Aye, aye on the nineteenth, there was a time when I would have said that repealing it was an insane idea but now that we see the results of the woman’s vote so clearly I am convinced the founders knew what they were doing. At the least we should raise the voting age to 21, preferably 25 and limit the vote to people who PAY taxes rather than living off those who do. Of course none of this is going to happen and without it any other amendments are just foolish grandstanding. Lowering the voting age to 18 was absurd, the only bright spot is that most don’t vote at that age anyway. The modern forty year old is probably less mature than the average fourteen year old was when this country was founded but we lowered the voting age as if the opposite were true.

It's one of those things one can't say if they fear being labeled as a misogynist... very much like one does not dare not say (let alone think or feel) that Jews run the banks and the media... the hooks come out.

My stance on 19th however comes from, my dear old Ma... she is the first one to say so... then again every "Martin Luther King Day" this same woman writes on her daily planing calendar on the side of the fridge "No Mail, No Bank. Thanks, Martin!" I hear you about the voting age as well... the immaturity of the modern 40 year-old compared to 235 years ago. I mean, General Joseph Warren, a Doctor, was 34 years-old when he was killed at Bunker Hill. The modern 34 year old is living in mommy and daddy's basement playing X-ray 360 or whatever. We moved away from our citizens having ownership of the Republic... and rather than entrust it to the the actual stakeholders; the businessmen, the farmers and landowners, the makers, creators, inventors, producers... we have allowed our representatives to squander the promise of this Republic, selling out our God-given freedoms in the process...all by giving a say to the takers, destroyers, deconstructors, and consumers. I've had it, honestly... I am working my ass off presently to pay off the debts of idle freeloaders. It's time to put a chain across the driveway of the farm with a sign that says all trespassers will be shot, dead... and just go Galt.
