Ballot Box Stuffing the Chicago Way

Posted on by

From the city so democratic even the dead get to vote to the nation so democratic even illegals get to vote.  This is the goal of the Progressive administration, led by that Chicago community organizer.  Ballot box stuffing is so critical to this administration that it’s even suing states for trying to protect the sanctity of an American’s vote by eliminating the ineligible from the roles so that a citizen’s vote is not diminished or canceled by vote fraud.

Progressives even go so far as to argue, with a straight face, that there is no voter fraud, it’s a phantom problem.  We didn’t hear that, though, about the Florida Presidential election outcome a while back.  We saw the power of it in a Minnesota US Senate race in 2008, and in a recent Washington Governor election, where the recounts were repeated until the right candidate won.  And in some jurisdictions, it’s simply a way of life.

And so, we have the Obama jurisdiction suing Florida for trying to remove Mickey Mouse from the voter rolls.  Certainly, in a massive effort like Florida’s we get the occasional outlier case like the war vet whose citizenship was questioned in that same Florida drive.  However, this just demonstrates the cynical hypocrisy of Obama’s administration: the Department of Homeland Security refuses to let Florida officials bounce their list off the DHS databases—the most current we have—as another check of who is a citizen and who is not eligible to vote.

Permitting ballot box stuffing by allowing anyone to vote—even white guys claiming to be Eric Holder—is the broadened Chicago Way to preserve Progressive incumbency.

Democrats Just Don’t Understand

President Obama said, at a campaign stop at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on the 12th of June,

They [voters] have pretty good instincts about what works and they’re not persuaded that an economy built on the notion that everybody here is on their own is somehow going to result in a stronger, more prosperous America.

It doesn’t get any clearer than this statement, which demonstrates an utter lack of understanding of what life is like without government intimately involved in it, without government ensuring that we’re not being too selfish to help each other out.  But with remarks like this, Democrats are only projecting their own selfishness onto the rest of us.

Americans as a whole donated over $300 billion to charity in 2009, for instance, the third year in a row we donated more than $300 billion in a single year.  In 2008, within these $300 billion, Gallup says that conservatives donated 3.5% to 4.5% of their incomes; liberals donated 1.25% to 1.5%.  Senator Joe Biden, who now considers it the patriotic thing to do to pay lots of taxes, donated 0.1% of his income in each of the years 2001-2004.  Last year, Vice President Biden bumped his giving to the lofty level of 1.5%.  It’s certainly true that Obama, and a fellow Progressive, President Bill Clinton, give significantly more, but these two are not typical Democrats, as those numbers above demonstrate.

Americans—conservative Americans, at any rate—do our duty, we help our fellows.  We don’t need government hands in our pockets to do that.  We need government hands out of our pockets so we can do that better.

Democrats assume all of America is like them.  Fortunately, we’re not.  Not by a long shot.

Voter ID and Hypocrisy

We already need a photo ID for nearly anything we do: board a commercial airplane, drive our car, check into a shooting range (oh, wait—we’re not supposed to be allowed to do that, either, according to some), get into a federal building; the list goes on and on.

Oh, and get into a Big Do involving the President or First Lady.

A PHOTO ID [WAS] BE REQUIRED TO ENTER THE MASSMUTUAL CENTER [for last May’s Massachusetts Democratic Party Convention, emphasis in the original]

A photo ID will be required to enter the 2012 Democratic National Convention this September in Charlotte.

On Friday, June 8th, those wishing to attend [Mrs Obama’s book signing] must…submit their social security number and show an official photo ID (driver’s license, passport) to a Secret Service agent

No Jim Crow here.  No siree.

Yet the Progressives demand that anyone should be allowed to vote—residents, the dead, cartoon characters, illegal aliens, non-citizens; it’s all the same to them.  They’re suing states for insisting on photo IDs in order to get a ballot.

Progressive Civility

In the run-up to the Wisconsin recall election, we got the Democrats’ attempt to smear Governor Walker with a carefully timed, just before the voting, dishonest claim of having fathered a child out of wedlock as a college kid.  We also got the Progressives’ preview of one of their core beliefs, that of a surveillance state, with a mailer they sent to all potential voters in the state:

We’re sending this mailing to you and your neighbors to publicise who does and does not vote.

… The chart shows the names of some of your neighbors, showing which have voted in the past.

After the June 5th election, public records will tell everyone who voted and who didn’t.

Ann Althouse has posted an image of the letter she received.  As Dr Althouse says, “This…is truly despicable.”

Now, post-election, Walker is the target—literally—of Democrats’ death threats.  Here are some of the…saner…threats.  And lest a reader thinks these are just angered BS, the Milwaukee Police Department and the Wisconsin Department of Justice think they’re real enough to investigate.

I wanna kill scott walker so fucking baddd!!!!! & the racist dumb assholes that voted for him

Please somebody kill Scott Walker.—

Scott walker will die within the next week ive already payed for the hit—

Oh Yeah, Somebody Gone Shoot Scott Walker White Ass.—

Scott Walker needs to die—

NBS I Know What School Scott Walker Son Go To—

As backdrop, we have this from last February by Congressman Michael Capuano (D, MA) about the Wisconsin recall election:

Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.

It’s been interesting to see the denunciation by the Democratic Party leadership and by the NLMSM of these Progressive examples of civil discourse.

Here they are from President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, David Axelrod, Jim Messina, Debbie Wasserman Schulz, and Valerie Jarrett:

Here they are from the NYT, LAT, WaPo, CNN, and MSNBC:

MSNBC had this on the 6th, the day after the elections and the day the threats began appearing.  And WaPo had this piece on the 6th, which though is more along the lines of mine.  Since then, it’s been

for all of them.

Pair this with the Democrats’ atrocious attacks on the very fabric of our democracy 15 months ago when they ran from the state of Wisconsin (and Indiana) in order to block the democratically elected government from being able to function at all, solely because those Democrats were unable to impose their views on the majority.

The Progressives’ view of democracy and of individual liberty is not something we can afford four more years of.  Or ever again.
