The dictionary definition of 'disenfrachisment' is:
In that definition of disenfranchisment, there is a discussion of the outright removal of a person's right to vote. There is also a different form of disenfranchisment: Dilution of the vote.
This 'disenfranchisment by dillution' can occur in many ways. A political party can commit voter fraud, or it can suppress organizational efforts of opposing parties, or -- as is being attempted now, with the Illegal Immigrant Amnesty Bill -- the voter base can be diluted with foreign nationals that share the views of that party. The opposing party finds itself in a permanent minority status, as their votes become so watered down as to become meaningless. It would get to the point that it would be political homeopathy.
There is some discussion that the Elite Ruling-class Republicans don't care if they are a permanent minority; that they would in fact prefer it. Those who vote in the Ruling Elite's desires would get personal rewards -- crumbs, thrown from the table, as the Democrats feasted on the corpse of America. It is past time for those who would consider such a vote to put the nation over their own personal benefit. They need to think of the Founding Fathers who risked life and personal fortunes to establish a nation, under God, that embraced personal freedom.
The Democrats do not value personal freedom, at all, unless it is to kill the unborn. On every other topic, they favor a rigid, overbearing, controlling government presence. When it comes to firearms possession, the ability to conduct business unmolested by a rapacious government, or even how one lives their life (with their constant 'environmental' attempts to prevent us from using energy or having access to technology, or to own one owns property or money, the Democrats consistently favor the Communist and Socialist approach.
Those who would gain from Illegal Alien Amnesty tend to come from countries, such as Mexico, where the government is heavy and oppressive -- and largely socialistic. To turn the nation over to these foreign invaders, in the form of legalizing millions of illegal interlopers, is an utterly heinous and traitorous act. It disenfranchises current Americans.
We need to fight this disenfranchisement with every fiber in our being. We need to appeal to the fence-sitters, reminding them that current Americans would be disenfranchised. To entertain ANY border-related bill right now, even one that looks wonderful from our perspective, would invite the worst elements of the Senate bill to be included.
And that, my friends, would be the final coup-de-grace that would kill America once and for all.
Thank you, cardinal4!
Thank you, dear sir!
Yeah, no lie...
Well said!!!
Thank you!
Laz is like the leader of a new Freeper Foxhole. Any of you other oldtimers remember the old one?
Meh. Won’t disqualify you for writing for FoxNews.com. They have some of the worst editing I’ve ever seen in a professional news organization.
Why thank you!
Any of you other oldtimers remember the old one?
I don't. What was it about?
LOL.... think I can then get a date with one of those FoxHoneys? They shore dus look purty! :)
Well said, Laz.
I’ve come to the sad conclusion that the democrats have successfully planted enough of their loyalists in the GOP as to render it useless. McStain, Gramnesty and Rubio are just as determined to destroy our nation as Obozo, Reid and Pelosi.
It’s time to separate the traitors from the patriots. The tree of liberty needs refreshing.
No question.
Exactly. We don't have a "broken" immigration system...we have laws that are not being enforced.
I lurked 'most of '98-'00 time frame, so didn't get to particpate, but sure made a point to read. Someone here is bound to remember
You just need a good editor looking over your shoulder.
Bingo. By design I fear, and via a long term effort.
I must be thinking about another ping list. Still, Yours is pretty much of an orignial. I hit it like I would hit Jess Simpson.
You are absolutely right.
I read FoxNews.com to my husband every morning while he eats his breakfast.
Many times I have been laughing too hard to read it aloud at the puerile and incorrect spelling, word, and grammar usage.
Seriously, I don’t think that they “edit” it at all. At least not our understanding of the word “edit.”
And don’t get me started about the headlines...
Thanks Laz! Every word was true and on target.
