Citizen???

I received a brief e-mail from my most conservative friend this morning. Here it is:

Quote of the Day

"Fathom the hypocrisy of a Government

that requires every citizen to prove

they are insured...but not everyone

must prove they are a citizen."

I find it interesting that most liberals are opposed to asking people to prove that they are citizens to exercise certain rights and receive certain benefits. How crazy is that?

We have to show ID to buy cigarettes, show ID to buy liquor, show ID to get on a plane, but you don't have to show any identification to vote. How stupid is that??

There is an ongoing controversy about requiring identification before allowing people to vote. By law, only citizens can vote. So to require someone to prove that they are a citizen is simply enforcing the law. You would think that this is a simple concept, even for a Democrat. Apparently not!!

Some liberals claim that the ID requirement discriminates against the poor. They claim that they are too poor to go get an ID. Simple answer, don't vote. If you are too lazy to drag your butt out of the bed or off of the porch to go get an ID, then you are too lazy to do anything but vote a straight Democratic ticket anyway. You shouldn't be allowed to vote.

We need to return to the days when citizenship was a privilege. There are responsibilities associated with citizenship. Things like paying taxes, jury duty and having an ID. GET OVER IT!!!

The danger in a democracy is that persons A and B can conspire to cheat person C. This is what's happening in America today. Politicians who seek to keep their positions are willing to do anything for votes. They are taking money that I earn and giving it to people who won't work in exchange for their votes. Why would I vote for some moron who wants me to pay more taxes so that some deadbeat won't have to work?

While I am not as nearly profound as my most conservative friend, here's my quote for the day:

The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

I will close simply, it's time to vote the ##**##@@ out!!
