HOUSTON (AP) — The head of the NAACP says the group's fight against conservative-backed voter ID laws that have been passed in several states is akin to the great civil rights battles of the 1960s.

Benjamin Todd Jealous, the CEO and president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, told delegates at the group's annual convention on Monday in Houston that these are Selma and Montgomery times.

Why would you NOT want to? Unless you were up to no good, committing fraud, etc.

You can tell by their actions.

The RATs want:

The illegal alien vote.
The felon vote.
The dead vote.
The dormitory college student vote.
The union thug vote.
The effin-retard vote.
The mentally ill vote.
The packers/munchers vote.
The minority vote.
The stupid vote.
The gubmint "worker" vote.
The soccer mom vote.

And of course...

The VOTE-EARLY-AND-OFTEN vote.

This faux outrage over voter ID is a sick joke. Before the Democratic Party was leftist, it was corrupt. You can go back to the Pendergasts in Kansas City, Tammany Hall in New York, the Chicago “Outfit”, the Longs in Louisiana, and the Parrs in South Texas, just to name the most prominent examples of corrupt Democrat politicians, going back in some cases to the late 19th Century. Just as the Left wraps sexual depravity in the banner of freedom, they now try to call institutionalized voter fraud a civil rights issue.

If you went out to a town of 10,000 residents, and did a survey....I think you’d find about ten people (US citizens) in the town who don’t have a photo ID of some type. I wouldn’t have a problem with the city or state offering up free ID’s and even a free lunch (out of my own state tax revenue), to settle up the problem at hand.

I would also say in the city of Washington DC....there are probably 3,000 folks without photo IDs....mostly all homeless. That’s a separate issue unto itself.

Obviously, you members of the VRWC need a little help with this Voter ID thing on a philosophical level.

You see, The Black Man was denied the vote for 400 years of slavery. Therefore, over the years that would have added up to some 14 trillion votes in local, state, and national elections that were not cast for whatever the equivalent of the Democrat Party was at the time.(Since white women were denied the vote for all that time,. I shall address women's issues later in this monograph)

As night follows day, logic demands that those 14 Trillion Votes must be made up in, as the Mormons say, In Time and Eternity.

So, in every election, a portion of that 14 Trillion Vote Deficit must be reduced by allowing Black Citizens to vote (a)a multiplicity of times (b) in a multiplicity of precincts. Now as Evening follows Noon, it must be apparent that all those slaves are now dead. As you yourselves doubtless know how your dead relatives would vote, so does today's African-American Leader, therefore he has at his (or her) disposal and in his profound trust, their absentee (what reasonable person can deny that dead slaves are indeed "absent?") ballots to be used as needed to assure a just outcome.

Our new undocumented neighbors were denied the franchise in their homelands, so the same granite-bound logic must be used to extend the privilege to them. Ditto women, members of the GLBTG community, and rehabilitated felons, even those presently incarcerated. Although the vote deficit in these last cases might be somewhat lower, karmic justice demands that it be paid forward at this time, too.

Now if there is one thing that will throw a monkey wrench (please do not take that as a racist statement ... it is a cliché) in to the cosmic balance required to bring fairness to voting, it is the petty requirement that voters prove their identity. Can't be done. Their identity is collective.

If you disagree, your vote doesn't count, 'cause, you a racist, honkey.
