From OneVike's homepage, in his own words.....

I have been a Freeper since Feb 1998, and a Republican since my wife's father convinced me that the Democrats have left me. Later I realized that the Democrats never left me, I never had common beliefs with them in the first place. I was just thinking emotionally instead of logically.

It's OK for him to vote and keep his right to vote, because he's a man. Even when he votes emotionally, by his own admission, he can keep his right to vote, but he advocates that women should never have had the vote because they vote *emotionally*.

Being a tad hypocritical, isn't he?

I answered this charge before, go back and read my comments. It was an opinion piece I wrote for a friends blog, and like I have also said I wish I never had the right to vote as an 18 year old because the uninformed young vote has also contributed to our downfall. As I said, since 1920 men too have become overly emotional in their lives.

In my opinion, giving 18 year old's the right to vote was an emotional response by those who saw all the young men dieing in the Vietnam War that decided that if you can die for your country then you should be able to vote. I attribute that to the feminization of men's thought process.

Same with dropping the age to 18 for drinking, which was the same reason for giving them the right to vote, the dieing for the country sentiment. However men and women, conservative and liberal had no problem getting on board to take their right to drink away, and support raising it back to 21. Again as an emotional vote as it was to give it to them them in the first place.

When I was young I was irrationally emotional, as I got older I began to use logic and wisdom from true experiences. Now I am conservative, the very reason many become conservative when they get older. I don't hide my youthful indiscretions from people. I admit them while pointing out how I grew and saw the error of my ways.

We live in a very emasculated society that does everything based upon their emotions. It all started when men started to cow tow to every emotional whim by the women. Either admit it or not, I don't care anymore.

It is time to drop it. Talk about emotional, you are being consumed by this. metmom, for your own sanity please let it go, because I have and I will now go onto another topic.

I appreciate the passion and love you have for your right to vote, I think you should keep it.

Now I am working on an opinion piece about whether or not the Church should give up their tax exempt status. If you desire to jump all over me for that also, I will welcome it, but this conversation is over. In my mind it is well in the past and I have moved on, I suggest you do the same.

May God's Spirit calm your anger and give you piece.

He will not acknowledge that his premise is incorrect and won't even address my counter argument, so eager is he to place the blame upon women. He's the kind of man my dear and very logical father warned me about.

It wouldn't surprise me if he were one of the many men who embraced the sexual revolution and the consequence-free sex it offered, with great enthusiasm.

And remember, this conversation which he began, is over when he says it is! : )
