Voter registration

More moronic bleatings from The Nation's parakeet sanitation division on the complexities of voter registration. Obama's Voter-registration Drive

Apparently, in The Nation's view a pulse should be the only requirement for voting. Where this cockamamie notion got it's start is indiscernible. The logic behind it avers that the felonious, the moronic, as well as the illiterate are as valued voters as the general populace. While the case can certainly be made that previous poll tests were racist in origin it seems the baby has gone out with the bath water on this one.

The idea that each and everyone is qualified to vote based upon the possession of no more than a pulse and the requisite number of years attained is surely as fallacious as the idea that we should all be granted periodic opportunities at brain surgery. Ironically, in making this argument, I continue in my strong belief that the American voter is the best arbiter of the proper candidate to office.

One of the basic principles behind the notion of compulsory education within the US is that it is necessary to the process of voting intelligently. The Founders had the quaint idea that one should have a basic understanding of how the American democratic experiment was designed to work and some rudiments of the construction of their government. That a goodly number of potentially eligible voters do not even understand the existence of the three branches of their federal government nor the separation of powers does not speak well to those educational efforts some two hundred odd years on. In a country where one of it's most respected Supreme Court justices famously advocated the sterilization of the congenitally idiotic we've now reached the point where the idiotic are encouraged equally to both avail themselves of the right to abortion but the vote as well. Justice Holmes, call your office.


The above author ignores the fact that the imbecile, like the genius, is more likely to vote Democrat than Republican. This is necessary to maintain the charade that we're really talking about an issue of equal rights.

He also blithely overlooks the fact that ACORN has not been prosecuted by only right-wing Republicans but almost anyone with legal sense. ACORN's efforts have resulted in unprecedented turn-outs amidst the dead, the illegal alien, as well as those unsatisfied with voting only once a day.

I remain optimistic because, to most of the moronic, the first Tuesday in November will dawn as most other days do with a quest for the mating of their shoes hook and loop fasteners, untroubled by thoughts of the course of the American experiment. It's also questionable as to what percentage of voters susceptible to the "Rock the Vote" campaigning of MTV have recovered from their weekend's exertions to apply their franchise. All to the good, I say.

The author, who is apparently still struggling with sorting out the men's from the ladies based upon those panted and skirted icons upon their doors, is aghast at how difficult it is to register and vote in these here United States. He is probably a resident of Manhattan and therefore not a licensed driver. Were he, he would know that one can walk into any state DMV blindfolded, answer every question with a "yes" and emerge a registered voter as well as licensed to drive. I'll leave it to the reader to decipher which is the scarier possibility.

The liberal arrogance of such twits is best shown by their objections to the polls requiring some form of ID. It's not that there are no procedures in place for those who've neglected to bring their ID with them to the polls; there are such policies to ensure poll access. It's the liberal mind's concept that there are significant amounts of valuable voters out there who are unable to identify themselves adequately to poll workers so as to vote. It's not so much that they want the moronic to have equal access to the polls, it's that they consider the levels of the moronic to be so high and wide-spread. What does this say about their thought process, in a country where it is more difficult to order a beer than to register and vote?

I, for one, encourage everyone to stay home and have an extra bowl of oatmeal instead of voting. Those who find such a prospect inviting probably have greater issues with the markings on the Pyrex cup than they do with the governance of the ship of state. And breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
