Voting eligibility


Voting eligibility.

1. I dont think anyone should be allowed to vote unless they are able to be drafted when necessary, or have fought in a war for their country, or have contributed very significantly to the country in some way, men and women.

My reason? You'll vote for the right people when it comes to war and have a true love for their country. Not vote for those who send off someone else to do their fighting for them with no idea what it's like while they sit comfortably at home shouting, "Do your patriotic duty!"

Also they are then probably more willing to accept all consequences for the votes more easily if 'draftable.' Another thought, why should women have the right to vote for any party that send men (and women) to their deaths in a war if they dont serve themselves?

2. I dont think anyone should be allowed to vote if they dont pay taxes.
My reason? It would reduce the handout mindset and improve the country immeasurably. Only those that pay should have a say.

Could be some interesting responses to this.

Any other reasons you can think of to 'qualify' someone's eligibility to vote - apart from just being born in the country? Be interesting to hear them. I'm sure there's some valid ones.

Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

Hi Skariff, long time no see. Hope all is well? Thanks for the comment. In your opinion, is that a bad or a good thing?

This post is just a bit of fun to see what people think on the topic. I dont mind it being shot down at all on this one. I am curious about how people would answer. Thanks for the comment.

You see the Liberals got it all wrong.

It's not about voter I'd and exclusion of people of color. It's not about Liberals, qand Liberal ideology..

It's about America, and what America stands for
It's about America for Americans
It's about America first.

Can we respond to change your mind?
Nobody gives a ratzazz
We got cockroaches, and because we are America, extermination is not a Option.
I, for one, like seeing it, It's like in the movie Avatar...."I see you"
the more "naked" you are the more I get to see.
you know I could just go visit a porn site.
but I prefer the "naked" pictures here.

Maybe you should think about quit playing their fricken game.

I don't post for them anymore. it useless....my talk is too cheap.

I'm not trying to talk to them, change their mind, or convince them of anything.

I'm talking to you, and other liberals here, who need to focus on the right things, not the wrong things. they just set you up, that what they do. They don't care what you say, just how they can use it. You want to help, black people, poor people, immigrant people, non-christian people, women rights, gay rights, and then allow them to say "what about Americans"? Don't you want to help Americans? Don't you see that's why Hillary lost! Don't you see that's how they change it, to make it work for them. Now they have a mandate, WTF are you going to do about that? Say the same things, over again.

They don't talk to me anymore....So in that respect I have achieved my goal. they ignore me, and all it does is show their ignorance.

Interesting blog, and interesting comments........ especially calling Trump "your" beloved president.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
