Thanks. It bears repeating: What was brought out in our discussion of literacy testing was not a proposal. It will be many generations before even reasonable requirements will be considered. The only possible reforms in the meantime will involve limiting the vote manufacturing that the Democrats were so obvious about in 2000. What is illuminated here is the liberal congenital racism, as personified by the one who took the bait: flapjack. You see, for forty years, the liberals have automatically concluded that any discussion of literacy requirements is aimed at blacks. They don't understand the issue any other way. The reasons are a) THEY are the ones who think blacks are stupid, and b)-given a)-they are sure that they can get 80% to 95% of blacks to consistently vote for liberals, thus propping up their power base. This little experiment works every time, on every liberal. Flapjack is no different from any of the others. Mention literacy requirements, and a little red voice in the back of their brain says "Someone wants to stop blacks from voting." Inevitably, the black community will regress to the ideological mean, as does any other demographic group. The pure logic of ownership of Social Security investments, schools that actually teach children, non-confiscatory marginal tax rates, and many other issues where liberals ignore their interests because of liberal racial contempt, will move the black vote to something approximating the national vote in general. The first black president is most likely to be a conservative, and will most likely be elected in our lifetimes. At that time, the liberals will find a different "feel good" attitude. But, happily, neither their attitudes nor they will any longer matter.
