Dem Scare-Crow Tactics

Post by Riddick » 03-28-2021 04:40 PM

Edited & Excerpted from Michael Goodwin's NY Post Article:

To Democrats and their media megaphones, Jim Crow has risen from history’s grave and stalks our land again. It's the party’s official talking point. In their playbook, any voting law change they don't support is racist and proves America has not made an iota of progress in 150 years.

Yet even sympathetic voters may get tired of hearing about the second coming of Jim Crow because efforts to tighten sloppy election laws are underway in a reported 43 states. Are all of them run by racist governors and lawmakers who represent racist ­citizens?

In fact, most of the efforts involve fixing lapses in ballot security that became obvious in the 2020 election after states rushed to relax safeguards during the pandemic. For all of the left's outrageous Jim Crow comparisons, the new rules are hardly onerous. Georgia, for example, actually expands early voting in some ways, requires it on two Saturdays and makes it optional for counties on Sundays.

Lacking facts, the left is eager to racialize any dispute & for shock effect, dredges up dark pages from our history bearing zero resemblance to the current situation. Like their endless comparisons of Donald Trump to Hitler, the attacks are a form of extremism designed to evoke horror and spark anger.

Although Biden campaigned on the promise of civility & unity, he now repeatedly uses false, incendiary language designed to divide. Biden, for instance, called the Georgia law “un-American” and said it would “deny people the right to vote.” He claimed, “It adds rigid restrictions on casting absentee ballots that will effectively deny the right to vote to countless voters.”

But as others have pointed out, voting laws in Delaware are stricter than the new law in Georgia, yet Biden never said peep about his home state. Because there is no truth to the president’s odious claims, we are left with two options. Either Biden has totally taken leave of his senses, or he has an ulterior motive.

While we can’t rule out the first choice, I believe the correct answer is that his attacks on the Georgia law are a pretext for abolishing the Senate filibuster. It, in his words, shares a Jim Crow lineage with GOP-led changes in state election laws, invoking the inflammatory imagery twice in his recent press conference.

As a WSJ editorial notes, breaking the filibuster would allow Senate passage with just 51 votes a bill nationalizing all election laws & removing most safeguards. The logic for that dramatic step is boosted if the public can be persuaded the changes in Georgia and elsewhere are racist and aim to suppress votes rather than protect the integrity of results.

Before he was VP, during his nearly 40 years as Senator Biden praised former KKK member Sen. Robert Byrd and cited his friendships with segregationist Dixiecrats. He regularly participated in uses of the filibuster to slow legislation and, in a 2005 speech, embraced it as essential to the Senate’s conduct and character.

Barack Obama, as a senator, also used it in the effort to block the Supreme Court nomination of Justice Samuel Alito, and Dems repeatedly used the filibuster last year — yet now it’s a relic of Jim Crow? By that standard, so's Joe’s entire career.

Finally, recall polls showed most blacks & whites believed race relations worsened during the Obama-Biden years. Some people never learn — or don’t give a damn.

The "Bobble Heads" have been led down the path of the "Racist Lineage" and don't even know whats Happening to them. The "Idiots" think it's something new! :facepalm:
