Reverend Sharpton: Right to Vote

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Reverend Al Sharpton is standing up for voter's rights, he believes. He calls Voter ID Laws the evolution of Jim Crowe Laws, and he claims Missouri's attempt to enact Voter ID Laws is a "war on black people, it’s war on women, it’s war on immigrants. … We have got to turn this around and start targeting in Missouri those legislators that want to roll back our right to vote!"

Except there is no war on black people, there is no war on women, there is no war on immigrants, and there is no attempt by anybody to roll back his right to vote.

Sharpton is a great manipulator, and he is using one of the favorite tools of the liberal left. Facts and the truth mean nothing to these people. All they have to do is come up with some trumped up accusations, start pointing fingers, use their allies in the media to get their message out in the manner they intend, and watch the sheep fall in line.

The war on black people he refers to stems from the Trayvon Martin case, where there is no evidence of racism, and the shooter George Zimmerman, who is being labeled as an angry white man, is actually half Hispanic.  Images of Trayvon in his youth are being plastered all over the news, while more recent images of the teenage thug have been buried. Meanwhile, never mind attacks against whites, "for Trayvon Martin." Never mind that Sharpton is inciting violence. Never mind that racism against whites in attack after attack is ignored by the press.

There is no war on women, either. The accusation was set into motion when GOP Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum revealed his personal feelings that birth control promotes bad sexual behavior. Since Santorum, and his Catholic Faith, have a problem with contraception, the democrats automatically accused the republicans of wanting to take away women's "right to birth control." No republican ever made any statement supporting using the government to take away anybody's contraception.  The democrats simply rolled abortion into the birth control mix, and made the accusation louder.  Never mind the fact that despite Santorum's, or a number of other conservatives' opinion against abortion, or the promotion of birth control methods, conservatism is all about limited government, which means they would never try to use the federal government to enforce such a ridiculous ban.  The facts, however, doesn't matter, and like usual the silly lies of the Left are shouted far and wide despite no truth to what they are saying.  Meanwhile, the democrats themselves have been waging a war on motherhood, and we are hearing not even a peep about that from the press.

There is no war on immigrants, either. Conservatives, Republicans, and other non-leftists, love immigrants. The arrival of new immigrants is a part of what has made this country great. People from other countries have flocked to America seeking the freedom she offers, and the opportunity to pursue happiness. These immigrants came with the intention to become Americans, assimilate, and add to the flavor of the United States.  Illegal immigrants do not share these same goals. Illegal aliens seek to take from the system, for the most part, and by the very act of entering the country illegally they have shown a complete disregard for our laws.

Sharpton's attack is an attempt to demonize The Right through his tactics of public manipulation and armory of lies.  The specific target he is aiming at is Voter ID Laws.  Al Sharpton is claiming that requiring an ID to prove who you are, and that you are the person on the voting roster you say you are, is racist, and an attack against blacks, women, and immigrants. According to Sharpton, and his hard left liberal buddies, Voter ID Laws are an attempt to return to the days when some States imposed a poll tax in order to keep blacks from voting.

The privilege to vote is only given to those that are citizens of this country. Non-citizens do not have the right to participate in our elections. A Voter ID Law protects against voter fraud. So why, then, would liberal leftists like Sharpton be against such laws?

The liberal agenda can't win on its agenda, so they must destroy the opposition while lying about their own agenda to win votes. In addition to these tactics, they also buy votes with promises of entitlements, and other government handouts, hoping that the desire to be dependent upon the government becomes a more important issue to the voters than the other issues.

Since many of the candidates of the Republican Party are now willing to expose the liberal lies, the democrats have gone into full attack mode, using any argument they can, from racism to sexism, when it is liberalism that has truly been the enemy of minorities and women. The democrats have created a poverty class, and have increased its numbers, with their entitlement programs, literally enslaving Americans by making them dependent upon the government. They have supported legislation to murder the unborn, destroy the family unit, and divide Americans into groups so that they may divide and conquer while pandering to the different groups and promising to solve the chaos they created between the groups. Through the class warfare they create scapegoats, and promise peace as they seek to further divide.

Al Sharpton is a willing accomplice, fully aware of what he is doing, and fully willing to destroy this nation as founded for the promise of money and power through a growing government bureaucracy intent on eliminating individuality, choice, and ultimately the system of liberty this nation has prospered by for over two hundred years.

The Left calls what they are doing a defense of the right to vote, but they really want to continue the voter fraud they need to win elections. Voter ID Laws will eliminate the fraud, eliminate votes cast by illegal aliens, and fraudulent voting by people encouraged by voter fraud campaigns by groups like ACORN. Without the fraud, without the class warfare, and without division among the various groups, they are powerless.

Which is what separates The Right from The Left. The Left sees this nation as groups that need to be manipulated, controlled, and made dependent upon the ruling elite.  The Right sees this nation as being populated by individual Americans.
