Speaking of loads, you seem willing to allow those with no stake in the nation to gleefully vote you out of existence because you support them with your taxes and they will vote to insure you continue to support them with your taxes while they enjoy the free ride.

Well, if it is a load, it belongs to you since I stated nor implied any such thing.

PS, there is no constitutional right to vote in a presidential election.

Did you just now read the constitution? Of course there isn't. We vote for electors and they vote for presidents. Nonetheless you deem it proper to rob a citizen of his most important right. The right to vote. A citizen has a right to vote period. He does not have a right to expect me to support him. That is a distinction that should be readily apparent. We have a Constitution which states "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." somehow our leaders choose to interpret private property in their own way such that they believe redistribution of wealth escapes this clause.

Among other things, I would take issue with this, “The right to vote. A citizen has a right to vote period”. In the strict sense of the word right, based on natural law, voting is about as far from a right as lets say Abortion.

You see stuck on something that did not appear in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights, but only later, long after, someone decided that legislated rights needed to be added to the ones deemed originally important by the founding fathers. Voting was not one of them and that is sufficient for me.

Frankly, all of the amendments after number 10 have done nothing but muddy the water and given the Supreme court added ammunition against the people. JMHO expressed long before this.
