4 Lessons for Jews From the Overland Park Rampage

[guno]

The rampage in Overland Park is a wake-up call for Jews, Jay Michaelson writes. The same dark minds that hate blacks and immigrants also despise us — and will eventually turn to violence.


The first of these is what activists call “intersectionality.” Glenn Miller (as the shooter is known) hated Jews, African-Americans, “foreigners.” He hearkens back to the days in which Jews and blacks, in particular, found common cause against a common enemy.

Republicans know that their “base” — white people — is shrinking relative to the overall population. The clock, as John Judis memorably pointed out in 2002, is ticking. Democrats are licking their lips at the prospect of turning Texas blue.
And so Republicans across the country have taken action in the form of totally unjustified barriers to voting, requiring picture IDs, for example, or banning ex-convicts. They say this is to prevent voter fraud, but cannot offer any evidence of voter fraud, because there is none. We all know what this is about: keeping people of color from voting, and thus keeping Republicans in power.
Also on the agenda: blocking immigration reform. Like Miller and other extremists, Republicans fear a non-white America. They have successfully blocked any action on immigration, while “brownwashing” themselves with Latinos like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
What the RJC and its ilk seem to have forgotten is that the Glenn Millers of the world hate us all equally: Jews and blacks and immigrants alike. So why are we turning against our own brothers and sisters? Do we really feel so secure in our position that we can now abandon our former comrades-in-arms against oppression? Can we so swiftly move from being oppressed to being the oppressor?

On the Right, we see it in the Tea Party, the Birthers, the Truthers, the Islamophobes, and the astonishing 30% of Republicans who think President Obama is a Muslim. We see it in the hysterical hyperbole about Obamacare (they’re still talking about death panels) and the never-ending brouhaha about Benghazi. Reasonable people can disagree about policy, but thanks to Fox News and the Koch-funded attack ad industry (now on permanent alert), more and more in the mainstream have been corrupted by this dark magical thinking.

And so Republicans across the country have taken action in the form of totally unjustified barriers to voting, requiring picture IDs, for example

I can't figure out why the liberal Democrats are against presenting a picture ID before casting your vote in an election??

Heck, you have to show a picture ID to rent a car, change your postal address, open a bank account, or obtain a library card.

So why is it considered racist by the lefties to verify your identity before voting? .

Some state like In NC only certain types of ID will be accepted

a 30-year-old, African-American man who was unable to obtain government-issued photo identification. He was born at home, and his parents neglected to file and record his birth with the State of Michigan. As a result, he was not issued a birth certificate or a social security number. His story is quite common among poor African-American families living predominantly in the South who were born at home and were born in the jim crow days

These laws disproportionately affect elderly, minority and low-income groups. Obtaining photo ID can be costly and burdensome, with even free state ID requiring documents like a birth certificate that can cost up to $25 in some places. According to a study from NYU's Brennan Center, 11 percent of voting-age citizens lack necessary photo ID while many people in rural areas have trouble accessing ID offices. During closing arguments in a recent case over Texas's voter ID law, a lawyer for the state brushed aside these obstacles as the "reality to life of choosing to live in that part of Texas."

There have been only a small number of fraud cases resulting in a conviction. A New York Times analysis from 2007 identified 120 cases filed by the Justice Department over five years. These cases, many of which stemmed from mistakenly filled registration forms or misunderstanding over voter eligibility, resulted in 86 convictions.

There are "very few documented cases," said UC-Irvine professor and election law specialist Rick Hasen. "When you do see election fraud, it invariably involves election officials taking steps to change election results or it involves absentee ballots which voter ID laws can't prevent," he said.

How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor - Andrew Cohen - The Atlantic

Most Americans are accustomed to whipping out photo IDs at work, the bank or even their own apartment buildings. And their driver's license — perhaps the most common form of government-issued photo ID — has become just as indispensable.

"I get that all the time: 'What's the big deal? I just got my driver's license renewed, it took like five seconds,' " says Larry Norden, acting director of the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, which opposes these laws. "Frankly, that's why these laws have been so successful, because 89 percent of the population does have photo IDs."

That leaves another 3.2 million Americans who don't possess a government-issued picture ID

If you want to hear a bunch of antisemitism just talk to a member of the New Black Panther party.

Voter fraud nonsense

It's a warning to watch out for Democrats, they're a ticking time bomb

Funny how minorities claim they can't afford $15 to $25 to get a picture ID.

Yet they have plenty of money for weed, cell phones, tattoos, Air Jordan shoes, and ghetto fabulous hair and nails.

And how hard is it to go to the local DMW / RMV to get a picture ID?? ..

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Some threads really bring the slime out from under their rocks.

The whole reason for voter suppression is to suppress votes. Same with gerrymandering.

The right cannot win elections unless they lie, cheat and steal so of course, the rw nutters are in favor of it.

Renting cars and opening bank accounts are not constitutionally protected rights. Just as we cannot rid our streets of weapons designed for military use rather than sporting purposes because some folks can't tell the difference between well regulated militias, we cannot repress voting rights by requiring something some voters do not have.

Probably because no where in the constitution does it state you need an ID to vote and they see the ploy for what it is.....a ploy.

Ask yourself this: Who are the real "extremists"? The select few that act violently towards minorities; or those who are dead-set on flooding the country they run with immigrants with a medieval mindset, thus destabilising the demographics and consequently damaging the host culture beyond repair?

I'd say it's the latter.

The United States was founded by White Englishmen. Call me old fashioned (or racist, if you must) but on the strength of their ancestors' endeavours and achievements, I'd say that the White majority is perfectly entitled to ensure that the U.S. maintains a White racial majority.

Not in my opinion. Extremists are those that seek to destabilise their host's culture to further their own interests and damage the way of life everyone has a personal stake in. I'd say that the man that gunned down what he thought/hoped were Jews is a sociopath, and he should be punished accordingly.
