I nearly went into cardiac arrest at the voting poll Tuesday (Page 3): My daughter and her husband were at the grocery store last year and a couple ahead of them had a birthday cake...

My daughter and her husband were at the grocery store last year and a couple ahead of them had a birthday cake, steaks, hamburger, hot dogs, buns, chips, and other party supplies and they paid with a wick card and then they loaded all of the food and supplies into a Cadillac Escalade.
I'm with you on cutting them off.

How the Hell are people from foreign lands who don't speak English, who are the future life-line of the Dems, supposed to vote? Come on. This is a violation of something, I'm sure. If this policy goes into effect all over the country, this will mean the Dems will have to figure out how to get more DEAD people to vote. Now that's going to be a problem...but I'm sure they can manage. Hillary, where are you when we really need you?

I have noticed from various reports that if work requirements are put in along with drug testing requirements that the welfare recipients usually either find a job or move to a different state. Wither of those solutions would work for me and thenafter we have them all rounded up have that final state put the same laws in effect or go broke.

I totally agree with you. Where I originally came from, if you were unemployed and on welfare, the government would give you three job listings and you were required to apply and interview before welfare would continue. That shook up a lot of free-loaders but it sure kept costs down for the rest of us.

Hummm, it makes your day to irritate someone else? Most of the rest of us would rather make life more pleasant for ourselves and others around us. It is sad to think our country is so divided politically that one party deems the other the enemy and looks for ways to further separate than try to find common ground. How can we expect congress to work together if we are unwilling to listen to alternate opinions and to see the things we have in common.

we certainly need more voices of reason here on OPP also

Well do we agree ... only citizens should be allowed to vote and requesting an ID is a good idea to aid in preventing illegal voting ?

Sounds like a good plan ... needs to be implemented nation wide !!!!!!

A couple of years ago I was asked once. Since then no one has asked for identification for me to vote. Then again most everyone knows me at the poll. I do not have a problem either way. To slightly change the subject to something related. The rest of my personal universe is getting batcrap crazy about IDs. Last year I renewed my CDL driver's license and had to dig out my birth certificate and sit in a DMV office for 3 hours watching DMV TV. Cruel and unusual punishment.

So life for normal Americans is getting worse. But it does get worse. My wife is beginning to plan foreign trips and insisted we get passports. If you thought this would be easy, you would be sadly mistaken. You have to find an official place to get your picture taken. Since my wife went through it first she found a Post Office, not all of them can do it, that can take the photo and process the passport paperwork. We call for an appointment, arrive, and the woman at the Post Office tells me that my Birth Certificate is not good enough. It was good enough for my CDL last year, but not for a Passport. It does not have the raised seal or list my parents.

She was in fact very much nicer than most government employees I deal with. She said here is the deal. You can do this online and wait up to 3 months to get another Birth Certificate or you can drive a few hours to an official state office and get one in a day. Okay. We call the state hotline and get put in one of those calling trees. Eventually when I gave up, my dear wife spoke to a human and we got more information. We had to get there before 11:30 am to get the document the same day.

This city which I will not mention sucked to drive through. They tend to put the exit signs after the exits. The 100 address was not in the 100 block, it was in the 400 block. Eventually after going to the police station we found the poorly marked building. 45 minutes in a line, that I must say actually moved, and I had my new and improved Birth Certificate. Apparently I am not the only one who found themselves with a bad Birth Certificate as everyone there seemed to have the same problem going for a new passport.

Tomorrow I have a new appointment at the Post Office to do my Passport. My point in this rant is, Democrats think that it is an inconvenience to have to provide an ID to vote. Well how about doing something about the inconvenience the government is putting the rest of us through ?

When I moved back to georgia and went to get another ga license they wanted current drivers license any marriage certificates and any divorce papers from any I had had I told her I had one marrage and one divorce which happened over 30 years ago. She told me I needed to go home and get them I said why would any one hang onto those that long and she told me to get copys. Hell I can barley remember peoples names and she wanted me to remember where i got married and divorced plus a birth certificate.

Abel, that's a great thing. Here in Va. we've had to show ID for years even though we are known on a first name basis. It should be required throughout the Country. Also citizenship should be required on the census form as there is a huge adjustment to many things depending on the head count. Mike

Abel, I don't usually read long winded, bloviating screeds but I did read yours and am I glad I did. You covered it all and in a very thorough manner. Thank you. Mike

Abel wrote:

Well kayo baby, when I have an irritation or an itch I tend to scratch it, however, you appear to have trouble handling it when a conservative pushes back with a bit of humor, and Progressives happen to irritate me. I'm also allergic to stupidity and I break out with sarcasm. If you really wished to make people around you more pleasant you'd get off the tack of objecting to everything, rioting, destroying other people's property, and general piss-pot stirring and give up your socialist IDIOTology of making this country a Socialist Utopian failure.

