Nope! No Need for Voter ID Laws in the U.S.

You can't have a debate with someone if you are debating one thing and they are debating something else. Such is the tactics of the Left when it comes to all things, but in particular, the Voter ID issue.

Reasonable people believe that since you have to have an ID to purchase medication, drive a car, write checks, buy a house and do thousands of other common things,...that mandating that people who vote in elections should be required to have a picture identification is a reasonable requirements and one that will help protect the voting process against fraud.  Especially since voter fraud continue to become a large problem in this country.  Reports of some counties with 10,767 votes for a Democrat in a county with a total population of 8,143 are rampant.

Reasonable people argue that an ID is practical and non-invasive. Democrats however argue that this is a racist mandate designed to keep the poor black, hispanic folk and people on welfare down and eliminate their voting rights.  And I thought you had to have a ID to cash welfare checks. Plus, who say's black and hispanic's are pre-diposed not to have ID? Many states are making a State ID very easy and cheap (if not free) to faciliate the integrity of the voting process.

Anyway, the video below highlights this issue.

Bumper Sticker of the Week

I don't think there is anyplace else in the world, more so than the U.S., where people use their cars to impart their beliefs, political or otherwise, onto the general public. This of course is accomplished through bumper stickers.

Sometimes it's very useful as a defensive driving such as when you see a car with a "Obama-Biden 2008" sticker, then you know to give it wide berth as the driver is probably an idiot,...one who will change lanes without a signal,...because they are clueless.

While I don't personally have bumper stickers on my vehicle, if I did it would have to be the bumper sticker of the week:

Obama May Be In Deep Trouble.....

....with Chief Justice John Roberts, US Supreme Court

An article by Anthony G. Martin - North St. Paul News

According to sources who watch the inner workings of the federal government, a smack-down of Barack Obama by the US Supreme Court may be inevitable.

Ever since Obama assumed the office of President, critics have hammered him on a number of Constitutional issues. Critics have complained that much, if not all of Obama's major initiatives run headlong into Constitutional roadblocks on the power of the federal government. Obama certainly did not help himself in the eyes of the Court when he used the venue of the State of the Union address early in the year to publicly flog the Court over its ruling that the First Amendment grants the right to various organizations to run political ads during the time of an election. The tongue-lashing clearly did not sit well with the Court, as demonstrated by Justice Sam Alito, who publicly shook his head and stated under his breath, 'That's not true,' when Obama told a flat-out lie concerning the Court's ruling.

As it has turned out, this was a watershed moment in the relationship between the executive and the judicial branches of the federal government. Obama publicly declared war on the court, even as he blatantly continued to propose legislation that flies in the face of every known Constitutional principle upon which this nation has stood for over 200 years.

Obama has even identified Chief Justice John Roberts as his number one enemy, that is, apart from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and so on. And it is no accident that the one swing-vote on the court, Justice Anthony Kennedy, stated recently that he has no intention of retiring until 'Obama is gone.' Apparently, the Court has had enough. The Roberts Court has signaled, in a very subtle manner, of course, that it intends to address the issues about which Obama critics have been screaming to high heaven. A ruling against Obama on any one of these important issues could potentially cripple the Administration. Such a thing would be long overdue.

First, there is ObamaCare, which violates the Constitutional principle barring the federal government from forcing citizens to purchase something. And no, this is not the same thing as states requiring drivers to purchase car insurance, as some of the intellectually-impaired claim. The Constitution limits the FEDERAL government, not state governments, from such things, and further, not everyone has to drive, and thus, a citizen could opt not to purchase car insurance by simply deciding not to drive a vehicle. In the ObamaCare world, however, no citizen can 'opt out.'

Second, sources state that the Roberts court has quietly accepted information concerning discrepancies in Obama's history that raise serious questions about his eligibility for the office of President. The charge goes far beyond the birth certificate issue. This information involves possible fraudulent use of a Social Security number in Connecticut , while Obama was a high school student in Hawaii . ..

And that is only the tip of the iceberg.

Third, several cases involving possible criminal activity, conflicts of interest, and pay-for-play cronyism could potentially land many Administration officials, if not Obama himself, in hot water with the Court. Frankly, in the years this writer has observed politics, nothing comes close to comparing with the rampant corruption of this Administration, not even during the Nixon years. Nixon and the Watergate conspirators look like choirboys compared to the jokers that populate this Administration.

In addition, the Court will eventually be forced to rule on the dreadful decision of the Obama DOJ suing the state of Arizona . That, too, could send the Obama doctrine of open borders to an early grave, given that the Administration refuses to enforce federal law on illegal aliens.

And finally, the biggie that could potentially send the entire house of cards tumbling in a free-fall is the latest revelation concerning the Obama-Holder Department of Justice and its refusal to pursue the New Black Panther Party. The group was caught on tape committing felonies by attempting to intimidate Caucasian voters into staying away from the polls. A whistle-blower who resigned from the DOJ is now charging Holder with the deliberate refusal to pursue cases against Blacks, particularly those who are involved in radical hate-groups, such as the New Black Panthers, who have been caught on tape calling for the murder of white people and their babies. This one is a biggie that could send the entire Administration crumbling--that is, if the Justices have the guts to draw a line in the sand at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
