Great new website! Should I delete the other one from the blogroll, and replace it with this one?

Good to hear from you again, TN! I hope that the other blog is not abandoned but just in hiatus, though I will have to see where things take me. I am like you in that I only have so much time to devote to online stuff and wanted to focus my efforts on what I consider to be the main front. I argue that there is a very clear ideological line between those of us who believe in free individuals and those who believe in a philosophy that requires an acceptance that we are owned by the State. Those of us in the former group, though we may have some healthy disagreements on some subjects, believe in a federal government properly constrained by the Constitution whereas those in the latter group who support the legislative agenda of the last 12 months simply must believe in their hearts that we are all just livestock living on the government collective and that the Consitution is simply a quaint novelty document like a signed copy of Silent Spring.

I have been quite busy lately but intend to get a lot more good content posted here soon.

Thanks for adding that additional reference, Tom.

I wish that I shared your optimism about a possible backfiring of their Universal Voter Registration plans. I think that old people already vote, and I think that part of the statists’ goal is ending up with multiple registrations for one person that they can then use for voter fraud. Combine that with their diabolically brilliant Secretary of State Project and they can run away with every close election.

Historically, the Democrats are the party of voter fraud and they have gotten good at it. I think that the penalty for voter fraud conviction should be draconian. Loss of voting rights for life and 10 or 15 years in prison.

Regrettably, I fear that far too many Americas will not understand your Manchurian candidate reference. For that reason I am copied the following taken from an article posted by David Kupelian on October 29, 2008 in WorldNedDaily entitled “Yes Obama really is a Manchurian candidate:”

“In the classic 1962 movie thriller “The Manchurian Candidate,” a man was programmed by communist handlers, and then emerged into the public arena as a hero, with a largely manufactured history, large parts of which were either obscured or changed. Then he was planted into a position of great influence, having been programmed to usher in tremendous change at the appointed time.”

This article, although written before the election was final in November 2008, is worth your time. It can be found at: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=79411. By the time you to get to the end you will find yourself agreeing with the assessment that Obama is the Manchurian candidate. The evidence is irrefutable.

As for the issue of “Universal Voter Registration… consider one way it might blow up in their face. The plan, as I understand it, is to use federal registries of various classes of people and grant anyone on those lists automatic voter registration. These registries include such lists as welfare recipients and illegal immigrants, in other words, lists that traditionally vote for handouts from the Democratic Party. Now extrapolate that thinking to other federal registries such as Medicare and Gun registrations. These are two lists that are filled with mostly conservative senior citizens and conservative gun owners. They are generally not supportive of central government control of their lives. Consider what happens if groups such as these are included in “Universal Voter Registration” effort. The program loses some of its expected power gains for the Democratic Party to the extent that it just might blow up in their faces. BOOM!
