Notes from the Resistance...
Where does anyone get off requiring a free citizen to get permission to exercise a right? Who has legitimate moral authority to impose prior restraints on rights that, depending on your beliefs, are either “endowed by our Creator” or inherent to the condition of being human? [More]If photo IDs disenfranchise minority voters as "progressives" claim, why doesn't the same requirement disenfranchise them from their right to keep and bear arms?
But it’s not about safety or reliability anyway, and Deutch knows that, even if the useful idiots he’s swindling out of their rights do not. The people pushing for such mandates are only interested in forcing diktats on those they would disenfranchise, and on restricting their choices. [More]It's always instructive to see impulse control-challenged deutchbags blurt out their intent and expose the narratives crafted for public consumption.
Masking such advocacy as entertainment is reminiscent of something much more insidious. Subjecting audiences to propaganda to promote a government monopoly of violence and disenfranchise citizens from natural and civil rights is demonstrably manipulative and disrespectful of viewers. It’s also dishonest with advertisers, who signed on to sponsor entertainment, not to finance causes that undermine the rights of their customers. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the A-B-C's of a contemptible and scandalous public-private partnership.

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a permanent injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Julia Robinson in 2018 and found that Kansas’s requirement to provide identification when registering to vote violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment as well as the National Voter Registration Act. [More]Yeah, the only people we want to "disenfranchise" are you haters.
“Vote early, vote often, whatever you can get away with,” he told the union. [More]Disenfranchise everyone who disagrees with a tyrannical agenda. And then impose illegitimate edicts under force of armed "law."

This sounds like a broken record. I see a lot of stuff designed to disenfranchise and harass the "law-abiding," but don't see a thing that will stop one POS predator from doing whatever he feels like doing whenever and wherever he feels like doing it.
Who thinks the record won't continue to be broken after all this?

Earlier today I got a text from a friend with photographs of three absentee ballot applications that came to his residence. One was addressed to him. The other two were addressed to a couple who formerly owned his home, but moved to Arizona in 2017. There is literally nothing standing in the way of his checking the third alternative on question number 4, and obtaining absentee ballots in the names of those former residents, which he could then cast, thus voting three times instead of once.

Proposed bill to tax rifles, high capacity magazines [More]Ah, the Disproportionately Disenfranchise People of Color of Their Rights Act of 2020 -- that'll price them out of the range of "those people," at least the "law-abiding" ones. What a "progressive" idea! I wonder how "chief sponsor" Ann Gillespie looks in a pointed hood.
Common reasons for ballots being rejected: voters failed to sign the envelop, the signature on the envelope doesn't match the one election offices have on file or ballots are received far after the deadline. [More]
So we're supposed to worry if those incapable of paying attention and following simple instructions "disenfranchise" themselves?

On Tuesday night, voter turnout was higher than it was in the last midterm cycle — a very inconvenient truth for Dems who spent months claiming the recently enacted election integrity law would disenfranchise voters. [More]

If criminal background checks and requiring photo IDs really do produce unlawfully discriminatory rights-denying results, the inescapable conclusion is agents of the government are willfully, with premeditation, engaged in a criminal conspiracy to disenfranchise minorities from their right to keep and bear arms. On two different fronts. [More]This morning's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes the Obama administration is claiming in court that if you require criminal background checks, you may be a racist. Aside from being a great launching point for a Jeff Foxworthy parody, they're directly contradicting the position they take on guns.
Lott, who is a long-time opponent of gun control, argues that if background checks don’t limit the rights of gun owners, then they wouldn’t disenfranchise voters, either, would they? [More]Touché!
