Before voter registation cards are issued, there should be a test that demonstrates that the applicant understands the basics of goverment. People who apply for citizenship are required to know more than most voters who are born here.
Unlike here, the Israeli youth have lived the fight for the survival of their country. This country is full of spoiled miscreants who have no appreciation of their freedoms. Unfortunately, they vote Democrat.
There is a military draft in Israel. All youth serve. There is thus not the irrational paranoia of war that unsettles American youth. They can contemplate war and understand that readiness for war is the surest preventative of war. America lost the VN War on the home front because there were deferments and exceptions. Service was feared because there were so many who did not have to and the exceptions makes it all “unfair” not just because some have to go and some do not but because there are avenues of escape and everyone can hope for that escape.
When Iranian Nukes take out a couple of American cities the dumbed down youth and the Gruber voters will get a up close and personal lesson on the real world dangers of electing idiots to run the country!
At least it will be the Port of New York and the Port of Los Angeles...
They'll be busy trying to take selfies, in front of the mushroom cloud.
Or trying to make the next Worldstar vid clip.
...says it all!
AMEN!!!
There was one show on the Military Channel about the top ten tanks IIRC, and they showed the Israeli Merkava tank with one of their female tankers explaining the features of the tank, and I was like OMG! She could have been a model on the cover of SI based on her looks.
Me too! I stand with Israel!
Ain’t gonna happen. Any and all qualifications for voting are not only racist, but unfortunately, Unconstitutional. But why stop there, the Republicans won an overwhelmingly victory in 2014, but that only resulted in the Democrats gaining strength. The power does reside in the hands of the people. The people care about something called a Kardashian, the iWatch and the NCAA basketball playoffs. Nothing else. I grieve for the tiny minority of Americans who read this post. America as you knew it and wish it to be is dead. What, if anything, that will take its place is the subject of science fiction novels. Life today is Hell and nobody even notices. Strange.
I hope the next generation of voters (the home schoolers) will vote conservative and I think you’ll see a change soon...
Me too ... Ted Cruz, or Scott Walker...
For crying out loud! The people voted out Democrats almost everywhere last year. Short of violent revolt what more could they do? It’s the GOP that has not done its job.
Today’s public school students are not the people who will be the leaders of tomorrow. They be the leaders of the unemployed.
There aren’t enough of them, and too many are complete isolationists. It’s a little hard to engage the populace when you are never exposed to them. And, before you all break out the cross for my crucifixion, I have been homeschooling for over 25 years.
For a significant majority, it’s not “in this world, but not of this world,” but “out of this world (and in my own little safe one.)”
