Correction:
The return of Spiro Agnews Silent Majority ...
A timely development, since his "Effete Corps of Impudent Snobs" are making their move for total control...

Amen and right on! The author nails it with a great big hammer!

Me thinks the Horny Hick from Hope stepped in and and told ole spitz to back down and get off the license for illegals kick, the unwashed didn’t go along with him and Horny’s sidekick, hillary, didn’t know which way to speak about it.

Remember the HUGE influx of “new” Americans in 1996? As the “new” citizens were sworn in they were registered as democrat voters. Remember that?

It's time for the periodic Monty Python reference;
"M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didnt; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isnt just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it cant. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isnt.
M: Yes it is! Its not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but thats not just saying No it isnt.
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isnt!
PS: "The elite" would more properly defined as (a)Those in a position, due to wealth, education, social status, or (now) notoriety, who are capable of influencing social forms and societal evolution.
And, (b) those who are not but believe themselves to be (a).
Then, of couse, there is (c) those who can be bought.

If one the other hand, we look at which party wants to cut taxes on captitals gains, which party wants to lower taxes on the top income bracket, etc etc, that would provide a much better clue. Oh give me a break! The only leader of a political party who gave me a break (I make under $80,000 / yr) is George W. Bush! a Republican. The dims keep costing me money to support those who don't want to work!

Who are these people making such a fuss about a perfectly reasonable, humane proposal? These must be the extremists, racists and bigots!/S

I totally agree with the voter I.D. thing, and as kind of my own little protest, I have started, every time I vote, showing the registrar my driver’s license. They don’t ask, but I show it anyway-—and I tell them why!
