Like I said, interesting theory.

Not a theory.

Original intent. Read the Constitution and Federalist Papers. Yes, there were amendments, but where did they get us?

“where did they get us?”

The two that immediately come to mind are presidential term limits and abolishing slavery. And as much as you and I probably disagree...giving women the privilege to vote.

I will agree with your line of thinking in one way. I was completely amazed and disgusted with the whole “get the woman vote”, “war on women” meme that was displayed more this election that in any I can remember. Birth control and Lilly Ledbetter (nothing to do with equal pay) seemed to rule the day. It was insanity. But I attribute that insanity to the liberal mind set that has invaded our “dumb-downed” society as much or more than gender. I fear for our country.

I actually gave some thought to only male landowners being able to vote. I can see some landmines in that as well. I see the what and why that original intent was. A new country protecting itself from interlopers. (I guess we still face that problem in reality.)

Don’t throw all women under the bus because of these dingbats. If the liberal trend continues...you may need us conservative women to survive. It’s our country, too.

(I have studied the Constitution and read the Federalist Papers. :) Being a political junkie and history buff I have read a lot of literature from that period and forward.)
