Many liberals argue that Voter ID is racist because niggers lack agency: as if they are infants or retards or our pets... but that logic is ridiculous because ID is a necessary part of going to nigger university and niggers excel at that!

"If such a group is too stupid or incompetent, maybe they shouldn't be voting?"
"THATS RACIST!"
No but seriously, I think it should be hard to earn the right to vote, not just given away.

Citizen land owners or citizens that are a net positive in terms of tax contributions. You shouldn't be voting if you're costing taxpayers even one cent a year.

The difficulty is we are trying to maintain a civilized society that is infested by niggers.
It's like trying to run a French restaurant in which the kitchen staff are chimpanzees.
Niggers ruin everything.
Let's be honest, we don't have a gun problem or a crime problem or a rape problem or a drug problem or an alcohol problem or a welfare problem or an education problem or an incarceration problem: we have a nigger problem.

Seriously, though... The whole "voting is only for those who have done some term of service" thing is an idea I can totally get behind. Doesn't have to be military, but it should be something that involves a sacrifice on the citizen's part, so they always remember it and don't take it lightly.

I always like to throw that back at them. If they are so incompetent that they cannot get an ID, should they really be voting?
[–] edistojim 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Oh, they have IDs, they had to get one to receive welfare, food stamps, WIC, SNAP, any social service, medicare……….the list goes on……open a bank account, buy alcohol, buy cigarettes………..these fucking shithead nigger welfare rats can and do have ID, its just the dumbass democrats that think they don't, its plantation living all over again.

"Low information voters" such as these are very easily manipulated . . .
[–] SargonX 1 point 6 points 7 points (+7|-1) ago
I hate that they always try to liken getting a ID to having to own land to vote, or take a test etc. They really aren't similar in any way. Also they need to stop the nonsense that the bill of rights, and constitution applies to people who aren't US citizens. It doesn't any more than Iraq's laws apply to me.

Because we have no voter fraud or election fraud, ask any democrat.
[–] Whitworth 1 point 6 points 7 points (+7|-1) ago
Except when they lose. Then there is election fraud, but only in ways that are so phony that they're certain any investigation won't lead back to themselves.

No joke, I got carded buying compressed air. You know that shit to clean your computers? Yeah, I got carded. But for our election? Just walk right in.
[–] BlackGrapeDrank 1 point 5 points 6 points (+6|-1) ago
lol. right? fuck i hate liberal logic.
[–] cthulian_axioms ago (edited ago)
Whenever I get carded buying materials, I use a multi-pronged approach:
Step 1: Point to hair. "You ever seen a 17-year-old with this much gray?"
Step 2: If worker bee is younger than I am, begin asking musical questions that can only be answered by someone born in the 1980s or earlier. "What was the first single by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones?" "What was on the cover of Nirvana's album 'Nevermind'?" "What is your favorite Soundgarden album and why is it 'Superunknown'?"
(Pause)
"How would a 17-year-old even know how to ask those questions in the first place?"
(By this point, a supervisor has usually arrived; if I don't know them and they're about my age or older, I begin again from Step 1.)
Step 3: Take out attorney-registration "gold card", which contains my birthdate. Ask: "Since I'm almost double the minimum age to buy this stuff, I can take it home and get high off of it, right?"
Step 4: Gently admonish staff for being stupid. Encourage them to contact representatives and agitate for legalization of marijuana, so kids can fucking just get high on reefer and not have to resort to huffing spray paint.
I usually don't have to get beyond Step 2.5, since the supers at the hardware store in town know me as "[first name], the lawyer who went insane and is now a carpenter among other things"

Yep. It's harder to fly on a plane somewhere than it is to vote in a presidential election. (((Their))) "muh voter suppression" argument is infuriatingly thin.
[–] Dibgick 1 point 4 points 5 points (+5|-1) ago
We are an incorruptible nation whose citizens wouldn't get involved in undermining our great nation for a couple of shekels.
Why do you think HRC hired mexicans as electoral advisors? Voter fraud has reached artistic levels down there. Not even voter ID deters them.
If we don't get them punished we are basically fucked, ID or no ID.
[–] RevoltNow 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago (edited ago)
At least part of the reason is we have no national ID (other than passports which many Americans don't have) or requirement that people have an ID period. Obviously that's less true in practice. It's pretty hard to get by without one, and most adults have a state driver's license which is the de facto standard ID. But there was a time when the idea that everyone must have an ID would have been seen as unamerican. You know, the whole "papers, please" meme.
[–] Wedhro ago
Isn't social security number a de facto national ID that is even more widespread than driving licences and that "people" need to have if they want the gibs?
[–] RevoltNow ago
I suppose you're right, but I was thinking more in terms of physical IDs, the actual social security card isn't really an ID as such.
