There is a saying which I think has a million variations... If you aren't liberal when you are 20 you have no heart and if you aren't conservative when you are 40 you have no brain.

I think we should allow people including kids to arrive at their own conclusions. Saying we should go with Ann's plan would obviously skew things Republicans way and would never be allowed first of all. Second she should know better. People of much younger age use to be considered adults because so much more was asked of them. It's not an age issue.

The problem is that is that in the military there is accountability, responsibility, make it your own way kind of attitude. With the “educated” it's about I'm smarter than everyone else people should act like me because I'm enlightened. But they aren't taught what it's like in the real world. Is it really a shock that many of the educated elite are so caught up in their careers that they never decide to have children(birth control, abort them out of existence)?

Our country was built on freedom and that includes freedom to be liberal. Let's not move backwards but continue to focus our attention on the universities that promote fantasy over reality.

“Our country was built on freedom and that includes freedom to be liberal.”

You missed the entire point of her article. The point is not about voting age, instead it is about the use of “26 year olds” as children that need their parents to carry their health care coverage. If a 26 year old is a “child” in the health care bill, then that “child” should not be treated as an adult and given the privelege of voting.

In other words, these “children” have celebrated the government confiscation of their physical being so they should no longer be awarded freedoms. They have given away their claiim to be free.

They can’t have it both ways.
