“Moral turpitude” and felony have never been exactly synonymous. And in fact, Alabama recently changed laws regarding many categories of conviction that now allows for those individuals to retain their voting rights. It is also an unfortunate fact that Alabama has the highest incarceration rate in the world and while it isn’t nice to say, black people are three times more likely to be convicted of a crime in this state.

A quick review of “moral turpitude” leaves one wondering how it ever got into the legal annals to begin with, since it is virtually never defined in a consistent manner and is always subjective depending on the context. Well, it seems to me that if we have a “community” it can and should deal in absolutes and the subjectivity of determining “moral turpitude” ought to be done away with completely.

To the extend that voting rights are denied, it seems more like a determination with a perspective based on voting as a privilege rather than a right. Nowadays, largely based on new DNA technology, hundreds even thousands, of convictions are being overturned and men are being release from incarceration because of faulty evidence and the reality that someone told an outright lie. It doesn’t make sense, unless a crime indicates some sort of very, very egregious intent – why further disenfranchise people when they could be encouraged to be responsible participating members of the community instead? And really, don’t all people have the right to representation, which is what voting is about to being with.

Alabama has made the right decision by sharply curtailing the categories of crime that disqualify voting rights. Roy Moore has aptly illustrated the reality that the highly subjective so-called “moral turpitude” is in fact a vestige of segregationism. Roy Moore’s attempt to denigrate the Jones campaign for registering legal voters is reprehensible, and yet another act of contempt – by the hanging judge.

Stop and frisk is brazenly unconstitutional. It is intended to abridge the second amendment. Arbitrary “no fly lists” are brazenly unconstitutional.

Limiting guns is a cop out that ignores the reality that most violent crime is rooted in economics.

The fact is, Chicago, and other cities are largely impoverished. Each of the aristocratic candidates has ulterior motives for ignoring the real answers.

It’s about the constitution stupid.

Stupid Trump. He started off
looking too liberal to even be a
republican, then he started with
his ambiguous double talk as he
wooed moderate conservatives,
then he swept across the middle
ground ever careful to make sure
his growing fascism left room for
equal opportunity sensible insult
compromise. Next thing you
know he came around the around
the corner of common sense then
squarely combed it over to his
version of politically correct
profiling. Now all of a sudden
Trump is looking like the
definitive aristocratic TEA Party
zealot.

What is Brexit? I’m not sure either, but I don’t think populism and aristocratic dictatorship exactly square.

You can’t beat Trump. But, Trump can improve. He said this morning that he wants to end poverty and that people live in poverty because they need a job. That’s only partly true.

The truth is, many people live in poverty that have a full time job. The democrats want to redistribute wealth with a higher minimum wage. While the first step in eliminating poverty is cutting the pie more evenly, raising minimum wage is a short term fix because it touches off inflation.

So, to eliminate poverty, not only do you have to create enough jobs to go around, but all jobs must pay a living wage, whether it’s a big college educated job or not. You must grow the pie to make each piece big enough.

In short, getting control of the world economy, and raising the overall employment standards and working conditions, begins with ending the illegal labor coming across the southern border, which could be compared with the illegal Asian sweat shops that exploit their people and even employ children paying only slave wages.

Setting a world standard for a living wage and workplace standards must begin with the retooling of American manufacturing, and by ending the illegal employment practices that disease the entire system.

The United States must recommit to the highest employment and wage standards so that the rest of the world will have a beacon to follow.

Little wonder the liberal media and corrupt judiciary are panicking. I certainly don’t approve of censorship, which some have suggested Mr. Trump will attempt. However, if the media were to try reporting the news more honestly instead of using it’s self-imposed censorship by liberal bias model, we might not be in this mess.

Aside from that, I don’t really see how constitutional justice could be anymore under threat than it already is by the ‘democrat’ party of Hillary.

Let’s review:

1) Hillary’s people become violent when orderly freedom of speech and majority rule doesn’t suit them.

2) Barack Obama practically invented the judiciary by executive order.

3) Hillary’s people are reknown for making up their own rules calling their imposition of their version of politically correct an (imaginary) ‘living’ constitution.

I don’t know if Trump will be all that bad. I already know Hillary already is.

Donald Trump has not uttered one racist word during his campaign, and yet black people are attacking rallies as though he were David Duke. He isn’t

In the mean time, Ben Carson, who is an extremely violent sociopathic neo-nazi who overtly endorses bloody and violent methods of ethnic cleansing and holocaust, offers his endorsement to Trump with hardly a notice by anyone.Why is it that there is no out-cry against the endorsement by this barbaric cult member/

No doubt, Ben Carson is the penultimate Uncle Tom who would probably be more comfortable at a KKK meeting than on state in a Republican Debate with Trump.

But then, black people aren’t really going out of their way to show themselves as thoughtful intelligent voters either. They continue to endorse illegal immigration, for example, even though that is clearly one undercut that results in an unemployment rate twice as high for black men as the national average. I can’t think of anything more racist and more hateful than supporting illegal immigration.

I recently noticed one New York Times columnist who said the media should stop condescending to black voters like they are kids. But when I see black people who fought so hard for civil rights continuing to embrace their own brand of fascism, and when they inflict discriminatory paper-bag tests on their own kind, and when the opt for plantation style socialism, even when it results in injuring their own – you do have to wonder if they understand what is in their own best interest. Maybe it’s just the histrionic remnants of the 1960’s being manifested like the anger blind tantrum of a five year old. I don’t know.

I do know this. Hate, neo-nazism, fascism, ethnic cleansing, holocaust – don’t become something different just because they are soft-spoken or cleverly worded by Uncle Tom in black-face. I said once before, we are one nation, and maybe if some black folks would spend a little more time being objective about what really is in everyone’s best interest, instead of inflicting a paper-bag test on themselves in the voting booth, it might go a long way to extending the benefits of economic recovery more quickly to everyone.

I also know this. The public dialogue has been too muted when it comes to race, and therefore many issues are not being addressed. I would call on black leadership to reevaluate their lack of guidance and objectivity. Maybe taking the gloves off, and engaging in constructive criticism of black people would result in fewer boxing matches.

Am I being racist? No. I have a lot of criticism for white folks too. But, I am a new generation and I don’t have to, and I’m not going to, swallow a lot of shit from a time when I wasn’t there, and certainly had no control over. As the song says, “nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong.”
