Bring on the poll taxes and literacy tests, and no date for LeBron.

The trial over Pistolvania's voter identification law (a law someone brilliantly described as "a bad solution looking for a problem") continues in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.  I would say that it's not going to end up well for the state, but you never know with these Commonwealth Court Judges.

This is what Judge Simpson said:

"This is a high-profile case. There's a lot of anxiety here," he said. "There will be a lot of people very unhappy with my decision no matter what I do."
But, he said, "take heart," because the case will likely go to higher courts before it is over. 

Oh ohh.

Anyway, I don't want to get into a lot of legalese, but the state has to show a compelling state interest if this law is to be upheld. This is the type of scrutiny that is applied to laws such as this that deals with voting rights.

The state is trying hard to show that they are doing everything in their power to insure that everyone will have access to proper state ID cards, and (probably realizing that it would be foolish to do so) are not even arguing that they are implementing these laws to prevent voter fraud.

Still, there is no denying that a million people will be affected if this law is passed, and these people will have their access to the ballot box denied. This would be sad for Pistolvania and for our country.

Most of the people affected by this law will be older, poorer, and browner, which would explain why republicans couldn't wait to pass it. One republican lawmaker here in Pistolvania, in an unguarded moment, even admitted the real reason for the law:

"The Pennsylvania law fanned partisan flames when Republican state House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, who helped pass the law, said at a party gathering: "Voter ID ... is going to allow [presumptive GOP presidential nominee] Gov. [Mitt] Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done."

Thank you for your honesty Mr. Turzai.

One thing you have to love about this case is one of the lead plaintiffs selected by the ACLU and the NAACP. Honestly, every time I see Viviette Applewhite I want to slap Tom Corbett and his republican pals upside their heads. And, if I am going to be honest, I want to slap some of you no good no voting Negroes as well. (How in the hell is this poor 93 year old woman going to find her birth certificate or a driver's license?) If Ms. Applewhite is willing to go through so much at 93 years old, why aren't more of you running to vote when you get the chance?

Anyway, it's interesting to note that our own Secretary of Commonwealth, Carol Aichele, doesn't even know what the damn law she is supposed to uphold, says.

"Secretary of Commonwealth Carol Aichele on the fifth day of a trial over Pennsylvania's voter identification law testified at one point that she didn't know what the law said.

She was asked about the details of the law by a lawyer for the plaintiffs, and at one point responded, "I don’t know what the law says,"  

Yes Carol, but I am sure that you know what it will do.

Finally, I wasn't going to touch on this, but it has gotten so much play on twitter and other places that I am going to touch on the LeBron --ask Missy for a date-- controversy.

First, let me rip LeBron just a little bit. Now I know, I know, it might have been totally innocent, and maybe you did just want to eat some chow together in the cafeteria. (Not exactly Nobu, but I suppose food is food.)Still, did you really have to...here, let me let you all read the story:

"He was rejected a championship for his first eight seasons in the NBA.

But who in their right mind would turn down a dinner invitation with King James (if you live outside of Cleveland that is)?

Well, someone with a curfew in the Olympic Village, it turns out.
Lauren Perdue, one of the top U.S. swimmers who swam the first leg of the 4x200-meter freestyle relay, first sent out a tweet before the London Games acting flabbergasted when she apparently met a fellow, more recognized Olympian.

"Lebron James just invited me to dinner…Um wuuuutttt?!?" she tweeted.
The Charlotte Observer then reported that Perdue was officially asked to dinner on Wednesday.

"He was kind of joking," Perdue said. "But he was basically like, 'Would you like to come eat with me at the dining hall?' And I said, 'Um, I'm sorry, I have a curfew.'" [Story]

LeBron, I hope you see how these folks are clowning you, and girlfriend couldn't wait to blow up twitter to tell her followers that she turned you down.

Now here is the thing, why even put yourself in that position? Again, it might have been totally innocent, but come on man, you are LaBron freaking James! Spend a few weeks with your boys in London, get your ball on, collect your gold medal, and head back to South Beach. No need to blow up Missy's head with the invite.

Now let me rip the media here in Merica for a minute:

If LeBron's teammate, Kevin Love, had asked Lauren Perdue for a date and she cried curfew, would this be a major news headline? That was a rhetorical question; I think we all know the answer to that one.

Anyway LeBron, good luck explaining this to the Fiancé  when you get back home. You just better be glad you play basketball and not golf. At least there won't be any clubs just lying around the house.

