Democratic Thugocracy

ACORN and the Democratic Party. What a mix! While ACORN goes out of its way to submit fraudulent voter registrations (for the Democratic Party I might add), the Democratic Party go out of their way to block Republican attempts to clear up the fraudulent voter registrations. If this isn't a sign of lapsed ethics and no faith in the electoral process, I don't know what is. It certainly shows one thing: The Democratic party is willing to compromise ethics in order to win this 2008 election in the United States.

The Secretary of State for Ohio is a Democrat, and she's appealing a court decision demanding her to take off about 200,000 voter registration cards, a ruling which was decided in favor of the Ohio Republican Party. Sounds like voter disenfranchisement, but things are not always how they sound. Those 200,000 voter registration cards all have something wrong: mismatched data. Social Security numbers, addresses, names, dates of birth, etc. All of this type of data is being skewed. So an attempt to keep elections honest and open for people who have legitimate voting rights, the Republican Party sued. The Democrats have mounted a legal defense for illegitimate voter registration cards.

At least 73 of those fraudulent voter registration cards were filled out by 1 person! A 19 year old who was bribed with cash and cigarettes and begged to sign up by ACORN officials. Sure, the kid's 19. Sure he can vote. But he gets to vote one time. Not 73. A homeless 33 year old man was begged and given a sob story to sign up over 13 cards with his name on them! Yet these are the people in ACORN that the Democratic Party is attempting to defend! It doesn't even end with real people signing multiple registration cards. Apparently ACORN-ites have taken to writing down fictitious characters as registered voters! I'm curious to see if Minnie Mouse will follow her beau's politics and vote with Mickey.

I wish it ended here folks, but it doesn't. See, the Democratic party is apparently not content with merely committing voter fraud, it's turning slowly into a modern day thug-ocracy. With Barack Obama's exhortations to "[I want you] to argue with them and get in their face.", throngs of people obsessed with this liberal ideology have taken to do whatever they can to subvert the Republican cause. But please, don't blame Obama. After all, this is a trend with the Democratic party.

The defenders of the common man and personal liberty will only allow someone to exercise those political liberties if it's in the defense of their ideals. Let's take a look at Democrats through history, starting around the time of the American Civil War. In the Aftermath of the American Civil War, Federal Union troops occupied the Southern States, enforcing the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments as they came out as well as the Reconstruction agenda of the Union. African-Americans were allowed to vote as long as the Yankees were standing by the ballot boxes.

By the 1870's those Federal Troops marched out to The Battle Hymn of the Republic, and Jim Crow marched in to the tune of Dixie. Jim Crow laws were passed throughout the south as Democrats returned to power in the vacuum left behind by Reconstruction Republicans who left the formerly rebellious southern states. The laws varied from state to state, but included poll taxes, literacy tests, grandfather clauses, and other such problems to prohibit people from voting against a Democrat. After all, in the wake of the Civil War, who was an African American likely to vote for? A white former slave owning Democrat who only a few years before had owned a plantation with forty slaves? Or the white or black Republican who had campaigned for years to abolish slavery and through Republican influence, had given the African Americans the right to vote, right to due process and citizenship, and right to freedom in the first place?

The KKK rose up. Where? In the deep Democratic South. The White League formed in Louisiana. The Red Shirts formed in Mississippi, and the Carolinas. These thugs went out to the polls and did whatever they could to preclude people from voting that they felt were a risk to the white Democrat racist ideals that they held so dearly. These laws continued well into the 1950's and 1960's until the Federal Government through the Civil Rights Acts, Court Decisions, and others forced these Democrat strongholds to give up on the racist agendas.

Today? Democrat supporters attempt to take a page from history by enforcing the draconian and highly unconstitutional Alien and Sedition Acts, stating that people would be prosecuted for making statements against Barack Obama. In the 2004 election there were several cases of liberals assaulting people carrying Bush reelection signs, including one held by a child, who at the time, was only about 4 years old. The Democrats are traditional supporters of the First Amendment to Freedom of Speech. When they stage anti-Republican rallies they cry out that their rights are being suppressed, yet when a Republican marches to stage an anti-Democratic rally, charges are filed and the Democratic idea of Freedom of Speech goes out the window. Other countries have experimented with a similar form of Conditional Freedom of Speech, most notably, Germany from the years of 1933 to 1945 and Russia from about 1917 to the 1980's.

When the Ancient Greeks wrote and spoke of governments, they came up with several types, a good and a bad form. The Republic was good. Democracy was little more than mob rule. That is the sort of game that the Democratic party is running. It's up to you to decide where you stand in 2008's election, but please vote intelligently and honestly.
