'Women shouldn't be allowed to vote.'

But it's getting more popular. A very good female Youtuber named Pearl Davis is selling 'Women Shouldn't Vote' tee shirts.
This is her modeling it:

I think class divisions should be formalized and incorporated into law. There should be royalty, nobility, and serfs... or, I should say, there are all three of these types of people now, and we need to accept that. It's the human condition. We must stop this egalitarian charade where we let bums vote themselves be-nice-to-bums programs, the uneducated vote themselves college scholarships for their stupid kids, etc.

Unpopular opinion: The Pledge of Allegiance is creepy as frick. Why: First of all, pledging alliance to any government is insane on the face of it. Psychopaths are normally in charge of government. That's not hyperbole either. Second, we were not founded as a "nation". We're supposed to be a federation of states, which leads me to 3; "indivisible" goes against the very founding. We are absolutely SUPPOSED to be "divisible". There is a reason a dirtbag socialist is the one who wrote the pledge.


100% I think that socialist creep also worked at a place manufacturing flags.

Doubt Jefferson wanted us pledging allegiance to jack shite.

We should outlaw Sharia Law and deport any non-citizen Arab (muslim or not).

Unpopular Opinion

The Atlantic Slave Trade and its aftermath have hurt the white man more than the black man.

Why?

Many blacks were sold into slavery by other blacks in West Africa. They weren’t living the good life in Africa before being brought to North America. Eventually the black man was integrated into a country a hell of a lot more advanced than their native land and the descendants of slaves have (and will continue to) benefit from that tremendously.

Freeing the black man and trying to lift him up to equal status has come at a great cost to the white man in lives and resources.

If the AST had never happened, the black man would be worse off and the white man better off.

Unpopular Opinion
The "middle class" doesn't pay isht in taxes.

Why?
Because they don't. It's unpular because a lot of people that think they are "middle class"... are really in the top 5-10% of income earners.

We should have a flat tax. Take the federal budget and divide by the population = your tax bill.

Why?
Everyone wants "someone else" to pay the taxes. And incorrectly thinks that "fairness" is having a slim minority of people paying the vast majority of the tax bill. Nothing is more "fair" than everyone sharing the burden equally.

That politics should play absolutely zero part in the abolition issue.

We’ve seen what “experts” get us. Every politician who is not part of the group think will be miraculously unfit or mentally unstable.



Not even speaking to the useless application of the term "expert" by politicians in general...

Without getting into details... I have known brilliant people at some skill ( such as math or chemistry, ect..) for which the term "expert" would legitimately apply that did not have enough sense to stay out of he rain...

So yeah... "experts" is a term that does not hold too much water for me ..

I don’t believe in term limits for elected officials.


This is mine as well but for different reasons. Term limits just get the assholes out of Congress. That isn't good enough. You have to get them completely out of Washington and term limits don't do that. There are only 537 elected officials in the entire federal government. There are tens of, if not hundreds of, thousands of appointed positions in the federal government and a career government official can slip and slide between them for decades. No one has elected John Kerry to anything since the late 1990s and he has still spent the entire time since then in some kind of government position or another. The answer is less government positions for these weasels to set up shop in. If you want fewer career politicians you need fewer career jobs in government. (You also need fewer career jobs outside of government--consultants, advisors, media, lobbyists, and all the other positions in the industry of politics but that is an even more complicated problem to solve.)

"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

1923 to 1924
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

1924 to 1954

1954 (current version, per 4 U.S.C. §4)
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

We fought for 50 years to get Fedgov out of it, so why let them back in?




this.

It irritates me so much that Republicans in Congress pushing for total bans. That alienates a bunch of folks and it is not in their purview. It only hurts the party with aspirations for attaining more votes.

Same reasons. You just said it better.

Nobody should have a career working for the federal government. I say 10 yrs max. Then, you gotta move on to a real job from which you can actually get fired.

Unpopular Opinion
The establishment wing of the Republican Party is every bit of a threat to our liberty as the Democratic Party.

Because of it’s covert nature, the destruction of the GOPe should be the primary objective.

Why
Without a true opposition party, the country has shifted so far left that even speech is at stake. Having a significant portion of the part of the party owned by outside influences and/or true RINOs means we are a one party country.

Most of my “opinions” would get the banhammer

But state election donations should only come from within the state of the election. Congress needs term limits. There needs to be a basic civics / iq test to run for any state/ national level political office.

Probably one of my most offensive… only land owners should vote
