The comment you replied to was the one Rand fan said ...

"Controversial to say this but it's true. Watch liberals go nuts."

So I assume you disagree with the statement of fact that ...

"When our republic was formed voting was not a right. There is no "right to vote" in the Bill of Rights. Voting was a privilege restricted by age, poll taxes, literacy tests, property ownership, etc. The goal was an informed and responsible electorate, not maximum participation."

YOU said that would be opening a can of worms ...


Our founders had it right.

Only responsible stakeholders SHOULD be able to vote.

Women were kept by men, children were dumb, blacks were slaves, etc.

Maybe it's a can that should be opened

When I wrote that this was opening a can of worms, I meant that there would be some discussion on this matter.

And here you are discussing away.

You’re one of the most discussing people I’ve ever come across on Free Republic.

I’d like to have more discussion with you on worms and cans and such, but I have to go and wash out some socks.

It’s an exciting life I lead.
