Tandecredo.

Tom Tancredo has recently decided that it'd be good to turn to voter literacy laws again. He announced it at the recent Tea Party event, even though there was this huge movement in the sixties of sort of repressed people who weren't allowed to vote which already overturned them. But I guess we don't have to learn from our mistakes. It'd just be enough to repeat them again. Maybe they'll turn out differently? Maybe this time, with all the political correctness and what not, it'll be absolutely obvious that this isn't wrong at all.
 
I think this is disgusting. It's disgusting to see this sort of bigotry and elitism allowed in the halls of our legislative buildings, and on the podiums of our events, and applauded by hundreds of people. That's probably the thing that sickens me the most-- the applause and whooping at the end of his speech.

A literacy test completes undermines the tenets of democracy; "the people" doesn't just represents those good at test-taking or those who can write. There are plenty of intelligent people who can't write, or who may not be able test-takers. A literacy test basically tells people that if they're not smart enough, they're not a part of our country.

Then there's the fact that they'd be fundamentally racist. Extraordinarily racist. In his speech, Tancredo is obviously gearing this test towards keeping immigrants or minorities out of the vote.

Then, Tancredo blames the election of Barack Hussein (a word he spits out with so much venom it probably burned the stage beneath him, and ran straight to hell) Obama on the absence of a literacy test. What's that mean, huh Tancredo?
