Being Noble During a Gang Fight
Written by John (the other John).
In
2018 in the American State of Florida, a Constitutional Amendment
known as the “Voting Rights Restoration for Felons Initiative”
restored the right to vote to convicted felons. This initiative was
not only supported by the ACLU (Anti-Christian Liberals Union), but
also by the Christian Coalition of America. But more significantly,
the public voted for this with 64.55% of the vote. As such, as of
January 2019, an estimated 1.4 million felons became eligible to vote
in Florida elections. (As a side note, Florida is a Conservative
State [but evidently not too smart]).
In
the U.S., the President is not elected by a national election, but
instead it is 50 separate State elections. Since 1968, Florida
mostly voted for the Republican Presidential candidate. Also,
generally, as Florida votes so does the nation (due to Florida having
many electoral votes for the Electoral College). But with the ever
occurring population-swap, the Republican vote is decreasing. So
what effect will this Amendment allowing felons to vote have on
elections? Well, of these estimated 1.4 million felons being
eligible to vote, it is safe to say that the overwhelming majority of
them will vote Democrat. And what effect will this have? As
mentioned, due to Florida’s size, as Florida votes, so does
America.
So
if from now to eternity there will only be Democrats as US
Presidents, what political philosophy do you think future legislation
and future case law will tilt towards? Yes, anti-Christian,
anti-Capitalist liberal progressivism. So basically, these
Republican voters in the name of altruism and good Christian values
acted in a noble manner by joining Democrats in the felon-voting
initiative; unfortunately, these good Samaritans fell into the trap
of the Democrats by giving the Democrats an additional 1.4 million
voters in Florida.
This
just shows, when you show up to a gang fight acting gentlemanly and
noble whilst your enemy shows up carrying switchblades, the noble one
will lose. Unfortunately, this idiotic vote by Floridians not only
effects Florida, but it effects the entirety of the US and of Western
civilization. This is another win for the bad guys, and another loss
for the idiotic good guys.
This
reminds me of the below fable from Aesop:
The
Farmer and the Snake (by Aesop)
One
winter a farmer found a snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had
compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The
warmth quickly revived the Snake, and resuming its natural instincts,
bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh,"
cried the farmer with his last breath, "I am rightly served for
pitying a scoundrel."
The lesson: The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.
