Does the government give Americans the right to vote or does it recognize their natural right to self determination?
If you have a point, quit dancing with “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin” style “questions”. You full well know that we are talking about VOTING here; I write plainly enough. Go read your Constitution, and note the “inalienable rights”. You won’t see “voting” listed.
Like it, don’t like it, I don’t make the freakin’ laws. You are allowed, or not allowed, to vote per statutes. Period.
