Charlotte, NC — On Tuesday, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper shut down a North Carolina business through a DHHS abatement order. The order forces the immediate closure of the business, which had been operating in defiance of the Governor’s executive order forcing businesses to comply with his authoritarian rule.
The speedway, Ace Speedway in Elon, was not the only speedway in operation in North Carolina. According to the Winston-Salem Journal, approximately 25 race tracks or drag strips in the state had opened for operation. The executive order that is currently in place limits outdoor gatherings to 25 people.
This comes just one week after the Governor defied his executive order while going outside to greet protesters outside the executive mansion. He failed to maintain social distancing and did not wear his mask, as suggested by the executive order. You can see a video of his actions at this link.
One has to question what the Governor is attempting to accomplish here. The abatement order says that the racetrack is a danger to public health and for the potential spread of the coronavirus. Would that not also be the case for those protests?
The stay orders in North Carolina have cost the state millions of dollars. The measures have led to the permanent closing of many state businesses, and the loss of the RNC that was scheduled to be held in Charlotte. Cooper continues to have a selective allowance of what is and is not allowed in the North Carolina economy as he has assumed the role of dictator.
Just a week or so ago, the Democrats were railing against President Trump for what they called authoritarian style actions. They said that it was an overreach by the government to deny these people their constitutional rights to protest. The move was to keep these people from continuing to destroy America’s cities.
Cooper was one of the Democrats who supported the destruction. He openly supported the damage of buildings and said that one should overlook the damage to see the bigger picture. This placed thousands of businesses and lives at risk across his state as he looked the other way.
When it comes to legally operate a business, Cooper has a problem with this. It’s a problem with Democrats in general. They do not mind lawlessness, but have an issue with someone trying to make an honest living.
Across the country, the left is engaging in the double standard actions that we have come to expect, just like Cooper. From Hollywood to Congress, the left’s playbook is to continue to feed lines to the American people, hoping they will not pay attention to what is happening.
Roy Cooper will continue, just like other Democrats, to hide behind some form of social justice cause. In this instance, it will be to continue to “prevent the risk of COVID-19 spread” to those in North Carolina. The argument will be used that cases continue to climb in North Carolina, all the while they ignore the significant increase in tests that the state is performing.
The goal seems to be to control the economic issues until the election. An economic downturn will undoubtedly help Joe Biden. You can already see how the mainstream media has used that in the past few weeks.