    So Negroes can't get ID, almost a million people in Penn? You have got to be joking.

    Well, I guess this is proof that they can't fit into this society in any way shape or form without "special" steps taken just for them. How else can so few people vote so often.

    "While NAACP President Benjamin Jealous lashed out at new state laws requiring photo ID for voting, an NAACP executive sits in prison, sentenced for carrying out a massive voter fraud scheme.

    In a story ignored by the national media, in April a Tunica County, Miss., jury convicted NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers on 10 counts of fraudulently casting absentee ballots. Sowers is identified on an NAACP website as a member of the Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee.

    Sowers received a five-year prison term for each of the 10 counts, but Circuit Court Judge Charles Webster permitted Sowers to serve those terms concurrently, according to the Tunica Times, the only media outlet to cover the sentencing.

    “This crime cuts against the fabric of our free society,” Judge Webster said."

    So using a 93 year old woman essentially you want there to be no laws, no ID required, no proof of who you are...you want us to be Jamaica.

    Why can't Blacks handle ANYTHING in society? Nothing, no tests, no education requirements, no simple presentation of an ID? You have all these race baiting leaders and bloggers who if they wanted to could surely get mrs applewhite an ID.

    Still, with all the unfairness, injustice, increasing kill rate, joblessness, and police brutality Blacks still calls America "Home Sweet Home".

    This is so depressing. Field, aren't you and some of your cronies depressed the way we are treated? And this is happening under a black President! That proves the emptiness and inhumanity of capitalism.

    So what does blowing bubbles have to do with getting free ID's that this white nation pays for? Yet even that is impossible for A million blacks in one state. Yet no other race is impacted (what else is knew) How in the world in the year 2012 can blacks be so backwards so incompetent so off the grid that they are poor, but dont get welfare, dont work, dont have ID's what do they do?

    First of all, Lauren would NOT have turned down Love's offer. She is attracted to wm only. She DOES have a great body, though. Some white dude is going to be very happy with her.

    LeBron had better leave those white women alone. He obviously haven't heard of Tiger Woods. Besides, LeBron doesn't have the 'look' to attract a ww unless she looks like Godzilla.

  17. Voter Fraud is Alive and Well in PA11:38 PM

    A quick GOOGLE search on "Voter Fraud in PA." brought up this piece:

    GOP Election Board members have been tossed out of polling stations in at least half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status.

    A Pennsylvania judge previously ruled that court-appointed poll watchers could be NOT removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, but that is exactly what is happening, according to sources on the ground.

    It is the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process.

    Denying access to the minority (in this case Republican) poll watchers and inspectors is a violation of Pennsylvania state law. Those who violate the law can be punished with a misdemeanor and subjected to a fine of $1,000 and sent to prison between one month and two years.

    Those on site are describing the situation as "pandemonium" and there may be video coming of the chaos.

    Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28.

    “Election board officials guard the legitimacy of the election process and the idea that Republicans are being intimidated and banned for partisan purposes does not allow for an honest and open election process,” said McCain-Palin spokesman Ben Porritt in a statement to Townhall.

    The City of Brotherly Love was roiled in controversy during the 2004 election because of rigged voting machines that showed nearly 2,000 votes for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry before the polls had opened. A man also used a gun to intimidate poll workers at Ward 30, division 11 in 2004.

  18. I think it's really important to make a distinction regarding the law, and why some Republicans supported it. The law is necessary. There is evidence of irregularities, as well as the motor/voter law that allows anyone applying for a PA license to register to vote at the same time, without asking if applicants are elidgible to vote.

    The 21st narrative of white privilege is in many ways simply a normative inversion of the 19th century narrative of white supremacy.

    All this leads to the strangeness of American in 2012 which might perplex outsiders. For example, Malia Obama, the daughter of two individuals with law degrees from Harvard, would be able to benefit from affirmative action, because she lacks white skin privilege. In contrast, the child of a poor family from Appalachia who was white would not gain any preference, because by their nature as a white person they had the right of white skin privileged from which they benefited. You might assert here that there are points in favor for geographic and class diversity at elites schools. But from what I have read Thomas Espenshade’s work shows that elite universities tend to discriminate against rural and lower class whites (as well as Asians) to maintain diversity through admissions of sufficient numbers blacks and Hispanics.

    Well connected whites with high socioeconomic statuses are doing fine under the current dispensation. Unfortunately, non-elite whites have contributed to their own situation via the construction of the racial republic in the 19th century, which has now been turned upside down to their disadvantage.

