Former TV CEO Says U.S. Should Ban ‘Straight White Males from Voting’
PJ media ^ | October 30, 2018 | Nicholas Ballasy

Posted on 11/01/2018 1:12:39 PM PDT by detective

Steven Clifford, author and former CEO of the King Broadcasting Company and National Mobile Television, told PJM that the federal government should “prohibit straight white males from voting” in U.S. elections as a way to “save” democracy.

“I think it’s the only hope for democracy in America and I will be leading a great movement to prohibit straight white males, who I believe supported Donald Trump by about 85 percent, from exercising the franchise and I think that will save our democracy,” Clifford said during an interview after speaking at the forum “Destroying the Myths of Market Fundamentalism,” which was organized by the Center for Study of Responsive Law – a group former independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader founded in 1968.

This talk of “democracy’ is a tad disingenuous.

I believe at this point if they got power it would be a killing field. they do not believe that they can convince people that they deserve to be in charge so if they got in charge people would die so they could keep power.

We are an oligarchy. Rule by an elite complex of bureaucrats, judges, and the media brainwashing complex. Trump is trying to change that.

The thing that is interesting here is how afraid white females should be of these plans. Guess what happens to the white females after the white males are exterminated? This is 1923 Germany we are talking.

Oh we certainly CAN, but dealing with the legal consequences of implementing said ban is a little more than most is want in their one and only life...

Maybe we could get some laws changed to permit us some latitude in creating this ban.

Screw that, the childless pay taxes to support the institutions children use that they dont use from not having children. You make only those with children fund juvi and public schools. Some folks dont have kids because they believe they are also doing the right thing for society, for any number of reasons. Some cannot because of accidents or sterility. Who are you to demand anyone must have children to vote?

Man the idiot totalitarians are coming out of the woodwork today

A new way to spell loony crackpot. He would disenfranchise the Founding Fathers, in a quest exactly opposite to what the Founders intended! (And he probably just thought he was expressing his own version of the pervading Leftist fantasy.)

Here is a more patriotic & reasonable look at the question of restricting the suffrage:

stupid idea. Unless they make me actually prove that I am gay, I still get to vote. To vote against a Democrat, I will vote in a dress if I have to. Nobody wants that, believe me.

We should ban those who are childless from voting, since so many of them don’t have the same concern for our future that most people have.

Speaking as a conservative who is voluntarily childless, I’m going to have to give that a hard pass.

You make a reasonable point. But the most immediate point is that we stop letting voters, bought by Leftist politicians, swing elections through the misapplication of the tax revenues. The conflict of interest is patent.

It was, but not everyone figured that out.

We DO have somebody writing down all these names, right?

I think the execrable Don Lemon took a sharp jab at white males, too. Add him to the list.

What list? Oh, nothing important. Go back to sleep. We’ll take care of it.
