Well, a federal judge has “fixed” Port Chester, New York’s “broken” electoral system by giving every Hispanic voter six votes to each white voter’s one. See. Isn’t that much better? It’s wonderful when the feds can come into a community and make everything all better like that.
You might think I’m joking about the six votes. Well, I’m not. Federal Judge Stephen Robinson reached into his back of penumbras and decided he had the magick fairie dust that would fix the elections in Port Chester because Hispanics were somehow being mysteriously and steadily disenfranchised there.
How did he come to that conclusion? Well, you see, as it happens the district is nearly 50% Hispanic yet no Latino had ever been elected to any of the six trustee positions. So OBVIOUSLY Hispanics were being disenfranchised. QED, really. Of course, bothering to vote at all and get involved in their local government might have helped those Hispanics aspiring to serve, but who needs all the messy hard work of actually trying to get elected when some half-wit federal judge can blow into town and start “electing” Hispanics by federal fiat?
This is one of the most disgusting displays of leftist social engineering I’ve seen in quite a while. Instead of encouraging Hispanics in the area to undertake an interest in their own civic duties, this judge decides to just give the few Hispanics that bother to vote extra votes to even out the playing field.
There couldn’t be anything more American than the ages old democratic principle of one man, one vote, but here comes Obama’s federal government to throw away generations of democracy and to create a new system, one of “cumulative voting” to give any minority that claims to be underserved a six-times greater advantage than those that have taken the time to actually involve themselves in their community.
And do you want a quote from the AP story that shows one of the most glaring examples of how un-American this whole thing is?
“I hope that if Hispanics get in, they do something for all the Hispanic people,” Sandoval said in Spanish. “I don’t know, but I hope so.”
There is so much wrong with this indigent cretin’s quote that it’s hard to recount them all.
First of all the AP notes that this likely illegal alien delivered his quote in Spanish. That alone should disqualify him as a source for a quote, much less citizenship in this American nation. Secondly, this un-American bystander is hoping that if they get elected “Hispanics” will “do something“ for “Hispanic people.” I have an idea. Instead of that, Mr. Sandoval, how about we get some AMERICANS doing something for AMERICAN PEOPLE when they get elected?
Well, Mr. Sandoval, let me hope that your “Hispanic people” are always on the outside looking in as long as they consider themselves alien “Hispanics” and not Americans.
If these so-called Hispanics want to get representatives of their choosing elected, here’s an idea: let them start getting involved in America and its political system. Don’t sit around moping over your tacos and Dos Equis and whine that there are no Hispanics on your local city council, Mr. Sandoval. Find some folks prominent in your community, do some fund raising for them, run them as a candidate, and get them elected like everyone is supposed to do.
And for Lord’s sake stop calling yourself an alien “Hispanic” and become an American, one deeply in love with our philosophy, our culture, and our history. If you want to be a “Hispanic” do it in Guatemala, or Mexico City. We don’t want you here unless you want to be one of us. But if you sincerely want to join the United States of America, we’ll welcome you with open arms.
This whole idea was pushed by another one of those Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that want to seriously undermine the American system and weaken our nation. As such, FairVote.org is behind this little outrage. The organization touts itself as the “center for voting and democracy,” but what it really wants is to eliminate the U.S. system of elections and put in its half-baked, ever changing schemes angled to destroy democracy and turn over the nation to a tyranny of minorities.
The organization was started by 1980 presidential election loser John Anderson who was upset that his independent bid for the presidency had such a dismal outcome. Some of the other folks involved in this thing is pretty telling of the ulterior motives of the organization, though.
On the Advisory Committee, for instance, is radical gay activist Rashad Robinson, operative of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), Ms Magazine editor Katherine Spillar, left-wing Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr., radical enviro activist Erin Bowser, and other extremists. There isn’t a center right name in the bunch showing exactly what is really motivating them. Not a serious address of our electoral system, but a radical, left-wing redesign meant to empower other left-wingers and their special interests.
In the end, what we have here is a federally approved — nay federal mandated — destruction of our electoral system implemented to give power to people too stupid to bother to get involved in their own community. All orchestrated by an NGO that wants to destroy the country.
And of course, we know what the next step will be. Judges like this and their NGO co-conspirators will want to give the vote to illegals and non-citizens.
Obama’s Chicago Way style of federal politics continues down its sordid path.
