This is why the voting age should be put back to 21 maybe even later.

Voting has nothing to do with age.

The founders had it right with property owners.

Anyone voting for Hellary is an uneducated moron, leftist hack or just a bad person.

Liberals consider morality the burden of the right. They are liberated from such nonsense. Hillary is the quintessential woman, unfettered by the past and open to an unbridled future. Her legacy is “me first!”

Yet another very simple and honest difference between how the conservative and liberal minds work. Really fascinating.

You just have to turn the cultural propaganda off its head back onto its feet. Not “you can never have a career” but “you can have kids and stay home with them” which even hardened abortion feminists aspire to. Women drag down the wage & employment sex ratio with men by voting with their feet. Real “career” slavery means indefinitely deferring childbearing, working overtime and weekends. Women have this inconvenient pattern of voting against that paradigm with their feet.

True, but too many of today’s twenty-somethings are about as mature and thoughtful as yesterday’s toddlers.

A better way to go might be to return us to the days when only landowners could vote, and add to that they must have children as well.

When virtually everyone has this kind of skin in the game, it’s likely the government would be kept in line and held to account.

Why limit voting to older idiots?

Age largely misses the point. We get more big government because people who benefit from big government (but aren't required to pay for it) are allowed to vote.

They say: "Then, my daughters will know that nothing is to too great for them to aspire to. A woman can indeed be president of the United States."

This is already true. There is no need to elect a corrupt harridan to affirm it.

Most conservative women are not impressed with the idea of "female solidarity." They regard it as intellectually and morally foolish.

Also notice that if the *****First Female Candidate for U.S. President on a Major-Party Ticket***** were a Republican, we would not hear much about the fact from women--or from men.

Conservatives wouldn't think primarily of "The First Female President!!!"--or at least should try not to think that way--and would mention the fact mainly to show that so-called liberals weren't saying things like "...then, my daughters will know that nothing is to too great for them to aspire to. A woman can indeed be president of the United States." Any of that "female solidarity" would end well before that point.

(The same applies to a "racial" or "ethnic" solidarity, which leftists will never invoke for conservatives who are "people of color.")

Political women are far more corrupt and over-compromising than men. Also, few have the stamina for the national election process, much less the pace of elected service. This is NOT to say that women in general are more corrupt, but that their natural gifts don’t work well in that arena. (Please note that I am a woman.)

People on the left think of themselves as worldly, and with regard to national identity, this is largely true. Viewing themselves as world citizens, liberals value national identity far less than conservatives do. That's why on national holidays you will find so many fewer American flags in liberal neighborhoods than in conservative neighborhoods. What the left has done is trade in national identity and solidarity for race, gender and class identity and solidarity.
“Liberals” certainly are not worldly, in the sense of knowing the ways of the world. Go anywhere else in the world, lose your papers - and see how fast you ask for an American Embassy or consulate!!! Never mind losing you papers; just enter a country and fail to get a visa - and have that fact come to the attention of authorities, for example when showing your passport to board a flight out of the country - and see where that gets you. In their conceit that national borders do not matter, they are utterly naive.

To the extent that they think of their sex as their identity, they are thinking small - for they are excluding their own sons from their identity.
