Democrats like to argue that “voter ID” discriminates against minorities. This argument does not pass the basic common-sense test. Minorities, like everybody else, need ID cards (driver’s license) in order to drive. They need ID cards in order to purchase alcohol (qualifying age).
The assumption, that minorities have a hard time getting ID cards, paints minorities as being unable to solve normal everyday problems.
A trip to the DMV would show both Caucasian and minority customers. Minorities are also able to get ID cards for use at recreation centers. Student ID? No problem. Minorities don’t have problems getting on flights, they have to show an ID card to get through TSA.
Go to the passport office, or somewhere that helps put together passport applications, and you’ll see all races and both genders represented.
In North Carolina, the Republican-led legislator sent a bill to the Governor’s desk. This was a bill that would require showing a valid ID card prior to voting. The Governor, a Democrat, vetoed the bill. The Republican-led Legislature successfully overrode the veto.
From MSN.com:
Republicans steered a photo voter ID question onto the November ballot as a constitutional amendment, and 55 percent of voters approved it.
Lawmakers followed up with a bill to implement the amendment. Cooper vetoed the bill last week. During a news conference Tuesday, he said the Legislature should have waited until next session to talk about voter ID. The Legislature will have more Democrats next year, and Republicans will no longer have veto-proof majorities in the House and Senate.
The House vote followed a heated debate in which Republicans criticized Cooper for his veto and Democrats recounted the state’s history of racism, from slavery to the present.
State Rep. David Lewis, a Harnett County Republican, said Cooper insulted voters who approved photo ID. Lewis said he worked hard to make it easy for voters to comply with a new law.
The law counts as acceptable IDs driver licenses, passports, military and veteran IDs, tribal enrollment cards, college IDs, state ID cards issued to nondrivers, state and municipal employee IDs, and a new type of ID issued by local boards of election.
People who don’t have the required ID would be able to cast provisional ballots after signing an affidavit at the polls explaining why they do not have one.

Nah…
Need to have an ID to by OTC sold meds with phenylephrine… and the state keep tabs on how much you buy in a month period
Actually, it’s Pseudoephedrine HCl meds that you have to show ID for and are tracked thanks to the meth junkies.
I hate to disagree with your statement, but it was the politicians that had to “do something” to address the meth explosion.
This is the best they could come up with and the meth explosion has continued uninterrupted…
They can’t wait to tell the voters that they solved the problem, but, like almost all things political, it never works at all…
Everybody wants a panacea, and there is no such thing…
Unfortunately, Maryland never took the appropriate measures to counter the growing placebo addiction problem, resulting in Elaine Ricci taking extended medical leave as the president of a proud but humble woman owned business while she had addiction treated at the Betty Rubble Clinic.
Speaking of the Betty Rubble Clinic, when Elaine had a few moments between oil changes on a rusting Jag and board meetings to sell open source software, do you think she could pop in to the gift shop and get me a set of commemorative shot glasses?
Do Betty and Barney call it “bouncing the Rubbles” ?
There is only one reason Dems oppose Voter ID. It would make it more difficult for them to cheat come election time. That is the only reason.
What, like registering Dead People, homeless and illegal aliens to Vote and busing people around to vote in multiple precincts? Naaaah, have they ever been caught doing that in places like Milwaukee? Say, Detroit where the vote recount suddenly came to a screeching halt when they found serious anomalies in multiple precincts?
Palm Beach County, Florida.
Nuff said.
Detroit, where the votes outnumbered the registered voters in many precincts?
Or, in 2018, where Debbie Stabenow won 15 counties out of 83, and 11 of them were the home of large universities? Except Washtenaw County, which is home to two large universities? I wonder if any of the yutes attending said universities vote by absentee ballot at home(out of state) and then at their local address at college?
I got a kick out of the line about democrats “citing the state’s history of racism.” Yes, South Carolina does indeed have a long history of racist laws and practices…that were upheld by democrats.
