We, as Conservatives, like to say that the United States is a Republic. It is NOT. It changed from a Republic to a Democracy with the passage of both the 12th and the 17th Amendments.

The 16th Amendment converted free men into debt serfs.

Then the 19th Amendment diluted the voting power by a full 50%. Since me majority of females vote liberally, this greatly influenced the political balance of the Untied States.

The 23rd Amendment permits Washington D.C. swamp voting ability.

I would suggest that we start enforcing the 10th Amendment immediately. And then start abolishing all those progressive well-intentioned amendments that started to destry freedom and liberty.

Women don’t vote nearly as reliably to the left as blacks, so I take it you *really* regret their gaining the right to vote?
