KNIGHT: Betrayal by any other name
Washington Times ^ | 18 mar 2012 | Robert Knight

Posted on 03/18/2012 4:53:25 AM PDT by rellimpank

What would you call it if some Americans went overseas to the United Nations Human Rights Council and gave aid and comfort to some of the most repressive regimes on the planet?

What if they falsely accused America of suppressing the vote of racial minorities because some states require voter photo ID and other measures to deter fraud?

I'd call it "treason," but you also could say it's just liberal politics as usual.

The core argument is that minorities are incapable of getting an ID and playing by the same rules that all adult citizens must follow regardless of race. It's the same poisonous brew of lowered expectations that liberals have been pushing on minorities in order to expand government and foster dependency.

On Wednesday, NAACP President Benjamin T. Jealous, who apparently longs for an electoral system like those in Cuba, China or Saudi Arabia, whose representatives hung on his every word, trashed his own country. I was not there, but I'm assuming these regimes enjoyed seeing a certified "civil rights" leader criticize the United States.

ID required voting violates NO one. It does however, protect 'my' vote, from becoming null/void by a non-citizen casting an illegal one.

Illegal votes are an assault on our Republic/Democracy and our Country. Does a citizen's vote deserve protection - or not?

I live in Pennsylvania and I’m happy to report that we just modified our voter ID law to include a photo ID starting with the November 2012 election.

Whatever the NAACP was when it was founded in 1905, and whatever else it later became (good or bad) when WEB DuBois was running it, they are now no more than lackeys of the Democratic Party.

This is about the Democrats using black districts as safe havens for electoral fraud. The NAACP are doing the dirty work, most likely on orders from 0.

Can anyone name a state where a photo ID is not used for a driver’s license, state aid, welfare, jobs, banking, etc?

-——they are now no more than lackeys -——

The Naalcp leadership is composed of professional negros. That is, they make their living by being negro.

Like all other such moonbat organizations, the membership at large is composed of donors and propaganda fodder.

I’d call it “Doing Obama’s bidding!”

Will PA be issuing each voter a nightstick this year? That way they all will be equally armed.

I would call it a laughable jackasses and clowns show. As a commentator on FOX pointed out, they all had show an ID to get on the plane, and they all had to provide a birth certificate to get a passport. They spent a lot of money that could have been used to help out those poor old unfortunate folks who couldn't afford an ID. (And other fairy tales by the left.)

That’s excellent. It is going to make it a little harder to round up buses of “voters” and drive them from precinct to precinct until they get enough votes to get their favorite leftist candidate elected. I have a couple of names for these people and they rhyme with truckers.

Have no doubt; in your town/state; and so many others. The dead are 'rising' as we speak; as the Dems prepare for 2012.

As a teller at a Credit Union, unless I've known someone for a while, or have cashed enough checks for them so that I have seen their ID often enough to know them by NAME, I ALWAYS ask for ID when cashing a check, or even just letting someone see the information about their account.

I don't remember ever being asked for an ID when I first voted in my district, 24 years ago. By now, the folks checking me in and handing me my ballot, know me by name, usually because we've met in other circumstances around town, over the years.

It also protects your vote from becoming null/void by the same person casting a dozen votes under a dozen different names.

That practice is enabled by the evil that is "early voting".

It allows people to "vote early and vote often" without interfering with siesta and midnight basketball.

Yes, 'good point' - and reminder - as to just how huge the fraud we are dealing with.