Wrong state; one north.
Um, no. SC also had “Jim Crow” laws legalizing segregation and public discrimination against blacks. See my comment below.
No, I meant Cooper is governor of NC.
Upheld by? Try “passed and practiced by”. The South overwhelmingly supported the Democratic party in the 1860 election (it was then the party supporting slavery). The Democratic party resumed political control in the South after Reconstruction, and proceeded to pass “Jim Crow” laws disenfranchising and legally discriminating against Blacks. It wasn’t until the 1960s that things changed significantly. Even then, GOP support was required (a large segment of the Democratic party then was from the South, and GOP support was required to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1965).
And don’t forget good ol’ boy Robert Byrd – proud US Senator, Klansman, and Democrat.
In West-by-God Virginia one can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a Robert Byrd Memorial something or other. He’s everywhere.
I’ve heard that he has more Federal Buildings named after him than anyone else.
Apologies for my poor word choice, Hondo. And thank you for the clarification.
Want to start a bank account? You’d better have valid ID in order to do so.
Want to adopt a cat from a shelter? ID & home address verification required.
I live in NC and some of the BS that goes on here is neck deep. Progtards cluster in certain areas mostly and luckily I can stay clear.
I voted for the voter ID Law, but knew there was gonna be a shitstorm about it. I suspect the fed will strike it down since they’ve done so to other states already.
The Wake county sheriff needs a boot to the head as well for all the illegals he’s been proudly releasing back onto the streets against ICE detainers.
I know that Asheville is a progtard-infested locale, what are the others?
Chapel Hill and Durham are probably as bad or worse than Asheville. Raleigh and Charlotte are both pretty bad (like most urban areas). Generally speaking the I-85 arc from Charlotte to Raleigh is where the most prog votes can be found in this state.
Roy Cooper is an embarrassment to the state of NC. He was inept as Attorney General and only won governor by having questionable votes cast in the election. His veto of the voter ID law proves that. Can’t wait until his worthless ass is out of office.
As for the state, it used to be pretty good. Now there are so many liberals moving in it is unrecognizable. The last real North Carolinian left please keep the flag….
Yes I live here, was born here, and once I retire am leaving.
Similar problems in California, though my rural corner thereof is minimally infected. Maybe I’m just stubborn, but I refuse to just let the hippies win.
…I live down I-77 in Columbia SC, but visit NC often. I tell people the same thing – NC is way more conservative than you’d think, but Asheville, Raliegh-Durham – Chapel Hill, and Charlotte skew the state leftwards, especially in the view of the media.
A handful of Lefty cities lording it over the rest of the state just shows that we -must- hang on to the Electoral College, or whatch our Republic collapse into corrupt mobocracy.
We need a Constitutional Amendment mandating an electoral college for Governor, by counties. Other states would also benefit.
yeah, we call it “The People’s Republic of Chapel Hill”
They banned guns there, but of course can’t enforce it because they’ll get sued. But it gave them quim spasms to feel good doing it and then virtue signal about it.
You know what Jesse Helms said-“we should put a fence around Chapel Hill and call it the state zoo.”
I’m sure that NC Governor Roy Cooper is wanting to do all he can to inflict as much of the D-rat agenda as he can on that State beginning with abetting as much voter fraud as he can an Voter ID Laws are quite a deterrent to that. What’s next, will he espouse the belief that non-Citizens, including illegal aliens should be allowed to vote like in California?
I don’t *think* he’s that kind of Democrat, but I voted for (then incumbent Governor) McCory.
I have been an Arkansas county election commissioner since 2003 and served 6 years as a state election commissioner. Voter ID is the best thing since bubble gum. The Dems claim only minorities don’t have ID or will be disenfranchised. Bullshit. We included issuing a free ID card to those who claim not to have them and also afford those without ID the opportunity to sign an affidavit of eligibility if they don’t have identification. I am here to tell you requiring voter identification stops election fraud. Note, “election fraud” not voter fraud because there is a difference, primarily associated with absentee ballots.
