Tin Soldiers and Nixon Coming - Voter Fraud in Ohio
I have no idea what the average age of the readers of this column is, or how many will recognize this title, taken from the lyrics of Neil Young's great protest song, Ohio.
He wrote it in condemnation of the fatal shootings of four students at Kent State University on May 4, 1970. The disjointed and fractured guitar riff, the devastating salvo of lyrics that form the title of this column, and the hauntingly repeated background vocals of "four dead in Ohio", are imprinted upon the musical DNA of an entire generation.
I thought of this song last night when I saw more sad news from Ohio. Yesterday a Federal Judge there enabled thousands of people to register and then vote on the same day, without even modest checks of identification or residency to stem what will now be a tsunami of illegal votes in next month's Presidential election. It is news that will result in many more than "four dead" voting in Ohio.
Of all the important stories that are routinely ignored by America's hopelessly biased main-stream media, election fraud is the most serious and the most damning. Regardless of where one stands on the political spectrum, we can all recognize the reality of the last ten years. It is the reality of dramatic increases in voter fraud, along with one of our two major political parties that is consistently and adamantly opposed to even the most moderate steps to ensure that pople who ARE voting SHOULD be voting.
It is a reality that will probably decide our next major election.
And it is a tragedy as great as the one Neil Young wrote about.
