There Is Responsibility Involved In Voting

Jul 8, 2011 Political

Bill Clinton is upset by proposed laws in Florida and New Hampshire. Those laws would not allow people from other states, who happen to be attending college in these two states, to register to vote in the states. The law would require them to vote in their home states.

Clinton likens this to Jim Crow laws. This is nothing more than rhetoric designed to inflame the issue, which really should be a non-issue.

The members of our military who are stationed in a state other than their state of residence are not allowed to register to vote in the states in which they are stationed. They use a little thing called an absentee ballot. They request one, fill it out, and send it in. Then Democrats work really hard to have them discounted.

College kids from all states should be required to do the same thing. This IS the reason we have an absentee ballot process.

What Clinton fails to understand (as do many Democrats) is that voting requires a bit of personal responsibility. Now I know Democrats are not big on personal responsibility (and one only needs to look at Clinton to see that) but it is required nonetheless.

If college students can’t request an absentee ballot, fill it out, and mail it in then they do not need to vote. This is not an undue burden and it certainly does not rise to the level of Jim Crow.

What is it with Democrats and voting? Why do they claim ID requirements will disenfranchise people when the very people they claim will be disenfranchised need IDs to collect from the many government programs from which they benefit?

Why is it some kind of burden for people to fill out an absentee ballot if they will not be home on election day?

This all requires people to be responsible for their vote. If they can’t do that then they do not need to vote.

Hell, will we have to spoon feed them next to ensure they eat properly?

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Justice Department Sanctions Voter Fraud

Jun 3, 2009 Political

Eric Holder’s Department of Justice handed down a ruling stating that the state of Georgia had to stop asking for proof of citizenship to register to vote. The Justice Department gave the same lame arguments that are always given when one speaks of proving eligibility to vote; it will disenfranchise minorities. I guess minorities don’t have a birth certificate or a Social Security number in addition to the ID they never seem to be able to get. Given that Obama has refused to release his birth certificate it is not surprising that voters in Georgia would not be required to show one.

This is nothing more than a ruling to help people who should not vote do just that. This ruling will allow illegals to register. The opponents claim there were over 7000 people flagged who turned out to be eligible to vote. Perhaps there is a larger problem. Did someone else have the same Social Security number? Did the birth certificate not have the raised seal? Who knows but it appears as if the problems were cleared up. Seems to me that these folks were flagged and upon further investigation they were cleared. Isn’t this how things should work?

Not under the Obama Justice Department run by Holder. Under that corrupt organization voter intimidation is excused because the criminals involved were Obama supporters. The New Black Panthers violated the Voting Rights Act but were not prosecuted because they have many branches around the country and they support Obama. Can’t go ticking off the supporters especially when they might be needed to intimidate white voters in the future. They also can’t go ticking off the illegal voter population if they want to win.

Georgia is one of two states required to get Justice approval for voting issues because of Jim Crow law problems of the past. That requirement is up before the Supreme Court and if all goes well they will remove the requirement so Georgia can run its own program without interference from the criminals at Justice.

But until then Georgia must allow anyone who wants to register to vote to do so without any proof of citizenship. Citizenship is a requirement to vote but it is a pesky nuisance for Democrats so they work around the requirement.

Voting is an important civic duty and everyone who is eligible should be allowed to do so under our current laws. I have problems with people who have no stake in the country voting in it but the law says they can. But we should make absolutely certain that the people who are voting are eligible.

We need to prove citizenship for many things. One must prove citizenship to get a job (though Democrats make that a hazy process to accommodate illegals), one must prove citizenship (or legal status) to join the military, Americans must prove citizenship (with a passport) to get back in the country, one must have ID to rent a movie, cash a check, board a plane and to buy cigarettes or alcohol. Why is it so difficult to prove one is a citizen in order to register to vote and to show ID when voting?

I am tired of the bogus arguments about people not having ID. People have birth certificates and most people have a Social Security number. The downtrodden that the Democrats always feign worry for are never put out when ID is needed for government benefits. People who show up to apply for any of the various welfare programs have to show ID and by some miracle they always seem to have it. Yet, the act of voting puts some undue burden on them.

