Obama/Holder preparing to steal the election

Obama, Holder preparing to steal the 2012 election right before our eyes

This would be comical if the consequences were not so serious. South Carolina’s legislation provides for free ID cards to be given to anyone who needs it. Not one person — white, black or brown — is discriminated against or discouraged from casting a vote at the ballot box. Moreover, the Supreme Court already has ruled on the issue — upholding state voter ID laws. In the 2008 Crawford v. Marion County Election Board decision, the high court held that an Indiana law mandating photo identification at the voting booth was indeed constitutional. If it is good enough for the Supreme Court and the overwhelming majority of the states, then it should be for Mr. Holder as well.

It isn’t. And the reason is simple: The administration is trying to whip up minority frenzy, propagating the myth of widespread ballot suppression. The goal is to foster a sense of racial persecution of blacks, intending to maximize voter turnout in November. The results, however, will be to poison race relations further. Mr. Holder is cynically playing the race card in order to achieve President Obama’s overriding ambition: re-election.

Racism has nothing to do with states implementing voter ID laws. Rather, it is about protecting the integrity of our electoral system. Voter fraud is rampant; abuses regularly take place. In Chicago, local elections are often marred by ballot stuffing and multiple voting — including by false voters who use the names of deceased individuals. Indiana election officials have found that, during the 2008 Democratic primary, countless pro-Barack Obama and pro-Hillary Rodham Clinton signatures were falsified. In Minnesota, voter fraud enabled Democrat Al Franken to steal the election from incumbent Republican Sen. Norm Coleman. It is precisely to preserve the fundamental basis of our democracy — one person, one vote — that voter ID laws are necessary.

Mr. Holder evidently wants to scuttle ID laws because he knows which organization will be hurt most: ACORN. For years, community activist groups, such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, have engaged in massive electoral fraud — registering illegal aliens, offering bribes to numerous politically disinterested people in the inner cities as inducements to vote and pushing underage and multiple voting. Election reform, therefore, is a stake aimed at the heart of Democratic corruption and ACORN’s power. Clean up the voter rolls and Mr. Obama’s re-election is in serious jeopardy.

The administration is trying to whip up minority frenzy, propagating the myth of widespread ballot suppression.

Bc, hope the AM talk show radio programs are able to meet this challenge with a counter frenzy of their listeners. Armed with their cats and and a rolls of aluminum foil, these informed citizen listeners could be a potent force in halting this Obama/Holder conspiracy.

I can see why people were required to have land or money to vote under old English law. It's their land and money being seized by the federal government. If you're not liable to be making the sacrifice you shouldn't have the right to vote. It's easy to be generous with other peoples money.

Even requiring people to pass a test about basic knowledge of the issues is viewed as asking too much.

Now you don't even need an ID card nor do you have to do it legally.

These are things that Blacks were legally given the right to do/have prior to Mitt Romney's Religion deciding that they were worthy enough to get the same Priesthood rights, powers and priveleges as whites.

Noted legislative achievements during this phase of the Civil Rights Movement were passage of Civil Rights Act of 1964,[1] that banned discrimination based on "race, color, religion, or national origin" in employment practices and public accommodations; the Voting Rights Act of 1965, that restored and protected voting rights; the Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965, that dramatically opened entry to the U.S. to immigrants other than traditional European groups; and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, that banned discrimination in the sale or rental of housing. African Americans re-entered politics in the South, and across the country young people were inspired to action.

It's good to know that the Church leads from the rear...

Great!:) I guess that's why when LBJ declared war on poverty back in the 60s we had a much lower percentage of people living in poverty than we do now. People like to use slavery as an excuse to punish natural born Americans with taxes today based on what our ancestors did a couple centuries ago. Truth be known, these people would have come of their own volition if not by slave ships and the expenses that would result would be just the same.

Yes, attempting to stop an attempt at voter suppression that harkens back to the days of poll taxes and literacy tests is attempting to steal an election.

Ha! The black panther picture in that article is the cherry on top.

[_EAllusion]

by the way, the reasoning in the article could equally be applied to poll taxes and literacy tests. Neither of those banned black people from the polls because they were black. If you were black and could read or pay the tax, you had equal access with everyone else. If you were white and couldn't, you were denied with everyone else. But the reason those policies were adopted was because blacks were disproportionately illiterate and poor, so literacy tests and poll taxes had the effect of making them disproportionately unlikely to vote. That was the intent of the policy - to reduce relative black voter turnout by creating a burden that disproportionately affected them.

That's clearly the basis for the new spate of voter ID laws. It's not aimed at black voter turnout, though. Rather, it is broadly aimed at Democratic voter turnout by going after something that disproportionately affects members of the Democratic coalition (by large margins, actually). It just so happens that minorities is a huge category of those who lack state issued ID's and have more of a hassle getting them. But it's also true of people in urban areas where owning a car and driver's license is less necessary. They tend to lean strongly Democrat as well. It's true of the youth vote, and so on. The goal here was clearly to create a burden to reduce that turnout. As I mentioned in another thread, the Walker administration actually tried shutting down DMV's - you know, where people go to get ID's - in Democratic areas and offered to compensate by extending services in Republican ones. Terrible move by them, though, as that will be a chief piece of evidence in the eventual court decisions on it.
