Columnist: Registering Poor To Vote ‘Like Handing Out Burglary Tools To Criminals

Quote:
"It is profoundly antisocial and un-American to empower the nonproductive segments of the population to destroy the country -- which is precisely why Barack Obama zealously supports registering welfare recipients to vote," Vadum, the author of a book published by World Net Daily that attacks the now-defunct community organizing group ACORN, writes in a column for the American Thinker.
"Encouraging those who burden society to participate in elections isn't about helping the poor," Vadum writes. "It's about helping the poor to help themselves to others' money. It's about raw so-called social justice. It's about moving America ever farther away from the small-government ideals of the Founding Fathers."


What an asshole!

Indeed! Only white male land owners should be able to vote. :roll:

I just went over and read the comments on the American Thinker article. Whoa! There are a whole lot of people that agree that only property owners should be allowed to vote. OMFG! It is mind boggling that anyone could ever believe such a thing.

I suppose they can go ahead and believe what ever they want, but the chances of it ever happening are slim to none, and slim left town (hat tip to his Rooster-ness for the Slim reference). At least, I hope there is no chance of this happening. There isn't, is there?

I think most of the people on the Forbes list of wealthiest people burden America. Not being politically disempowered, their political rights won't be subject to attack by this egalitarian.

I remember that clip. What I didn't remember was how much Vadum looks like he could be Larry Sinclair's older brother.

Tea Party Nation President, Judson Phillips, said that back in 2010:

Quote:
PHILLIPS: The Founding Fathers originally said, they put certain restrictions on who gets the right to vote. It wasn’t you were just a citizen and you got to vote. Some of the restrictions, you know, you obviously would not think about today. But one of those was you had to be a property owner. And that makes a lot of sense, because if you’re a property owner you actually have a vested stake in the community. If you’re not a property owner, you know, I’m sorry but property owners have a little bit more of a vested interest in the community than non-property owners.


http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2010/ ... -property/

Then I saw a lot of TeaBaggers tweet the same thing. One of the tweets was by a guy I know personally. He was leasing a place for a few years just prior to that tweet.


ETA: I forgot about Buchanan.

He would make a good husband for Larry Sinclair. But I don't think Sinclair owns property any more. He sold the trailer. That probably disqualifies Larry for scum boy.

mario piperni highlighted some of the comments from the American Stinker column.

Quote:
Excellent article, but I don’t think it goes far enough. We should not only purge welfare slackers and other un-Americans from the voter rolls — including anyone who is unemployed and therefore not a producer, but voting should be proportional depending on net worth or taxes paid. No one could argue that someone making, say, $50,000 per year contributes to the well-being of the country as much as someone making millions and creating jobs. It’s not even close. To argue that there is any sort of equality between workers and a job creators is pure socialism. Why not have votes apportioned based on income, wealth, or taxes paid, to make it more proportional to one’s actual contribution to the country? For example, if you don’t pay any taxes, you have no vote, as everyone here heartily endorses. If you pay $10,000 in taxes, you get one vote. If you pay $1,000,000 in taxes you get 100 votes. It’s only fair. ~joethepatrioticAmerican

I went back to the Stinker and was relieved to see only 68 comments. There wasn't much support for this article. Sometimes those articles get hundreds and hundreds of comments, so even the RWNJ's at The Stinker realize Vadum has jumped over the sanity line.

It could be argued that this is the system we have in reality. We make a big deal out of our votes, but they really are so diluted and manipulated by how districts are drawn and the inequality of voting power, that our votes and opinions do not mean very much. The big donors and their opinions matter much more than tens of thousands of votes. Plus, if you can buy media outlets or form superPAC's, you opinion is worth hundreds of thousands of votes.

How can you say his idea is crazy when it reflects the kind of system we have and not the one we pretend to have?

That comment seems Poe-ish to me in the style of Swift.

What we're seeing in America and Europe is quite remarkable. The long-suffering peoples of Europe, condemned to being serfs, have taken control and installed fairly successful welfare states. The people are happy, health care is good, their countries aren't run by nut cases. America began in relative freedom and has moved in the other direction. The welfare state has been rejected, poverty is up, health care may or may not be reformed, and people (except the very rich) are miserable. And we're led by a bunch of RWNJs.

We need a Marshall Plan for America.
