“You know we've had all kinds of problems in some of our past elections, as you might remember. In 2000, our presidential election came down to one state where the brother of the man running for president was the governor of the state, so we have our problems, too.”

Actually, the election of 1980 did. But post-2000 was bad. Trying to steal an election that the Dems lost didn't help — all those legal battles (“this is MY sandbox”). (And could you envision Obama in the infamous broadcast “conference call” PR stunt?)

“You mean like literacy tests?”

No, like intelligence and knowledge tests, real qualification tests, though literacy should be valued.

No, I'm advocating no “poll tax or any kind of tax,” so don't bother with that other cheap shot.

Dear Alibicaff, can you please give us a link that would verify? Cant find a reference to this online, and have not heard of such a 'folk custom'… as glass was a precious commodity in Eu., and people still used in many parts horse drawn wagons, and children played in the streets. Thanks.

dr.e.

I come and go from this blog hoping there might be some voluntary and self imposed “moderate testing” since it is billed after all as “The Moderate Voice”. But each time I visit, I am disappointed to read the loony hard core Right spewing hateful and vile diatribes against the not-so-moderate Lefties on the site. Defenses of Hitler? What are you hanging around this blog for?? Good Lord, why not find some Aryan supremacist buddies and beat up some gays will ya?

Anybody know of a blog where moderates actually hang out?

Hugo Chavez could teach US leaders a thing or two about winning votes

Hey, Sean Penn: This Is What Hugo Chavez, Eve Golinger, and Bart Jones Call Journalism
<a href=”
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2005… William D. Delahunt is an apologist for Chávez

That took me 30 seconds, and is just the first two for Chavez. To pretend the Left doesn't just LOVE Chavez, Castro, et. al. now, and Stalin and Mao in the past (which, BTW, is why I used old references when I brought them up. They are historical figures, and who I initially brought up. Kind of hard to not point to them when discussing who was an apologist then. I realize this is too complicated a logic trail for you, but I just cannot figure out how to dumb down this concept for your level. There are no 3-grade level readers on mid-20th century politics for me to point you to) is to truly deny reality.

Luckily, though, the Left still loves Leftist dictators, the more repressive they are, the more you seem to love them.

p.s. – Buchanan is still an idiot.

Oh I know, how about the Torture apologists in Kristol, Friedman, Yoo, Gonzalez, Rice, Powell,Bush and Cheney? That's going back say on y maybe 5-8 years.
Learn to be relevant before you make “asinine” statements. Times change, events need to be correlated into their proper timeframe.

Actually, I've wanted this, or other means of qualification of the suffrage, such as a knowledge test, similar to what foreigners might be expected to take before being granted U.S. citizenship.

Better still would be not only qualification, but weighting based on criteria like this, taxes paid, etc..

So long, libs and Dems!

Oh go bite a finger off.

Just meet his demands. How hard was that?

I'm just glad that he mixed things up to the point where he didn't concentrate on cutting off Suez (forcing the Allies to go around Africa and past submarines) and seizing the Middle East oil fields before grabbing the Caucasus after that. (What state would the war have been put, had he done it?)

“Now we're getting school-mandated pledge of allegiance to Obama as a civics lesson DVD.”

As I just wrote elsewhere, about the divisiveness Obama and the Dems have been creating:

Making things worse is the Sep 8 speech Obama wants to give to school children. The “campaign” behavior this year is degenerate enough; this is bringing Washington more into schools than ever before, in a direct way that reeks of personality cultism as well as government control — like Chavez. Is a politicized curriculum in the future, or school-grounds Bolivarian Circles, too? They're logical!

Hell, this is potentially more “productive” than earlier “nuclear education,” “AIDS education,” or someday, “climate education,” “food education,” etc., piecemeal extremist indoctrination stuff.

The only thing missing is distribution of one or more books by Obama, to be taken and kept at home.

Hitler had always regarded the German-Soviet nonaggression pact as a tactical and temporary maneuver. On December 18, 1940, he signed Directive 21 (code-named Operation Barbarossa), the first operational order for the invasion of the Soviet Union. From the beginning of operational planning, German military and police authorities intended to wage a war of annihilation against the Communist state as well as the Jews of the Soviet Union, whom they characterized as forming the “racial basis” for the Soviet state.

German forces invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, less than two years after the German-Soviet Pact was signed. Operation Barbarossa was the largest German military operation of World War II.

“For instance, if you were to announce on the “View”, to the hosts and audience, that a mystery guest was about to appear who was a mass murderer, a theocrat, a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a torturer, and a homophobe, the set of the show would instantly be filled with angry boos and jeers from the crowd. However, when the identity of the guest were to be revealed as Fidel Castro, the knees of the female hosts would suddenly quiver and an about face would occur. Barbara Walters would be the first to her feet to greet the great Leftist Dictator. The crowd would follow, taking her lead on giving Castro a standing ovation. Within minutes after the applause died down, movie pals Steven Speilburg and Francis Ford Coppola would greet their little darling via speaker phone. (Again, it's all in the packaging. Those who work in a business of illusion and deception are easily deceived.) “

Please tell me you linked this as a joke.

If you're being sold on this, I'm laughing at you, but also intrigued. You apparently believe these grotesque fantasies, which means I can write a lazy, poorly researched book screaming about how the Left loves Stalin and Sean Penn and make a lot of money. Thanks for the heads up.

(Btw, the Left doesn't love Ahmadinejad. We just don't want to start a preemptive NUCLEAR WAR over him, as some of you do.)

As if your far-left motives as well as “method” on this site hasn't been transparent already…[grin]

Oh poor Hitler, he had no other choice but to kill all of them! Yes, this was most certainly the fault of those meanie Europeans and Americans and Russians.

Wow, that's some pretty sick stuff there.
