Democrats Disenfranchise American Citizens

Any time you hear Democrats lecturing the citizenry about an issue such as bullying or voter suppression, you can damn well bet that’s exactly what they’re doing. Only in the libtard world can Voter ID and gerrymandered districts be considered a conspiracy to disenfranchise black people. But if you want to know whose vote is truly being suppressed, all you have to do is look at our illegal alien problem and you’ll see it’s the American citizen.


Illegal aliens don’t have the right to vote, but their numbers are so large that they take congressional delegations away from law-abiding states. This allocation influences presidential elections by way of the Electoral College. Shouldn’t that be considered voter suppression? Am I missing something?


Then we have the added bonus of congressmen from these illegal alien districts advocating for more illegal immigration and using taxpayer largess to aid and abet these vocal diasporas. How is this not disenfranchising American voters? There is only one political party that benefits from this blatant devaluation of citizenship and that’s the Democrats.


There’s another element of devaluation and that is the demonization of our culture, traditions and history. If history were taught, students would recognize today’s Democrats mirror the methods of the Radicals in the 19th century. That maybe the reason history is gradually being phased out of our public education system.


Today’s radicals are mimicking their counterparts who instigated the War of Northern Aggression. There were Progressives back then who wanted to control and manipulate the population and the easiest way to do that was to disenfranchise the citizenry. Two years before the war was over, these radicals plotted hegemonic rule in the South. Part of that plan was to grant the franchise to illiterate freedmen while at the same time disenfranchising competent southerners who participated in the “rebellion.” Northern hegemony impoverished the South for generations well after the Great Depression.


In 1890, Governor Wade Hampton of South Carolina lamented this allowance of “so large a mass of ignorant voters” to control government was “a great crime against humanity, civilization, and Christianity.” He also stated the following:


In their senseless advocacy of universal suffrage, they not only thrown wide open the doors leading to American citizenship, admitting thus the Anarchist, the Communist, the Nihilist, and all the other scum of European nations, but they have injected into our body politic millions of ignorant, uneducated blacks, who have no more comprehension of our system of government than their African forefathers had.


The endgame is the same, Progressives are in the process of replacing the citizenry with people who’re more compliant to their worldview. Life, liberty and property are meaningless to people who have no understanding of the American creed and the responsibility that comes with it.  And that's the very definition of a Democratic Party voter.

North Carolina Democrats Disenfranchise Primary Voters

Leave it to the federal judiciary to screw up a state’s primary.  A three judge panel has ruled North Carolina’s 1^st and 12^th Congressional Districts have violated the Voting Rights Act.  Their ruling could delay or stop elections scheduled in March. 

This is a travesty.  North Carolina’s General Assembly has litigated and won, on multiple occasions, the redrawing of congressional districts against a handful of politically motivated malcontents.  What’s laughable are their protestations of the 12^th Congressional District which was drawn back in the 1990’s by Democrats for the benefit of Mel Watt.  Now it’s a problem?  I used to be in that district until the Democrats gerrymandered my area out of it.

Senator Bob Rucho and Rep. David Lewis, both republicans, have vowed to appeal this ruling to the Supreme Court.  Here is their joint statement:

We are surprised and disappointed by the trial court’s 11^th-hour decision that throws an election already underway into turmoil.  Should this decision be allowed to stand, North Carolina voters will no longer know how or when they will get to cast their primary ballots in the presidential, gubernatorial, congressional, and legislative elections. And thousands of absentee voters may have already cast ballots that could be tossed out. This decision could do far more to disenfranchise North Carolina voters than anything alleged in this case. We are confident our state Supreme Court made the right decision when it upheld the maps drawn by the General Assembly and approved by the Obama Justice Department, and we will move swiftly to appeal this decision.

Democrats are always bitching about republicans trying to disenfranchise voters, which is a complete joke.  Isn’t their lawsuit the ultimate means of voter suppression?  Haven’t they, by their actions, disenfranchised North Carolinians from having a say in the primaries?

Democrats Threaten Voters Across the Country

Democrats are showing their true nature.  Big brother is watching you and you’d better vote for us or be shamed.  Sheeple are receiving threatening letters across the country, including North Carolina.

Voters in at least four counties – Wake, Durham, Orange and New Hanover – report receiving two different versions of letters from the [Democratic] party. One gives them a “report card” on their prior voting history – most are deemed “average” – while the other suggests the voter in question would be surveyed as to whether or not they cast a ballot in this year’s general election.

