Hey Mitch,

I apologize for our senior senator. While I am here I'll apologize for them both. In April I will have been in the US for 38 years and my green card is looking a little shabby. I have felt no urge to become a citizen: but the prospect of voting for another senator from KY might push me over the edge.

I know an African who votes in US elections.

He was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia.

I'm less concerned about African-Americans at the ballot box than I am about red-hatted Asshole-Americans in positions of power and authority doing all they possibly can to restrict their access to them.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

A lot of half Africans vote. African-American is half African and half American, a person of divided loyalties. And he is right; no one is denied the right to vote. Anyone who is too worthless to get off their ass and register and get an ID shouldn’t vote. And the political parties can provide help to those few people that need it.
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

I guess this means, since I am of combined German and American heritage and not ashamed to admit it, that I must also have divided loyalties.  But who to be loyal to?  Kaiser Wilhelm, Herr Schicklgruber, or Frank-Walter Steinmeier and the Bundestag?

Tell me, liberty, how in the hell did such a massive amount of fucked-up thinking come out of that small mind of yours?

Not to mention how someone can have a "loyalty" to a continent.

liberty you are such a fascist fuck.

You clearly have no concept of what it is like to live in poverty, to have minimal access to transportation, nevermind living on a shoestring without the extra cash in hand to pay the fees associated with getting a state issued photo ID, which isn’t just the fee for the ID but often fees associated with obtaining a certified copy of birth certificate, etc.

And stop being a fucking fascist.

Fascists and the patriarchy, are we playing cliché bingo this week?

Gob I can't believe you haven't noticed. Facsism and Totalitarianism are the new growth stocks, frequently in partnership,on the international scene.

I hope you have a few guineas buried in the garden.
