Senate Votes to Require Women to Register for the Draft (McConnell, McCain for; Cruz against)

New York Times ^ | June 14, 2016 | JENNIFER STEINHAUER

[EternalVigilance]

The Republicans who just voted to move toward drafting women should be run out of office on this one thing alone. It’s getting to the point where they’re just as deranged as the Democrats.

A country that murders its own children, glorifies homosexuality, and sends its women off to war, is committing national suicide.

Sadly, the people who are still sane will suffer too.

Stop electing crazy people, America!

Not all women are feminists, jackass! I for one don’t want my daughter in the military voluntarily or especially drafted!

And McCain nor Cruz nor any of the other political sob’s would have to worry about their daughters being called up in a draft anymore than they would have to worry about their sons.

[Lil Flower]

Because we’re not Israel.

[trisham]

Amen to that.

[Freedom56v2]

Bullsh*t!!! Women want to be EQUAL, AND EQUAL means just that!

You seem pretty pleased? Do you have a daughter?

[billyboy15]

Sadly you will bear the burden of what your sisters have fought so hRd for all these years.

Deal with it!

[Freedom56v2]

And we know what the Islamists do to women :(

[billyboy15]

Yes I do.

Another poster with a daughter?

[Freedom56v2]

Who is this “they” you speak of?
Stereotype much.

[Freedom56v2]

Well, I am really surprised as you seem damned happy—like haha now women gonna get theirs.

My daughter-in-law has 2 kids, one under 2 and one under 4. Would not want my grandkids to lose their mom...my son is a wonderful dad, but I know he would take a bullet for his wife.

I would not want my daughter fighting on combat detail. BTW, she had an appointment to a military service academy, so not opposed to service.

God made men and women different, I don’t support any of this.

Exactly.

[NKP_Vet]

In a sane nation this wouldn’t happen. But Obama wants, Obama gets. A nation that sends it’s women to fight it’s wars is not fit to be called a nation.

[Freedom56v2]

or the first time in my life I am disgusted by what our elected officials are doing to us.

Register women for the draft and withdraw their right to bear arms.

Interesting observation!

As I recall, there have been interviews of men who had served in combat positions, and the men did not want women serving

It’s not all women. Conservative WOMEN do not want this, but it’s not as if we have a voice in any election. The RINOS and Dems overrule common sense.

Many of them are the same age group of morons wanting women to register for the draft are the same group that headed for Canada and/or spit on the military after Viet Nam. Hypocrites all of them.

[jacknhoo]

You can’t be talking about Lying Ted.

[Jack Hammer]

From the text of the passage as written, it’s entirely clear to any literate reader that “they” refers to women who ramble on about how much they want to be liberated.

Sorry you missed it.

Hopefully the House will strike this crap down.

"What an evil country we live in."

Agreed. It's time for all good Americans to stop buying anything that we don't need, become more self-sufficient and learn to produce something, each, of good use (as a hobby for now). Building fallout shelters might also be a good idea.