Voting is a constitutional right. Driving is not. Comparisons to a driver license are inherently flawed.
The same is true for IDs for flying. Flying is not a constitutional right.
Voter ID laws have mixed success constitutionally depending on the provisions in the law.
The last North Carolina voter ID law was declared unconstitutional. We will see how this one does when it reaches the federal courts.
Voter fraud is exceedingly rare. These voter ID laws are really about suppressing low income voters. Particularly blacks.
I actually don’t care if people are required to have IDs. As long as they are completely free to get and can be acquired quickly on the same day as the election. Requiring people pay for an ID required to vote is essentially a poll tax.
By the way, while voter fraud is exceedingly rare; Election fraud is not rare. However, republicans seem fine with election fraud. There are caught up in a huge election fraud scandal right now that my cost them a congressional seat.
Funny how all you “small government” conservatives are suddenly big government when it means suppressing votes of people.
The point, dumbass, is not that driving and flying are constitutional rights. The point is that obtaining an ID is not difficult for anyone. This, claiming that requiring IDs for got voting doesn’t suppress the minority’s vote.
I appreciate another viewpoint, but Jesus, you’re dense.
You say voter fraud is rare, that’s a clear sign that you have your head so far up your ass that the only daylight you see is through your nostrils!
Voter fraud is rare. Even Trump’s partisan task force found that out and their report confirmed how rare it is.
You’ve been gone a while… did mommy call dinner, or did you have attend an Antifa meeting? or maybe just confer with your “professors” on how to respond? The only reason more fraud wasn’t found by the commission is because D-rat politicians and election officials refused to cooperate with the investigation… nice option they had there..
He was likely doing something like THIS in some UC Berzerkely “Safe Space”:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09GeYkSwqEg
That’s like saying speeding is rare.
PROSECUTION of it is rare, relative to the frequency of the offense.
Plus, a state government did this, which is entirely in line with small government proponents, so…
State governments set most voter laws. It has nothing to do with the size of government. Many state laws are far more big government and authoritarian than federal laws.
Besides, now that conservatives have a huge majority on the SCOTUS dems will be the big advocates of states rights as arguments against SCOTUS rulings.
You won’t be claiming states rights equal small government then.
The fact is the jurisdiction that passes the law says nothing about whether the law is a large or small government policy.
It is what the law actually says and does that determines how much government power it assumes.
States are still government. Bickering about which jurisdiction has a particular power has nothing to do with how much power the government has or how “big” it is.
The fact that you all think states rights = small government shows just how much you have been indoctrinated into the government propaganda narratives.
You are a walking, talking Supervolcano of BULLSHIT, Babbles McButthead!
Indeed they do. Article I, Section 2 of the US Constitution explicitly grants that authority to the states. That’s why states have the authority to require registration prior to voting – and also have broad latitude to establish who may and may not vote, provided they are consistent with what the Constitution provides elsewhere on the matter (can’t discriminate with respect to voting in Federal elections on the basis of race, gender, require payment of taxes, or require anyone to be older than 18 to vote). In particular, it’s why states have the authority to bar unpardoned felons from voting – and yes, that’s fully conistent with the 14th Amendment (the bar is a result of due process of law).
Based on the above, it would seem that a state woudl be well within its authority to require a photo ID for identity verification purposes in order to guard against voter fraud – which, contrary to your assertion, is indeed fairly common. Provided a free ID is available to those who can demonstrate inability to pay, the argument of “disparate impact” – which is precisely why voter ID laws have been struck down in lower courts – is specious if not outright false. And no, such an ID does not need to be available for issue on election day; same day election registration isn’t generally allowable, and registration deadlines are recognized as acceptable. Frankly, I expect the SCOTUS to rule exactly that way (voter ID acceptable if no-fee ID is available to those who can demonstrate economic need) if they ever consider the matter.
