I’d cut that down a bit…I sympathized with conservatives a lot more after ONE year in the workplace, and that was working a part-time job while I was in highschool!
But otherwise you’re absolutely right.

It was my first job that also made me conservative. In 1992 I was 20, in college and thought I was a socialist. I voted Clinton. By 1994 I registered Republican and voted Dole in ’96.

Furthermore, I think you should have to have at least 5 years in the workforce before you may vote. This would make the minimum voting age 23 for those who go to work after High School or 27 for college graduates.

In the future I see an America where welfare is restricted to people who’ve been taxpaying citizens for at least a couple years, those who sell addictive chemicals to children are stood up in front of a firing squad, and people like Dante are paradropped into Iran. Because we learned the hard way that a harsh, no-compromise stance is the only solution.

The biggest flaw in any Republic is making the right to vote universal. That right should not be conferred at any arbitrary age, but upon the citizen becoming a productive member of society. This means holding a job at the very least and paying taxes. I also think that non military government employees also should not have the right to vote.

Furthermore, I think you should have to have at least 5 years in the workforce before you may vote. This would make the minimum voting age 23 for those who go to work after High School or 27 for college graduates.

It’s worse than that. This Republic is going to have to be destroyed and then re-forged in such a way that the Looter coalition can NEVER gain political power ever again. The fastest way to that end, ironically may be to give the Looters and Obama, their leader what they want.

Exactly. I see no other way to fight the insanity of surrendering to the welfare state, harmful drugs, and terrorism than for the populace to get its arse kicked by them.

I’m with you 110%. Elections have consequences and we do not have the political firepower to override the liberals any more. There is no other way now.