    One can move under false premises for a very long time, but not indefinitely. The winds of change are picking up.

    field confabulates:

    Still, there is no denying that a million people will be affected if this law is passed, and these people will have their access to the ballot box denied.

    In other words, you're admitting there are at least one million illegal voters in Pennsylvania. So stopping a million illegal voters from voting is good, isn't it?

    This would be sad for Pistolvania and for our country.

    There's some black logic for you. Leave it to you to claim that a reduction in voter fraud is bad.

    Most of the people affected by this law will be older, poorer, and browner, which would explain why republicans couldn't wait to pass it.

    More accurately, the people affected will be people who are not entitled to vote. However, based on your description of ineligible voters, it's clear Democrats overzealously register ineligible voters.

    One republican lawmaker here in Pistolvania, in an unguarded moment, even admitted the real reason for the law:

    "Voter ID ... is going to allow Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done."


    In other words, the presence of those one million ineligible voters in the last presidential election handed victory to Obama.

    Your assessment makes it clear you believe Republican voters are eligible to vote, while also believing there are a million Democrats who are not. Thanks for coming clean, though I know you didn't intend to.

  26. Isn't it amazing that despite the fact that whenever these positive voter id laws are tested in court, the states universally admit the complete lack of an existing voter fraud problem in need of a fix, but instead defend the laws as pure prospective prevention, yet the republiklan rank-n-file remain universally oblivious to this admitted fact and persist in asserting an (admitted non-existent) existing voter fraud problem. I can think of no better example of the derangement of the republiklan base than this persistent and universal assertion of myth and legend over fact. Even the climate change deniers admit the fact of escalating extreme weather patterns and temperatures, they just deny that it's caused by the billions of tons of formerly sequestered carbons and other greenhouse gasses that we humans emit every year.

    If I consider not having ID? Inasmuch as an ID is not a requirement at this time, the ID itself is not the issue.

    Voter eligibility is the issue. And obviously it matters most in tight local elections. But the presence of ineligible voters in Florida turned the 2000 presidential election on its head, and almost changed the outcome.

    We're going to see a close election this year. How close? No one knows, but it could be as close as it was in 2000. Hence, in theory, the presidential election could come down to a single vote in one state.

    That law was not in effect during the previous national election, so it is you who has the faulty logic.

    Yeah. Right. It was the lack of effective voter-registration integrity that makes it necessary for voters to have a voter-ID.

    By the way, it was Al Gore who sought help from the Supreme Court to determine who won in Florida.

    farley retarded said:

    Ah, it's that old black fiction brought back to life.

    Africa, obviously, has always been overweighted with natural resources that blacks in Africa were incapable of exploiting.

    Also, blacks in Africa NEVER developed a written language, so there was no recording of events by the people who lived them. What we know about black Africa comes from the efforts of traders and explorers -- whites -- who searched the continent.

    Moreover, the muslims weren't much as historians either.

    Moreover, the term "empire" is a big stretch. If you mean some tribes grew in power through gang-like death dealing and conquest, then there were a few that enjoyed periods of control. But they all failed. However, the tribalism lived on, and it still defines the "culture" in black Africa.

    In some ways it's worse because there's a further mix of tribalism and Islam. Certain death in so many ways.

    ...and how long did it take the white man to bring the world to it's utter knees?

    Black Africa never got out of the starting gate. But the white and asian worlds did. The advanced cultures and societies of the white and asian world make the Africans look even more pathetic than ever.

    Disease and misery are the defining characteristics of life for most African. Worse, even though the wheel was discovered long, long ago, it seems that Africans cannot adapt to it.

    In other words, we know Africans are never first with knowledge. But even though the white and asian worlds have advanced in every way, thereby freeing Africans from the intellectual chore of expanding the mental frontier, the Africans reject the free knowledge that could turn their continent of misery into a place of enormous prosperity and well being.

    But, Africans seem to have an aversion to building a better world for themselves, preferring to stick with their old tribal nonsense and idiocy.

    Compare the two, if you're able, which I completely doubt.

    After thousands of years of being inhabited by blacks, Africa is still a continent of people in their intellectual infancy.

    On the other hand, the white and asian worlds have zoomed ahead over the last 500 years. But the last hundred years were the most extraordinary.

    And the coming hundred years will make the last hundred look like Africa's continuing intellectual infancy.

    Literacy tests are a good thing. People should at least be able to explain that they understand the issues before they're allowed to vote on them.

