Universal Voter Registration – Rigging the Vote

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
Hat Tips: Nancy Jacques and Jean Stoner

“What does universal voter registration mean? It means all state laws will be overridden by a federal mandate. At that point you will have destroyed the integrity of the registration process. This is their stealth bill . . . it is even more sneaky than the healthcare bill.”

John Fund, Wall Street Journal

It would seem that the Democrats (specifically Chuckie Schumer and Barney Frank) have devised a way to stay in power regardless of what they do – Americans be damned… According to John Fund at The Wall Street Journal, the Democrats are intent on Universal Voter Registration. From Maggie’s Notebook:

In January, Chuck Schumer and Barney Frank will propose universal voter registration. What is universal voter registration? It means all of the state laws on elections will be overriden by a federal mandate. The feds will tell the states: ‘take everyone on every list of welfare recipients that you have, take everyone on every list of unemployed you have, take everyone on every list of property owners, take everyone on every list of driver’s license holders and register them to vote regardless of whether they want to be…’

This means that illegal immigrants and felons will be registered to vote and with their large numbers and the unions minions, the Democrats feel that they can out-number all other voter categories. Felons have already been given the green light to vote in the state of Washington. This is getting ready to happen right here and now. They are going to shove this through to prevent American voters from righting the system and voting the scum bags out. More from Maggie’s Notebook:

Leftist groups are already arguing that universal voter registration will solve all the problems with our voting system. But the left created most of these problems. The radical leftist Nation magazine, for example, absolutely loves the idea of universal voter registration. This is the same magazine, however, that advanced Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven’s Manufactured Crisis strategy. The Cloward/Piven strategy was designed to undermine government institutions by overwhelming them with impossible demands for services. Cloward and Piven focused on welfare, housing and voting as the main targets of this strategy, and the radical group ACORN was specifically created for the purpose of executing it.

Now you see a number of things coming together: Cloward and Piven, ACORN, unions, illegal immigration, George Soros… All of them together are about to be used as a club to turn us into Venezuela’s twin. By the time they get done, voting will be so fraudulent it will be a joke and elections will be a sham worthy of the Soviet Union or Iran. From American Thinker:

Universal voter registration will create massive vulnerabilities to systemic voter fraud nationwide, and if Democrats have proven anything in recent years, it is that they can win elections that way. The George-Soros-funded Secretary of State project (SOS) was designed to take advantage of such vulnerabilities and may have been developed in anticipation of the universal voter registration plan. Al Franken’s stolen election in Minnesota was a trial run for the SOS project. Longtime ACORN friend Mark Ritchie was elected Minnesota Secretary of State in 2006 with Soros’s SOS and ACORN money, and what followed in Norm Coleman’s Senate runoff election was a frightening demonstration of just how far Democrats will go to win. Franken won the runoff, and the Democrats got their filibuster-proof sixty-vote Senate majority.

The Motor Voter law was correctly identified as a facilitator of vote fraud. One of the few legal issues Barack Obama actually participated in as a lawyer was a 1995 suit against the State of Illinois, which he brought on behalf of ACORN. Then-Republican Governor Jim Edgars saw the newly passed Motor Voter act as creating the potential for massive vote fraud and refused to implement it. With the assistance of the Clinton Justice Department, Obama’s legal team won that suit. Obama himself actually participated very little, a strategy that seems to have served him well in life. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, after identifying himself in court proceedings, Obama sat back and let “the heavy-hitters at the Justice Department make the arguments.”

It is not surprising that the Democrats are now choosing to push this new initiative, for universal voter registration will be Motor Voter on turbochargers. And who better to sign it into law than the president from ACORN?

Indeed… One wonders how much more Americans will sit still for and if the Marxist coup is almost complete. America’s prospects if this goes through are dim at best. In fact, I would wager a civil revolt would almost be a certainty.

Don’t forget the census either and reapportionment of congressional districts coming with that move… That will play right into this stealth attack on your vote. And according to at least one article, George Soros has been a busy little socialist bee installing secretaries of state across the nation in his image to rock the vote and the electoral process.

History’s most notorious Georgian-turned-Russian, the politically astute Joseph Stalin once remarked, “The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”

The lesson has not been lost on the increasingly notorious Hungarian-cum-American George Soros.

A group backed by Soros is gearing up to steal the 2012 election for President Obama and congressional Democrats by installing left-wing Democrats as secretaries of state across the nation. From such posts, secretaries of state can help tilt the electoral playing field.

Many states, including my state of Idaho and my former state of Nevada are already gearing up to sue the federal government over healthcare. With Universal Voter Registration, many states will look very long and hard at secession and who can blame them? Their residents and voters have had enough. They no longer recognize the America they grew up in – freedom is swiftly becoming an idea of our American yesterday. The question is, will Americans stand up and force our government to stop rigging our votes and halt their never-ending stomping on the Constitution? Revolution is stirring in the wind my friend and Americans need to clean their political house.

On Political Correctness

Hat Tip: Garry Hamilton

Theodore Dalrymple:

Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

CIA Deaths, Terrorism Could Have Been Prevented

By: Bob McCarty
Bob McCarty Writes

James Chapman was as distraught as any patriotic American about seven CIA operatives in Afghanistan being killed in an explosion set off by a double-agent Dec. 31.

