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.

As a woman, I wholeheartedly agree. But, the damage is done.
The women got the vote and the Nation got Harding. It’s gone down hill since.
Women only recently got the vote in Switzerland. See how long it takes them to run that once prosperous country into the ground.
Anne Coulter agrees with me, btw.
It all contributes but The Franchise was critical. We can’t come back from that. We could conceivably come back from the other things. Sure. Lots of women think straight and lots of men whimper and suck their figurative thumbs. There is Maggie Thatcher and there is Alan Alda. That category is increasing steadily. The critical category is unmarried women. They look to the government for the security they can’t find by marriage or they disdain marriage but they still want that husband/father to provide the security that is their biological due.
“I’m sure that is why the Taliban doesn’t allow their women to vote either.”
Nice strawman.
Liberalism and femminism are closely linked. Liberalism is ruled by feelings first and foremost. Women are emotional beings.
I’d be lost without the woman in my life to provide balance. But in general, women tend to be “not political”. Ask them. So, do you sacrifice the country so that the minority of women who are analytical can vote?
If you don’t like how a segment votes, you don’t strip away their rights, you educate them as to why they should vote differently.
Certain demographics not voting the way we want is a failure on OUR part, not a failure of that demographic.
It is easy to blame other groups, it is tough to look in the mirror.
Maria Portokalos: Let me tell you something, Toula. The man is the head, but the woman is the neck. And she can turn the head any way she wants.
Here’s another woman who agrees with you.
AMEN to that.
yep, and these men just don’t realize how women control all aspects of their lives....
Oh Please..Marx, Stalin and Mao where men. Get a grip.
Minorities: Ninety-six percent of black voters supported Obama. He also drew the votes of two thirds of Hispanics.MEN Women: Obama attracted 56 percent of female voters. Unmarried women voted for Obama over McCain by 70 to 29 percent.
White men: He had the support of 41 percent of white men. Before Obama, no Democrat since Jimmy Carter had earned more than 38 percent of the white male vote.
You see...the problem is that you guys didn't marry the girl before you knocked her up.....jerks cost the most votes, period.
Shock a roo...half or more of FR is women.
Switzerland is already down to tube and has been for a while, don’t blame the women for this one. But ahhhh, now that women can vote,,,,,maybe it will get better....
“My father has been dead for 30 years but I still remember his saying granting women the right to vote was the greatest mistake in the history of our Republic.”
I guess that settles that.
What do the “a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle” bitter single females invariably vote for?
a replacement husband in government. security and financial support.
You have been here long enough to know that half or more of FR are women.
Marx, Stalin and Mao where men.
Minorities: Ninety-six percent of black voters supported Obama. He also drew the votes of two thirds of Hispanics. MEN!

The problem is we are all being demoralized and commies love people who divide families with this crap.
Women put DEMS over the top every time. I also piss at old retire men also. They voted for him also. Our country founders were right not to let them vote. I fell for nothing. Too many women vote for the wrong reasons.
Did you read who voted for what or are you just emotionally attached to this issue?
I have stated this position since 1998 at the FR. I will never change this position.
At least three women will read your post and vote Dem just to tick you off. Great job.
