Cripes…the point is that we’re still voting to force federal control over state legislation in selected voting precincts for actions that occurred before most current Americans were even alive (over 55% of Americans are under 40). If you oppose this matter then you’re labeled a racist as Oliver demonstrates.

This might be a collosal shock to you, drpedro, but theft and murder are illegal in almost every nation. Flag desecration is illegal in a select few, and not the nations that the USA should want to emulate.

This is not one of my pet issues, but I just want to go on record here and now saying that I fully support The Emancipation Proclamation.

If a vote against the Voting Rights Act equals hatred of minorities, then voting against the Flag Burning Amendment must mean you hate America.

On the contrary – the Voting Rights Act is a made-in-America original product. The Flag Burning Amendment is a foreign import from the likes of Cuba, Iran and China.

I wouldn’t mind allowing imports of Cuban cigars, but Cuban law is another thing entirely.

I guess New Mexico should have to get special permission from the federal government, as well, since it made up half of the "Arizona" Confederacy. Oh, and we should look into California.

The [Arizona Territory of the Confederate States of America] overlapped but was not identical to the Arizona Territory created by the United States in 1863. The Confederate territory was the scene of important battles in the western campaign of the American Civil War, primarily because it offered Confederate access to southern California, which then had a large pro-Confederate population.

I hate California racists.

“By passing this rewrite of the Voting Rights Act, Congress is declaring from on high that states with voting problems 40 years ago can simply never be forgiven, said Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., one of several lawmakers pressing for changes to the law to ease its requirements on Southern states.

I sincerely hope the U.S. Senate corrects these problems so when the bill returns to the House for final passage I can vote for it, said Rep. John Shadegg, R-Ariz., whose state is one of those under federal scrutiny

Arizona? Was that a Confederate state? I forget&
