Reich Wings way back to power? Poll taxes and literacy test.
Or a better title might be "They've hit rock bottom...and commenced to dig"

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2247112/posts

Here's just a snipet:

"Unfortunately we have lost what our Founding Fathers created. The Founders created a LIMITED GOVERNMENT REPUBLIC. Today we have an unlimited government democracy, which if historical trends prevail, will lead us to socialism as it is practiced in most of Europe today.

When the republic was established, only property owning males who could read and write were permitted to vote in federal elections. The republic was set up to protect the interests of property owners, taxpayers, businessmen, and gun owners (Second Amendment). It was not designed to give the property-less urban proletariat the right to ride roughshod over the rest of us.

Unfortunately, the public education establishment in this country has been taken by radical neo-Stalinist social engineers who do not teach the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, or the Declaration of Independence. Instead students are taught all about Martin Luther King and Cesar Chavez. Condoms are distributed, and the Bible, prayer, or any mention of God are strictly prohibited. Instead of reading the writings and documents put forward by our Founding Fathers, students read books like Heather Has Two Mommies and Daddy's Roomate."

2. I wonder how the trailer-park Freepers are going to like this...
They're not landowners, so they can't vote?

3. And a BASTARD on that site has the GALL to claim voting is a PRIVILEGE
It's a right, you Freeper asshole!

To: DonaldC
“Elections are being swung too much by folks that don’t have a pot to pee in.”

####

Actually, it goes beyond that even. They are a net debtor to the government.

Get on the debit side of the ledger before you receive the PRIVILEGE of voting. Just because you take up space, should not mean that you get the right to shape the future of the country.

13. Yes, saw it. See how much you mean to us all?
Looks like you are very missed.
Maybe when you get a chance, you can share some travel highlights, and....an ETA.
But where ever you are, those around you are lucky.
Be well, be safe.
We will leave a light on.

5. What about the serfs?
Do they all think they are the landed gentry? Institute that policy and those idiots would be serfs right along with most everyone else.

7. "Property owning males who could read and write..." Oh, oh...
Fewer and fewer Republicans voting now - and these guys aren't helping their own cause. They could lose a few percentage points on spelling alone...
Now if they had a SANITY TEST...

8. If they want to go back to the 1700's so much, let them get the hell off the airwaves
and computers and tv/radio.
Let them print up hand press broadsides and wear 3 cornered hats.
Let them be called Tories.

Screw it...let them go back to England...roll that timeline alllllllll the way back.

9. A literacy test mightn't be such a bad idea for some
of the wingnuts in this country.
