Photo IDs

I have heard lots of talk in the recent days discussing this Photo ID requirement before a person can vote. Well the Democrats don't think people should be required to produce a Photo ID when they vote. The Dems are on the "No ID" side of the argument While the Republicans think requiring a Photo ID would help eliminate the possibility of individuals voting using the name of another registered voter. At this point the law requiring a PID to vote is being deemed unconstitutional by this administration.

It appears those opposed to a voter being required to show a PID, is they fear someone will feel offended at being asked to produce this type of an ID. To me feeling offended is not reason enough to do away with the PID requirement. To me it seems the Dems are trying very hard indeed to portray asking for a PID  falls in the same category as racism and when you call on someone to produce this type of ID they want to say it's the same thing as asking someone for a "Poll Tax". Plus at the same time your being a racist when you do this.

There is objections when you bring up the subject of voting and having to use a PID. And one of those objections is about the cost of the ID, which the Dems suggest there's no way people can come up with that extra money because they have to spend that money for something else. Of course there are always variations of the excuses why people can't buy  PIDs but their favorite seems to be, they don't have a car so there is just not any need for a drivers license. They fail to mention that regular state IDs can be purchased at the same window as Drivers License  plus you don't even have to waste the time on a driving test. Each time an excuse comes up for not having a picture ID and for whatever reason, the potential voter comes up with, you can be assured the Democrat party will be in agreement because they have a selfish motive.

The cost for a PID is generally fifteen/twenty dollars. Many of the states that recently passed laws which require a PID are offering free or reduced prices for people who can't afford the money to pay for the IDs. Regardless of all the objections the left keeps throwing out concerning PIDs the closer the next big election gets to us and with that closeness comes the greater possibility for some individual to pull the lever against one candidate and when they do that it will make the legitimate vote of some legal voter null and void. That's right, because of some imagined offense against some imagined individual the Democrat party is willing to flush down the drain, the vote of a legitimate American voter all in the name of some pretended racial offense. This is complete stupidity brought to a new low.

This United States of America became the greatest country in the history of mankind in part due to our Constitution and being a country of laws. Among the many blessings derived from that great work which established rule of law was that law which gave every legal person a voice in their every day lives and in the workings of "our" government and established the law which gave voting rights to qualified citizens. For America to continue with this success citizens must do their part through voting, and when that is done it helps assure this country will retain its' greatness.

It's imperative that we all follow the law and one of the ways which helps this country to work is we all have a stake in what happens. That is done in America by eligible persons participating in and voicing their opinions through the voting process. Voting in elections is a very special responsibility not to be taken lightly and our voting rights must never allowed  to be abused or misused in any manner. Whenever an ineligible person votes in an election that vote robs a legitimate voter of their vote. It does not matter if it is one or one hundred people who cast an ineligible vote because when that illegal vote happens it wipes out the legal vote of some individual who has lived, worked, paid their share, and earned his or her right to vote.

There has been an awesome price paid in blood and lives by our military to secure the voting rights of Americans and it is our combined responsibility to make sure elections stay fair and honest for every Citizen of this great country. This right of voting should never be taken lightly and it must not be allowed to be abused by anyone and people who are ineligible should NEVER  be given the slightest chance to pull that lever and void even one single American vote.

This last statement about photo IDs is plain and simple. Check cashing in banks require a picture ID. Want to see certain movies you have to present a PID. Want to rent certain things your required to present an ID with photo. The list gets longer but the story stays the same. The Dems are together against this type of ID and say voter fraud isn't a problem, that there's no need for the PIDs law. Dems like to defend their position by saying that requiring voters to present a PID keeps people from being allowed to vote.

I do have to be truthful, Obama/Holder are very serious about photo ids. The Obama/Holder administration however is worried about a stranger going into a federal building and on this they strongly back the law requiring a Photo ID to enter federal buildings, but at the same time neither Obama or Holder are worried if some stranger walks into the voting booth and steals a legal American vote from its rightful owner. No not worried at all, for them no PID in that case is just fine and perfectly alright.

For the Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, Guard, Marines, all the men and women who have paid that final price with their life I'd like to say to them and those who may read this, those people paid a hell of a price. Some of them may  never even gone to pull that lever and vote, they were that young. I can bet if they could have the chance to make it to the polls now... I bet they'd be willing to come up with the 20 bucks to get an ID so they could vote and in fact, I'd be willing to bet more than I even have that given the chance they would throw down a hell of a lot more than that 20 bucks for one final chance to do what they died for.

To those against a PID, those brave souls gave their lives so you could pull the lever and choose whoever you believed would serve you best. Those lives are now gone, given up so that you can now complain about how life is too tough for you to come up with 20 bucks for a damn Photo ID. I said 15/20 bucks for an ID, that is chump change my friends. Compared to what those brave people gave, that's chump change. To any out there not willing to do whatever it takes to get a picture ID, then I say to you, "You don't deserve to vote in the first damn place".

pay attention

I realized something just a short time back when I happened to click on msnbc and saw one of the hosts talking about the wall street protesters. As I listened I was  impressed with how much difference there was in what was being said on msnbc and what was being shown on all the different stations. The explanation given by the pundits on msnbc was one of pride in what was being done by the people occupying Zuccotti Park.  Praise was being heaped on those people and they were being compared to real American heroes. This revision of facts was being done as their actions were being shown on TV for the world to see.


As I listened to the people talk about this event I was very moved but in a way that made me want to keep a close eye and ear on what being presented by msnbc and others with the same view.  It came over  me how naive I was in thinking that everybody really wanted to preserve this country and maintain the principles of our founders. Events over the past year have moved at amazing speed and as these events came and went I found myself spending a little more time on these channels and I actually listened to what was coming out of their mouths and not just sit and scream at the TV. I've gotten to know pundits other than Matthews and Maddow but I've come to see that they all hold the same contempt for what the country is and what it represents. Obama came onto the scene and these same people crowned him king the main reason being because he holds the same views of America as the liberal left.


