On this past Friday, the Democrats finally found a way to demonstrate their all out contempt for the sacred process of American elections.
In doing so they closed a circle on a public strategy.
In doing so they telegraphed their future intent.
In doing so Americans face a crossroads.
It was a simple amendment that Republicans wished to add to the Democrats first major attempt at legislation. H.R. 1 attempts to bring about voting reforms that Democrats feel are important. Claiming prejudice, mistreatment, and a need to “open up” elections to a broader swath of voters, Democrats passed a measure that make elections less secure, open to greater fraud and subject less accountability to the integrity of the process.
Let’s be very clear: Democrats don’t want fair elections. They want cover to cheat. They want cover to steal.
Before the vote for final passage however, Republicans used a little tool to give themselves an opportunity to impact the legislation—a motion to recommit. In doing so the GOP sought to add an amendment banning the opportunity for illegal aliens to vote in American elections.
It should have been an easy vote. After all what should Democrats, Republicans, and even the Democratic Socialists in Congress have to lose by insuring that American elections be decided by only—Americans?
Yet the Democrats defeated the measure.
So for the first time, a majority vote was cast, by the majority party in the House of Representatives, to give the power of electoral outcomes into the hands of those who are not citizens.
As reported by the Washington Times the vote was 228-197.
It comes as little surprise to see the Democrats take such action. They have rigorously and consistently fought to make elections more vulnerable.
By openly supporting porous borders they create a flow of potential streams of new voters that seem endless in supply.
By offering freebie entitlement programs they magnetize the earnings of American workers to pay for the vote bribery they seek to entice.
By opposing any form of voter identification (and thus verification of citizenship) they encourage the worst form of corruption to a free society’s most sacred act.
And now, by openly voting in favor of illegal aliens having the “right” to vote in an election for a nation they have no stake in, much less rights to, they are pursuing illegitimate outcomes.
Ironically almost to a person these Congressional Democrats also believe that some Russian placed facebook ads in 2016 caused actual American citizens to hypnotically change their votes in the rust belt. And while they also believe Hillary Clinton did nothing wrong in storing some 2000+ confidential and top-secret emails on a server she may have purchased at Wal-Mart, they claim to believe that Wikileaks somehow releasing those same emails should send the lawfully elected President to prison.
They painfully lack awareness of what secure elections should look like.
They sermonize from the House floor as to why Americans have nothing to worry about. They imply that Americans who use words like “fraud, integrity, fairness and legality” are bigots. They condemn people who seek accountability in how elections are executed. They claim near-civil-rights-era offense when someone mentions identification or verification.
But now they are on the record themselves seeking to supplant American votes with votes of people who have no legal right to be here.
And that friend, sounds to me like, a bonafide national emergency!
As has been said, they seek turn the result on its head by replacing the electorate, rather than the historical, logical, and ethical of having the electorate replace their representatives. We don’t always vote “correctly” no matter how much they try to bribe us with our own money.
Also, I don’t think that they lack self-awareness, they know full what evil they try to achieve. They know that we know. That’s why they are also turning freedom of speech on its head.
Those who are there to represent the will of the people (as expressed by eligible voters) don’t care, and that includes many from “our” side. It’s not really “public service” anymore. Public service doesn’t usually provide those who want to serve, the means to enter it as merely well-off, and leave a millionaire.
Bush League Republicans have been helping.
We got 30 million illegal aliens over 30 years as a bipartisan effort to flood the country with foreigners.
They get away with it because Repubs do nothing. If it was up to me I would get the military to uphold their oath of enlistment to defend the constitution from domestic enemies and apprehend every last one of these Rat mofos, hunt them down like the dogs they are.
They are echoing the desires of the Democratic Republicans in the 1790s. Large numbers of radicals from France had arrived after the American Revolution. Now that France had had its own Revolution and was at war with the monarcjies of Europe they joined with Dem Reps to incite America to join ally with France. Both groups wildly welcomed Citizen Genet who came to overturn George Washington’s neutrality and perhaps overthrow the new Constitution as well.
Yes. It seems like just yesterday that we flooded the congressional switchboards to prevent them passing another amnesty, and that was with a Republican Congress and White House. They just bide their time, act helpless and wring their hands while they stand back and let the left do the publicly seen dirty work.
oh bullshit. Get over your BDS
The Republic is dead as founded. The decision now is of self preservation and what kind of country that will be the future. I figure we are now more of a collection,federation,territory,tribe and demographic soup of federal kingdom type of open border entity formerly a country.
At SXSW in Austin, TX - “Pelosi told activists to know the power that they have to change the country—and the world—by turning Texas blue and giving Democrats the Lone Star State’s 38 Electoral College votes. “Know your power, this state is so important,” Pelosi reportedly said.”
With the help of illegal voters, the Left can turn Texas blue. Easy Peasy.
Texas was 52/43 for Trump in 2016, so I believe the Dems have a long way to go.
p
They get away with it because Repubs do nothing.
Exactly!!
Why, I hear that our REPUBLICAN led Senate is set to vote AGAINST POTUS Trump’s National Emergency Border Protection order this coming week.
How is that for treasonous behavior??
However, Texas darn near elected the nut bar Bee Toe over Cruz
Where Ted Cruz’s close victory over Beto O’Rourke stands among Texas' historical election results
"With a loss Tuesday night by about 2.6 percentage points or around 223,000 votes, U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke got closer to toppling an incumbent Republican senator than anyone has in 40 years, which could portend a shifting Texas electorate"
The irony regarding historical political party strength is that Texas has elected more Democrats at both the state and national level, than California has.
Since Texas doesn't register by party, it's more difficult to find trends, but the way Texas is being swamped with illegal aliens and how migration into the state is generally occurring (more growth in liberal big cities), it is not unreasonable to think Texas could go back to being blue in the near term.

No matter how long they've been here
No matter their immigration status
No matter if they pay taxes or not
NO non-citizen should be allowed to vote in our elections, at any level.
A non-citizen owes their full and complete allegiance to a foreign country. Even if that foreign national has been here 50+ years illegally, paying taxes. They STILL owe their complete allegiance to their foreign country.
Ted’s election was much closer than the Gov’s race.
Mostly due to Ted.
Some people don’t like it when Constitutionalist Cubanadians run for President in violation of the Constitution.
“And that friend, sounds to me like, a bonafide national emergency!”
The author is a hyperbolic dimwit.
HR1 or anything resembling it will never become law.
It won’t even get a vote in a Senate committee. Much less enjoy a POTUS veto.
It’s all posturing by the Dims.
Just like the Republicans often did. Like 37 votes to repeal Obamacare...UNTIL IT COUNTED.
“and it seems like no one cares”
Because smart people know it will never become law.
“Some people don’t like it when Constitutionalist Cubanadians run for President in violation of the Constitution.”
And a damn site more than a few were pissed he didn’t disclose he was a Canadian citizen in his first race. He knew he was Canadian, he just chose to keep it from the Texas electorate.
A lie by omission.
