Texas, Ignore The Court And Do What You Want
Jul 20, 2016 2016 Election, Political
Texas has had a strict voter ID requirement since 2011 and the Obama administration challenged it in court. Today the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law violates the Voting Rights Act and instructed a lower court to make changes to fix the discriminatory effect of the law with as little impact on this year’s election as possible.
The Constitution describes voting in several amendments and they state Congress can write laws to carry out the things described in those amendments. Those amendments talk about when a right to vote can be denied or abridged. This is not the case with regard to ID laws. No one is denying or abridging the right to vote. A person must simply provide ID to do so.
As liberal courts are eager to state with regard to the Second Amendment, reasonable restrictions can be applied to it and to all rights. That is why courts have allowed restrictions to be applied to the Second Amendment (most of which are actually unconstitutional). So if reasonable restrictions can be applied (most people would not argue that a background check for a non-private firearm sale is unreasonable) then it is not out of the question to require ID to vote. It is a REASONABLE restriction.
[note]Evidently, the law is discriminatory because it has a short list of IDs that are acceptable. The list looks about the same as the list required to prove citizenship when applying for a job. Does this mean the requirement to show ID (and prove citizenship) when applying for a job is discriminatory?[/note]
There is nothing discriminatory about asking for ID before allowing someone to vote, period. It matters not what any court or President says about it, asking for an ID is not discriminatory at all.
The unions Obama loves so much require IDs before anyone can vote in union elections. One must show an ID to get on a plane and that is not deemed discriminatory.
Neither is showing ID to buy alcohol or tobacco, registering kids for school or sports programs and it is definitely not deemed discriminatory to show ID to get into a government building.
None of these acts requiring ID would be deemed discriminatory based on the types of ID deemed acceptable…
Texas should probably tell the court thanks but we will do things our way. This is our law and this is what we are going to do. If you want to vote here then you need to follow the law, period.
In other words, Texas should tell them to stick it because ID laws are reasonable and the list of acceptable IDs is not prohibitive.
As an aside, please don’t blast me with the idea that poor people can’t get an ID (even from the short list). Practically everyone needs an ID for some aspect of life and the poor seem to be able to get an ID to get welfare…
Cave canem!

Obama Supports Voter ID
Jun 27, 2013 Political
But only in Africa.
It is well known that Barack Obama does not support voter ID laws in the US. He and his administration have fought every attempt at voter ID since he was elected. Hell, the lack of voter ID and the corruption of groups like ACORN are responsible for his election and reelection.
Without voter fraud Democrats have a hard time winning.
Obama was beside himself when the Supreme Court struck down part of the Voting Rights Act because that removed a weapon the regime had to force states into lax voter conditions. Now states will not be held to a decades old standard that probably no longer applies.
Texas jumped right in and reintroduced its voter ID requirement moments after the decision. Liberals screamed about an activist court (like one that negates the will of the people in Prop 8) and lamented about how horrible this all is. Liberals do not like voter ID because it makes it harder to cheat.
But while Obama is on his African vacation (where he will not visit his place of birth) he made a comment about the voter ID laws in Africa. He likes what they have done and the fact they have spent million of dollars to get young people ID cards, a prerequisite to voting.
Funny how Obama is all for things for other people but not the citizens of the US. He likes voter ID in Africa but not at home. He is arming the Syrian rebels (the citizens fighting against the government) but wants to disarm the American citizens [the subject of whether the animals in Syria should be armed is a different discussion].
It seems to me that there should be a huge push for voter ID laws in this country and we can cite Obama’s own words for support. As for the gun issue, he can try to take them but will fail miserably. We decided that issue in 1776 and we remember how we did it.
Cave canem!

Democrats Admit Voter Fraud Exists
Sep 10, 2012 Political
Today the Democrat party in the state of Maryland reported that its candidate for US Representative in the 1st Congressional District would be withdrawing from the race against freshman Congressman Andy Harris. The reason given is that Wendy Rosen was registered to vote in the state of Maryland AND the state of Florida. Not only was she registered in both states, she voted in both states in the same election.
The Democrats reported it because they are concerned, or so they say, with voter laws and the sanctity of the vote. I think they probably discovered this, figured if they did the Republicans had and would wait until after anyone else could be selected to replace her and then release it. Since the Democrats released the information and Rosen has withdrawn she can now be replaced.
Lost in all this is the admission by Democrats that voter fraud takes place. Let’s face it, there is no way this was a mistake. This woman had to know what she was doing. If by some remote chance she was unable to recall voting in one state while voting in another than she was not capable of holding office anyway.
No, the only explanation is that she intended to commit fraud (and the Democrats turned the evidence over to the appropriate authorities though in Maryland she will likely get an award) and voted in both states on purpose. By exposing this crime the Democrats have admitted to all of us that voter fraud takes place and in this case involved one of their candidates (I wonder how many more they have doing this).
We need a way for states to check to see if anyone is registered in another state and we need laws requiring an ID. While Democrats fight every state that enacts laws designed to make fraud tougher one of their own is caught red handed, though long after the fact.
They need to make an example of this woman to send a message to others.
And we need tougher laws to ensure this does not happen.

