(Obama) Justice (Dept) concludes black voters need Democratic Party

[Hazcat]

By Ben Conery

KINSTON, N.C. | Voters in this small city decided overwhelmingly last year to do away with the party affiliation of candidates in local elections, but the Obama administration recently overruled the electorate and decided that equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without the Democratic Party.

The Justice Department's ruling, which affects races for City Council and mayor, went so far as to say partisan elections are needed so that black voters can elect their "candidates of choice" - identified by the department as those who are Democrats and almost exclusively black.

The department ruled that white voters in Kinston will vote for blacks only if they are Democrats and that therefore the city cannot get rid of party affiliations for local elections because that would violate black voters' right to elect the candidates they want.

  The evil of Factionalism flies in the face of the Founders intentions.
The dangers of this are repeatedly addressed in the Federalist Papers.

This isn't the evil of Factionalism, this is inappropriate and highly illegal meddling in local affairs by the US gummint.

That is 100% true.... However, I viewed it more as the administration saying that black people are too dumb to vote "correctly" unless the little (D) is next to the person's name that they are expected to vote for.

After all these years socialist coddling, many blacks ARE to dumb to vote "correctly". They think that little (D) or (R) matters more than the candidates position on issues. Most others are no better.
They should replace (D) and (R) with (Free sh!t ) and (Earn it ).
We all know how THAT vote would go

There are many white people that I know who vote blindly also..... The electorate as a whole is stupid!

I think that this move is a clear recognition of indoctrination, and that when it comes right down to it "The Great Uniter" is really nothing more then any other career politician...... just with a slightly different song and dance

 Here's a test.
Name one peaceful prosperous country ruled by a black socialist.

And that, young Grasshopper, is why we are a democratic Republic, and not a pure democracy like Athens of old.
