“Days of Shame”

titelt ein Kolumnist

in der NYT. Ein Auszug daraus lautet:

Also mind-boggling is the attempt by Republican Party elements to return the U.S. to the wretched days of the mid-20th century when many black Americans faced harassment, intimidation and worse for daring to exercise their fundamental right to vote. A flier circulating extensively in black neighborhoods in Wisconsin carries the heading “Milwaukee Black Voters League.” It asserts that people are not eligible to vote if they have voted in any previous election this year; if they have ever been found guilty of anything, even a traffic violation; or if anyone in their family has ever been found guilty of anything.

“If you violate any of these laws,” the flier says, “you can get ten years in prison and your children will get taken away from you.”

Auch wenn ich ungerecht und voreingenommen bin: Diese eine Hälfte der amerikanischen Bevölkerung, die Fratzen wie Bush und diese anderen Hackfressen als Repräsentanten wollen, sind für mich nicht besser als diejenigen, die bei uns die neuen parlamentarischen Vertreter wie Frey und Voigt bewundern.
