So according to this guy, active duty military shouldn’t be able to vote because we receive a government paycheck. Ok, sure.

There is a far cry between a government employee, and as he terms: a parasite.
He didn't mention paid officials, did he?

The logic behind that is not entirely unsound, and I say that as a former Army grunt. I knew guys that would vote for whomever promised the greatest increase in military benefits. Usually, that was the Republican. Either way, that illustrates the problem with having one's pay tied to who one votes for. Quite frankly, I think military benefits are too generous. Anyone who suffers through combat should be taken care of, but there are far too many desk jockey's going along to get along to retirement, and whose priority is only their own benefit, not service to the country. That's how we end up with political jackasses in our officer corps who go along with gays and trannies in the military and women in the Rangers.

And he says senior citizens should be disqualified because they dare take the Social Security they paid into.
I enjoy his writing, but he does have a tendency to run off the rails in places.
