Disenfranchise THIS!

Every election year, there are buzz words. One of the ones Democrats just love to use this year is "disenfranchise". What does it mean, exactly?

\Dis`en*fran"chise\, v. t. To disfranchise; to deprive of the rights of a citizen.

Let me tell you, folks. Just because you didn't double-check your ballot to make sure you didn't punch the wrong holes doesn't mean your rights as a US citizen were taken away. It just means you're an idiot. Don't blame the government or anybody else for "disenfranchising" you when the blame rests fully on your shoulders.

And let's clarify the difference between "rights" and a "privilege". As a US citizen, you have rights. Within those rights is the privilege to vote. Privileges aren't granted to everyone. And there are certain rules which protect those that do vote. You may not cast more than one vote. Because the last thing you want to do is disenfranchise the educated, legally voting member of society by letting someone who doesn't have that right to cast a vote or have a single individual voting more than once. That, my friends, is disenfranchising the voter. The problem the media and some democrats fail to see is that the issue here is one citizen, one vote. No bloody immigrants, no bloody felons, no bloody voting at any other precinct other than the one you're supposed to go to. If millions of poorly-educated Afghans who have never voted before line up in droves, understand and cast their ballots, then so can you.

This is saying nothing of some of the more retarded voting campaigns out there. P. Diddy's inane "Vote or Die" campaign is laughable, but dire in its consequences. It promotes the idea of an irresponsible voter.

So, here's the kicker, folks. Because of these campaigns by idiotic groups,

I am being disenfranchised by irresponsible voters.

Think that's a crazy statement? Perhaps. But if people are going to use the term "disenfranchised" as liberally as they do today, I think I have a certain entitlement, hmm?
