governor Dan Forest, who I do often agree with, conducted by a guy I often refer to as "Stewie". Poor "Stewie" seems lost in understanding this issue made complex while the Lt. Governor holds back his obvious incredulity:



    So, why then are the intellectually shallow performers, like Bruce Springsteen, and movie directors, like Rob Reiner, swearing off North Carolina unless we build specific public facilities for the Transgender, or force our citizens to share their current public facilities with the opposite sex? It is very simple: Liberals /Authoritarians do not possess the intellectual capacity for governing a free people, and, sadly, today's Liberal /(now) Socialist hasn't that capacity to grasp the larger issues of why a government even exists in the first place - public order and the defense of a free people.

    As America reels near disaster, at home and abroad, from 8 years of the absolute worst, most divisive, and utterly Simple president in modern history, Barack Hussein Obama, the Liberal tends to turn away from the precepts of good government - public order and national defense - to issues that they can better understand: free abortions on demand, climate change, educational indoctrination (at the expense of teaching others to be smarter), promotion of divisive race relations, income inequality (or the promotion of voting Democrat while unemployable), and, now, insuring that children use public facilities where the genitalia of the opposite sex is in plain sight.

    As a patriot; one who has struggled mightily to do their part to save their community, their state and their Republic, I have only one request for the offended performers, so-called artists, and ridiculously politically correct corporations, who have threatened to leave North Carolina: Go! And don't come back. If you don't want to be here; I don't want you here.

    Whatever brought you to North Carolina in the first place was what the state is, who we are, and our general assembly's action on HB 2 represents centuries of what comprises the real North Carolinian, so you are either at odds with your initial directive, or it is your wish to fundamentally change a state that does not need to be changed ... not the way you wish ... to the unprincipled 'group think' that is political correctness. That just ain't gonna happen.

    If it is your intent to threaten to take that exit door to leave North Carolina to damage North Carolina as a form of social and economic extortion (after many of you have raided the tax payers coffers through economic incentives), I, for one request that you be shown that door. Bad, impolite, and, marginally corrupt guests, or citizens should never need to stay in a place where they promote that they are no longer welcome. So please ... just go.

    Possibly, and it may be getting to that point soon, a more principled, more broad thinking patriot, who appreciates the liberty of a free, non fascist, non Authoritarian, non 'group think' society, may find that North Carolina would better suit their desire to raise their children, where they too can work, and live and thrive in a state where freedom is still paramount.

Should Americans be thankful for North Carolinians setting precedent in taking a stand for their state's right to manage the safety of their public facilities, where separation of the sexes remains, or should they follow Bruce Springsteen's lead and boycott the state as bigots since they will not allow grown Transgender men to use the same bathrooms /locker rooms as pre-pubescent girls?
  North Carolina is right to control the separation of the sexes as a matter of decorum and safety.
  North Carolina is a bigoted state to not require that children of opposite sexes share the same public facilities with adults of the opposite sex, although misidentified - the Transgender.
  I generally prefer the natural environs of the vacant, although rather public, large tree.

Absolutely, another one of your fine posts.

But, so much, so much to do, so little time.

I am a very poor novice in Photoshop but it gives me a chance to expand my learning curve in the visual medium.

The one day take more time reminds me of a poem. Perhaps another post is in order.

Outstanding composition, and the photoshop helped you get there.

If you ever wish to do a post on the whole photoshop thing, maybe, I can get my #1 Guy, to show a few of his tricks: beaufortcountynow.com


I don't take the time to do photoshop except to reduce images, and will one day take more time with it, but I have to find the time first.

I did dream this up. It is amazing what an idle mind can come up with given enough time. The picture is a Photoshop Composite created using layers from various images. The point I was trying to make was that Liberals always seem to think the fact that they care is sufficient. I was not trying to make fun of people in that situation. Our time and efforts would be well spent in helping those people who are outside the norm rather than trying to make "touchy feely" gestures to show that we care.

The general idea is combining and scaling of multiple pictures in layers and saving as a jpg file. Writing about the absurd seems to be a common theme for me as any reader of BCN can verify.

One more thing, from a musical standpoint, "The Boss", has been lagging for about 2 decades. He is only still relevant, because people like me, and Governor Christie still forgive his Simple Liberal ass for the stupid stuff he often says or does.

If it were not for his first 3 albums: "Greetings from Asbury Park", The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle" and "Born to Run", all completed before 1975, who would care ... either way.

Damn, Bobby Tony, that's funny.

Did you come up with this, because this is damn funny. I especially liked the whole "keyhole" analogy.

What some stupid corporate CEO's and "artists", and other Liberals don't understand is that there is huge cost component to politically correct Authoritarianism Ergo, Liberals can't do math.

Maybe the proper course of action should have been for "The Boss" to continue with his concert and donate the proceeds to a fund to construct appropriate restrooms for the North Carolina residents who are in need of the facilities. I would expect the NC government to present a bill to him for cost associated with the preparation and cancellation of his concert. I have no idea about Mr. Springsteen's charitable donations, which could be considerable so my criticism could be misplaced.

Failing that Charlotte could present 'The Boss' with a Key to the city; or maybe a Keyhole. I am confused on the gender specifics of the Key and Lock analogy.
