discourages = discharges
“I think only veterans with honorable discourages should be allowed to vote for President.”
OK, one vote per acre.
men women who do not own property get no vote since they have no stake in the game
It is crystal clear that in the 100 yeas since, it was a ruinous idea.
I don’t read this as a call for the repeal of suffrage for women, but rather a rather well written piece pointing out that the Democrat party is engaged in a naked power grab that would have the effect of destroying suffrage for everyone.
Let me clarify. A couple of years ago, California legalized “ballot harvesting”, and on top of that, added some clever langue that made it easier for unions to assist their Democrat overlords, and harder for any opposition party to try the same thing. The results in the 2016 congressional elections were stunning: long time Republican, even conservative districts in Orange county and around the state resulted in Republican wins on election day, only to see the tally slowly eroded, and the Democrat challengers certified as the final winners as ballots were selectively harvested by legions of union canvassers.
It worked so well that they want to take this nationwide. If they succeed, it’s not hyperbole to suggest that will be the end of any kind of democratic Republic. The stakes really are that high.
People think that things like the rule of law, presumption of innocence, the orderly transfer of political power are normal, and “just the way things are”. In fact, for almost all of human history, and most places in the world today those concepts are either impossible dreams or simply beyond the ken of the people living under varying degrees of despotism.
And now the wolf is at our door, and we don’t have a lot of great options.
I think you’re right. The article is a bit confusing when it jumps from women’s suffrage to voter fraud. Surely voter fraud is an equal opportunity crime? Dead men vote in about the same numbers as dead women.
Hell, hand the place over to the Muslims and I may convert myself, out of spite.
OK, have fun in the next holy war against the "wrong" kind of Muslim. Make sure your suicide vest is fastened securely so you can get your 72 virgins.
This conservative woman is not giving up her right to vote. If I have to resort to the Second Amendment, I will. I pay taxes through the nose and this country was founded on the concept of “no taxation without representation”.
I’ve seen what American men say about American women, including on this forum. Not liberal American women, all American women. If the 19th Amendment were repealed I’m sure those lovely gentlemen would never legalize wife beating or anything like that. Giving up your right to vote is like handing a loaded gun to your sworn enemy and expecting them not to shoot you.
If we are going to point at "bad Ammendments", I'd point at the 17th before I pointed at the 19th.
i dont care if its 1820...1920...or 2020, theres things between men and women that never change..they can go to as many colleges as they want to. Female police officers...doctors..lawyers...politicians...its all done to prove some point, not out of need.
Or if it’s 1,000 AD or 5,000 BC. For people for animals, for plants — core genetic programming remains, regardless of other-generated human pridefulness.
“...this country was founded on the concept of “no taxation without representation”.”
This country began with no income tax. Our federal gov was funded by tariffs. Income tax, the Federal Reserve and 19A — all at the beginning of the 20th century.
Those allowed to vote should also be subject to military Selective Service, the draft.
“On August 5, 1861, President Lincoln imposes the first federal income tax by signing the Revenue Act. Strapped for cash with which to pursue the Civil War, Lincoln and Congress agreed to impose a 3 percent tax on annual incomes over $800.”
“Congress repealed Lincoln’s tax law in 1871, but in 1909 passed the 16th Amendment, which set in place the federal income-tax system used today.”
So men are your sworn enemy, in this "analogy"?
Nah, just the ones who hate ALL American women. My Taiwanese husband is definitely not my enemy.
My mom doesn’t think women should be allowed to vote. My brother yelled at her when she told him.
And I’m sooooo sure that the hard-won legal provisions that stop men from raping their own wives will remain quite secure if the women’s vote is repealed. /sarc
Simply replace the woman claim with African Americans and it b3comes clear how offensive the position is.