James Chapman

The 67-year-old Marine Corps veteran made it clear that he hated to see our nation’s security compromised the way it was Christmas Day when a 23-year-old Nigerian man, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, attempted to take down Northwest Airlines Flight 253 with a bomb as it approached Detroit.

While many would find it difficult to recognize anything positive in those two recent security breakdowns that prompted a presidential news conference Thursday, Chapman sees opportunity. He made that clear during a 45-minute interview Friday.

“The science exists today that would protect our troops,” he said. “The science exists today that would protect our flying public.

“The science exists today that can benefit all law enforcement — not just intelligence agencies, but the officers who are fighting the war on crime in our country — and it can be used to protect children, adults and the elderly.”

The science to which he refers is known as Computer Voice Stress Analysis®, and Chapman is the world’s leading expert on its use as a tool for a multitude of intelligence, law enforcement and security applications.

A board member of the National Association of Computer Voice Stress Analysts, Chapman has used voice stress analysis from the time it was first developed in 1971 by Army Col. Alan D. Bell Jr. and through the transition period in 1989 when the people at the National Institute for Truth Verification computerized the technology.

CONSERVATIVE DANNY TARKANIAN OVERTAKES ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE IN NV GOP RACE TO REPLACE REID

Just before the weekend, the Las Vegas Review Journal released a Mason-Dixon survey showing conservative Danny Tarkanian two points ahead of establishment favorite Sue Lowden, having trended steadily upwards in the last two surveys since Lowden’s announcement bounce. Since last August, Tarkanian’s ballot score in this survey has ranged from 21%-33% and Lowden’s has ranged from 14%-26%.

  • Danny Tarkanian 28% v Sue Lowden 26% (January ’10)

PAST RESULTS

  • Danny Tarkanian 24% v Sue Lowden 25%(December ’09)
  • Danny Tarkanian 21% v Sue Lowden 23% (October ’09 – After Lowden announcement)
  • Danny Tarkanian 33% v Sue Lowden 14% (August ’09 – After Tarkanian announcement)

Tarkanian also leads Reid in the general election ballot. He has led Reid in every survey taken since his announcement.

  • Danny Tarkanian 49%
  • Harry Reid 41%

“This race has a long way to go, but Danny Tarkanian has been campaigning tirelessly, and his message for a return to conservative principles is earning votes,” said consultant James Fisfis.

You Can’t Say That!

By: Nancy Morgan
Right Bias

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been caught in a firestorm that appears likely to undermine his political viability. His sin? He was actually caught telling the truth. Gasp.

Harry’s problem stems from the fact that certain truths are no longer allowed to be uttered in the public square. As former Harvard president Lawrence Summers found out in 2005 when he dared to point out that men and women had differing proclivities for math and science.

That factual comment was enough to get Summers fired. After being forced to issue multiple public mea culpas for offending the sensitivities of feminist elites by challenging their fallacious dogma of male-female sameness, Summers was forced to fork over a cool $50 million to feminist studies groups as penance. That’ll teach him.

Harry Reid’s sin is worse. He dared to not only notice, but comment upon, ‘the Negro dialect.’ You know, the dialect skilled politicos mimic when addressing black churches. The dialect currently in use by some young black men struggling to show that they haven’t joined Uncle Sam’s plantation. The dialect that is clearly associated with a certain skin color.

Harry made the very astute observation in the run-up to the 2008 election that then presidential candidate Barack Obama had a chance of winning because he was both “light-skinned” and didn’t speak with a “Negro dialect.” By daring to point out what every American knows is true, Reid finds himself on the hot seat.

Talking heads and pontificating pundits are all atwitter. How dare he acknowledge the obvious! The networks are calling back all those racial experts we thought had been retired when a black man was actually elected president. How terribly delicious.

It seems everyone has an opinion on Harry’s opinion. The opinion no-one is challenging however, is the acceptance of the underlying premise that acknowledging cultural differences automatically makes one ‘racist.’ But only when dealing with Negroes.

The leftists celebration of multiculturalism mandates that to be considered evolved, one must not only pay homage to, but actively celebrate cultural differences. But the rules stipulate that what might be perceived as negative traits must be ignored. It gets kinda confusing.

The message here is that blatant lies are preferred to uncomfortable facts. Better to bamboozle voters with phony health care figures and vows of transparency than dare to voice an uncomfortable truth.

And a truth it is. Human nature dictates that people tend to gravitate towards and feel comfortable with people that are similar to themselves. Whether they live in tribes in Africa or the suburbs of Los Angeles.

And Reid knows, as do most Americans, that if Obama’s skin was black as coal and he spoke ebonics, there would be absolutely no chance he could be elected President. This is a fact that directly challenges liberal orthodoxy. To acknowledge it would expose the fallacy of the leftists’ new, improved version of reality. And that’s a big no-no. So poor Harry will have to be burned at the stake in order to keep alive the false illusion that all races and cultures are equal.

The silver lining is, it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
