Bryan Fischer wants to outlaw voting...

Unless the person owns property, of course.

Fischer: Only Property Owners Should Be Eligible To Vote

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Wednesday, 1/15/2014 10:30 am

On his radio show yesterday, Bryan Fischer called for ending Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, as well as the elimination of the minimum wage ... all in order to help the poor and those struggling to make ends meet, of course. So logically this discussion resulted in Fischer eventually calling for a return to an electoral system in which only people who own property can vote. "You know, back in the day, in the colonial period," Fischer said, "you have to be a landowner, a property owner to be eligible to vote and I don't think that's a bad idea. And the is very simple: if somebody owns property in a community, they're invested in the community. If they're renters, they're going to be up and gone; they could leave the next day ... [P]eople that are not property owners - it's like people that pay no taxes, they have no skin in the game. They don't care about the same things that somebody does who is rooted in the community":

Does anyone out there actually pay attention to what this dingus has to say? Why does every verbal belch of his get any notice? And no, I don't really believe that the entire Republican party is in lockstep with him.

The GOP really wants to go back to the good old days when only men who owned property could vote
