DOJ Approves Non-Citizens Right To Vote

The Department of Justice has once again ruled that Georgia has no right or power to verify that those voting are indeed citizens of the country. Again.

The U.S. Department of Justice has for the second time rejected Georgia's system of using Social Security numbers and driver's license data to check whether prospective voters are citizens. The Justice Department first rejected Georgia's request for preclearance for the checks in May. The state asked the department in August to reconsider that rejection.

In a letter sent to Georgia Deputy Attorney General Dennis Dunn on Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney General Thomas Perez said the state's August request contains so many changes to the original voter registration verification process that it constitutes "a new change affecting voting that the state desires to implement."

It is important to point out that Georgia like most other southern states have to comply with an outdated law that requires us to get permission from Big Brother for anything to do with our elections. Except of course questioning whether ACORN is according in accordance with the law.

Under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, Georgia and other states with a history of discriminatory voting practices must preclear any changes to election rules with the Justice Department.

Now it doesn't matter that there hasn't been a single case of discrimination that I am aware of in the last 40 years, merely being a southern state is enough to perpetuate the stereotype.

This is really beginning to grate on peoples nerves around here. We are tired of the typecasting. We are tired of bureaucrats in Washington telling us how to run our affairs. This isn't a new phenomenon, but it has been slowly building.

I don't how long those who rely on identity politics think they can continue to kick a large portion of this country and continue to punish them for things that happened over 150 years ago, for no other reason then to fuel their own self importance, but if it continues I fear some seemingly insignificant act is going to cause things to explode. The fuse has been lit. It has been burning for a long time, and until southerners start getting treated as equals, instead of some sort of third cousin distant relative of the rest of the country the sentiments down south are not going to improve.

The drumbeat of anti southern acts has increased lately with those in congress condemning the states of South Carolina for trying to stand up to the Obama stimulus plan, to Michelle Obama openly stating a fear of traveling to South Carolina. All but shutting out the southern states in regards to federal aid, castigating auto manufacturers who dared to set up shop in the south, decrying as racist every statement that comes out of our politicians mouths because they don't agree with the course this country is headed on. The list goes on and on and this act by the DOJ is just added to the file.

I expect soon we won't be able to vote at all in the south, which would suit the Democrats just fine since a region of the country that has been a thorn in their side would finally be removed.
