That’s a democrat dream - youth - barefoot and dumb. They shoot for ignorance in government issues to get elected. They count on lies and hype to garner votes from the youth. Nazis relied on youth A LOT!

Yes, and if I were elected, the first thing I would want to do is raise the voting age to 25. I know I was too stupid and unaware to be voting at 18. At 18 you just haven’t spent enough time on this earth or paid enough dues to be well-informed enough to be able to vote. You haven’t invested in society or paid enough into the system to even understand the issues.

It hasn't been called civics in years and years. Heck, I'm looking at age 55 and I never took "civics". It was social studies even back in the 60s and early 70s. Nonetheless, we still covered topics like the Constitution and the make up of Government.

Tha answer is to bring back the Poll Tax.

An uneducated electorate is how the Rats get elected. The stupidity level of many voters is dangerously high.

Youth of America is just too stupid???

Hell, I know many 50 something baby boomers who can’t answer basic civic questions but sure as hell know what federal programs they are entitled.

This is why the original voting age was 21 years. anyone younger was considered too immature to make important decisions.

Don't forget the new “Junk Science Studies”

Global Warming and You 101:
(How the government can save the planet if you give up all control of your life and give them more money)

Global Warming and You 201:
(no, really it's true. We swear! Don't believe the 31,000 scientist that say our really truly real science is a scam. They are all paid off by big oil and big pharma. Trust us!

Global Warming and You 350:
(Look, we tried to be nice about it. Now you believe us or we'll press the red button and blow you up. Resistance is futile.
You are a racist and a lover of Bush [haha! try and recover from that one] if you disagree with us.
Remember what our comrades did to the 100 million that decided to challenge us by disagreeing in the last century.

No pressure.)
