I began writing about this after a trip to Houston in 2010 where I witnessed the actions of the King Street Patriots*. The name is so misrepresentative of their demeanor and actions it's stunning.Letters to AG Holder at first acknowledged eventually returned no response and no action till recently way after these clowns got a big head.It's the same old same old.Fail to enforce a Law will always lead to more abuse of those laws and a re enforcement of these groups of cowards actions.
Wrapped in the Flag and claiming to be Patriotic while they go about intimidating and questioning other's right to freely cast their Vote is a low point in our society.
With weapons clearly displayed in defiance of Laws Prohibiting such Brandishing** they went unchallenged to a large degree and now expanded across the Country.
Think about it. American Citizens stopping other Citizens from voting thru the guise of Voter Fraud that does not exist in the forms they claim. THEY ARE THE VOTER FRAUD.They do exactly what they claim they are against and get away with it.
If FEC and DOJ won't do anything what are Law Biding Citizens to do ? Well.the regrettable but necessary answer is to fight them with our presence at the Polling Places. To put up a Firewall between them and the Voters.
Westboro Baptist Church Radicals got a taste of this deterrant from Students at Texas A&M when they attempted to disrupt a Funeral for a Fallen Soldier.And it worked. It would work here also but I admit it could and probably will result in bloodshed. But this is what is left to be done at this late stage as Local,Federal Agencies ignored repeated warnings from 2010 and only within the last six months have mounted any Legal remedies which at best will only dampen,or tone down these treacherous endeavors.
Others have died for the Right To Vote in the Past. I'm afraid that possibility is close at hand in many States. Can you blame us for wanting this confrontation ? I think not and I think it's time to do it.
The Republicans have stolen previous elections with the help of the SCOTUS and they know that this is now in their bag of tools. The adrenalin of Hate is a drug to them.No ethics,no morals,no conscience. Only their goal matters in their twisted minds.
I'm lucky I live in a state with Mail In Ballots in most Counties and will not be subjected to this.But in one County that happens to hold the largest amount of Minority Voters it does come into play as Ballots are cast at Polling Places.
Even though I'm dealing with Medical Issues I have volunteered to be a visible deterrent to these Assholes and I'm perfectly willing to stand my ground with any who would take up this practice,hell I welcome it.Years of working in NY City while carrying large amounts of cash late at night let me hone my "Presence" to ward off muggers by simple gestures once they approached so I know the game.I understood those who sought to rob me,they were junkies,low lifes and unfortunates caught up in a life of strife. They were trying to survive and I formed no ill toward them,only a desire to not be a victim.
But this is different. These so called Patriots purpose is to steal something far more valuable to people and in the most despicable un Patriotic way.
I'm not promoting violence, I'm saying we must push back on these morons,many of whom will turn tail and run when confronted by an equal force,I mean why do you think they are so blatant in the first place ? They think only they have guns evidently and sticking one in their face the way they do to others more often than not results in them running away.Wild West denizens they are not,just armed bullies who need to be shown the era of their ways.
They have never stopped fighting the Civil War in the South and Texans are in the forefront in demanding the rest of us conform to their whims and now have exported their skewed perception of reality to other parts of the Country with Tea Party backing.
Do Something.Don't let this continue to happen.Be vocal.Write a letter to your paper or News outlets.
