From Felon Disenfranchisement: Purging the Minority Vote:

… we take a look at how former felons - many of them African American Democrats - were wrongly included on a Florida state list of voters to be purged.

Florida is one of seven states that does not automatically restore civil rights to felons after they have served their prison sentences. And regaining the right to vote can be a long and difficult process.

“…can be a long and difficult process”

Many aspects of life require long and difficult processes. From tracking a series of incorrectly processed claims at your place of employment to passing a driver’s license test. It’s called personal responsibility and ambition.

The law caused hundreds or possibly thousands of votes to be discounted in the 2000 election because of errors in a state purge list of former felons.

The law caused…? Because of errors… ? No, there were no errors…

It is the responsibility of the prior felon to make sure their rights are restored through the courts within the time frame outlined by the law.

Becky Steele, Director of the American Civil Liberties Union West Central Florida Office: …You imposed these additional requirements on people who are eligible voters. They've gone through all of the hoops that they need and spent a long, arduous process getting their rights restored, and now because of a technicality in the timing, you're going to strike them from the voter rolls….

There were no errors, it was those darn technicalities. Tell me, how many criminal defense lawyers get their clients off because of those darn technicalities?

Here, once again we see the left’s defense for those who display a lack of personal responsibility.

Is that the entirety of it? Is the ACLU defending these individuals out of compassion regardless of the obvious lack of personal responsibility on behalf of the convicted felons (who have served their time)?

Is the ACLU really that altruistic?

Maybe it’s just a lack of good old common sense, they are letting their compassionate bleeding hearts think for them.

Do not for a second believe the lawyers of the ACLU are want for common sense. They are intelligently pursuing a focused goal indeed.

Who is more likely to research and educate themselves in the intricacies of the actual goal of the Democrat left? Is it felons and the poor? No, it is freedom loving conservative capitalists, the educated.

Who then, do the Democrat left go after for votes? Surely it is not the educated conservative capitalists.

Can you see the divergence? The poor and disenfranchised are being used.

The poor are not poor because “the man” keeps them down. That’s a lie put into their heads by their “civil rights leaders”. Isn’t that right Mr. Jackson, Mr. Sharpton? They are being kept down because they buy into their own “leaders” hateful racist rhetoric. Those who make excuse after excuse while blaming everything and everyone while refusing to consistently focus on the root of the problem.

Personal responsibility

They are poor because of decisions they make in their own lives. They are felons because of decisions they made in their lives. They didn’t get their voting rights re-established because they didn’t get the proper legal procedures completed on time.

Is this a blame game?

“There are some things my Tribe is not good at, at all. My Tribe doesn’t make excuses. My Tribe will analyze failure and assign blame, but that is to make sure that we do better next time…” from Tribes.

People are different. Some are ambitious and pursue educations and therefore typically acquire good paying jobs. Others don’t and consequently do not acquire good paying jobs. Some were bullies in their youth, skipped school and grew up to be thugs and criminals in their adulthood. Still others grew up in an abusive family yet, are not abusive in their adulthood. Why?

Because of their firm, cognitive grip on personal responsibility.

Is it that simple?

My father raised me to believe that there is no such thing as an accident and really, there isn’t. If you present me with an “accident”, with sufficient background and other pertinent information, I can show you where, in the chain of events, somebody somewhere made a mistake that directly contributed to the “accident”. Somewhere a mistake was made, whether it is operator error in a vehicle crash or poor quality management when inspecting the construction of the brake system installed on that vehicle that failed. Somebody somewhere is responsible for that accident. Is it always beneficial to investigate so deep to lay blame? The answer to that depends on the circumstances.

The poor and the disenfranchised… typically uneducated in history and current events, events behind the headlines of the drivel they are spoon fed by the media.

Do I know about the atrocities being committed by big oil companies around the world in the name of capitalism? Of course I do. Am I iffy about why we are in Iraq? Bush, Cheney, Halliburton oil… of course I am but…

The uneducated poor and disenfranchised vote is why the communist, founded ACLU runs to their rescue. Not in the name of civil liberties but simply for votes. You are foolish if you actually believe it is out of compassion. It is for the votes for the Democrat left, the votes of those who are not educated in the facts of the socialist/communist goal of the left.

Do you think many of those “disenfranchised” are voting for the “evil” conservatives?

Are the leftist Democrat’s in positions of governmental power associated with socialism/communism? Damn right they are. The facts are undeniable if you do the research.

I was once asked if I actually believed that Republicans cared about me as an individual. I am not living in fantasy land. I know that if I stood in the way of President Bush and Vice President Cheney’s oil fortunes I would just be another statistic. I know what greed can do. But, at least they are capitalists. That spells freedom a whole heck of a lot better than does socialist/communist. It could be considered the lesser of two evils.

In my educated opinion however, capitalism is not necessarily evil. It can of course be used for evil if it is abused as can anything. Love… religion… the push by doctors for profit for prescription drugs, you name it. But, you name me ONE socialist/communist country whose people are more free than capitalist America’s people… just one… you can’t do it.

Most conservative talk show hosts won’t address this truth. Michael Savage is about the only conservative talk show host who has the intestinal fortitude to expose the enemy within and articulate the truth of it in all of its ugly reality.