The letters use Democratic Party logos, and the survey letter is signed by Patsy Keever, who is given the title of “election day coordinator” on the letter. Keever is a former state representative who is a vice chairwoman of the North Carolina Democratic Party.  The letters carry a disclaimer that they were “Paid for by the North Carolina Democratic Party.

These are the same people who are against voter ID because it’s too intrusive?  I believe democrats have a bigger problem than that.

Dems Dumbstruck on Hillary Clinton's Achievements

These are the same morons who gave us Barack Obama.

Democracy and Political Ignorance

Political junkies are well aware of the ignorance of the common voter when it comes to politicians and their policies.  The majority of the electorate dons their party’s jersey and pulls the lever every other November without understanding the consequences of their vote.  Carolina Journal Radio discusses this problem with a professor from George Mason University.

RALEIGH — If you’ve ever questioned the quality of our politicians and their policies, you might want to consult the work of Ilya Somin, professor of law at George Mason University. During a recent speech at Campbell University, Somin offered highlights from his forthcoming book Democracy and Political Ignorance. Somin discussed the book with Mitch Kokai for Carolina Journal Radio. (Click here to find a station near you or to learn about the weekly CJ Radio podcast.)

Kokai: What’s the basic message in Democracy and Political Ignorance?

Somin: The basic message is that the level of political knowledge in the electorate overall is very low and that this is not simply a consequence of people being stupid or the information not being available. It’s a consequence of perfectly rational and understandable behavior that even smart people engage in. And, ultimately, the way to best reduce the magnitude of this problem is to reduce the role of government in society and also to decentralize it more than it is today.

Kokai: Why are we so ignorant about politics?

Somin: Obviously, all of us are ignorant necessarily about the vast majority of the knowledge that exists in the world. We have to be. Our brains are limited, and our time is limited. And with politics, as with everything else, we are more likely to learn information if there is actually some benefit or some advantage to learning it. And if your only reason to become informed about politics is to be a better voter — to decide whether Romney or Obama, for example, will be the best president of the United States — that turns out to be very little incentive because the chance that your vote will actually make a difference to the outcome of an election is infinitesimally small, maybe one in 60 million in a presidential election.

So if you’re not interested in politics for its own sake, if you don’t find political information to be a lot of fun, then you’re probably going to acquire only a very small amount of political knowledge because you know, at least intuitively, that it won’t make much difference, just as for the very same reason you’re not going to learn much about theoretical physics because you know it’s not fun to learn that information and it’s not going to be useful to you in your life. There are no decisions that you are going to make, probably, in your life which will turn on your knowledge of physics, at least no decisions that actually will make a difference to you and your family and the like.

Kokai: If most of us are ignorant about politics, how does that impact elections?

Somin: I think it impacts it in a couple of different ways. One is as between the candidates that actually exist, often voters decide based on ignorance. A good example is they often credit or blame incumbents for things they didn’t cause. So, for instance, when there is a drought, for example, incumbents are likely to be voted out even though obviously they didn’t cause the drought. On the other hand, when the local sports team does well, that increases the mayor’s or the governor’s chance of being re-elected even though in most cases they didn’t cause that, either. Also, incumbents are repeatedly rewarded or punished for trends in the world economy, which they didn’t cause.

But the deeper and more important effect is not just about what decision we make between the candidates who are put before us, but on what choices we have in the first place. Obviously the parties are not stupid. They’re trying to put candidates before us and platforms before us that have the best possible chance of winning. And the platforms that have a better chance of winning with an ignorant electorate often are very different and of worse quality in various ways than the ones that might be more successful if the electorate were more knowledgeable.

So the problem is not just between choosing between Tweedledum and Tweedledee or between Democrats and Republicans. The problem is that how ignorant we are affects what choices are put before us to begin with.

Kokai: Some people will hear what you say and respond, “Well, let’s make people more knowledgeable about politics.”

Somin: Obviously, that’s the solution that many people have advocated. There are a couple of problems with it. One is simply, empirically, we’ve tried this, and it hasn’t worked very well. For instance, education levels have risen enormously for the last 50 or 60 years, the percentage of people who go to college or get high school diplomas and so on is much higher than it was before. It’s even the case that IQ levels have risen enormously. But political knowledge levels have remained roughly the same. So it seems that just making people more educated doesn’t necessarily make them more knowledgeable about politics.

