Restoring (or finally ensuring) the integrity of our elections and voter registration would go a long way toward eradicating communism and corruption in the USA, in both parties.

With a conservative president like Cruz, and even half conservative House and Senate, it might be possible to accomplish politically.

As the world saw at the Bundy ranch, these commies intend to slaughter Americans in great numbers. They will not be easily deterred.

Vote now as if your life depends on it; or fight later when your chances of survival are much less.

I believe the defining issue of our day is Democrat Party’s suborning of voter fraud.

That’s what the IRS/True the Vote crackdown was and is all about.

Well its just a matter of do we still have a chance of doing this peacefully or are we going to have to do it the old fashioned way. But we are going to do it.

Integrity of the election process is a tricky proposition. On the one hand, wide participation is overall, a good thing, as the opinions of those who maintain at least a modest degree of curiosity concerning what their government is up to on a fairly constant basis, and are properly aware of the consequences of lack of oversight, should be solicited to make their stand and opinions known, and used as a guide to future direction of society.

But just nilly-willy trucking in warm bodies to pull a lever to favor one candidate, or one agenda, without ascertaining the “voter” is even aware of the issues at hand, is a recipe for disaster, as has been proved over and over in so-called “safe” districts, represented by the same person, or one of a very small oligarchy, for decades and even generations. Where there is no exposition of or rivalry for differing points of view, there is no purpose to even electing somebody. That is not even remotely a democracy. The Romans did not consider ever having a poll or vote by the general public, and to keep the masses from getting too restless, they gave them “bread and circuses”. A similar, but even more cruel ethic was enforced all through what we now call the “Dark Ages”, with a small elite class at the top, fighting and bargaining for the few scraps of value and prestige in that society, and the great mass of the unrepresented and the disenfranchised that had no concept of what “freedom” or “liberty” even meant, and they didn’t get much in the way of bread and circuses, either. In fact, that probably has been the standing and most frequently exhibited kind of society mankind has known since about the time tribes ceased to wander and began to form into cities and nations.

There is something about being out in the open, with a lot of space separating each individual from others, that tends to shape the outlook away from interdependence or outright complete dependency, to personal self-motivation and self-reliance. And the two concepts of self-image are essentially incompatible, with little chance ever of reconciliation or “splitting the difference”.
