Ms. Ancrum,

I read the article by Alex Daugherty in Friday’s Miami Herald about voter fraud, voter suppression, and voter intimidation in Broward County with growing amazement since I was not aware that Broward had become Hudson County South or Duval County East.

Let the record show that I cast my first ballot for Lyndon Johnson in 1964. I recall being told by my betters that if Goldwater had won, we would have 2,000,000 men in Vietnam with who knows how many casualties, followed by race riots and then inflation. Who could vote for that? Not I.

Ah, the good old days!

Before I get to the nitty and the gritty of the inherently intrinsic bias of the DNA of Broward County – Wait a minute! That can’t be right. Don’t they vote for manatee suffrage and for naming the abortion clinic after Dr. Mengele? – could you tell me why having to show a photo ID to vote is akin to being Bull Connor? You remember him, don’t you? He was a delegate to the Democratic Convention in Atlantic City in 1964. Why don’t you rale against showing a photo ID to open a bank account, going to a hospital or getting on a plane? Would not Logic dictate that if requiring a photo ID to vote is prima facie racist the others would have to be also.

I see where Alcee Hastings is one of the Inquisitors, with the best part being that there is not even a hint of sarcasm or even a soupcon of slyness. Lest we forget, hos felonious ass was tossed off the Federal Bench because he was a crook. He got to Congress because the White Red-Neck Crackers from rural Florida colluder with Black urban fire eaters to give him a district that would have elected Strep-n-Fetchit or H. Rap Brown.

Your reporter implies that paying fines, fines that were part of the original sentence, is doubly racist in addition to being ex post facto or something. And further, it diminishes the will of the people. “The will of the people” is an interesting use of “eclectic indignation”, a technique without which modern American Liberals could not survive. The people “expressed their will” on the subject of same sex marriage when they voted it down, didn’t they? Why is that democratic demonstration, vox populi, if you will, ignored while the other is trumpeted? Shouldn’t that count, if only for a little bit? 

Another thing I learned in Bayonne is never to argue with a canceled check. While Little Debbie, the closeted Brown-Shirt, and Alcee the Grifter are hunting for victims of voter suppression, the long promised “Summer of Recovery”, remember that quaint term that was like Godot because it never did get here, got here. Economic numbers that are simply astonishing are being posted like a green lighted freight train hurtling across the fruited plain. “Shovel-ready jobs”, my ass. 

Keynes was right. Tax cuts, deregulation, and a “loosening of the animal spirits” will soon turn Bernie the Bolshie and Boobette AOC into boosters for Big Business and accelerated depreciation. 

For the first time since people began to keep score women and minorities, long used to being on the hind teat, are leading the percentage climb up the ladder of success. And there’s nothing the dopey Dems can do about it. 

And that’s deplorable.