In addition, given the enormous size, scope, and complexity of modern government, it’s difficult or impossible to get any large fraction of the population to be informed about more than a small percentage of this information. In the United States today, government spending at all levels accounts for nearly 40 percent of our gross domestic product, and that doesn’t account for all sorts of other government activities that are not on the budget. So even if voters knew more than they do today, significantly more, they would still only be knowledgeable about a small fraction of what government does.

Finally, of course, political ignorance also applies to education policy. Given that the electorate is often ignorant about what’s going on in education policy, as in other areas of policy, the government actually doesn’t have much incentive to run education policy in such a way as to increase political knowledge. If anything, they often have an incentive to the opposite: to use education policy to indoctrinate people in whatever beliefs are preferred by political incumbents or by influential interest groups. And you see this kind of thing playing itself out in education policy both in the U.S. and many other counties as well.

Kokai: You contrast the process we use when we buy a television set with the process we use to choose a president.

Somin: Buying a TV or buying a car versus buying a presidential candidate, if you will. When we buy the TV or the car, we do two things differently from when we vote for president. One is we tend to acquire more information. We spend much more time on those decisions, most of us, than on voting decisions. Secondly, we tend to be less biased in the way we evaluate what we do know.

I mentioned earlier that some people acquire political information for the purpose not of becoming better voters, but just because they find it to be fun. They’re political fans just in the way that many people are sports fans and acquire information about sports teams not because they want to influence the outcome of games or they think that they can influence the outcome. It’s because it’s fun to cheer for your team.

The problem is when you’re acquiring knowledge to cheer for your team or cheer against the bad guy, so to speak, you’re not going to be very objective in the way you evaluate the information. You’re not going to seek out opposing points of view. You’re going to be highly biased. And the data show that is, in fact, the way most of us process political information, particularly those of us who are most interested in politics and therefore act most like fans in our behavior. When, on the other hand, we make decisions where we know what we do will actually make a difference, the outcome, we certainly don’t completely eliminate all our biases, but we work harder against them.

So notice just everyday social norms. People hate it when their political views are criticized. If you explain to me why I am wrong about politics, I’m going to be resentful and annoyed. That’s why there is a norm against arguing about politics in polite company. On the other hand, if you point out to me where I could get a better deal on a new car or TV, I’ll be very grateful. Right? So our attitudes toward these things reflect a difference between a decision where we know what we do has little effect on the outcome, so we don’t try very hard to be unbiased, versus one where we know our decision does make a difference, so we welcome new points of view, at least more so than we would otherwise.

Kokai: And you would take account of voter ignorance by having a smaller government. How so?

Somin: I don’t sketch out a detailed trajectory, but I do give some evidence that it’s at least possible to achieve this. Just in the last 20 or 30 years several advanced democracies have successfully greatly reduced the role of government in their societies. Our neighbor Canada is a good example. It used to be Canada was a much less free-market nation than the United States, and now it’s more of one actually than we are. That’s partly because our government has grown but partly because they shrank theirs. Other good examples include New Zealand, Ireland, and there are several other cases of significant shrinkage in the size, scope, and complexity of government.

NC Director is Happy to Allow the Criminally Insane and Mentally Retarded to Vote

North Carolina made national news when it was reported the criminally insane and the mentally retarded were casting votes in the 2012 general election.  The director of these facilities stated he is proud to allow the incompetent to vote, and will continue the "diseased of mind" to have a say in the electoral process.  Carolina Journal reported the following:

J. Luckey Welsh, director of the Division of State Operated Healthcare Facilities at the Department of Health and Human Services, told Carolina Journal there are about 3,000 people residing in the state facilities. Voting records obtained by CJ showed only 73 individuals from six facilities cast votes that were accepted for the Nov. 6 election. Sixty-one of those voters were new registrants. “I think we allowed our citizens the right to vote. I am happy we allowed them to do it,” he replied.

Most of the wards in a state mental hospital have been committed.  However, law dictates that the “institutionalized” have rights:

Many residents in state facilities have been declared incompetent by a judge, and have been assigned guardians to make their decisions. A North Carolina law governing persons with the treatment of persons with mental health and developmental disabilities, G.S. 122 C-58, states that “each adult client of a facility keeps the same right as any other citizen of North Carolina to exercise all civil rights, including the right to dispose of property, execute instruments, make purchases, enter into contractual relationships, register and vote, bring civil actions, and marry and get a divorce, unless the exercise of a civil right has been precluded by an unrevoked adjudication of incompetency.”

