Six months after the fact I'm still being bombarded with the never-ending liberal lunacy. This current dose emanates from the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, paragons of political correctness run amok, and purveyors of paranoia. We're told ad nauseam about the ''disenfranchisement'' of a single group of voters in Florida and elsewhere. I hear this same term used repeatedly by the self-anointed leaders of America's eternal victims, so I looked it up in the dictionary.
Disenfranchised: ''Generally too ill-educated, stupid or ignorant to perform simple tasks such as walking into a voting booth and following elementary instructions. Unable to find simple four-letter words such as 'Gore.' Cannot follow a large arrow leading to a circle where the 'franchised' among us simply punch a hole or make a mark.''
That sounded rather harsh until I later learned that great numbers of 6-and 7-year-olds were able to complete the task correctly.
Word has it that this same esteemed commission suggests one more Florida recount, this one to be conducted by the Gore family, James Carville, and the Florida Supreme Court. The tally would include, but not be limited to, those who really wish they had voted for Gore, those who really wish they could understand enough English to read and understand voting instructions so they could vote for Gore, and most important, those who didn't make the effort to vote but now wish they had and would have voted for Gore if they had.
The recount will be overseen by the Congressional Black Caucus.
