Voter suppression by the freedom lovers

Just because one yells louder than another, that doesn't make their statement any more valid. More times than not, it seems as if Republican leaders and Republicans in general like to yell that they love their American freedoms more than Democratic leaders and Democrats do. Yet, for as much as they love to clamor that they love freedom, Republican leaders have done everything in their power to suppress voting in this country. Why? It's simple - there are more registered Democrats than Republicans in this country and the people whose votes they're trying to suppress the most - minorities - historically vote for Democratic candidates and by extremely large margins. The fewer people that vote - minorities in particular - the better chance Republicans have of winning elections. It really amazes me that the same party who can't seem to talk enough about their love for freedom in this country - with regard to guns and religion in particular - has done all they possibly can to strip away voters' rights. Whenever I think about the Republican Party's voter-suppression efforts, the following scenario plays out in my mind:

Setting: Voting center

::A mother walks in with a baby in her arms - that baby holding a handgun::

Republican security guard: "That's a nice looking weapon. My wife's due in a few days. The first thing we're going to do is get our kid a gun too."

The mother: "We're all about the 2nd amendment! Yee-haw!"

Republican security guard: "Amen to that! Keep on shootin'!"

::a group of people walk in, holding Bibles and speaking in tongues::

Republican security guard: "I couldn't have said it better myself! Speak up loud and clear! Protect our religious freedom!"

Group: ::continues to speak in tongues::

Republican security guard: "I'm not sure what you said, but I'm sure I agree with it. Amen once again! Go on in."

::black person in a suit and tie starts to walk in::

Republican security guard: "Hold up a minute here. Everyone else go to the other line. I have a feeling I'll need a few minutes with this one."

::Republican security guard sits the black person in a suit and tie down::

Republican security guard: "I'm going to need to see your driver's license and birth certificate. I'll also need to take some blood and will need a urine sample. My people will do a criminal background check as well. Are there any questions?"

Black person in a suit and tie: "Why didn't you stop the baby with a gun?"

Republican security guard: "Good. Since there are no questions, please follow my assistant to the next room, where you can get some blood drawn and provide us a urine sample while we do some research on your criminal history."

::shots are fired::

Republican security guard: "Arrest him!" ::points to the unarmed black person in a suit and tie:: "Now, where's that baby with the gun? I need to ask where he got that thing."
