John Fund and Rep. Artur Davis
Pat Caddell is not a young man. He got his start in politics at the age of 16 in the early years of the civil rights movement, and by age 21 had already witnessed a stolen election. In telling how that event alerted him to the threat that stolen elections pose to a country founded on the idea that citizens freely choose their own leaders, Caddell was by turns angry, defiant, and fearless. He spared neither political party, calling out both the “corrupt” and the “stupid” party (and he didn’t have to define either for anyone in the room to know exactly which was which). “A stolen election is a stain on America’s honor,” he said. Caddell blasted his own party for stealing elections, and called for Attorney General Eric Holder to be impeached. He ripped the rank hypocrisy of both parties. He hammered the political class for putting its own pockets and perks ahead of our country’s future. He blasted George Soros and the Think Progress crowd for using smears and innuendo to transform this country into something that it is not. Coming from anyone else Caddell’s fire might have had less power, but coming from a lifelong Democrat who worked for President Carter, it carried the night. He has been there, he has done that, and he knows what he is talking about.
The fearless Pat Caddell: “I don’t speak Democrat and I don’t speak Republican. I speak American.”
Contrary to the media’s portrayal of True The Vote, not all of the speakers were Republicans, and not all of them were white. Not all of them were male. Hollywood won’t include that in the film, either, if it ever gets made.
Great article about some great, courageous people doing a great thing. The reactionary establishment must be held accountable to the voters. And voters should be held accountable as well. Fraud will once again be the Left’s best friend. They have no choice but to cheat as much as they can.
“I simply accept the reality that racism is in the DNA of America. And when that button is pushed, the true feelings come tumbling out!” – Roland Martin Tweet – Apr.27, 2012.
That tells you all you need to know about how the Left views America in 2012 and also how they unwittingly hug close to their breasts an intellectual and philosophical view virtually indistinguishable from the Nazi Party of 1930s Germany. Doing so while ardently and even smugly claiming to be the exact opposite is even worse and it’s true, they do believe in their hearts that they champion justice and right.
The problem is, they can’t see the world they live in through their faith-based political correctness. Reality is not only irrelevant but offensive.
Note the composition of the forces arrayed for and against improved voter-verification ideas. On the “for” side, we have a pretty eclectic mix of liberals, conservatives, moderates, and simply concerned Americans. On the “against” side, we find only leftists, including some of the hardest socialists to be found in any nation. Ask any of the “against” folks why they favor sloppy nineteenth-century electoral procedures that accommodate vote fraud, and you’d better be either fleet of foot or brandishing a weapon; at the very least you’ll be covered with saliva from all the shouts of “Racist!” that will be hurled at you.
A position worthy of discussion doesn’t need a cadre of enforcers to intimidate or coerce us into acquiescence. As I’ve been saying for quite a while, when all the errors are in the bank’s favor, you can be forgiven for thinking there’s more at work than sloppy arithmetic.
You would think honoring our most sacred privledge would be in the interests of all Americans. Wrong! Those democrat socialists believe that their lofty ends justify these scum bag tactics. It is pathetic that the MSM does not call them out. In order to have a voter ID law look at the hot coals you have to walk over. Disgusting. If you are an American get off your ass and get an ID. Then you can vote. Otherwise shut the hell up.
Hollywood has no legal ability to stop distribution of product if it does not meet their sensibilities. We still have a free market system. Not everything has to come from Southern California.
This means anyone with the talent to do so needs to stop complaining and start making movies. And if they make them well and tell a good story (and they should try to do it subtly)–they should be able to make a lot of money too. You have an audience base of at least 50% of 300 million. That should bring in a few shekels….So get crackin’
That was my reaction, also. Breitbart’s “Big Hollywood” was meant to address this point. Look at Fox News. There is a market for “right thinking.” Where are our writers and producers? Rather than rant on a blog, why not write a screenplay?

You’re on Pajamas Media and you haven’t heard of Declaration Entertainment?

Making American movies; with citizen producers. Bill Whittle’s idea.

Studio Chief, What you state is true. But it leaves out significant details that would impede or outright stop such activity. Who controls the distribution of said content? If you want your movie played to the public, do you have to fund and create your own movie theaters? Or do you go the small screen route? Wait, those are controlled by your adversaries. So do you go to the internet? Pay per view? Now you are down to less than 2% of the viewing population. It has been done but no one is getting even, much less wealthy through that route.
Cracking the gates of wholesale media is not a trivial thing and will take time. The costs of production are dropping quickly with the arrival of small HD cameras and the computing power of editing software rising exponentially. I applaud your effort to prod the budding producers out there. As a studio chief I hope you are doing your best to foster their efforts.
We will have strong anti-vote fraud laws only when the Left begins losing elections because of it.
