Put the mangy bitch in a cone of shame.
She will probably get a suspended sentence simply for being so stupid.
I’ve always enjoyed old Hollywood films from the ’30s and ’40s and especially the ones which captured and promoted American patriotism. As I write this, it occurs to me that all the films of that era either had a primary theme of patriotism or at least some underlying message about civic duty and being an informed citizen.
One particular film, “The Farmer’s Daughter” (Loretta Young, Joseph Cotten, Ethyl Barrymore) is centered on a first generation Swedish immigrant housekeeper whose dreams of becoming a nurse are derailed by her inside knowledge of a corrupt congressional candidate whom she eventually decides to run against for his ‘safe’ seat and in a district that has been locked down by his party for decades.
Snippets of a speech she is preparing and practicing for the stump is presented by the movie in at least a couple of shots. The thrust of her speech is that our votes are precious to us; they must be jealously guarded and cast only after we know a great deal about the candidate for whom we are voting. Further, it is not enough to know their voting record, but we should also know the substance of their character. What is the moral make-up of the person are we choosing to represent us?
Agreed, this is Hollywood of the 1940s, where all our fairy tales come true. BUT: These were block-buster films of the time and they couldn’t have been if Americans of that time didn’t like them and their messages. And, granted, “Farmer’s Daughter” is from 1947, a film of the post-WWII sentiment. However, my simple point is that we need these patriotic and civic messages now more than ever.
We’ve gone from the general sense that our votes meant something and that our lone vote connected us and contributed directly to our representational republic and that it counted, to today’s disheartening fact that too many Americans regard our sacred right to that vote as something like plastic poker chips — and even less than that.
It should burn us all deeply to read a story of any American registering their dog as a voter and then casting a ballot in the animal’s name. This woman should be punished by every fine, penalty, and jail sentence available to punish her. She should also lose her right to vote. She has demonstrated that she cannot be trusted to participate in the one thing that all Americans must jealously protect.
She needs to be made an example of.
…And that’s how you wind up with a son of a bitch as governor.
Did she also get the dog and cats signed up for Welfare, Medicaid and Food Stamps?
As long as she voted for US, she has nothing to fear.
And we are OK with her dead dog continuing to vote for us too.
It’s too late to punish her by being spayed/neutered.
Did she have any children?
My best friend received mistakenly a draft notice for his dog back in the early 70’s, we still don’t still know how or why they wanted to draft his dog or how his dog got on the draft list.