    As far as the alleged "bubbles" test, there is some truth to that myth.

    Blacks aren't interested in "equal opportunity" and being "raised up", they're only interested in getting the goodies. When it becomes painfully obvious they can't meet even minimal standards of non-blacks, they simply demand a new standard - ie, a "non-standard" for blacks.

    And then they wonder why the rest of the world looks at black "achievement" with contempt and derision.

    Blacks are so self-absorbed and narcissistic that they can't understand why they are repulsive to non-blacks. They honestly think everyone is supposed to care about what they think, what they want, and that they're attractive.

    Or not. Remember when the Wookie had her a$$ handed to her on the public stage when she tried to bring the Olympics home to Chicago? She told some sad story about poor black kids in Chicago and promised "there wouldn't be a dry eye in the house".

    No one cared then about "black issues". No one cares now. Get over yourselves. Black men are always trying to hit on me and my daughters, we find them physically repulsive and openly mock them. At least the swimmer was polite. I know my daughter's wouldn't have been.

    He was killing them. They were rollling in the aisles.

    Somali comedian who poked fun at Islamists shot dead
    Aug 01, 2012

    Gunmen shot dead a well-known comedian known for poking fun at Al-Qaeda linked Shebab insurgents in the Somali capital Mogadishu, officials and colleagues said Wednesday.

    Abdi Jeylani Malaq Marshale, in his late thirties or early forties, was killed late Tuesday, minutes after leaving Kulmiye radio station, where he worked as drama producer and performer.

    "Two men shot and seriously injured Marshale... the comedian was later pronounced dead," said police lieutenant Mohamed Gaal, adding that "unfortunately the assailants escaped."

    The shooting of Marshale, who also worked for the London-based Universal TV station and who reported having received death threats on several occasions, is the latest in a string of apparently targeted killings against media workers.

    Colleagues mourned the loss of a man they called a leader of the war-torn nation's comedy scene. His shows have aired on Universal TV and are also available on YouTube.

    "He had not done anything wrong to anybody, as far as we are concerned, but they shot him in the head and shoulders," said Yusuf Keynan, a presenter at Kulmiye radio.

    "This is a black day for the entire entertainment industry, he was a leader in Somali comedy and everybody liked his performance."

    Africa was the center of civilizatio until about 3,000 years ago, when Egypt was eclipsed by other civilizations.

    Egyptians were (and are) a semitic people. They are not black.

    The white man has been responsible for every great advancement of the past several millenia. Instead of resenting this fact, while reaping its benefits, why don't blacks get on board and pitch in?

So there must be something about you that attracts emotionally/mentally-deluded sick bm.

    It's the condition/recipe for having a small molasses like intelligence such as yours bog down, apparantly quite easy in your case:

    When you get a real fat white disengenious liberal to suck in a word that he doesnt understand, mixed in with items that are overly complex for his sadistic self hating brain to process and sprinkle with an obvious euphemism.

    Your end result is a Overeating self hating fat white disengenious liberal who is "mindboggedly" stupid. It is a euphemism for the really, really stupid who would take an hour to understand a simple point or even look up the proper spelling of a word so as to avoid further embarrassment and who actually has the nerve to be sure that it is everyone else who is stupid, but it's not him "this time".

    Do you need me to define euphemism or can you look that up yourself?

    An article in this week's People Magazine tells us that James Holmes had mailed a notebook with a detailed description, including drawings, of his planned massacre to a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado, and that the package with the notebook had been in the mailroom since at least July 12, eight days before the shooting, but that the package was not opened and read until this week.

    Despite the efforts to make James Holmes conform to a stereotype which would be acceptable to one or another of our current political fever dreams (He’s a Muslim … He’s a tea-party guy … He’s a Democrat … He’s a gun nut … etc.), the truth is almost certainly that he’s a very crazy guy who scared lots of people and who, in a normal and rational society, would have been placed in, and remained in, a state hospital for the rest of his life.

    The reason he was not is due to the pathological excesses of the "Civil Rights" ideology. As someone who worked in a California State Hospital I know for a fact that it is impossible these days to get anyone committed. In fact one of the reasons there are so many homeless street people is that they are mostly mentally ill. In another time they would have been in a state hospital. Decades ago theses state hospital were a small little community that was self-sufficient. They had their own little dairy farms, where the higher functioning patients could milk the cows. They did their own laundry and dry cleaning. All of that is gone. Under the euphemism of human rights the patients are no longer allowed to milk the cows and the dairies have all been sold and housing tracts have replaced the acres of farmland.
    All the patient do is spent their day watching cartoons and going outside for smoke breaks. Occasionally they see a psychiatrist for a med check and speak to a psychologist.

