Intimidation Is Good
June 8th, 2009This country has made tremendous progress in the first few months of the new federal government. But it can only continue this advance if our forces remain in power; that is, if we win elections. Fortunately, demeaning and banal tasks as these became far easier when the Justice Department this past week ruled that voter intimidation is acceptable behavior — behavior that can and should become part of the modus operandi of all future progressive campaigns.
Last Election Day, a group of three New Black Panthers wearing military uniforms stood in front of a Philadelphia polling center with nightsticks — hurling racial insults and threats to any who may have stood athwart to progress. These proceedings were captured and broadcast live over national television, and the so-called “malfeasants” were charged and convicted in what witness Bartle Bull, a civil rights attorney during the Jim Crow era, called “the most blatant form of voter discrimination I have encountered in my life.”
Justice, though, prevailed when the Obama administration — overruling the career lawyers at the Justice Department — dismissed all charges — in spite of the Voting Rights Act, which supposedly forbids this type of activity — and in spite of the defendants not even attempting to fight the charges. In fact, the Justice Department even used this lack of defense as a rationale for dismissal.
Therefore, we can reasonably conclude that intimidating voters is not only good and tolerable, but that it is a tactic we can freely use going forward — especially in the backward areas of the country, where people are unfortunately disinclined to see the lefteousness of our cause.
There is only one small problem.
The New Black Panthers are far too small a group to make an indelible effect on nationwide elections. For this strategy to be truly successful in future elections, such as 2010 midterms, we will need thugs stationed at tens of thousands of precincts across America.
This is where ACORN comes in — a group that was particularly adept at voter registration fraud during the last election cycle. It stands to reason that they’d be equally adept at voter intimidation. But if not, perhaps we can have the New Black Panthers train them. Best of all, as almost none of them have real jobs, they’ll surely be available to cause delightful and just havoc.
If we still need more soldiers — thanks to Congress passing the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, which will soon create a mandatory voluntary service requirement for young people — we can also add millions of screaming youngsters to the fray. That should keep out the riffraff.
And let no one doubt that our tactics will be successful. We know this because similar tactics were so successful in the past. In fact, for a hundred years they worked to near perfection in the South.
With any luck, these tactics will work for a hundred more. Or even a thousand.
