The real problem with America is we let stupid people vote. It wasn’t that way originally for very good reason. We changed that and are now learning what that reason was. Stupid people will always vote themselves “bread and circuses” to the detriment, and ultimate destruction, of the Republic.

Agreed, plus those on welfare should not vote either. I can make exceptions for Social Security, since that is forced on us when we get old and/or if your infirm where you can work but you must still pass the intelligence test. I would have have a test that would have basic math, reading comprehension and basic American history that you must pass before you can vote. As to welfare, as the saying goes, "those who rob Peter to pay Paul will always count on the vote of Paul."

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” — Author Unknown

Nobody should be able to vote except for either property owners, or tax payers. I don’t care which system you use, but either way, if you are collecting from the government, if you are putting nothing in, then you don’t vote. Period.

I would love to see us go back to only property owners can vote.

And women get furious at me for pointing out the fact that, since women’s suffrage, women have been majority Democratic Party voters in almost every state and federal election.

The fact is, if women had never gotten the vote, the Democratic Party would never have wielded the power they did.

This fact infuriates conservative women, but it is an indisputable fact.
