Black Voters 'Afraid' of Electronic Voting Machines, Activist Says -- 09/30/2004:
"'I got the hell out of there Saturday, and I would suggest you do, too. Until we get rid of those Bushes (President George W. Bush and his brother, Florida Governor Jeb Bush), we're going to have a problem in Florida,' Bland said. "
No, Ms. Joanne Bland, the problem is not President or Governor Bush. The problem is Democrats and the "culture of failure" in "minority" neighborhoods. The problem is Democrats keeping poor people poor by discouraging achievement and encouraging mediocrity.

Black Voters 'Afraid' of Electronic Voting Machines, Activist Says -- 09/30/2004:
"An African-American civil rights spokeswoman said on Wednesday that the new computerized voting machines 'terrify' her, and that blacks are 'afraid of machines like that.'"
I thought the reason we went to electronic voting machines (without paper trails, by the way) is because some people (read: Democrat Floridians) are too stupid to put a stick in a hole. Monkeys in the jungle have figured out how to poke a stick in a hole in a tree to get food. Why can't we humans figure out how to stick a hole in a card to indicate our vote? Maybe this is more evidence that too many stupid people vote? While a literacy test would help keep stupid people from voting, unfortunately such things have been abused in the past and have since been ruled unconstitutional. While I'm not saying that one must solve a Rubick's Cube to be able to vote, but being able to read a ballot and poking a stick in a hole is not unreasonable.
Although I would not say that I am "terrified" or "afraid" of electronic voting machines, but I am concerned that they do not produce a paper ballot or any kind of paper trail. How do we know that there won't be voter fraud, which has been shown to be a primary Democrat tactic in the past? How do we know that they won't fiddle with the machines or that there isn't some hidden code in the device's programming to overcound Democrat votes and/or undercount Republican votes? What do we do if the device is mishandled or if it malfunctions and loses all the votes on the device?

Is Cat Stevens a Terrorist?:
"In 1996, Imam Hamza Yusuf declared, 'I am a citizen of this country [the U.S.A.] not by choice but by birth. I reside in this country not by choice but by conviction in attempting to spread the message of Islam in this country. I became Muslim in part because I did not believe in the false gods of this society whether we call them Jesus or democracy or the Bill of Rights or any other element of this society that is held sacrosanct by the ill-informed peoples that make up this charade of a society. . . . [T]here should be no voting or debate . . . [W]e have no room for ayes or nays.'"
And you still think that Muslims pose no threat to Liberty and to the United States of America?

Democrat slugs area GOP chief, GPD says.
Another example of the open-minded, tolerant, peace-loving Democrats going "postal" because they know they are losers. In this case, the Democrats sent a goon, an assistant professor at Santa Fe Community College -- influencing our young skulls full of mush in a government school -- to the Republican HQ to start a fight with the staffers there. Unfortunately for the professor/goon, he picked on the wrong guy to fight. The guy the goon decided to fight, Travis Horn, was a off-duty police officer. After Mr. Horn convinced the goon to leave the office, the goon took a poke at Mr. Horn. Mr. Horn was forced to defend himself and put the goon in a world of hurt.
The goon, still not learning his lesson, is still belligerant and threatens a lawsuit against Mr. Horn. This is one trial I'd love to be on the jury. IMHO, since the goon went out of his way to start a fight, and since deady force was not used, any injuries he sustained in that fight were of his own darn fault. In fact, I'd put the goon in the county lockup for a month and subject him to a few years of anger management therapy to see if that helps him learn the error of his ways.
If the Democrat goon had just minded his own business, none of this would have happened. Let that be a lesson to you Democrats. Keep your nose out of other people's business, and keep your dirty fingers out of our wallets.
