Democrats are anything but

Democrats are well on their way to destroying any semblance of a democratic process in this country. Over the past 15 years, they have been on a crusade to make it easier and easier to vote. On the face, I have no problem with this. There shouldn't be any artificial barriers to voting. Democrats have pushed this so far, however, that they have leveled the natural barriers to voting which are necessary for legitimate elections.

What do I mean by "natural barriers"? Well, a legitimate election is a pretty easy thing to pull off. Every eligible voter is entitled one vote. Of course, human nature being what it is, you need to verify that every voter is who they say they are, and live where they say they do. Seems pretty easy to me. You require that they have a picture ID with address, and you require some sort of proof of residency beyond that ID, and you fill out a little paperwork and sign your name to it. Then, when you vote, you carefully read your ballot and follow the instructions. Bing, bang, boom, you've got accuracy and legitimacy. Democrats have worked to break down those low barriers. You now have situations where people can register without showing ID, and without proving their residency. Instead of a sworn public official doing the registering of voters, partisan interest groups with no accountability are running around doing so. Absentee voting, which is particularly susceptible to fraud, can be done for any reason, because we can't disenfranchise those too lazy to take their civic privilege and right seriously on election day. We are trying to divine the intentions of stupid voters who don't take care to vote properly. It is getting ridiculous.

And the Democrats have the gall to deflect the harsh spotlight for the consequences of such actions. They bring in international observers (which should be an insult to all Americans) because they say attempts by those of us who want an honest election are merely tries to disenfranchise and suppress the vote. NO, that's not it, you fools. Your efforts risk turning this country into a banana republic, where there is no confidence that there is one vote for one person. You've taken accountability out of the system. If observers do anything, it should be to observe your activities from the last 15 years.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If you can't put in a little extra effort to register, to stand in line to vote, and vote correctly on election, then you obviously do not respect the gift paid for by the blood of so many of our ancestors.