    Giving psychotic people the same rights as sane people is insane.

    You really do live in an alternate universe. So have you managed to work out in your mind just yet why if it is as you say mostly Whites on government handouts, why the Congressional Black Caucus, Obama and people like you are all democrats and keep demanding more and more and more programs more spending more free stuff, otherwise the poor black people will be impacted? You call the party of Republicans whites and have identified them as the ones who want to hurt black people by reducing handouts and making them work. Why would they do that if the majority of their voters were poor whites who didn't actually fund this country and your affirmative action programs?

    But I only went because Field Said I should. I don't know any White people engaging in incest but judging from your comments it must be common among the whites who will talk to you. Not very unusual for trailer park trash to hang out with blacks. Especially the fat ones.

    How does the Black community get around not engaging in incest when so many don't know who their real father is? Could you be sleeping with your cousin Tylenolisha and not even know it because D'airy Queenisha told LeTroya that he was the daddy for this baby when it really was your father Shittavio Dartay who was the daddy?

    Wow, the level of insensitivity and ignorance here is amazing. People shouldn't make the mistake of assuming everyone's circumstances i.e. having a car, are the same as yours. Getting a state ID is more than into the DMV. First, you need two forms of ID before you can get a state ID. So better hope you have a social security card and birth certificate handy. Gee, don't have those? Well, I guess you can fork over the $20 plus shipping and handling to order a birth certificate online (hope you have a credit card or a bank account), and then try to plan a trip to the social security office to get a new SS card. Next comes the trip to the DMV and another $10-$20 for a state ID card. Don't forget to take proof of residency with you. Oh, and if you have any outstanding parking tickets, fines, fees, or taxes you can kiss that ID goodbye unless you have the money.

    The point is, a lot of people work, a lot of people don't have easy access to the internet (to order new documents), and a lot of people don't have cars. Trying to time a trip to the SS office and DMV between work and limited DMV office hours may be difficult if not impossible. Then you have to consider the people who live in rural areas where the nearest DMV or SS office is 30 miles away and there is no bus to catch. This law is intended to take advantage of citizens in tough circumstances--which a lot of CITIZENS are. It's not about "people not wanting to do anything for themselves," it's about making voting as difficult as possible to minimize participation.

    So in the interest of keeping voter fraud and illegal activity alive now we have to consider that Blacks don't have birth certificates, internet connections cards, SS numbers, Work but have no job ID, have no electric or power bills to prove residence, don't have credit cards or bank accounts, don't have ID's or EBT cards, may have warrants and outstanding fines unpaid parking tickets.

If Barack wins another term the blame is solely on the shoulders of Mittens and the GOP's lack of vetting.

    You must be right, it's the White people who sue for discrimination because they failed the test and didn't have the skills. They are the ones who never say, maybe I need to learn more or study harder or maybe just can't do it. Nope.

    They are the ones who cant answer a multiple choice question with the leading paragraph providing the answer and the whites are the ones who claim this is only because "they were white" if they were black then they would have known the answer and passed the test.

    They are the ones suing school districts because they have majority Black and Hispanic kids in the advanced math and science classes and not enough whites and Asians and they are the ones saying this is only true because they are white.

    Whites love responsible for black communities being told they need to stay and pay otherwise they are racist (white flight) Whites love being told they hands down have the skills and passed the test but that poor black guy who could barely eek out the lowered standards is disadvantaged and needs the gig.

    Irony, yup.

    I bagged groceries in an embassy/AAFES commissary for tips as a teenager. The general rule was that enlisted people tipped generously, officers (& especially their wives) tipped more stingily with increased rank, and the diplomats hardly tipped at all. Every once an a while you'd get stiffed by an enlisted guy, and occasionally an colonel's wife would add a zero, but I never got a generous tip from a diplomat. The ambassador's wife was famous for giving no more than a quarter for a half hour's work bagging and loading the tons of food she bought weekly. We loathed her.

    Haven't gotten the specifics but sounds like a bit of hype by the media. Possibly an aircraft deviating for weather got a little too close for comfort because the airspace around DCA is very tightly controlled due to the number of restricted areas so your options when deviating for weather is limited. In reality those aircraft would not have collided because given a choice between running into another aircraft and violating restricted airspace is a no brainer.
