As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The Recovering Statist,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“If you vote, you cannot complain. You wanted a master and you got one.”
My Commentary: Vote harder, suckers! Your masters are counting on it!
The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “NY Assemblywoman Introduces Tyrannical Legislation to Enforce Mandatory Voting Through Use of Penalty Fee“…
Democratic Assemblywoman and tyrant, Deborah Glick
Rayn: Manufacturing the “consent of the governed” through penalty fees… Seems legit…

Steve K.: If true, it would be unconstitutional, violates the 1st amendment for one thing. Not voting is one way of protesting.
Rayn: Indeed! Penalizing those New Yorkers who choose to Vacate The Vote in an effort to Withdraw Consent is not only an assault against free speech, and freedom of choice – it also represents a shameless effort to run an extortion racket, too! These political parasites are nothing more than a legally-protected criminal caste!

(Glenn Blain) A state lawmaker from Manhattan wants to make it costly for New Yorkers not to vote.
Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, a Democrat, introduced legislation this week that would establish “compulsory voting” in the state and punish those who don’t vote with a $10 fine.
“Mandatory voting would drastically increase civic participation and transform the political arena by making politicians more reflective of the constituents that elected them,” Glick wrote in a memo submitted with the bill.

As I scrolled through my Facebook memories, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Skeptic Society,” which I originally posted to my wall in February of 2016, and decidedly re-shared it, while adding a commentary…
“That face you make when you wanted police accountability but voted for more government”
My Commentary: But… Muh Democracy! 😥

Swan Song from a “Reluctant” Hawk:

(Gene Healy) President Obama will deliver his Farewell Address tonight to a capacity crowd in Chicago’s McCormick Place convention center. It’s the right venue for the speech, the president explained last week, because Chicago is “where my career in public service began.”
Indeed, it’s the city where, as a young state senator in 2002, Obama gave an antiwar rally speech railing against the “dumb,” “rash” rush to war in Iraq; and where, as a presidential candidate five years later, he promised to “turn the page on the imperial presidency” and usher in “a new dawn of peace.” And yet, 2008’s “peace candidate” will leave office as the first two-term president in American history to have been at war every day of his presidency, having dropped over 25,000 bombs on seven countries in 2016 alone.
My Commentary: Or, as his supporters say, “no scandals for eight years.” Pffttt! You can’t make this stuff up!
Perhaps, the war hawk should be awarded another Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts?
Oh, and Obama also prosecuted more whistle-blowers than all previous presidents, combined. Or, as he would call it, “the most transparent administration in history.”
Statists gonna State! Try voting harder, next time, voting cattle! That’ll *really* show the government who’s in charge!
