A Right to Vote? All in Favor Say, “Ouch.”

Is July 4th a date signifying the birth of a nation or the independence of free states? The more we pulsate on July 4th as the birthday of a nation the more we continue to bury what was once a republic.

 
But, more specifically:


Voting rights. The right to vote?


Prior to the 14th Amendment the phrase “right to vote” did not appear in the Constitution. It then appears (again magically) in the 15th Amendment as a not-so-subtle implication, again, that such “right” obviously was intended to draw inference from and for the Yankee mob who had been propagandized to kill and burn in the name of some new nation-to-be-created by old “Honest” Abe and his ilk. Sham righteousness was their flag, and national democracy was their goal, led by old “H-A” and his Northern (mostly New England) mob.


This “Right,” psychologically in place after 1865, and ordered and enforced at gunpoint by national (no longer federal) troops to disarm captives of the South; this new “birth-of-freedom” in its bloody afterbirth largely became the monster national state we serve (we are now the subject, not the object) today.


That is where the race to the voting booth began and our precious and so-called exemplary (of course-tongue-in-cheek) courts took on final authority of the Yankee kingdom. A kingdom where democracy was called king though the king’s court was necessarily attended by ochlocratic orientated stooges who are worshiped to this day as the official legal minds.


And worshiped they have been.


The few responsible men (yes) who had represented and voted in their independent states of the former union (now the nation) now - through political subterfuge -  have been eliminated through the courts and national edicts, i.e. amendments. There are no longer amendments to the Constitution because nullification and secession have been eliminated (at gunpoint). Therefore, each change after the 12th Amendment has been an edict.


Below is typical of the legalistic (and historical) drivel that is found online as well as at libraries, most certainly.


From The Colleges of law: (Boldface is my added emphasis)
 
 
Who Has the Right to Vote?


“There is no constitutional right to vote” sounds like the beginning of a Margaret Atwood novel.
But, unlike other rights listed in the Constitution, such as the right of the people to keep and bear arms in the Second Amendment, or the right to a speedy and public trial in the Sixth Amendment, the Constitution may not explicitly give U.S. citizens this beloved “right” to vote.


Scholars disagree on whether the U.S. Constitution gives Americans the right to vote.
Some believe that the right is implicit, embedded in the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and others argue that the right does not exist.


While scholars might not agree whether the Constitution guarantees the right to vote
, the U.S. Supreme Court does not hesitate to affirm the notion. In the 1972 decision in Dunn v. Blumstein, Justice Marshall stated, “In decision after decision, this Court has made clear that a citizen has a constitutionally protected right to participate in elections on an equal basis with other citizens in the jurisdiction.” And again in the 1974 Richardson v. Ramirez case, Justice Rehnquist wrote: “Because the right to vote ‘is of the essence of a democratic society, and any restrictions on that right strike at the heart of representative government,’… voting is a ‘fundamental’ right.”


Note the timeline above directs most discussion after 1865. And, of course, the grasping at Constitutional “straws and maybes.”


But onward,

Aristotle’s three forms of government and each’s corrupt form:
  1. Monarchy—Tyranny
  2. Republic –Oligarchy
  3. Democracy—Ochlocracy or mob rule


“A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” Thomas Jefferson


The problem for anarchists in achieving success is that in order to reach their goal they must have an organized effort. In other words, a system which creates its own paradox—organized anarchy. So, it is true of a mob. There is no thought within a mob that defends itself as properly governing anything other than a mob - which cannot be governed, by definition, i.e. that’s why they call it a mob.


This was the tenor in France before finally the mob turned on its own creators and gave them their own up close and personal view of Antoine Louis’s efficient Guillotine. Possibly the first criminal chop-shop.


Today, in Minnesota, Minnesotans have problems created of their own making. And it’s too bad (for them). They cannot nullify ICE, they cannot secede from ICE, nor its Lincoln-created national state.


And they have no one to blame but themselves. It was from Minnesota that some of the same Yankees who fought for the “right” to vote cloaked themselves in some monstrous lie that they were freeing slaves. Never, NEVER, could they see that they were not “freeing” anyone but were, in fact, enslaving everyone in their new birth of freedom.


And it was their Yankee silly-boys such as Hubert Humphrey et al who worshiped the “right to vote” (1965) for everyone (especially down South).


Personally, I say to hell with them. But that’s just me.
