We need to Repeal the 19th Amendment

[SilverTauron]

"What works for Washington DC will not work for Chicago. As scientific studies prove,women prioritize security when evaluating political candidates. Ever since womens sufferage was passed,the government has ballooned in size.Its clear that the idea of women being disenfranchised is just anti government paranoia. Reasonable restrictions on the Right to Equal Representation just makes sense,as benchmark allies like Saudi Arabia illustrate.We don't live in the 1920s anymore,and women just do not require the same rights they had almost 100 years ago.

I'm a firm believer in responsible voting,so stand with me against the money machine that's the feminist lobby .Repeal the 19th Amendment!"

-A word I offer to all who cherish the Constitution.Please send this to anyone you encounter who believes America is better of without the right to keep and bear arms.

Da faq?

See the problem with that thinking is that it doesn't take into consideration the other things that happened around the same time. The worst of all is the 17 amendment, direct election of senators. That is where the states lost any power and the fed government grew in size exponentially.

I believe the OP is trying to highlight the absurdity of anti-gunner statements.

One sincerely hopes that is so...

10 out of 10 Taliban agree!

Quite ironic how some of those who foam at the mouth with hatred of the Taliban share much of the same ideology.

Mods, please remove this from "General gun discussions." This is "off-topic" at best.

I do believe the bold part is the operative sentence. If it happens to the 2nd amendment, it can happen to others.

But I do agree the 17th did weaken the states to the point to how weak they are today.

A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift.

http://www.victorianweb.org/previctorian/swift/conner2.html

Jonathan Swift's masterful satire, "A Modest Proposal," [mockingly!] proposes to solve the devastating poverty in Ireland by selling poor children as food for wealthy families. Swift goes on to explain how this would solve all of Ireland's problems from domestic abuse to poverty. Swift 's Projector explains his proposal in depth, in many ways treating these children as nothing more than a new type of livestock. Towards the end, however, Swift lists numerous reforms that could help the country. This list makes a change in tone. However, these reforms differ from Swift's "modest proposal" because instead of the poor sacrificing their children, it would involve the rich sacrificing some of their luxuries.

Have we become so illiterate that we no longer recognize satire?
