will Kick for attention

Just a few days ago, Icky Ricky Santorum stated publicly! that there were good reasons that the Founding Fathers did not extend the right to vote to everyone, specifically, women, blacks (slaves), and those who did not own land. The mentality of the far-right frightens me. It's the same mentality that justified and defended the slave trade, the subjugation of women, and the outright murder of Native Americans. Now it justifies the subjugation of women through the denial of medical choices and unequal pay, defends racial segregation, massive income inequality and immigration rights--all to protect the privilege of the few at the expense of the many.