I am very concerned with the direction the left wants us go. If they get their way it will bring this country right to the very place Europe had to leave before the entire country faced bankruptcy. Europe understands socialism does not work, even though it took the collapse of Greece and several other countries to bankrupt before they came to their senses. If the left in America has their way this country will go the way of Greece, there is no other option. So, I say to any who would read this please listen to what is being said on msnbc and other liberal outlets because what is said there reflects the views of the entire democrat party as well as the president. After all, the president said if he was elected he would transform America. I'm afraid he means what he said  and America needs to pay attention.

struggles

The economy is front and center when it comes to the United States as well over seas. While the world watches the situation in Europe as they go about fixing their economic problems the world does not seem to realize their is an undercurrent story in Europe that much of the world does not see. The undercurrent in Europe is the anxiety being felt over the power Germany has gained while the fight to salvage the Euro has gone forward.


Fear is beginning to rise and people are speaking out saying too much power is being used against countries which fail to toe the line. Sovereignty is the question being raised and some like Britain are struggling to maintain some independence but in stead are being told they will follow orders being handed down from Germany one way or another. After running rough shod over Britain it should be fairly clear individualism has falling by the way side. To unite their countries in order to build a strong united group in order to survive through sharing  is one thing but to build that group through order of dictate is quite another and certain countries are beginning to see clearly the role Germany is playing now is not the role Germany portrayed in the beginning.The struggle to survive, the struggle with the Euro, and the struggle with independence are all major problems in Europe.

too expensive, suppression, or obligation

Since the beginning of the year murmuring began over voters having to present picture ID's when voting. This was being encouraged by the Republican party to insure every person who voted was actually who they claimed to be. On the other side the Democrats have said there is no need for anyone to produce a photo ID when they vote because no person has ever been charged with voter ID fraud.

My thinking is how can you charge someone with lying about who they are if you do not know who they are in the first place. Dems have their constituents claiming they don't have photo ID's and can't afford photo ID's. This claim has been most pronounced from black Democrat voters and that claim has been pushed hard by the National Democratic Party. I find this photo ID to be one of the easiest and most assured ways of preventing voter fraud that is available and the claim of prohibitive cost is absurd to say the least.

These days photo ID's are common place, you can't get on an airplane and for an individual to open a bank account they have to produce a valid photo ID in most every bank in this country. A photo ID is essential for cashing payroll checks and there are very few places that will cash a personal check for anyone without a current photo ID even in small towns unless they are known by the store owner.

The Democrat Party is trying to portray Republicans as racists who are trying to suppress voters. This is another lie to draw attention to the other hand as they say in the magic world. Only recently uncovered and in the news was an investigation on the election of Obama where it showed hundreds of names on a petition was found to be fraudulent. This is one  more example of why it is necessary to have a photo ID.

The items needed to get a photo ID is pretty common throughout the country. Present a birth certificate, present something to show you are in America legally, show something that proves you live in the state where you are going to be voting and give the establishment a price for the ID, usually around 20 dollars, and your done, you now are photo ID'ed and ready to legally vote in your state and no other person can vote in your name.

 This is important and I will say this in closing, I find it trifling to think people believe the cost of a photo ID is too high a price to pay for them to assure our system of democracy is preserved. Ask yourself if what you pay for photo ID compares to what millions of Americans have paid when they gave their lives to save our Republic and peoples right to have their vote count, honestly.  So as much as the Democrat party wants, requiring voters to present a photo ID to prevent some illegal voter from stealing their vote cannot be called voter suppression, how about call it repaying a debt.

careful newt

I see this morning that Gingrich has moved up in the ratings to number one in the polls above Mitt. If that is the case I am quite sure it won't be long till some female pulls a Herman Cain on Newt. I am going to watch Holder this morning and see what kind of story he can come up with. We will have to see how the Dems take the story about Newt I am sure they will appear to be quite happy over the latest polls.

bubba needs a job

I have thought some about the helicopter which failed to return from the Bin Laden mission. Here we had a very expensive and sophisticated piece of equipment which was left to fall into the hands of our enemies. Through reverse engineering China probably managed to recover information which took the US billions to produce. This information in the hands of China is not a good thing and has allowed China to bypass lengthy and costly procedures our scientists and engineers struggled for years to obtain. A piece of the crashed helicopter left fairly intact was all it took for China with the help of our supposed allies, the Pakistanis, to gather up the tail of this helicopter just as a tow truck would pick up an illegally parked car.


This is not something unexpected. Surely the military knows planes and helicopters have a history of failure and in a war zone there is that little problem of missiles and rockets and things that go Boom! For the life of me I cannot understand how they have allowed this to happen again with this latest incident of a drone falling into the hands of our enemies. Imagine the ability of a country to operate an aircraft halfway around the world. Here they are able to take pictures to take video and spy on the enemy allowing us to save lives and prevent tragedy without endangering the life of a pilot. That is a great and wonderful advancement and has been a tremendous help in our struggles to bring an end to this war we fight in Afghanistan. 


So the drone falls to the ground. UH-OH. Lays there for anyone to come along take and take it apart, reverse engineer, and then do with the remainder of the craft as they wish. We sit half way around the world with a joy stick in our hand and worry in our minds. Hey people! Bubba's got an idea. How bout lets stick an old fashioned stick of dynamite in that sum bitch with a few old-fashioned matches that would strike on impact? Surely to hell if you can fly this damn thing from half way round the world, I be damned if you can't figure out some way to blow that sum'bitch to smither-eens on impact. Come on guys wake the hell up. Hell, hire Bubba he can figger this one out.
