The small town of Kinston N.C overwhelmingly voted to remove Partisanship from their local elections by removing party affiliation from their ballots.
Sounds great right?
This is the sort of action we need to bring some Real unity back to America.
The residents all believed this would make their elections fairer for all involved.
I applaud them for this action.
Unfortunately, The Obama justice department disagrees.
According to This Washington Times article, Blacks can't decide on the "Right" candidate, unless they see the big D next to a name.
So, the official DOJ stance seems to be that Blacks are not intelligent enough to decide on who to vote for, unless they have a democrat in the race.
If they don't see the big D, they may choose the "wrong" candidate.
According to the official DOJ line, "Non-Partisan elections discriminate against minorities.". (WTF????)
Not surprisingly, this decision was made by the same justice dept. official that chose to drop the charges of voter intimidation against the "New Black Panthers" in Philidelphia last fall, who you may recall were filmed standing in front of a polling station, intimidating white voters from entering and voting.
According to the DOJ, "Partisan elections are necessary for Black voters to be able to elect their 'candidate of choice'.".
Let me get this right.
Unelected officials at the DOJ are actually saying that Black voters are too stupid to decide which candidate they should vote for, if they don't know a candidate is Republican or Democrat?
Our "Post-Racial" government under the watchful eye of Obama the Great, has decided that Blacks are not intelligent enough to make a decision without their help.
The Voting Rights Act is designed to break down racial barriers to voting. It is intended at its core to ensure equal opportunity for all voters, regardless of race or politics. But when enforcement is left in the hands of the militant left-wing partisans who dominate the ranks of the Civil Rights Division, the statute becomes simply another political tool, and one that is all too easily abused.
This is nothing more than Top Down Racism.
It's a blatant attempt by the Obama run Justice Department to keep a democrat majority by any means necessary. And it's aother reason for me to ask the question I've asked for years.
'Why do black Americans vote consistently for democrat candidates, even though the democrat party is Working Against them at every opportunity?'
This administration and all the assorted nuts and flakes surrounding the president are convinced America is populated with 3 year olds who can't tie their own shoes without assistance by the government.
If you need more proof, go ask the folks in Kinston N.C.
As always, comments are welcome. :o)