Honestly, Poodle (AKA Commissar): we know you don’t bother to fact-check before commenting here. But do you even bother to think about what you are going to say before waxing ignorant in print here? Or are you simply incapable of logical thought?
ID is requires of all delegates to Democrat conventions.
Huh. How about a lawsuit for -that-? Definitely impacting minorities, etc.
Why the same day as elections? are you saying that minorities are not smart enough to understand they need to get one ahead of time? Why do you say it especially effects blacks? Are you saying they in general are not as smart as other races? It seems all of the lefts arguments are based in racism, saying that minorities are not as capable in most any realm as whites, and therefore need special assistance or consideration…
Seems democrats haven’t changed at all since they founded the KKK….
And one has to have ID to purchase a gun or to apply for a carry permit in the many states tath require a license, a Constitutional right. What’s your point, that ID for some rights is acceptable to you but not for others?
Having to show ID to vote is no more “suppressing votes of the people” than showing ID to purchase and carry a gun. Will you be consistent in calling for the end of showing ID to exercise all rights?
I saw a video not long ago. In it, a small team went to a minority neighborhood to ask them a series of questions all concerning voting and ID. The questions were;
1. Do you have ID?
2. Was it difficult to get your ID?
3. What do you think of the argument that you are being denied voting rights because you can’t get ID?
The answers shouldn’t surprise anyone with half a brain. Everyone the videographers spoke to had ID. None thought it was hard to get ID. They thought the argument that they were being denied idiotic. They said it painted minorities as lazy, stupid, and unable to do for themselves. They believed that anyone who held those views was racist.
You’ve exposed yet another logical shortcoming of Poodle’s
Communist Dogma“Progressive” talking points, ArmyATC. He can’t answer you without addressing that logical contradiction. So he never will address that question.It would be entertaining to see him attempt to square that circle using only compass and straightedge, though – though the abuse of logic would probably also be painful to see. (smile)
Voter fraud is exceedingly RARE?????
On what planet? So you’ve NEVER heard of the VOTER FRAUD that has gone on in Chicago since before Al Capone started running gin mills and speakeasies?
If you really believe that, you are even stupider than I thought you were a year and a half ago. You have finally, Taylor, let everyone on the planet know how utterly uninformed and stupid you are.
I left out all that voter fraud that went on in Texas when Lyndon Johnson was starting his political career. That’s not the only place, but it’s at least as bad as Chicago and Cook County.
GeeZ! Truly the stupidest thing you’ve said this week!
I like how he also tries to paint voter fraud (a long time tactic of the Democrats) as different from what he calls “election fraud”, which is apparently a Republican tactic. 🙄
Folks, anytime you think YOU feel like a total dumbass, JUST REMEMBER that some people truly believe the shit that Lars/Babbles McButthead says!
Whazza matta, Lars?
Integrity of the election process that much of an issue with you?
Are you saying low income Caucasians and Hispanics are also not suppressed? That is racist to suggest only Blacks don’t have identification. I heard the same crap parroted by the liberal who filed (and lost) the Arkansas voter ID suit and the ACLU. I really wanted to slap this sonovabitch as hard as I could but it was not worth going to jail over.
I want to take this one step further because liberal pukes really piss me off. We had an old Black woman show up at the Tucker poll with a photo of her drivers license on her daughters cell phone. Could not see the expiration date making it ineligible. I asked why she just didn’t bring the license and those accompanying the woman said she was “unstable”. My instructions to the election judge was “vote her”. I gave them knowing she was going to vote Dumbocrat but right is right.
Your casual racism is showing along with your total ignorance of the problem of voter fraud.
Minorities in the US have a problem getting an ID at all. Only lefties are so racist asto believe that they are dumb, lazy, or ignorant to do so.
Immigrants have no problem getting ID cards. Only lefties are so racist as to believe they are not able to do so.
