The “slippery slope” isn’t a fallacy, it’s a tactic. That’s one of the truths the political right must internalize. For far too long, on nearly every issue of importance, the mainstream conservative movement has enabled the Left’s destructive march of “progress” though society by succumbing to the leftists’ narrative that critiques of their policy are nothing more than alarmist slippery-slope fallacies. “We don’t want to take away your guns, we just want commonsense gun reform” has now become “Yes, we do want to take all your guns away.” And the Left’s “We just want tolerance for homosexuals” has now become...

Yes, there is voter fraud going on despite what Democrats tell you. The interesting thing is that it is Democrats engaging in it! In a report you probably aren’t hearing about in the mainstream news, nine people were arrested in Edinburg, Texas for participating in an organized, illegal voting scheme. Interestingly enough, they all have Hispanic last names. Guadalupe Sanchez Garza, Araceli Gutierrez, Brenda Rodriguez, Rosendo Rodriguez, Cynthia Tamez, Ruby Tamez, Belinda Rodriguez, Felisha Yolanda Rodriguez and Jerry Gonzalez, Jr. have all been arrested and charged with voter fraud, and these are only the beginning according to ABC7 Amarillo. The...

More than 100,000 noncitizens are registered to vote in Pennsylvania alone, according to testimony submitted Monday in a lawsuit demanding the state come clean about the extent of its problems. The Public Interest Legal Foundation, which has identified similar noncitizen voting problems in studies of Virginia and New Jersey, said Pennsylvania officials have admitted noncitizens have been registering and voting in the state “for decades.” But state officials have stonewalled PILF requests for access to the data that could expose the problem, the group says in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Harrisburg. “For months, Pennsylvania bureaucrats have concealed...

Prior to the 2016 election President Obama used his parseltongue to encourage illegal aliens to break federal law and vote in the presidential election: According to a recent research study as many as 2.8 million illegal aliens voted in 2008 and 2012.  Full pdf below: [excerpt] …”How many non-citizen votes were likely cast in 2008? Taking the most conservative estimate (those who both said they voted and cast a verified vote) yields a confidence interval based on sampling error between 0.2% and 2.8% for the portion of non-citizens participating in elections.

President Obama Elected with Illegal Votes? European leftists prefer American presidents who are critics of capitalism and fans of redistribution. The same is typically true of others foreigners, according to various surveys that show a Democrat candidate could win in presidential contests where foreigners had a voice at the ballot box. Polls like that are hypothetical, of course, because it is illegal for foreign nationals to vote in federal elections. But a new academic study shows foreign nationals have been in a position to help Democrats steal elections. In fact, the study demonstrates that is likely that President Obama won...

An election integrity watchdog group is suing the state of Maryland, alleging that it has discovered massive and ongoing fraudulent voting by non-U.S. citizens in one county. But because of the way that the non-citizens are able to cast votes in elections, the fraud is likely happening in every single county and subdivision across the state. The group believes that the illegal voting has been happening for years. The group, Virginia Voters Alliance, says that it compared how voters in Frederick County filled out jury duty statements compared with their voting records. The group’s investigation found that thousands of people...

Voting is so central to the American system that three of the last five amendments to our Constitution deal with voting (Amendments 23, 24 and 26). Amendment 26, for instance, extends the vote to eighteen year olds. But the American political Left (a.k.a. progressives) wants to extend the vote well beyond American teenage citizens. In hopes of creating instant Democrat voters, Al Gore's Citizenship USA program rammed through grants of citizenship by waiving qualifications. At WorldNetDaily in 2001, Kenneth R. Timmerman reported:

SAN DIEGO – The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously today to send a letter to the secretary of state urging the passage of legislation mandating tougher voter identification. The board is asking for a change in state law that would require Californians to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote and a photo ID before voting. Supervisor Bill Horn, who championed the proposal, said the measures would prevent fraud and protect the integrity of elections.

If the former leader of Iraq were able, he could find his way across the border, obtain a driver’s license, and perhaps cast a deciding vote on a city policy.
