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.

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.

[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.

[Las Vegas Ron]

You got bells the size of church balls for posting this thread :)

[9YearLurker]

Yeah, and how different the electorate would be if blacks couldn’t vote, but people don’t go advocating for that. Let’s lay off the fantasy of denying women civil rights—or we’re no better than those in the Middle East who want to subjugate all Americans.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

It was a big mistake, possibly fatal. We were never intended to be a pure democracy, that we are approching that state will be our downfall.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

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.

Many native American cultures recognized that men were driven by their hormones. They established that post menopausal women should make the major decisions for the tribe because they were the most rational and least likely to be hormone driven. I agree. Let’s allow only women who have completed menopause to vote and make all the decisions. After all, it is supported by science.
