Soup Let You Go Because You Are An Asshole, And An Idiot At That

Soup McGee shared a link.

"As the Sentencing Project noted in its 2010 analysis, there were nearly 5.85 million Americans who were restricted from voting—600,000 more than its research in 2004. That included 4 million already out in the community and completely barred from political participation. But a 2012 voter-turnout study by the George Mason University Elections Project found more than 6.8 million Americans combined who were either in prison, on probation, on parole or completely ineligible to vote because of felony convictions."

RIght now there is a stream of legislation on Capitol Hill that could open the door to restoration of the vote for millions of disenfranchised convicts and ex-cons.

Botched Resignation sure let's extort, threaten violence or otherwise buy the votes of those already in the grips of fighting to maintain their own integrity as human beings. because that is certainly possibility. who will benefit by this most? think of it. these non-violent prisoners are locked up and in the hands of their jailers as well are those that have recently been released still under the thumb of that state and it's correctional institutions. which way do you think one will be encourage to vote? look at the political bent of the communities most of these prisons are located in, especially private institutions. if you are on parole or probation, the officers of that court can violate you for the smallest infraction and you're back inside. it places prisoners, some of whom are in the direst of circumstance, in a much more dangerous position. get off your own asses and do the compassionate thing yourselves on their behalf.

Botched Resignation talk about not giving a damn about your fellow human beings. now you want to ask someone that is locked up in your jails to do something for you; and for what in return? does that matter? cause it sounds like buying votes to me...

Botched Resignation i understand this Soup and you're making sense. but let me ask you a question. are you a man? if the answer is yes, then let me assure you that inside, there is someone specific to the task of changing your mind. like a job.

Soup McGee have you ever done more than a weekend? If so, feel free to speak about 'inside.' What I witnessed while in Youth Prison was rape and torture not someone 'specific to the task of changing your mind.' Not at ll. No-one, in fact. Are you a man? If the answer is yes, consider what I have written a more deeply.

Soup McGee thinks my professor thinks I thought it through. Thinks my advisers think I've thought it through. That's why I got an A for the paper, and an in the class.You don't think the incarcerated should have a say in how tax dollars are spent? Why not? COERCION? FFS. You ever see someone get raped during your time?I did, and I don't think unless people tell that story, things like VOTING RiGHTS are possible to discuss.

Botched Resignation you let me go as a contact for an opposing opinion based on the understanding that without prison reform this liberty will never be realized even to the minimum standard. there is much more to consider first before the path of least resistance. anyone incarcerated will do almost anything to get out.

I breathe. I am your tax dollars at work.

Consider these two quotes in succession:

While the State exists, there can be no freedom. When there is freedom there will be no State.
Lenin, "State and Revolution", 1919
Russian Communist politician & revolutionary (1870 - 1924)
In a featured column on flashreport.org, Grover Norquist clarifies and defends the default conservative position, making clear that any vote to send tax increases to the ballot is a violation of the taxpayer protection pledge. Further he publicly admonishes any Republican pledge signer who has any doubt about the consequence of wavering: “There is nothing subjective about the determination that voting to refer higher taxes to the ballot is a violation of the taxpayer protection pledge. A vote for tax hikes on the ballot is clearly and indisputably a failure to ‘oppose and vote against any and all efforts to raise taxes’” (“Featured Column”).

...(...)...In Response to Kings essay on Meeting Oppression---:  King states that he favors nonviolent resistance over the other two ways of meeting oppression. Look closely at the words he uses to describe nonviolent resistance and those he uses to describe acquiescence and violence. How does his choice of words contribute to his argument? Show examples.
The weakness of giving in and submitting to an immoral authority is that you make yourself inferior by choice, and this is the choice of a “coward.” This is the nature of man craving inferiority because he is still filled with “falsehood, malice, hate [and] destruction.” All is not lost; nobility is reached in the practice of nonviolence. Because all men of good will are indeed bound together, asserts the Reverend, a conscience educated to the consequences of violence or acquiescence will turn away from the inferior position (the weakness of man is to give in or fight with force) and toward the superior position (the strength of man lies in his nonviolent reaction to oppression).

Why do you suppose King discusses acquiescence, violence, and non-violent resistance in that order?
The consequences of each failure are staggered so as to outline clearly for the reader the reality of each successive failure. As individual bitterness becomes community discontent, the oppressed must be cautious as their calls for justice escalate. When the choice is made-unbeknownst to anyone until the choice is made- it must be for nonviolence, or the line will become a circle again. That choice is both individual and community, so each of us must be aware of our nature.

...(...)... Please forgive my "Show Your Work" Style.

I am not a Socialist, a hippie looking for a hand-out, or a lazy hypocrite. I want to pay taxes so I have something to vote about. I believe my paying taxes entitles me to support those who are using their Constitutional Rights of Redress (first amendment)and demanding that America admit She is not Broken. Those who say She is need say no more! I prefer Democracy over Theonomy. I am not fighting Capitalism, only ignorance and those who hate America. I Demand A Redress as Guaranteed by the Constitution!

The richest four hundred families, jointly owning the majority of the most profitable corporations and in their sixth or seventh generation of landed gentry are depending on a Third Wave of Reformation in Christianity and a voting bloc determined to end Democracy's Evil Hold On God's Sphere of Authority (Rj Rushdoony, etc.). Having disguised themselves as American, their ultimate goal is to soon separate us from our primary rights. Through the manipulation of media backed by corporate funding, they seek to influence the government to create hysteria such that the people will Want to or find they Have replace civil law with biblical law- regardless of the fact that it violates the First Amendment- by imposing the theory of theonomy. Those one-tenth of one percent that own the 40 percent or so of America’s printed money and access to all the keys of the Kingdom ARE the Corporatocracy we are Fighting. Same fight. Not a different fight.

The problem for All groups, as the Revolting Randian Calvinist Class sees it, is government. You have the right to be your own state and gave to the government by will alone- otherwise, the gov is only a gang, and those opposed to it are a family. This is according to them, not me...so...

Grover believes gov. taxes by force, and builds coalitions-

I Pledge Allegiance To the Flag. Full Stop. Please Get Your Elected Official On The Record re: Authority...

Man Has Authority to govern Man, the Dominionist Believes Only God Has Authority- they hold the Constitution as Biblically based and allow local law to become “theonomic” ---this TREASON---this is the reason for my animus. Christianity has Become an argument against itself by supplanting the Authority of the Document We share, believer and non-believer alike. End the Pledge. End the Influence.
Tax the Church.
Get the Money out of elections.
End Corporate Personhood.
Same fight.

I hope readers are following their own trail---this is an archive (soupsauntie) designed to position stories in a way that allow MY further investigation— ‎,"No, it's a messy soup...fair enough. It's Google Search results, pasted from my Facebook Page (posted as status updates so I know where and when I read something)", and this is to allow anyone to see how I came across the info (not by biased searches but by multiple sources and key words) followed by pasted source material. This, of course, would be helpful info for the 'About' section there...:-/ :-)"
