I shamelessly stole the video below from Ms Placed Democrat, a wonderful, insightful person I had the opportunity to meet in Denver this summer. And quite honestly, if I hadn't seen the video I wouldn't have believed it existed. It's one thing to hear whispers about alleged voter intimidation, about attempts at voter suppression. It's quite another to make that charge publicly when you are supposedly a non-political entity.
So the truth is out there now. Proven truth. ACORN is squarely in the Obama camp and they make no effort to hide it. Even worse, they have made these accusations against their verifiable voter registration fraud a referendum on racism, which this ad makes no effort to conceal. In their view, requiring blacks to live up the same standards as whites is racism. That's the long and the short of it. And this particular white person that has fought for and respected equal rights for everyone my entire adult lifetime has finally had enough.
Requiring that people prove they have the legal right to vote is not racism. It is a commonly accepted practice. We are required to prove who we say we are in order to obtain a driver's license. We are required to prove who we say we are in order to obtain a social security card. We are required to prove who we say we are when we apply for a reputable job. We are required to prove who we say we are when we get a loan. So just how is it any form of discrimination to prove who we say we are when we register to vote?
Quite evidently it is not.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been accused of being a racist one too many times. And frankly, it's hard not to become one considering the frivolous manner in which the accusations fly. It challenges me on a daily basis. But I remember my core and do my absolute best to treat everyone as an equal regardless of these heinous accusations. I owe it to myself, the Goddess and humanity.
I wish I could tell you that this troubling trend will end at the conclusion of this election cycle. But I am certain that this is merely a prelude of what is to become. No matter who wins, this is only going to get much worse. And I don't look forward to it.
I wish I could tell you that this troubling trend will end at the conclusion of this election cycle.

Will Walter Williams be right? Will it eventually end in secession?
Let's just vote DC "off the island".
Starting with the US Senate.
Cheers!
So ACORN feels that it is OK for their fraudulent votes should cancel out my Ohio vote.
