Should women have the vote? Should women be banned from holding office? Should they wear burkahs in public?

Perhaps you forget that women voting is a very new thing. Look at what it has given us.

No I haven't forgotten anything.

What legistlation wouldn't have been passed if women didn't have the vote? What people wouldn't have been elected if women didn't have the vote? It's easy to make blanket statements but provide evidence for those statements.

The base constituents of the Democratic party do not even include white males. {base, good pun}.

Do you really want me to prove to you that Clinton couldn't have won an election where women couldn't vote? That would be a pointless exercise for me wouldn't it. If you don't think that the politics of the country hasn't shifted leftward since the 19th ammendment, well you're free to think that way.

A man named Clinton comes to mind immediately.

It sure seems like a Biblical case could be made for women covering their heads when they're praying or prophesying (1 Cor 11:5).

That reminds me, I've got to re-paint my pick-up roof.

I saw a TV show the other night about some French dude who had re-vitalized the French national soccer team. They had a shot of the championship game being played somewhere in Europe and to my amazement, right in front of the camera was a huge Rebel flag being waved. Go figure. I prefer the Bonnie Blue myself.

Well, although I cannot completely agree with biblewonks position,I do wonder if we would have ever had Roe V Wade had it not been for womens participation.

Clinton, while scum, is not responsible for the all of the problems in our society. In fact it would be more accurate to say that he, and people like him, are symptoms of the problem.


In order for the "uppity woman" theory to be correct a time line would have to be created from the time women have had the vote showing what elections would have been different and then postulating what legislation would be changed. Until some of this evidence is submitted, I will assume that the "theory" is based on misogyny and not any Christian or philosophical principles

I hate to see that mentioned in the same contest as burkas.

I try not to let others' knee-jerks bother me. But, your point is quite valid. "Pearls" and such...

I'm sure we wouldn't and that was one of the many things that comes to mind. Ever notice how long it takes a church to go from a female pastor to doing gay marriages? The bible says women are easily deceived and look at the kinds of things that the Demoncrat party puts out and that they believe.

I neither said nor implied any such thing. You put words in my mouth and followed it by telling me how my alleged response could be "more accurate." That's rich.

... Until some of this evidence is submitted, I will assume ...

Yes, a lot of people go through life that way.

The maternal/feminine instinct, as expressed in the voting booth, is nothing but poison to a republic such as ours. Respect for individual responsibility and acknowledgement of inherent risks in life, for starters, are not things women (most that I know, anyway) can readily embrace.

I had an exchange with a woman one time that perfectly summed up the whole dynamic. I told her, in some unrelated conversation, that I occaisionally would go running in the neighborhood very late a night if my schedule required it.

"That's DANGEROUS! You shouldn't do that!"

Not a problem. I always at least carry my knife.

"A KNIFE? You're SCARING me!"

I shouldn't run at night because it's dangerous, and I shouldn't arm myself because then I'm dangerous. The 19th Am unleashes this dynamic on us all, and we're forced to watch as the femininzed state sqeezes more and more actual freedom from our daily lives.

I love you man!!!!!!!!!!!

There are an awful lot of so called conservatives that think we can have the 19th ammendment and still live in a rational country.

I watch Mary Poppins with my kids and to me the biggest story in the whole show is that the wife is out trying to get the vote for women and the husband is allowing it to happen!!! OK I digress.

There was a very interesting post months ago that was a writing by a womens group that didn't want women to get the vote. They, like my wife, were very willing to not vote to keep the vote out of the hands of the rest of the women in the country. Their foresight was very interesting.
