Voter fraud

As long as both major parties are owned by the same international corporations and the system is rigged against minority parties . . . voting fraud is immaterial except at the municipal/county level. All the garbage about illegal voting is part of the grand scam.

 

Key word...citizens.

 

Anchor babies born here?

True...unfortunately.

 

I guess I'll ask again--where is the evidence that widespread voter fraud is occurring at the polling places?

[Note: I'm not asking about absentee balloting because a photo ID would have no effect on that method of voting.]

 

Voter fraud is small potatoes compared to vote fraud.

 

So, you think the majority has the right, by majority vote, to steal the money of the minority?

You should read a book called "The Law" by Frederic Bastiat. Government activity which extends outside of the purview of protecting the people and their rights, is tyranny, theft, and will ultimately spread into other areas.

If a local community wants to have a library, they should get together VOLUNTARY donors to have their library, not try to get 51 percent of a vote, to steal the money from the 49 percent who don't want to give their money.

 

Exactly! It's more of a distraction than anything else. Judging from the replies here and the length of those replies people do love a good distraction.

The more important issue of vote fraud is very rarely if ever discussed here on BB even though the subject has been brought up at "election" time since I first joined.

Reckon that proves once again that most people only think in the terms the international corporations through their control of the mass media spoon feed them.

Try thinking outside the idiot box for a change folks! :smilewinkgrin:

 

So, if you and me get together and vote to rob a guy going down an alley, its O.K., since we have more votes than him?!

HORRIBLE logic...and the reason why our founders expressly rejected a pure democracy.

Not at all. The Constitution knows NOTHING of a democratic government ruled by the majority. The Constitution was meant to RESTRAIN government...the REPUBLIC government, which is supposed to be served by elected representatives, NOT by mob rule.

FYI: Bastiat is in line with the writings of the founders, and actually points to the U.S. (the U.S. of the 1800s) as an expression of his ideas...however, I was encouraging you to read the book, because Bastiat tears apart the argument of common good and mob rule that you just presented...i.e. the tyranny of allowing the 51 percent to rule over and enslave the 49 percent.

 

“Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim—when he defends himself—as a criminal.” — Frédéric Bastiat

 

Most folks here abouts have been thinking in terms of the collective for so long the idea of individualism doesn't compute with em anymore if it ever did.
