Florida Bill, Requiring Initiatives to Pass with 66.67% of Vote, Advances

On April 19, the Florida House State Affairs Committee passed HJR 129, which would change the vote needed to pass a statewide initiative from 60% to 66.67%. The only statewide initiatives that exist in Florida are constitutional amendments. There is no procedure for an initiative to merely change a statute.

All Republicans on the committee voted in favor of the bill, and all Democrats voted against it.

  1. ALL 50 STATES HAVE ANTI-DEMOCRACY MINORITY RULE GERRYMANDER SYSTEMS FOR ELECTING ALL STATE LEGIS.

    WHICH ARE MORE FULL OF ANTI-DEMOCRACY TYRANTS –

    COMMIE DONKEYS OR FASCIST ELEPHANTS ???

  2. Donkeys are closer to both fascist and communist, as you already know. Please stop spreading the deliberate communist big lie that fascism is right wing. It is not, and never was. As for democracy, it is itself communist tyranny. What could be more tyrannical than two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner?

  3. HOW MANY DEAD/ENSLAVED DUE TO MINORITY RULE MONARCHS/OLIGARCHS IN LAST 6,000 PLUS YEARS OF SOME WRITTEN HISTORY ???

    TOO MANY POLISCI HISTORY MORONS TO COUNT ???

  4. The signature requirement in Florida is already really difficult, and they already require 60% of the vote, so this strikes me as overkill.

  5. ONE WOLF – MANY SHEEP

    WHAT’S FOR DINNER ???

    WHAT IF THE SHEEP HAVE 2 AMDT GUNS FOR SELF DEFENSE ???

  6. Your historical ignorance aside,the democratic majority aren’t the sheep, although you might be forgiven in thinking they are given how they march to their own slaughter. But their propensity for voting themselves what the exceptionally successful ones among them produce makes them predators of a sort. Perhaps the better analogy is neither wolves not sheep, but cannibalistic crabs in a cooking pot.

    For someone who calls other historical morons, you show remarkable ignorance of what your own country’s founding fathers had to say about democracy. You might also avail yourself of the wisdom of Machiavelli and Sun Tzu to understand how these things work, or not, and why or why not. You might then take on some advanced reading such as Professor Hoppe’s seminal “Democracy: the God that failed,” but in your case you might be better off with a bit of Dale Carnegie for starters.

    Bolshevik means majoritarian in my native language. You might wish to read about our beleaguered history, starting with Solzhenitsyn and the Black Book of Communism. That is, you might wish to read these things if you actually read books.

    Your second amendment is only going to help you if you have a population grounded in the classics of Christian and European civilization and of sufficiently undiluted European blood to understand them. What you have instead is several successive generations weaned on the ever expanding welfare state, cultural bolshevism, deliberate dumbing down, ziocommunist stranglehold on the organs of miseducation and propaganda/persuasion, and much other social pathology that leaves a great deal of doubt that your country is capable of producing another generation that would renew the dying tree of liberty with the blood of patriots and tyrants. To see what is far more likely your fate, read Camp of the Saints and Dr. Duke’s “My Awakening.”

    If you actually knew anything of history, you would know that the brief history of “enlightened” democracy and majoritarian socialism have been far bloodier and more tyrannical than even the blood stained millennia that preceded it. Far from everything that’s touted as progress is actually change for the better. What’s for dinner? You are, if you don’t start learning where you are and how you got there. Welcome to the jungle!

  7. Max, you’re too long winded for me. I like a guy who gets to the point fast so I can get back to getting nails done, watching soaps etc. Are you saying that arming our dumbed down, populationally mixed, sexually confused young sheep would be about as effective as, well, arming actual sheep at this point?

  8. I support the right to arm bears. Not sure yet about keeping them though. Sounds messy. Maybe worth the hassle, maybe not.

  9. They’re not all the same, so arming some of them still makes sense. I suppose one way of boiling that down for the busy executrix: 1. Reading is fundamental 2. Democracy = cccp (cannibal crabs in cooking pot) 3. The whole arming sheep thing 4. Some specific reading recommendations you wouldn’t have time for 5. Those who don’t learn history are liable to get eaten in the jungle.

  10. I meant young Merkins. I don’t know about arming bears, as I’ve never armed any (except fellow Russian bears), or even seen it attempted. As for keeping bears, good luck with that. Either kind.

  11. I’m gifted
    I read Sun Tzu
    I bought lots of guns too
    So you’ll never come to

    The weight of the Word
    Is on my shoulders
    Cuz I’m a Klan Soldier
    I thought I told you

  12. I remember that movie

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_Night_(film)

    It was actually not bad. Helmet and House of Pain and the others on that soundtrack are pretty good too. As for the KKK, the best thing y’all can do with your guns is shoot each other and yourselves. Luckily most of y’all are way too meth addled and frequently incarcerated to actually vote. Not that Trump needs your votes that badly in Florida or Alabama, but Georgia may be another matter. Regretting past life decisions? Too bad you don’t have a time machine.

  13. Voting is a tactic of the past. White revolution is the only solution. Red revolution can go to bed; good night left side. Enough said.

    Voting? Most likely too late. Victory through WAR and 1488!

  14. I agree. I hate a whole lot of groups of people. I especially hate myself and those who raised me to hate, but thinking about that causes cognitive dissonance, whatever that’s supposed to mean. I’m kind of a lifelong loser reject, but that’s supposed to be secret. Don’t tell anyone.

    I’m going to go pretend like I have a life on FB while I oil and load my guns and think about making hate inside my own mind like my ultimate hero and leader, the Austrian corporal. I also really like Putin and Lukashenko these days. And of course TRUMP. I’m not really sure why I’m even still at a third party website anymore since I’ve become the new mainstream of the GOP. I do like the direction the LP has taken in the past year though, so maybe I’ll keep my options open just in case the GOP goes rino again and we need another excellent third party candidate like George Wallace, Pat Buchanan, Ron Paul, Bob Barr, or Virgil Goode.

  15. There’s a great deal of history so few if you know…

    Y’all so ignorant!

  16. Fake Noose, isn’t that what the one guy hoaxed the fake news media about with NASCAR? I love NASCAR, except for that whiny dude.

    I’m not sure what point your non-link makes. Is it that high melanin individuals sometimes run for president? Or that most of them are commies and hate America? I don’t get it. Explain more?