Only lefties are so busy committing voter fraud to claim it is “rare”.
As for the what is a constitutional right vs what is not, it is a point that does not matter and you know it. If the government requires you to provide proof of your identity to exercise a right, it is not denying your rights–isn’t that the argument behind “free speech zones”, firearm registration, gun free zones, business licensing, etc, etc? Why yes, it is your side’s argument against destruction of 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, and 10th amendment rights.
In fact, if the votes of illegal aliens, etc where not so important for you to implement your fascistic tyranny, you would have already implemented an ID requirement.
Keep repeating the dialectic, comrade. Perhaps your fellow travelers will turn on you last, eh?
You also look the other way and act like it is no big deal when a hostile foreign power interferes in our election with the collaboration of members of a candidate’s campaign team and family.
And perhaps the candidate himself.
You also still support the NRA even though it KNOWINGLY and illegally acted as a middle man to funnel money from the Kremlin into Republican candate campaign accounts.
So I guess it is fine if a hostile power is conspiring with GOP operatives in violating election laws as long as they are helping your candidates.
Seriously at what point does your inner conscience whisper the words “collaborator” or “traitor” to yourselves about the crap you are fine with?
.
Get back on your meds, you insufferable prick.
You remind me that some people are like an old TV set, you have to slap them a few times in order for them to get the right picture!
>Run program NPC<
Better yet,
rm -rf *.*
Or maybe we can show Lars the “secret” TAH files. You know, the one where you have to delete your System32 file before you can see them.
“You also still support the NRA even though it KNOWINGLY and illegally acted as a middle man to funnel money from the Kremlin into Republican candate campaign accounts.” Facts not in evidence there jackass…
Outside of liberal outlets, there hasn’t been a single substantiated claim that the NRA knew there was anything illegal.
Just another leftist attack on a true grassroots, peoples and civil rights organization.. (one of the first to support the rights of recently freed blacks to own firearms, in confilct with laws passed by, wait for it…. DEMOCRATS)… But don’t let facts, or actual history get in the way of your narrative…
If Babbles McButthead ever had even the tiniest of thoughts outside of the UC Berzerkely propaganda cemented into his head, it would explode. He has a mind like concrete, it’s permanently set and all mixed up!
NRA funneling money to the Kremlin? So you think Maria Butina, as dumb as she was, was a bagman for the Kremlin or something, is that it?
You should really stop posting stuff now. Or do you want people to think that you are a complete loon???
Show a case of a single GOP member who has been arrested, charged, and convicted of anything you said.
Uh, Lars … you used the wrong pronoun there.
You should have said, “And perhaps the candidate *her*self.”
After all, Wide Load’s campaign paid for that silly Russian dossier that was never vetted, denied by its compiler as true, and yet used to get FISA court warrants against the Trump campaign.
Yeah, use the right pronoun. Hillary Clinton tried to get the Russians involved, not President Trump.
With Christopher Steele now going on record that he was hired so that Hillary could contest the results of the election should she lose!
And yet you have no issue when a sitting US Senator goes to the Soviets to have them interfere with a presidential election.
Fuck, son, if it weren’t for double standards, you’d have no standards at all.
He is just butt-hurt because he helped elect Trump.
He did state he voted “Green” instead of Dem, correct? Who did that hurt, and who did it help? That’s gotta hurt.
Butt-hurt seagull.
“If he is named Lars,
And spreads shit like roof tar,
He’s a moron…”
Hack Stone will just leave this here for your consideration:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keXx0zxTarE
Where’s the slow clap video thing?
He WAS talking about gymnastics, right???
Sure he was. Uh-huh.
Project much, Seagull?
Every time you post I see “collaboration” in action.
So the Russians did not “influence” our election. That may be a nice bed time story you tell yourself, but it is false. Unlike your own god and savior who directly destroyed the duly constituted government of Ukraine and replaced the leaders with cronies.