Requiring An ID Is Racist And Discriminates Against The Poor
Sep 4, 2012 Political
This has been the rallying cry among the left and its surrogates who oppose any kind of law that requires an ID to vote. Voting is one of the most important civil exercises in which people participate and it is important to ensure only those who are entitled to vote do so. This is not acceptable to the liberal left and the reason is simple. Yes, the left claims that the ID requirement is racist and affects minorities and poor people but the reality is the left opposes ID laws because those laws make it more difficult for people to cheat.
Democrats have a long history of ballot box stuffing, suddenly finding enough ballots to push a Democrat over the edge and allowing the illegal aliens as well as the dead to vote. These are undeniable truths and this is why liberals oppose voter ID laws.
The unions are heavily involved in Democrat vote cheating schemes and the union bosses oppose voter ID requirements. This is ironic because unions require an ID before anyone can vote in union elections. That’s right, whenever unions have a vote on an issue the people who want to vote MUST show an ID.
It is important to unions that people who are not supposed to vote on an issue are kept from doing so. Strangely, unions do not feel the same way when it comes to the integrity of the election process in this country.
The Democrats oppose voter ID BUT the Democrats require a government issued ID be presented to attend the Democrat National Convention. Yep, if you want to attend that event you will have to present a valid ID. Obviously the Democrats want to preserve the sanctity of their convention but have little regard for the integrity of the elections in the country.
Democrats have called the voter ID schemes racist and have made bizarre claims that people will not be able to get IDs and those people will be the poor and minorities who tend to vote Democrat.
The people attending the Democrat Convention tend to vote Democrat and must show an ID to attend. This begs the question; are Democrats racist and are they trying to disenfranchise and exclude minorities and poor people?
One must show an ID to enter a government building, get on a plane, buy alcohol or tobacco, register for school, join the military, register for sports, cast union votes and enter the Democrat Convention but an ID to vote in an election is somehow a burden.
The reason voter ID is opposed is clear. Democrats cheat and they do not want barriers to their illegal voting schemes erected.
The time to reform is now. States need to pass laws requiring an ID to vote and states need to tell the federal courts that they do not intend to follow any ruling that removes a voter ID requirement. States need to reassert their power over the federal government and we the people need to show them who their bosses are.
We are in charge and they work for us.
We need to dictate the rules and they need to mind their own business.
Remember, requiring an ID is like raping someone…
Cave canem!

Why Do We Have Selective ID Requirements?
Mar 16, 2012 Political
This video demonstrates the lunacy of claiming voter ID laws keep the poor from voting. It also clearly shows why Democrats oppose such laws. Remember, the lie about the poor (or minorities) not having IDs is the red herring. The real reason is to keep Democrats in power by allowing those who are not allowed to vote to do so. The state has no problem asking for ID for many other things.
In this video we see people going to the polls and using the names of dead people. They are allowed to vote and are told they do not need ID even though many of them ask if they should show one. The people never voted. They said they wanted to go get their IDs and left probably to avoid breaking the law. Democrats love dead voters. And they are not the only ones. One could use the name of any registered voter and vote in that person’s name as demonstrated.
Then the video has the same people trying to buy an alcoholic beverage and being asked for ID. They go into great lengths to express they are too poor to afford an ID and don’t have one and that the poor are being discriminated against with regard to alcohol purchases.
Another portion shows the same person trying to get a hotel room without an ID. The same rant is used but the person is denied.
In this video the people are told they need an ID to get an alcoholic beverage or a hotel room and they are denied because they lack an ID.
In neither case are they breaking the law.
But, when they go to vote they are told they do not need an ID and then proceed to demonstrate how easy it would be to break the law and cast illegal votes.
This is why we need voter ID. And the poor (and minorities) can get IDs. How else do they get hotel rooms or booze (or tobacco products)? Tobacco and alcohol use is higher among the poor (and minorities). How is that so if they don’t have IDs?
Cave canem!
