Since I've been talking to many of my neighbors I've been hearing a lot of blacks and other minorities talking about the Democratic Party like this. It warms my heart to see so many blacks coming out from under the box the Democratic Party put them into. If we start to see more and more blacks blaming the Democratic Party and their principals for what they have done to them, we will see the Democratic Parties true colors. They will treat those blacks like sub-humans in order to get them back in the box. It will be ugly but those actions will open more and more blacks to the plight that the Progressives put them in. Conservatives and the Republican Party will be there with open arms and a conservative platform to stand on. For one in their life they will be treated as individuals instead of as a color. God bless this man for speaking what was on his mind.

George Soros Wants More Americans High On Pot. I Wonder Why?
By George Soros
Our marijuana laws are clearly doing more harm than good. The criminalization of marijuana did not prevent marijuana from becoming the most widely used illegal substance in the United States and many other countries. But it did result in extensive costs and negative consequences.
Law enforcement agencies today spend many billions of taxpayer dollars annually trying to enforce this unenforceable prohibition. The roughly 750,000 arrests they make each year for possession of small amounts of marijuana represent more than 40% of all drug arrests.
Regulating and taxing marijuana would simultaneously save taxpayers billions of dollars in enforcement and incarceration costs, while providing many billions of dollars in revenue annually. It also would reduce the crime, violence and corruption associated with drug markets, and the violations of civil liberties and human rights that occur when large numbers of otherwise law-abiding citizens are subject to arrest. Police could focus on serious crime instead. Now normally I'm not for the legalization of marijuana for use other then medical. But Soros might be on to something here. If we legalize pot not only would we save a butt load of money but we would disarm the liberals of their violent ways. I don't think conservatives or moderates will be picking up pot any time soon for the most part. But the liberals will need some of this lethargic medicine after the beat down we give them over the next few years or so. But on a serious note I don't think legalized pot is a federal issue as much as state rights. The states all need to vote on these issues. If California wants to legalize it let them. I would suggest that we see what becomes of the state of California after it legalizes it and then judge. Legalizing pot is not something that should be taken easily. And the question still begs to be answered, why does one of the most influential men in the world care about legalizing marijuana? Soros doesn't do anything unless he has something to gain from it. What does George Soros have to gain by legalizing marijuana?

Democrats Already Cheating On Election
Some voters in Boulder City complained on Monday that their ballot had been cast before they went to the polls, raising questions about Clark County's electronic voting machines.
Voter Joyce Ferrara said when they went to vote for Republican Sharron Angle, her Democratic opponent, Sen. Harry Reid's name was already checked.
Ferrara said she wasn't alone in her voting experience. She said her husband and several others voting at the same time all had the same thing happen.
"Something's not right," Ferrara said. "One person that's a fluke. Two, that's strange. But several within a five minute period of time -- that's wrong."
Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said there is no voter fraud, although the issues do come up because the touch-screens are sensitive. For that reason, a person may not want to have their fingers linger too long on the screen after they make a selection at any time.
This is from Fox News. This is why we need more conservatives at the polls to watch out for this kind of thing. The Democrats seem to always have a nack for this kind of thing. From what I take from this is all the Democratic voters don't need to go and vote because it's already been done for them.