The NRA did not knowingly and illegally act as a middle man to do anything with the “kremlin”. In fact, the only person who can be proven to have moved money from the Russian government to a campaign is your prophet of corruption, Hillary.
Going further, the only party in the USA conspiring with hostile powers is the DNC. I can see your fevered hallucinations and call them what they are, lies.
So, back to your “conscience” (which apparently whispers–a sign of significant mental illness), the only person here who has any real need of confession is you, comrade.
But like all useful idiots, you will continue to lie to yourself in hopes your “friends” will gulag you last.
Yeah, you fuckwit, that $ 4K in Ruskie Facebook ads is what influenced 61 million voters to vote for Trump. You believe every absurd piece of agitprop that the prog hive mind transmits to you.
Claiming that “Voter ID” discourages or prevents minority voting is racist. Are we to assume that minorities are intellectually unable to obtain an ID acceptable to use when they vote?
That’s what the dems believe. Disgusting.
Of course, by making “victims” out of perfectly capable human beings they get to concurrently uphold their bigotry AND keep themselves busy taking care of those victims they created. “You NEED us” is their rallying cry – as if folks can’t take of themselves. Well, with enough time, the crippling effects of drug abuse, miseducation and all the other programs forced upon society by the lefties makes it more difficult for their victims to overcome the obstacles the loony left places in their path.
IMHO you’re right on the money because 10 out of every 10 crime and poverty-infested urban hellholes are in locations that have been lorded over by D-rats for multiple decades.
Then, those that can move to other locations do so. Getting away from these hellholes and looking for better opportunities. They wind up in a locality where the opportunities are at. In many instances, in localities that consistently voted Republican.
What do they do at their new locations? Why, the exact same thing that had been done for a long time at the place they had just left, vote for the Democrats.
Which IMHO corroborates my theory that liberals and liberalism are not unlike a parasitic infection or infestation, they render one location unlivable and then migrate to infest and infect other places like a parasite traveling from one unwilling host to another. Just look at what they did to California before they moved on to infest and infect Colorado, Oregon and the State of Washington!
Folks from New York and other liberal areas to the north of us, on the East Coast, have done the same thing to Virginia.
Cthulhu-
The only statement you made that is correct is that voting is a right. What you miss entirely, is that to actually vote, you must IDENTIFY yourself at the poling place. NO EXCEPTIONS. NO ONE walks in and casts a ballot without doing so. NC has tried to simplify the process by asking voters to show an ID so the poll workers don’t have to spend needless time looking through the register and filing out provisional paperwork.
I understand that you may not want to get an ID of some sort lest you be deported, but spare the rest of us, will you?
If STUPIDITY was money, Cthulu would make Bill Gates look like a Pauper!
It’s down to a science where I live.
When you register to vote, your signature is recorded on digital files. You get your voter registration card in the mail, but you don’t have to show anything, including a driver’s license or state ID. You give the vote monitors your name and address to confirm your eligibility and they look you up.
Then they run out a slip of paper, which you sign in front of them, and they compare your signature to what they have on file. If the signatures don’t match, you don’t vote.
Simple as pie, quick and easy, and very unlikely to allow fraud to occur, unlike in Chicago, Milwaukee, and other sordid metropolitan areas.
I like that.
IIRC, it was in Milwaukee back in 1994 when their local D-rat cartel was caught busing homeless people around to vote D-rat in multiple precincts, receiving packs of cigarettes and “40’s” in return, sounds to me like something straight out of the Chicago D-rat playbook!
Deported back to his homeworld? It came from Uranus!
Arrived via a fart.
This is a bit old-fashioned. Ballot farming is the new game. Lose the election but “find” lots of absentee and early ballots. Dems win with 120% turnout.
What they protest in one NC County is now mandated in CA.
California will now go from listing Left to rolling to capsized.
Not old fashioned at all. Just a new wrinkle on an old tactic.
