Joe Walsh: Jesse Jackson Trying To 'Keep African Americans Down On Some Plantation'

It is the community that has always been the supporter of those who are circumstantially down on their luck, and which provides food baskets and other support. Part of the problem is that despite generations of community support, there is TOO MUCH "community," too many people, and growing, dividing scarce resources among too many mouths. Our community leaders; politicians, pastors, role models are not doing their job in encouraging less population and more education; less dependence on government, more dependence on self. It is one thing to offer support and help to those who have fallen on bad times; another when there are too many because of poor population managment, poor (non-existent) community leadership to keep young girls from considering getting pregnant, you get what we have now.

Florida Voter Purge Will Continue, Defying Federal Warning

Maybe not the first thing, but you definitely would get caught up in the "affirmation" groups-churches,advocates,others-who misguidedly align your desire for work and opportunity with voting for those who are liberal in ther promises to help you get that, even illegally if necessary.

The core of this may be Raegan's Amnesty in the 70'S, the blind eye of business seeking cheap labor, and the complicity of the Mexican government in promoting large-scale immigration to the U.S to secure the Billions in remittances that help support an over-populated and no-growth economy that doesn't provide jobs or education.

New immigrants, particularly Latinos, want jobs in order to support their families, or in he case of the singles-women- a chance for opportunity, and child-bearing that gives them an "anchor" from which to particpate in the system.

So, in that sense, you are correct; they didn't illegally emigrate for an opportunity to vote, but some , not a small amount, get caught up by sponsors and supporters who encourage illegal behavior in order to promote their causes.

Florida Voter Purge Will Continue, Defying Federal Warning

Wow! Sounds like your logic went to lunch and didn't come back. Scott is no less a politician than Holder and Obama, trying to stuff ballot boxes with less-than-responsible voting from ineligible and even illegal voting practices. Say what ylou want about changes in voting laws and identification requirements, not only inFlorida but now 23+ other states, it's long overdue. By some estimates over hundreds of thousands of illegal votes were cast last election by ineligible voters, most not even Citizens, to say nothing of double voting, and vote "buying."

Florida Voter Purge Will Continue, Defying Federal Warning

Intent and directly related Proof is required; none is presented or claimed. You can't prove a negative, and rewquiring "proof" of Citizenship should be a minimum for any voter. I'd be happy to show my drivers license, picture I.D., whatever, if it establishes my right to vote. That lazy people and their oh-so-transparent supporters want to make it easier , rather than just the standard of "reasonable" (and Constitutional) is evidence of knowing that most Americans feel that Citizenship and voting rights have real value and don't want that value diluted or cheated upon.

Florida Voter Purge Will Continue, Defying Federal Warning

No matter his purported "motivations," the truth of the matter is that voting is a right reserved for Citizens. To dilute or negate the votes of Citizens with illegal or ineligible voters is itself a crime. And, one could easily point out that the hue and cry of Democrats and liberals is based solely on a desire to pack the polls with as many like-minded people as possible. If transparency evidences this illegal sctivity by Democrats, no wonder they resist. Using the excuse of the travails of the few who have difficulty producing their proof pales in comparison to the double/triple damage of allowing illegal voters into the polls.

The fact that liberals have devalued Citizenship to the degree that they have by cheapening the voting process through illegal registration and related activity, and using the excuse of discrimination when none exists, is proof positive of the nefariousness of their intentions.

Florida Voter Purge Will Continue, Defying Federal Warning

Our country was founded on the prnciples of representative government, "of the people, by the people,and for the people."

As such, the pre-eminent responsibility, and privilege, of Citizenship, and of free speech, is the Vote. It seems that establishing the right to vote through transparent procedure (and proof of Citizenship should be the primary one) is a prime duty of election officials, otherwise what value my vote, potentially diluted and negated by illegal/ ineligible voters?

Congress needs to legislate national voting standards, at least for national elective offices, that use Constitutionally-derived principles, primarily Citizenship and proof thereof.

States would be sure to follow because whether you are a Republican, Democrat or Indpendent/other, all agree that ONLY Citizens are entitled to the privilege and responsibility of voting.

Americans' Heads Getting Bigger In Size, Changing Shape, Anthropologists Say

You comment refers to those like snake farmers and spider handlers, who deliberately inject or otherwise infuse their systems with small amounts of toxic venom to build immunity. Maybe our evolution will confer the same type of resistance/immunity to free radicals and genetic mutation, but the obvious pace of change evidenced by this and many, many other research studies argues that it's happening too fast. Just look at disease statisitics for the last hundred yeears, and you get an idea of the effects of modern society on the human species
