Absolute Power

I have this dim memory from years ago of someone criticizing Democrats for interefering in people's lives. I think it had to do with political correctness (which is simply an opinion that can bring about feelings of self-consciousness, responsibility or guilt) or perhaps taxes (money from one's wallet). I can't remember the specifics. But I will say this, no one interferes in people's freedoms like a conservative Republican vying for power:

I've just been reading about how Jeb Bush has police literally knocking on the doors of black voters in Florida in order to intimidate get-out-the-vote leaders and their neighbors. Scare tactics suppress voter turnout.

The FBI is questioning college students and the elderly who are part of peace movements in California, Colorado and Missouri. The Missouri college students were planning to protest at the political conventions but changed their minds since they were faced with being "criminally investigated" and were thrown before a grand jury. This is also the threat being used against black voters in Florida.

The lesson I take away from these incidents is that certain Republicans have NO SENSE of respect for life, liberty and the puruit of happiness in America. They are mindlessly, greedily interfering in our RIGHT to free speech, our RIGHT to vote, in addition to personal issues like being gay or being pregnant. And as for f--king with foreigners...illegal immigrants, prisoners at Guantanomo and Abu Ghraib...the Republicans treat foreigners of all kinds like inhuman animals. Is this what they have in mind for us?

They have shown us how they use absolute power.

These Republicans (and any other politician who has no respect for our liberties) must GO, they deserve to be voted out of our government.

Peace.
