George Will has things figured out.

This country HAS to have voter ID because of, well, you know … Hitler.

George Will: Have White, Will Opine

No, I am not kidding you.

Will begins by arguing that national registration will lead to mandatory voting.  He doesn’t explain how that will happen except to note that Democrats love government.  Democrats also love fried okra but that hasn’t led to mandatory okra consumption.   Well, at least outside the south.

Then he claims that people don’t vote because they are content.  Happy.  Comfortable.  He doesn’t explain how that happened in a bad economy.  Maybe that hasn’t trickled up to Will’s income level.

Next Will gives his second batcrap crazy point.

Second, the stakes of politics are agreeably low because constitutional rights and other essential elements of happiness are not menaced by elections. Those who think high voter turnout indicates civic health should note that in three German elections, 1932-33, turnout averaged more than 86 percent, reflecting the terrible stakes: The elections decided which mobs would rule the streets and who would inhabit concentration camps.

Yeah, Hitler.  You just let anybody vote and then that just encourages them and they elect Hitler.

Will doesn’t opine on whether that would be an improvement over who we did elect, but I’d be willing to bet one set of golf clubs and pleated khaki pants that he probably does.

Look, I know all white guys aren’t bad.  Hell, I married one and gave birth to three of them.  But I still think they should have to pass a reality tests before they can vote.

Interesting numbers came out in the sunshine and are taking a little walk.

Blacks voted at a higher rate this year than other minority groups and for the first time in history may also have voted at a higher rate than whites, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of census data, election day exit poll data and vote totals from selected cities and counties.

As for whites, not only has their share of the eligible electorate been falling for decades, but their turnout rate appears to have declined in 2012 for the second presidential election in row.

Now I’m here to tell you that the white boys ain’t gonna take this news easy.  They can fool themselves into thinking that blacks won’t turn out in a high rate again if a black man doesn’t top the ticket.  I have some scary words for them:  Cory Booker.  Julián Castro.  Hillary Clinton.

Blacks in America have seen their power and it is good.  I think blacks are here to stay — in the voting booth.

You know all that chatter about Hillary Clinton running for President in 2016?  The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc. is probably ground zero for those rumors.

Hillary says she’s not going to do it.  We don’t believe her.

And neither does Rick Perry.

And how do we know that?  Texas congressvarmints are demanding Hillary’s testimony on Benghazi.  Yep – it’s not about the sex Benghazi; it’s about the perjury.

Rick Perry does not want to run for President against Hillary Clinton.  However, I am willing to bet my best pair of pink boots that Hillary would not mind running against Rick.

Joan Walsh over at Salon is taking a bubble bath in Republican implosion froth.  I’m fixing to jump in with her.

Come find out, Dana Loesch is suing the Breitbart people, Dick Armey is leading an armed coup, Boehner can’t stand up to the Tea party Storm Troopers, Karl Rove is getting persnickety with Fox News, Grover Norquist is becoming a punch line, and Wayne LaPierre is … well, freekin’ goofy in public.

As Democrats, it is in our nature to help people.  Resist that. Seriously.  Just damn resist it.

Remember what Grover Norquist wanted to do to government?  That’s what needs to be done to the Republican Party.  Drown that sucker in its own river of rot.

Personally, I’m starting a rumor campaign that Mitch McConnell called John Boehner “The Chancellor of Chicken Cheetos.”

Honey, if the Republicans are in meltdown mode, I’m gonna be the first person there with a turbo hair dryer set on Ouch Hot.

One of the fun trends on Twitter is #NRAChristmasSongs.

If you don’t do Twitter, here’s the best ones.

It’s the men in dresses again, y’all.

A senior Roman Catholic will today use his Christmas sermon to liken plans for the legalisation of gay marriage to the way the Nazis and Communists tried to undermine religion.

The Bishop of Shrewsbury will launch a vociferous attack on the Coalition’s decision to fast track a vote on same-sex marriage in the New Year.

The Right Reverend Mark Davies will use his midnight Mass to say marriage can only be between a man and a woman.

Yep, the gays are exactly like the Nazis.  Except for that killing 6 million people thing, which they will get started on right after brunch.

The Bishop of Shrewsbury.   Irony is alive and well.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