It would seem from this list that proof of citizenship or an ID is required for everything except running for president and voting. Funny how the Democrats always seem to defend the flaws in the systems, flaws that make it easier to commit fraud. Then again, the Democratic Party is the one all the dead people vote for. They are in line right next to the illegals.

Maybe people should start complaining about having to get a passport to reenter from Canada or Mexico. This is an undue burden on people. How dare the government require proof of citizenship to enter the country when it will affect so many people.

Democrats Put Up The Whites Only Sign

Jan 7, 2009 Political

Democrat Harry Reid has refused to allow Roland Burris, the man selected by Governor Blagojevich to fill Obama’s Senate seat, to enter the Capitol. Burris arrived today and was not allowed to enter and therefore was not allowed to swear in. Burris was legally selected to fill the slot but the Democrats do not want to seat anyone selected by Blagojevich.

Perhaps this runs a little deeper. Burris is a black man and Harry Reid is reported to have contacted Blagojevich and told him that the three blacks in consideration for the job (prior to all the pay to play stuff) were not desired and he recommended two non blacks for the position. Once the pay to play scam was exposed Reid said that anyone selected by Blagojevich would be unacceptable. Reid has also stated that Blagojevich is lying about the conversation but I bet that Reid became a little worried when he found out that Blagojevich was being recorded. If Reid did make that call and did say those things, it will be on tape. The down and dirty though, appears to be that Reid and the Democrats do not want to seat a black man.

They were all calling for Franken to be seated and he does not have the paper that Burris is lacking. That did not stop Reid and Schumer from saying that Franken should be immediately seated (even though it would violate Minnesota law). I wonder why two whites were acceptable but none of the three blacks were. I also wonder why Reid will not seat Burris, a black man, without the proper papers but wanted to seat Franken, a white man, who lacks the same paperwork?

It would appear that the racist roots of the Democrats are showing through. The Democrats fought for slavery and against civil rights. The KKK was an arm of the Democrats and Jim Crow laws came from them as well. The Democrats have a long history of racism and now it is showing once again.

Make no mistake, I was against the idea that this seat had to go to a black person. I wrote earlier that the black community was up in arms about possibly losing the black seat when the seat has no color. The person the governor thinks is best qualified (or in Blagojevich’s case has the most money) would get the seat regardless of color. My opposition was to the idea that the seat belonged to the blacks and had to go to a black person.

In the case of Reid it appears that he and the Democrats do not want it to go to a black person at all. As stated, I don’t care what color the person is so long as his color is not the determining criteria.

In 2007, Vernon Jordan said that Republicans had a Whites Only sign on their tent. He made this accusation because the leading candidates for president decided to skip a debate at Morgan State University in Baltimore. The school is a black university in Baltimore so it is full of liberal blacks who vote greater than 90% for the Democrat. Couple that with the fact that Obama, a black man, was running and there is no way in hell that the students were going to vote for a Republican, especially a white one. So why waste time debating in front of people who will not vote for you?

I guess if we are to use Jordan’s logic, the Democratic tent in the Senate has a big Whites Only sign on it. Harry Reid and his Democrats denied access to a black man who was duly appointed as a Senator by a governor who had the legal right to do so. They claimed it was a paperwork issue but they were willing to ignore paperwork and let white guy Al Franken in. It is obviously racist and reflects the attitude of the Democrats.

Now that the Democrats have a larger majority there will probably be whites only water fountains and rest rooms and blacks will not be allowed to sit at the lunch counters in the Capital’s cafeteria. Next thing you know Harry Reid is going to have one of those little black jockey lawn ornaments in front of the Capital and I look for Robert Byrd to don his KKK sheets. For some reason blacks seem not to mind this guy even though in 1944 he said:

I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side… Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds. Wikipedia

Harry Reid must have consulted with Byrd before he took a decision on Burris. I guess they will never serve in the Senate with a negro by their side and would rather die a thousand times and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see the Senate degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds…..

Of course, Democrats do not mind seeing Old Glory trampled at any time.

Mr. Burris, good luck to you. I don’t know why you are a Democrat. Look how they are treating you. Now you know in what regard they hold the blacks who vote for them time and time again.

Maybe sir, it is time to get off that plantation.