The older version was routine in South Texas in the 1940s – when poll taxs were legal and poll tax rolls were used by the local political jefes to determine who had paid (or had paid on their behalf by the jefes) their poll tax but hadn’t actually cast a ballot. Those who hadn’t actually cast a ballot often were “found votes” for a preferred candidate when needed.
Example: Jim Hogg county, Texas democratic primary for Senate, 1948. There, in excess of 99% of all registered voters with paid poll taxes were reported as having “voted” – and they voted overwhelmingly (as in over 10:1) for LBJ.
That’s nearly as easy to believe as some of the precints in Philadelphia in 2012 where absolutely no votes were cast for the GOP presidential candidate.
BUTbutbut WAIT, didn’t whatshisface tell us that voter fraud is very rare? Just like that we shouldn’t fear commies and communism!
Yuri Bezmenov warned us about that. If you go through the complete video, you would see Cthulhu and others like him described to a “T”,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX3EZCVj2XA
Creepy Rod Serling kind of smirk.
I have read through the comments but offered none until now because all but one of you grasp this voter ID business. The one who doesn’t, Lars, is just incredible, in the literal sense. To think he was in the Army in any capacity–and an officer above butter bar to boot–just makes me cringe. As UpNorth brilliantly pointed out recently, he must come here for some sort of weird validation and get off on being justifiable ridiculed and scoffed at.
I think it’s a bot. Only thing missing is the “I earned $10,000 last month with this amazing new product” pitch and a website.
BWAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAA! Good one!
He transferred from MI to CA, 2/17 AC. That explains a lot – as in a classic case of “right place, right time, got lucky as hell even if effectively incompetent.”
CA is largely (95+% if I recall correctly) in the USAR. It’s also extremely officer-heavy. And it was very heavily utilized during the recent hostilities in Iraq and Afghanistan.
During the 2000s, with the Army’s personnel shortages officer promotions were a bit easier. But best I can tell, the CA branch was so hurting for officer personnel that having a pulse and zero significant disciplinary actions essentially guaranteed promotion to at least O4 if not O5.
The above is my perception, and “Big Army” would likely deny it. But I don’t think I’m the only one with that opinion. In fact, I seem to remember similar opinions being posted here by other commenters who were current or former Army officers – including some former CA types.
Okay, thanks, that takes some of the sting away, Hondo.
I believe there are no active duty Civil Affairs units, even though it is a branch of the Army. I turned down an
easy deal to complete the CA advanced course by correspondence because and become a CA officer; I was happy being a real soldier. CA officers are supposedly trained in how to advise third world leaders how to set up civil government after the real soldiers have captured the battle space. All the ones I met in the Reserves spent their summer camps attending seminars. It was sorta like going to a civilian convention in uniform for two weeks, from what I was told.
As PSYOP, I’ve interacted with CA. Not a single one of the CA that I had interacted with was like Lars. It would be interesting to get the perspective of those CA who served with him.
I bet they’d cuss and throw things as soon as you mentioned his name!
I wouldn’t be surprised if they verified our profile of him.
👍 2/17, thanks.
If you didn’t see it on the other thread, here’s my response to your question, 2/17, and thanks for asking.
Still taking him to therapy twice a week. He had an MRI last week, little change, the bleed he had hasn’t gotten bigger, and it’s not bleeding now. His long term memory is fine, his short term is coming back in bits and pieces.
The migraines have started, not often, just enough to remind him he’s had a head injury.
Our neighbors to the north and south of us require voter ID. Justice John Paul Stevens (liberal) event stated that voter ID laws don’t create an undue burden. But, libtards/socialists fight them every chance they get.
https://www.nationalreview.com/2015/07/voter-id-other-countries-require/
I’m in Virginia, I’ve seen many minorities at the voting precinct who had no problems showing voter identification. Nope, no discrimination there.
What they chose as “acceptable” photo ID were photo IDs required in another aspect of society. For example, the drivers license. I showed them my military ID card.