I do enjoy listening or reading alternate opinions, and I usually learn something, good or bad, from most of them even when I disagree with them. Believe it or not, I have even heard a few good ideas come out of the minds of liberal extremists, but damned few; most of their ideas are more of a "what's in it for me?" category, or "do it for the common good, as long as it benefits me" type. The real Socialist mooch phrase is "do it for the children" to pull on the heart strings. If I didn't bother to pay attention to the opinions of others, I would have no justification to present one of my own!

Yes, it is sad that many Donkey Jockeys think they need to divide the United States, and continue to follow Communism; dividing the USA is their bag. Racism, Religionism, Multilingualism, Multiculturalism, Political Correctness, Obstructionism, Agitation, Ridicule, Slander, Social Isolation, Lack of tolerance for others in thought and deed, are all divisive "means to an end justification" right out of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals; the end in this case being the destruction of the USA by any means they can think of, of course. So go right ahead, it is, after all, your First Amendment Right, under the Constitution of the USA, and spread your donkey droppings everywhere; we conservative patriots will keep cleaning up after you sheeple and your socialist failures as best we can. But please bear in mind that we DO know the difference between a "hand up" and a "handout" and one of these days our patience will wear thin enough that we will quit carrying you.

Our Constitution gives us the Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness; Pursuit is a key word here - meaning that you can pursue happiness, but there is no guarantee that you will find it! Happiness is different for different people, and that is where tolerance for others comes into the picture; just because something someone does makes you unhappy, they have the Right to it making themselves happy, so be tolerant and let them be happy in their way and you be happy in your way! To continually piss and moan about it will make neither of you happy, so both lose! Is that what they really want? This country has really dropped the ball on this one! For most Progressives being happy is when they are spreading unhappiness to everyone else! A "good Democratic manager" is one who ferrets out whatever his employees enjoy, and puts a stop to it!

As to the Congress, it is the Establishment with their subordinate Donkey Jockeys, the RINOs, that are the left-tilted objectors and community agitators, not the true conservative Republicans that would dearly love to do something good for the country but are continually distracted by all the donkey droppings they have to clean off their shoes; Democrat Donkeys crap everywhere and on everything. President Trump would do a great deal more to make the USA great again, if it weren't for his being bombarded relentlessly by the Communist financed and controlled Enemedia and the Democrats, proving, of course, that ONE SHOULD NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS, particularly when they are all owned by the same Elite Globalists. At this point in time, due to the rabid subversive anti-USA influx of Progressive Democrats and their shitheel RINOs into Congress, both parties now suck, and they will continue to suck until their Establishment IDIOTology is defeated! It does give me some pleasure when President Trump manages to rid the White House of an Obama holdover who is sabotaging himself and the country; better late than never, but it should have been happening from the very first month of his term in office, not a year later.

So kayo baby, I can forgive you for not knowing what you really want for sure (most younger folks who were educated in K-12 public schools, or most Colleges and Universities in the last few decades don't), a Constitutionally limited Republic or a Socialist Utopian Dictatorship, but I would appreciate it if you would try to be satisfied with humping your Donkey and quit molesting the USA's Lady Liberty! The USA may one day be overcome by a Progressive tsunami of liberal sheeple, but the USA experiment and dream won't be a failure, even if it is taken over by a tyrannical Socialist Utopia that is doomed to failure from its very beginning. One can tell a youngster, but can't tell them much, as they say, but these spoiled activist kids had better be careful of what they wish for because the glowing results the Socialists crow about most likely won't turn out to be as advertised in their agitprop!

Have a great day!

My wife worked for Social Services (welfare) for 35 years. Under President Bush there was a work requirement, the welfare rolls went down. Almost as soon as the halfacan was elected he did away with work requirements and the lines of mostly blacks with some none English speaking muslims and Hispanics and some whites, went around the building and most became very cocky in that they were deserving of everything they could get. Leftist stupidity. Mike

I don't even know my small rural town anymore..so many non English speaking people. I blame.this on Hormel, our meat packing plant here. They bring them in and give.them.every break in the book, they work at Hormel for about 3 months, quit because it's too hard. Oh...boo hoo...and then go on government help.
