Anyone else having second thoughts on the 19th Amendment?

Anyone else having second thoughts on the 19th Amendment?

Count me among those. I first voiced this opinion during Clinton's first term.

We should definitely go back to male property owners having the right to vote and nobody else.

Of course, no individual has the "right" to vote in a presidential election.

Second thoughts? Never thought it was a good idea in the first place. That, and the establishment of the Federal Reserve.

Anyone else having second thoughts on the 19th Amendment?

Absolutely! Like the other amendments of the era, it was a result of the so-called "progressives", some of whom happened to have an "R" next to their names. I think it's noteworthy that Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi all rejected the 19th Amendment. These are also the states that led the Conservative Renaissance in 1964 by supporting Barry Goldwater.

I'll also add that Tom Tancredo's idea (advanced at the Tea Party Convention in 2010) of a civics test for voting makes good sense. One must be properly certified to drive or even be a barber, yet the precious privilege of voting for America's future is handed out like candy to the undeserving leeches. In an ideal world, I'd also make fluency in English a requirement for voting. The bilingual ballots (actually bilingual anything) only serve to Balkanize our country.

Oh, yeah. Big time.
