Conservative Beach Girl is speech protected in accordance with the Constitution of the United States of America. "The Constitution is not a suicide pact" - Justice Robert H. Jackson, 1949. Our representative republic based on our U.S. Constitution has many wolves slashing at our heels and hearts. Enemies within and enemies without; we must take them at their word, even as they dissemble at every turn to advance their cause to destroy our way of life and end our freedoms.

From Crusader Rabbit, this is not a platform for leftist tripe.
Beach Girl - Please know that I believe (as you apparently do) that Sharia Law is incompatible with what I perceive as a real democratic or republican form of government. However the second sentence of the first paragraph of your post (excerpt below) implies that women have been more discriminated against with respect to the right to vote than black people. That notion is ill informed.
ReplyDelete"President Obama mentioned in Turkey today that not long ago folks that looked like him were not allowed to vote. That was in the 1860s. Women in America - regardless of skin color - were NOT allowed to vote for the first time until 1920."
If one knows a smattering of political history of the United States, one knows that blacks were denied equal protection under the law, which included their right to vote, at least 104 years after 1860 - throughout the south, as well as in some other parts of the country. The period between 1860 and 1965, saw the ratification of the XIV, XV, and XXIV amendments, as well as the ratification of the XIX Amendment.
In spite of the first three of these amendments, it took the Voting Rights Act of 1964 to finally put a significant dent in the wall that stood between blacks and their right to vote in the south.
