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.

If anyone thought women were soft, they need to look at this thread. The women here are tough.

Arizona was the first state to give women the right to vote.

Nope, Wyoming was. Beat Arizona by 40+ years.

Arizona's history, aside from territorial governors and the fairly recent past, is pretty solidly blue.

Did you intend that pun? “broad assumptions”...lol

[Brad’s Gramma]

Me too.

[mamelukesabre]

Yep. :)

You’re only the second person to catch it.

I believed this when AL Gore airbrushed a bigger penis on the cover of Rolling Stone and kissed (manhandled)his wife on TV....if women wern’t voting it would be more about the issues.

Please don’t judge all of us by the words of some. -:)

For myself, I would just take the vote away from liberal women.

You are good raptor29 thank you whoever you are.

“Women have voted for the Democratic candidate for president in every election since 1940. Enough said.”

Enough said, indeed. Just amazing that this issue needs to be argued, the evidence (both objective and subjective) is there to be seen for anyone with an ounce of intellectual honesty.

And you stick to your guns, marychestnutfan, you’re knocking some people on their rears.....

Neither the treasonous, impeached, bent-crank, violent rapist nor the MARXIST MUSLIM KENYAN would have been given the keys to the White House were it not for the Womyn vote.

You are welcome...I have read with utter delight the way you have handled your detractors....a hat tip to you ma’am :)

Well, folksies! It’s been a fun thread. Maybe it’s true. So, I propose next time Freeper women hear how we should get out and vote and not to stay home — well, women shouldn’t vote.

[MuttTheHoople]

I agree about the 19th Amendment. Because women have the vote, we get idiots like Bill Clinton who "feels your pain" and Stuttering Barack Oteleprompter the pretty-boy descendant of slaveowners and muslim slavetraders.

That said, I believe women should be allowed to run for office. A woman who can make it in a man's world (ie, Golda Meir, Maggie Thatcher, Sarah Palin, etc.) is worthy of getting a man's vote. Sounds hypocritical, but it's no worse than Albore jetting around the world preaching to us about our carbon footprint.

well at least you don’t have a broad sweeping opinion that would certainly look 50’s like. :)

I think I really understand the plan God had in mind for us. He said the husband is to be the head of the wife. He also said the husband must be willing to lay down his life for his wife so I do not see where in any way, God is saying my life is less worthy than my husbands.

There should be one vote per household and it should be the husbands. That doesn't mean the wife may not exert influence over the husband but he will still be one taking the vote.

I actually see God's plan as putting women on a pedestal to where we don't have to do those things. Let the men do it. The problem is too many men are willing to abdicate their responsibility.

I guess I'm saying I wouldn't mind being a kept woman. It's just not working out that way around here. :)

“So I propose next time Freeper women hear how we should get out and vote and not stay home - well, women shouldn’t vote.”

No, that would be a conclusion based on emotion, an emotional response to some criticism. Similar to so-called ‘conservative’ blacks voting for Obama, you choose to side with women because you are a woman. Which makes the original point of this post, that on issues affecting our society, women need to think and not act on emotion. Show me something and next time, challenge some of your Oprah-watching, VIEW-watching intellectual lightweight friends to think, for once in their lives.

I agree!
