Voter ID, Eric Holder and the Increasingly Partisan Nature of ‘Civil Rights’

Posted on | March 12, 2012 |

 

In case you haven’t figured it out by now, “civil rights” has become a code phrase for “whatever Democrats want,” so that anyone who disagrees with Democrats is said to be “anti-civil rights.” Case in point, the Texas voter ID law:

 

The Justice Department’s civil rights division on Monday objected to a new photo ID requirement for voters in Texas because many Hispanic voters lack state-issued identification.

 

Why do Hispanic voters in Texas “lack state-issued identification”?

 

No drivers license? No passport? Nothing?

 

Is it cynical — or perhaps even racist — to suggest that many Hispanics in Texas don’t have ID because they are illegal immigrants and, as such, are not actually legal voters? Are Republicans just a bunch of xenophobic bigots for suspecting that Democrats oppose voter ID laws because they hope to use the votes of illegal aliens (or other methods of vote fraud) to elect Democrats?

 

Isn’t the Justice Department’s entire rationale for opposing the Texas voter ID law an extension of the belief that the partisan interests of the Democratic Party are coterminous with “civil rights”? Democrats actually believe they have the right to win elections, even by blatantly illegal means, and so any measure that might prevent ineligible people from voting is a violation of “civil rights.”

 

Now you know why “corrupt Democrat” is redundant: No honest person would ever get involved in the Democratic Party.

So BHO, just where is all that federal assistance going if the folks who need it are too stupid to get ID to claim it?
