So I should have three votes, my own and two cat proxies. The cat lady down the street, who is reputed to have nine cats, should be allowed ten votes. After all, cats and dogs and children and illegal aliens and felons have an interest in clean air and clean water and other things affected by political arrangements. So why shouldn&#39;t they have a vote?&#0160;&#0160;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 11pt;\">If I have to explain to you why, then you are too obtuse, morally or intellectually or both, to profit from any explanation. Do you remember that race-hustler Jesse Jackson? He wanted felons to have the vote. He wanted people who lack the sense to order their own lives to have a say in how a society, or rather <em>our lives<\/em>, should be ordered. But of course the destructive leftist is not interested in <em>right<\/em> ordering, but in any ordering that grants him and his ilk maximum power. So it is no surprise that leftists never miss an opportunity to assault our Constitutional rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 11pt;\"> <a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/maverickphilosopher.typepad.com\/.a\/6a010535ce1cf6970c01b7c95244a7970b-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Stooges\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a010535ce1cf6970c01b7c95244a7970b img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/maverickphilosopher.typepad.com\/.a\/6a010535ce1cf6970c01b7c95244a7970b-500wi\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Stooges\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/maverickphilosopher.typepad.com\/.a\/6a010535ce1cf6970c01b7c95244c1970b-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Stooges\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a010535ce1cf6970c01b7c95244c1970b img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/maverickphilosopher.typepad.com\/.a\/6a010535ce1cf6970c01b7c95244c1970b-500wi\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Stooges\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 11pt;\">Vile, mendacious, and stupid.
