Conservative ‘Christian’ Calls For Banning Women From Voting (AUDIO)

“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

But in the present day, there are still people who want to repeal it and once again ban women from exercising voting rights in America. One such individual is David Barton. Barton is the founder of Wallbuilders, an organization that seeks to destroy the separation of church of state. He also pretends to be a historian and hangs out with Glenn Beck. On Thursday, the conservative “Christian” openly called for taking voting rights away from women because women voting supposedly damages society and culture.

“So family government precedes civil government and you watch that as colonists came to America, they voted by families. And you have to remember back then, husband and wife, I mean the two were considered one. That is the biblical precept… That is a family, that is voting. And so the head of the family is traditionally considered to be the husband and even biblically still continues to be so.”

See what he did there? Barton claims that families voted as a unit during the colonial era and then goes on to say that men are biblically mandated to be the head of the household. In short, he’s saying that women should get married and trust their husbands to vote on their behalf. Here’s where that logic completely falls apart.

Conservatives want to stop women from voting because they vote for Democrats.

In the 2012 Election, Republican presidential wannabe Mitt Romney won the married men vote by 22 percentage points. On the other hand, he only won the married women vote by a mere 7 points. Clearly, their were many wives who chose to vote for President Obama against the wishes of their husbands on that Election Day. The biggest rejection of the GOP that year came from single women with 67 percent voting for Obama and only 31 percent for Mitt Romney.

doesn't care what you think.

Maybe it is time for old, white, rich, "religious" men to lose their rights to vote !!!!!

They have certainly done a dismal job of running things to date.

I guess David Barton will be calling for the reinstatement of slavery in his next sermon.

3. Trust my Republican husband

to vote me ME???? Hell, NO. Incidentally, my Grandma was a Suffragette. I have a very old picture of her marching for the right to vote.

7. My great granny was too.

I suspect Christianist historians will burn those pictures in the future so we don't know anyone ever believed such nonsense.

[jwirr]

4. Every single day they give us women another reason to vote Democratic.

[newfie11]

5. What a nut case.

This old hippy would love to have a one on one chat with this moron.

6. You have no idea how scary it is to have your

sisters transferred to a state where he is allowed to advise on the school curriculum. Big Business moves female employees to states where their rights are threatened, just so they can get some tax breaks.

He was allowed to rewrite the Texas scholastic history books to call slavery the Atlantic Triangular trade and to include Thomas Aquinas and John Calvin as "Enlightenment Philosophers"

The GOP considers this guy respectable even though he doesn't believe their daughters and wives should vote.

8. LOL ...a spectacle of idiocy.

11. What a moron

[theHandpuppet]

14. The saddest part is, a lot of folks probably think this is fiction

But I can tell you from first hand experience that when I was registering voters in NW Virginia, I encountered a number of households where women weren't registered because their husbands wouldn't let them. Usually it was the guy who stated that his wife didn't need to vote because he voted for the both of them but there were times that the women said that as well; in the latter cases, it was always with the husband hovering in the background, making sure she gave the right answer. One time I got the brushoff from a nasty man whose wife cowered, half-hidden against the door jamb to the kitchen. We made eye contact and I could see this was not what the woman herself wanted but she was afraid. Folks, if anyone thinks this doesn't happen here you are mistaken. I've seen it.

If he is really reflecting his wife's wishes, he is reducing the potential electorate for which ever candidate he supports by half.

16. Every bible thumper should go live in the middle east, leave science and all of its

luxuries behind, and get their great lives on.

17. So here's what I'd like to ask this guy.

In your ideal world where all women marry and their wonderful loving husbands vote for them, what happens if the man dies and the woman is widowed? Does she then get to vote for herself?

I'm not even going to ask him about the real world most of us live in in which many women are on their own for at least part of their adult lives. Take me. I didn't get married until I was 32. Marriage lasted 25 years, then ended in divorce, nearly six years ago now. I live again by myself, quite happily, thank you for asking.

As it happens my ex was a pretty good guy, very much liked it that I was independent in my thinking. We are both very progressive/liberal Democrats. We generally voted for the same people, but that was because we saw things the same way, not because he told me how to vote.

If I were to somehow marry someone who was a Republican, I would make absolutely certain I'd vote independently, although I can't imagine a man like that being willing to spend much time with me, let alone marry me. Nor would I want to be with someone who wasn't essentially on the same page as me.

18. Who needs Sharia law

when you have idiots like this.

20. This guy also calls himself a "historian"

Even his publisher, a Christian book distributor, pulled his "Jefferson Diaries" book since it had so many lies and inaccuracies in it.

21. So he wants to reverse 100 years of progress, Asshole.

[Thinkingabout]

22. When this one jumps up and starts providing for every woman's need

Maybe he can have the privilege of sitting the room with American women. Until then he needs to go and play in traffic on a very b uh sy street. It is "We the people" not some manless worm who wants to control the major of the population. He is someone who needs to wear a burka.