Based on the above language, some guardians of persons who have been judged incompetent believe their wards have lost the right to vote.

In 1973, then-state Attorney General Robert Morgan’s office issued an opinion saying that the state constitution does not prohibit the incompetent from voting. Since then, North Carolina apparently has allowed persons judged incompetent to vote.

I would say anyone who voted for Barack Obama is an incompetent, but that’s just my personal opinion.  Here are the facilities that allowed the “diseased of mind” to vote; again reported by the Carolina Journal:

Voters by facility

State Board of Elections records examined by CJ show voting activity in six of the 14 facilities.

• J. Iverson Riddle Developmental Center in Morganton: eight voters (five new registrations), all voted by mail.

• Murdoch Developmental Center in Butner: 12 voters (all registered on Oct. 11), 11 early voting, one voted in person on election day.

• Black Mountain Neuro-Medical Treatment Center: four voters (one new registration), all early voting.

• Broughton Hospital in Morganton: 17 voters (12 new registrations), all voted by mail. Registrations totaled 81.

• Central Regional Hospital in Butner: 22 voters (all new registrations), 10 voted by mail, 12 used early voting. Registrations totaled 63.

• Cherry Hospital in Goldsboro: 10 voters (nine new registrations), three voted by mail, six used early voting, one voted in person. Total registrations were 34 with 21 of them new

A Message from Your Local Illegal Alien

Over the past several weeks, representatives from a growing and influential group have been crossing YOUR NATION by bus, telling our story to anyone and everyone who will listen.

We’ve had crowds! And we’ve had the media!

Who are we?

Well, YOU probably call us something negative and nasty, like “illegal aliens," but we much prefer “undocumented worker.”

And now, thanks to President Obama’s amnesty plans for us, we’d much rather you called us “undocumented voters”!

Because that’s exactly what we’re going to be very, very soon; sooner than you think, we promise you.

The media calls our bus the “Undocu-bus.” Isn’t that cute? Almost warm and cuddly. That’s exactly what we want.

You conservatives, well, let us put it this way: all that “law and order” you keep preaching? We just don’t have time for that any longer.

We’ve got a mission and a timetable to keep, and your silly laws like SB-1070 and your “employer sanctions” laws to keep businesses from hiring us just aren’t part of our plan.

Now, who are we really? Our bus is full of day laborers and students, but also immigration activists; in other words, professionals. And we know how to get things done.

Every stop we make across “your country”, we stage rallies and lead chants of “no papers,no fear”, because we aren’t going to let you hold us back any longer.

Yes, America, you DO have jobs we want, and we will work at them for less than you are willing to accept. And yes, we will send that money back home, out of your country, out of your precious economy.

But this isn’t open for debate…this is all bought and paid for with our votes!

We began our tour in Arizona to show you just how unafraid we really are. You don’t scare us anymore. You may have Sheriff Joe, but we have El Presidente, Barack Obama!

And from Arizona we have already driven through New Mexico and Colorado, and through Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. And we aren’t going to stop!

Is there a fear of being arrested because we are undocumented? A little.

But your jails and your government already let’s out violent criminal immigrants, so the risk to us is very, very low.

So what can you do, really? I mean, if we are going to vote, are you?

There’s always the possibility that you might vote in higher numbers than we do… but given the history of recent elections?

And there’s always the possibility that you might get involved with a group like Ban Amnesty Now and their new PAC. Yes, there we see a real threat…because if B.A.N.-PAC elects enough of you conservatives to Congress to undo Presidente Obama’s amnesty for us, then we will have real problems.

And if B.A.N.-PAC elects enough of you conservatives to Congress to secure the border, so the next time I get deported I can’t just walk back across? Another problem again.

But are you so determined to stop me from taking your jobs and stealing your elections that you would give to B.A.N.-PAC and join thousands of other conservatives across your nation to stop illegal immigration and amnesty for undocumented voters like me?

I’m counting on you not to.

Barack Obama is counting on you to sit back and take it. After all, it’s his country, not yours.

Remember, my friend, no paper-no fear!

Sincerely,

America’s undocumented voters

P.S. You can CLICK HERE to join B.A.N.-PAC and stop us… or you can watch us claim another victory. Be sure to come see us when our bus rolls through your town!
