Acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Loretta King, has overruled the voters in Kinston, Sout Carolina after they voted overwhelmingly to do away with party affiliation of candidates in local elections. Banana Republic here we come.

That door was opened a long time ago. There is really only one way to accurately describe what we Americans are living under now, and that is tyranny.

The feds are telling us what light bulbs we are allowed to use, what cars we’re allowed to drive, what foods we’re allowed to eat, how we’re allowed to be treated by a doctor, what drugs we’re allowed to use, how much money we’re allowed to earn (and then keep), how much carbon we’re allowed to emit, etc. etc. etc ad nauseum.

If this isn’t a tyranny, what would you call it?

I wonder how long it is going to be before the average black person twigs on to the obvious, that the Democrats think they are stupid and can’t vote without training wheels.

Don’t hold your breath.

How else are you going to keep them down on the Democrat plantation if you don’t signal how they are supposed to vote? KINSTON, N.C. | Voters in this small city decided overwhelmingly last year to do away with the……

If we actually had a Congress, why, this administration might be in serious trouble over this.

Truer words were never spoken. :/

what follows is of no consequence.
will the federal government, PLEASE get out of our butts

Keep these folks on the plantation forever.

And Holder was the person who accused us of being a nation of cowards for not wanting (apparently) to engage in a national discussion on racism.

I don’t recall being invited to any such affair, but I could have inadvertantly thrown the invite in the trash.

Holder and Obama are both racists and they both trade in racism and race-baiting.

I thought we all had the right to vote. I didn’t realize that certain people have the right to elect the candidates they want.

Instead of a guarantee of equal opportunity to vote we now have a guarantee of the desired outcome of the vote?

Yes, since the Voting Rights Act was passed, which attempts to engineer situations where Blacks will be able to elect “candidates of their choice;” i.e. Black candidates.

The idea behind it was that discrimination was so strong in many states (primarily in the old Confederacy), that Blacks could not obtain proper representation. Without representation, their issues would always be sidelined. The VRA puts its finger on the scale by re-drawing districts to allow majority-minority districts which will tend to elect Black politicians.

This scheme is how elections have been run in this country for decades.

the city cannot get rid of party affiliations for local elections because that would violate black voters’ right to elect the candidates they want.

And they have the gall to attack Rush as a recist!

Unless it’s a unicorn. They can be white without fear of racism.

Fear not.
We are a nation of 300 million. This is not Venezuela.
In order to become “president for life” you’re going to
need the military to be 100% compliant among a huge
host of other conditions. Not going to happen.
Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves.
NIxon did.

Rush was talking about this just now, and all I could do was stare at the computer (I listen online at work) and go “SAY WHAT???”

Yeah, I had the same reaction. The most infuriating thing is that unlike other WH administrations in history, when things like this happened, (never this bad and never this much), the press or congress, or someone in a position of authority called them on it. Then, at least there was a chance that the administration would back down.
