My latest column from CFIF. First paragraph is here:
Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Florida Democrat, has ripped the scab from a deep wound in American politics. The Left has spent years slinging at conservatives the calumny that we want to block access to the polls by minority groups. The charge is a vile slander. Yet in the space of just two weeks, DNC chiefs have twice gone public with the allegation - race-baiting for all they are worth - in a raw attempt to foment racial tension. Beneath the surface, it’s also an attempt to provide a smokescreen for fraudulent voting.

TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH! Anyone attempting to prevent a legitimate citizen and registered voter from using his/her/their constitutional right to vote should be arrested, tried, sentenced and incarcerated.........period! But, and this is a huge BUT, that is not occurring currently thanks to voting rights laws. My experiences within several states of my residences has only witnessed dedicated poll watchers/officials that make every attempt to make sure that incoming voters are [1]registered on the polling books and [2] that the voting process is explained and understood by them before their vote is made and [3] that their vote is officially and properly recorded/counted. the sleaziness of typical Democrats such as DWS is simply to use RACISM as a tool/weapon for politically intimidating conservatives and Republicans. As Ann Coulter has indicated in her new book, it's all part of the MOB MENTALITY of being Democrats and/or liberals. Rules for Radicals, if you will. Never serious debate/discussion etc concerning issues, but attack, mob style, as if within a war. KILL OR BE KILLED is their motto and their agenda, and make use of their captured power of the MSM to facilitate their propaganda. The American taxpayer-voters, thanks to the uprisings of the tea partiers and to conservative writers, publications, radio/TV commentators etc, should all stand up to these liberals and Democrats and shout, STOP THE BS, TELL THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!

There is no constitutional right to vote.
Oldefarte| 6.10.11 @ 11:18AM
"....Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution From Wikipedia.....The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits any United States citizen to be denied the right to vote based on sex. It was ratified on August 18, 1920.The Constitution allows states to determine the qualifications for voting, and until the 1910s most states disenfranchised women. The amendment was the culmination of the women's suffrage movement, which fought at both state and national levels to achieve the vote. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton drafted the amendment and first introduced it in 1878; it was forty-one years later, in 1919, when the Congress submitted the amendment to the states for ratification. A year later, it was ratified by the requisite number of states, with Tennessee's ratification being the final vote needed to add the amendment to the Constitution.The Nineteenth Amendment was unsuccessfully challenged in Leser v. Garnett (1922). In that case, the Supreme Court rejected claims that the amendment was unconstitutionally adopted. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation......"

Umm, Oldefarte, you probably know this already, but we're already in a civil war. There's no "as if." The only question is whether the war turns hot or stays relatively peaceful.
The totalitarian left plays a zero sum game. There's no room for dissent, there's no room for any opposition, loyal or otherwise. Recall Il Duce Nero's "Republicans get to the back of the bus" statement. That back of the bus would be a Gulag if he had his way, and Wasserman-Schulz would be a smily-faced camp guard, shoveling your children into the gas ovens, or in front of the firing squads. But first, the majority of Americans must be disarmed, starved of energy and money, and turned into willing, stupid little socialist slaves. That process is well under way. The next step is either open, hot civil war, or Zimbabwe, followed by Cuba.
I realize you're probably on the same page, but just a reminder of where we are and what the desired "progression" of the progressives really is.
Whining "racism" at us whenever their goals and objectives are thrust into the light of day is a small symptom of a much, much larger and more dangerous effort.

Yes, DC, I know that we're already in a civil war, have been so for most of my substantial adult life, and truth be told, a WAR THAT WE ARE LOSING [since liberals/Democrats have controlled politically this nation's governmental process, the MSM, and uses its armored division of Hollywood to propagandize/braainwash our children and a SCOTUS to judicate what they cannot legislate. I'm also aware of how utterly STUPID [not ACTING STUPIDLY either] the American people/voters are, as demonstrated by their actions of 11/2/08. PS, for all those here interested, as backup for Quin's typically informative article, see the following Newsmax news article detailing a Rasmussen poll demonstrating/proving that a majority of Americans favor a required ID for voting purposes:
" NewsmaxRasmussen Poll: 75% Support Photo IDs for Voters Thursday, June 9, 2011 12:28 PM
By: Henry J. Reske Support for requiring voters to produce photo IDs before casting their ballots remains strong as more states push to enact such measures. A new poll from Rasmussen Reports found that 75 percent support such measures, with previous polls showing support as high as 82 percent. Support for laws that require producing a document such as a driver’s license crosses political boundaries with strong majority support among Republicans, Democrats and independents. Republicans support the idea by 85 percent; Democrats, 63 percent; and independents, 77, Rasmussen’s June 6-8 survey of 1,000 likely voters found. Only 18 percent oppose such laws.Support for such laws has ranged from 75 percent to 82 percent since June 2006, Rasmussen notes.Supporters believe the laws will decrease fraud, while opponents see them as suppressing minority and elderly American votes. Those surveyed, by a 48 to 29 percent margin, said letting ineligible people vote is a bigger problem than preventing legitimate voters from voting. Just 1 percent of those polled say they have ever been denied the right to vote.Regardless, only 54 percent think elections are fair, and 53 percent think members of Congress get re-elected because rules favor incumbents. © Newsmax.

When Liberals are unable to rationally argue a point they always turn to racism or other "isms".
The argument that voter id prevents poor and minorities from voting is a stupid. If the poor and minorities don't have proper ids how on earth can they get aid, welfare, cash a paycheck, receive social security, drive a vehicle, etc. If there really poor and minority people who do not have id couldn't these libtards take it upon themselves to help these people get ids? Apparently not.
PattyMor| 6.9.11 @ 1:27PM
You know you are getting at the truth when they bring out the charge of racism. Its the bottom of the barrel for a party that has devolved into the lowest of the low.

A modest proposal: If you are a government employee at any level, local, state or federal, you cannot vote in an election for office for that level.
TrueBlue| 6.9.11 @ 6:18PM
Sadly since military members are employed by the federal government this would mean nobody in the military could vote for anything other than state officials for the state that is marked as their home of record. Not cool by any stretch of the imagination.
I do support the motion would require showing ID in order to vote, but it brings to mind the question; What about absentee ballots? Since that's the primary means of voting for people deployed overseas I'm wondering how that'd work. Would we set up voting centers in the various deployed duty stations and have them sent enmasse back stateside for counting?

Maybe another state will take Ms Debbie. Florida doesn't want her. Dems will fight voter ID at every election. It would stop their wholesale voter fraud in its tracks. Democrats want to win elections by every dirty trick they can muster. They have been doing it for years. I was a Democrat for years, but finally could not tolerate the constant move to the left and the loss of morals. Now I am a happy conservative Republican.
