Women's Right to Vote, the Beginning of the End for America?

From the day the founding Fathers risked their liberty and life by signing the Declaration of Independence, there has been those who have wanted to sink this great ship called the United States of America. Well 143 years later the good ship America took a torpedo hit that at the time seemed like just another glancing blow. What many still consider the greatest step forward in equality for the sexes, was more then just a glancing blow however. It was in fact a deadly strike that entered the very heart of the ship and has been smoldering since. The damage caused by the 19th amendment was slow in its destruction, but after almost 100 years we can now see how complete the destruction really was.

My wife Mrs. OneVike, asked me when she read this,

"Why do you insist on messing with the hornet nets?".

I looked at her and said with a smile,

Because it's fun.

Well anyway, this should be fun.

17th Amendment.

[LukeL]

The only vote women should have is whether to cook beef or chicken for dinner.

[pissant]

Yep

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh oh.

You’re gonna get it now.......

[nbhunt]

ok, you ask for it.....

oh never mind it would only start another war....

[brownsfan]

Yes. I firmly believe it was a major step towards the destruction of America.

[driftdiver]

Well I can think of a few women that shouldn’t be in office. And I’m ok with my wife being able to vote, as long as she votes for who I tell her too. :)

It’s dangerous to make broad generalizations. But it is true. Women tend more to think emotionally than men do. And our government today would be much more conservative had women never been allowed to vote.

[buccaneer81]

Ann Coulter has said that if women couldn’t vote, we’d never see a Democrat in the White House again.

[ilgipper]

That certainly changed the whole course of elections.

I would say the bigger change occurred when all people could vote and not just land owners. Our problems today can be pointed to opening up voting to people who have not clue as to economics.

[FrdmLvr]

Yes, the downfall of America began with the women’s right to vote.

[MARTIAL MONK]

You ain’t never never gonna get any the rest of your life.

[nbhunt]

stop drinking all that kool-aid

[mamelukesabre]

That may or may not be true. If women couldn’t vote, democrats would be forced to appeal to a different kind of electorate.

[OneVike]

Ya think?

[Pantera]

17th Amendment.

This one blew a hole the size of Texas.

[driftdiver]

Liberal women have no problem saying men should not have a voice.

Especially on issues like abortion.

[willgolfforfood]

Yeah, it hurt. But in a span of very few years, we also got the direct election of Senators, another amendment to allow a federal income tax, and the creation of the Federal Reserve.

No nation based on freedom and liberty was going to withstand this onslaught indefinitely. It took about 100 years, but we finally have more leaks in the dike than we can plug.
