Last time I was in Ga. I casually mentioned to one of the fellows I was with that there were more back people where we were than my home burb.  They very rudely said that we could have them, and proceeded into a long vituperative rant about African Americans.  I managed to massage the situation explaining that many of the aforementioned in my neck of the woods were Somali immigrants seeking a better life (and quickly changed the subject), but truly I had never in my life seen such naked bigotry.  And this was educated fellows and pilots.  I'm glad I'm in an academic situation in a northern state, I dislike discrimination and racism and am happy to hold it at arms length.

Same reason you old people want your damn social security. (Makes motion of shaking cane in the air.)

 

Courts have established that qualified individuals have a constitutional right to vote. The proposal to "wipe the slate clean" every four years and make people re-register is essentially a mass revocation of that right from many who are known factually to be eligible. I don't see how it would ever survive the scrutiny of the courts.

On wonders what all those dead people were doing on the registration rolls.  But I suppose removing the deceased from voter registrations is just too difficult.

Everyone gives my father credit for the hostages going free on the day he was sworn in, and they should. But one reason they went free was because he kept the Iranians guessing.

They never did know whether he’d nuke them until he didn’t.

I find it interesting this election year that the right and the left keep asking the same questions of Trump. What will he do to defeat ISIS?

But the real story shouldn’t be what Trump might do. It should be what Hillary Clinton won’t do. To appease her voters and liberal friends in the media, she’s already said she won’t use ground troops. I’m sure the monsters who run ISIS were relieved to hear that.
