Black neighborhoods are clearly more crime ridden, but blame the green Martians that visit them nightly.

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- A federal appeals court has ruled that imprisoned felons should be allowed to vote in Washington state to ensure that racial minorities are protected under the Voting Rights Act.

9th Circuit Grants Minorities 5 Votes for Every White Vote

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- In a landmark ruling, a federal appeals court has ruled that approved minorities (African Americans and Hispanics) will have their individual votes counted as 5 votes, in order to ensure minority representation and equal justice. The Southern Poverty Law Center, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the New Black Panther Party hailed the decision. The Obama White House issued a press release yesterday afternoon saying: "This decision ensure equal voter justice for minorities who have been historically shut out of the process, and forges a new shining new path with a level playing field." A senior White House spokesman was asked if the new ruling would include Asian voters. Speaking on a condition of anonymity he said, "Are you nuts! Those are not the 'minorities' we are talking about." Attorney General Eric Holder applauded the decision, and said he will fight to ensure the ruling covers Arab-Americans, especially those of the repressed Muslim faith. "My Justice Dept will tirelessly enforce this ruling to bring equality to the voting process for all Americans", he said. Two spokesmen for the New Black Panther Party, Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson, vowed that their party would work to personally enforce the decision at voting precincts throughout the nation.

Ironically, the Godless Liberals won't be happy until they destroy this nation and bring on Armageddon.

In their hateful wickedness, are they fulfilling God's plan and bringing back his return?

It’s a wonder if they had said that they can vote as long as they vote Democrat.

Obama’s relatives? Related to Reid or Pelosi? The new SS/Gestapo of the RAT Party?

The most overturned circuit in America strikes again. Voting rights for domestic animals are next.

One of the conservatives will not retire. That would be a disaster.

He will replace Ruthie with a young liberal though.

Hopefully Stevens stays and dies in office under the next Republican President.
