For as long as I remember, an endless number of prominent people have been saying that it is important that all Americans vote. I was, initially, ambivalent about that message, but now I am its ferocious opponent. It does not matter a lick whether 50-percent of legal voters come out, of if 98-percent of them appear at the polls.
Voting is a supremely personal choice. If an American knows the history of his republic, appreciates the sacrifices of his parents and other forebearers, knows its current problems, seeks to improve his family’s economic lot, and believes in equality before the law, he will break his back be informed about what is at stake, get to a poll, and vote according to his family’ interests, thereby helping to protect his nation’s legacy and future.
Why in the world would anyone want to have people who do not care anything about the foregoing considerations to be constantly pushed — by media personalities, politicians, celebrities, pundits, clergy, do-gooders, etc. — to go and vote? Those who choose not to vote can only be pushed to do so if they if there is some material payoff or legal preference in that action for them or their group. Nancy Pelosi’s insane claim in 2018 that the Congress would be better than ever because the largest number of women ever were elected to it was dead wrong. It is the worst and most corrupt Congress in modern memory, and the female Democratic members have shown they are only rude, abusive, weak-minded, and hectoring school-marms. Simply put, more voters ensures only that there are more voters. As the freshman, female Democratic congresswomen of 2018 have proven, “more” has everything to do with numbers and less than zero to do with quality.
Indeed, it is politicians, media, and clergymen pushing, threatening, or bribing people to vote that yields the election of such barely human refuse as Pelosi, Schumer, Durbin, Cuomo, Biden, Murphy, Wolf, Hoyer, Whitmer, Cortez, Sanders, Harris, Newsom, Warren, and, really, the entirety of the Democratic Party, especially its terrorist, subhuman species known as the mostly White, Black Lives Matter. If the nation’s politically ignorant, anarchist, criminal, drug-addled, and anti-American stay home, the republic loses nothing. Rather, it gains enormously by having an election decided by informed patriots.
Elections decided by legal voters who take the trouble to physically get to a poll, care about their country, their family, and their historical legacy, after all, is the basis for having elections in the first place. No matter for whom these people vote, they are those the Founders and the Constitution most aspired to have as voters among the great mass of citizens the latter enfranchised. Of course, the Founders were dealing with a better educated, more widely literate, and more critical-thinking population than that which exists today. Indeed, the Founders’ generation believed the new republic needed such a citizenry to survive. In October, 1787, for example, the Federalist Noah Webster argued that although property
“is considered as the basis of freedom of the American yeomanry, there are other auxiliary supports [for freedom], among which is the information of the people. In no country is education so general – in no country, have the body of the people such knowledge of the rights of men and the principles of governments. This knowledge, joined with a sense of liberty and watchful jealousy [That is, constant suspicion of the national government’s intent], will guard our constitutions, and awaken the people to an instantaneous resistance of encroachments. [1]
Mail-in voting is the ultimate proof that the well-informed citizenry on which the Founders grounded the republic’s survival is long gone, thanks to the Democrats, the media, and the teacher unions. The mail-in ploy has nothing to do with the Chinese Virus, and even less with the cynical sappiness of claims that it would protect the health of Americans. It is a simply another Democrat ploy to find a way to make sure ignorant, lazy, illegally here, and easily corrupted people cast ballots.
In short, mail-ins would allow many more slugs to vote, and permit the Democrats to cull greater vote-harvests from the plantation they created by bringing in immigrants from countries where authoritarianism, bribery, and endemic corruption are deeply entrenched, and have been a way of life for centuries. Mexico, Pakistan, India, China, and Saudi Arabia, are just a few of many dozens of nation-states – most, maddeningly, the smug recipients of U.S. foreign aid — in which corruption long has been a key component of economic-and-political culture, a trait of national character, if you will, from time out of mind. This trait never disappears simply because a person crosses a border.
Legal or illegal immigrants from such countries do not magically understand their privileges and responsibilities under the U.S. Constitution’s design for ordered liberty. They bring their heritage with them; some learn to be good and responsible citizens over time, many more remain the corrupt products of their former countries’ endlessly corrupt political/economic heritage. The latter will vote as they are told or paid to, or they will allow their mail-in vote form to be filled out by their Democrat masters.
The proof of the foregoing is found in the ludicrous ignorance of so many Americans under forty who have no conception of the foregoing, nor know anything about their own country’s political system or the responsibilities of citizenship. These stupid people may be legal voters, but they are nothing more than semi-educated sheep indoctrinated by teachers and professors who are Democratic Party operatives and, perhaps, traitors, given the almost weekly arrest of university professors now in the pay of Beijing. The Democrats then herd these mindless sheep to the polls – physically or by mail, dead or alive – to vote as they are told.
It is a madness to think that it is smart or patriotic to keep urging such voters to vote.
On a tangent from the foregoing:
–a.) Can it really be a coincidence that after the New York attorney general launched a legally absurd attempt to “dissolve” the National Rifle Association (NRA), that there were large shootings in Washington, D.C. (1 killed, 20 wounded), Denver, Colorado (9 wounded), and, last Friday, a shooter was shot while on his way to kill at the White House?
–b.) Can it really be a coincidence that although the national government’s medical establishment – Fauci, Birks, Redfield, et. al – repeatedly said the Chinese Virus had little or no impact on youngsters, that the China Virus-testers found – straight out of the blue — 97,000 children who tested positive? [2] This happened, oddly enough, just after some of the country’s large school districts decided to open their schools for the fall semester?
–-c.) Can it possibly be a coincidence that the cities being looted and burned by the Democrats’ Black Lives Matter-scum are also longstanding sanctuary cities?
