Crimes Of Political Expediency – From My Vault

The following syndicated article was written by me and appeared in print October 10, 2004. Democrats have not changed their tactics in the time since it first appeared and Republicans still have not found their manhood. But, thanks to John Boehner and company, Republicans have been more beneficial to Obama than they have been to us.

There are reasons beyond the socioeconomic that keep people trapped in defeatism and marginalization. One is how many of the people think of themselves and what the elite liberals think of them. Their inculcated patterns of behavior are counterproductive to reality. And such behaviorisms are accompanied with an incomprehensible primary causal factor of “It’s because I’m black.”

As I have said before, so I say again: The crime of ignorance that accompanies such a mindset, pales in comparison to the crime liberal whites and blacks commit for political expediency.

At no time in recent history is this more glaringly obvious than in the primal cries of voter suppression and voter intimidation. Once again, blacks and Hispanics – but especially blacks – are the useful idiots of liberal socialists.

Voter suppression and voter intimidation are this election cycle’s James Byrd and Matthew Shepard. At what point will these people open their eyes to the injustice they willingly accept being perpetrated upon them?

Liberal special-interest groups registered large numbers of inner-city black and Hispanic voters, but are not teaching them what to do when they get to the ballot box. It is highly unlikely these people (if they vote at all) know how to operate the machine or exactly where their polling place is or know anything more about the candidate than his name. It is unlikely they know what is expected of them when they arrive.

My son now votes by absentee ballot, but from his birth, I took him with me to vote. He remembers my explaining why we vote, why I was voting for a particular candidate and what the issues were. I received no small amount of pleasure having him experience the entire process. I took pride in knowing one day he would be able to participate by casting his own vote. Yet he sometimes still calls me with a question. Who will these people call? Who has prepared them to confidently participate?

A professional colleague keeps his voter registration in his wallet. It gives his name, address and where he is to vote. He goes to the polls and expects to show registration and/or a photo ID, or a utility bill to authenticate who he is so there is no question of his being a legitimate voter. Of course, he is white … liberals expect him to be responsible (sarcasm intended).

Yet it will be incidents born from precisely such lack of preparation and understanding on any level that will unleash legions with cries of disenfranchisement.

When the NAACP arrives at a Missouri polling center with a busload of questionable voters and one minute left to vote – who is realistically responsible for suppressing the vote?

When liberal registrars are paid in crack cocaine, who is suppressing the vote?

When people go to the wrong polling place and are turned away, is it suppressing the vote, or the center doing its job? I have gone to the wrong polling place in the past – being instructed where the right place was for me to go did not offend my sensibilities.

During the recent mayoral election in Philadelphia, Pa., why wasn’t the destroying of mayoral candidate Katz’s signs and union thugs bullying voters viewed as suppression or intimidation?

Where is the dignity – where is the responsibility – when a federal judge in Ohio rules that people (referenced as mostly poor, which is code for blacks) can cast ballots at the wrong polling places? Based on an argument that said people vote mostly Democrat and would be dissuaded from participating in the election process if forced to follow the same guidelines as (heaven forbid) responsible voters (read white).

Liberals are intent on two things this election: undermining established election laws and using uneducated blacks to do it. How many of these useful idiots will even be permitted into the halls to await the returns on election night? How many of these who so willingly submit to marginalization will be permitted even a sniff of coffee at the homes of those who have used them?

The only thing more despicable than these Mohockian reprobates, are those who sell their souls for a seat at Barmecide’s table. If you want to know what liberals really think about blacks and women, just look at what they reduce them to.
