Wrong you say? Perhaps you should complain then to this site (where I copied and pasted the sentence from)

Welcome to OurDocuments.gov

It is a official website it even has the .gov thing going. So should listen to some guy on the internet or a official government website?

if you are going to post a site, you need to focus on what you are trying to prove........its like hay saying "yes the government can do that"....and when asked where it is...he says "its in the constitution", which is vague, as you are now.
 
absolutely!!!!! we have a constitution which guarantees texas the right to seceed, or any other state. As a sworn defender of the constitution of the united snakes i must support texas' right to seceed.

Bwhahaha you are going to support defending the US COnstitution by supporting Texas going against the Constitution? I dont think that you even understand what you just said. State secession is a decree by State government asserting that they refuse that the US Constitution is the law of the land, they want to remove US Constitution and wish to leave it behind.

19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Women's Right to Vote

passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle; victory took decades of agitation and protest. Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. Few early supporters lived to see final victory in 1920.


The 19th Amendment clarified that the right to vote could not be denied any citizen of the United States based on sex. Let's take a look at the lengthy and arduous path traveled by women seeking not only the right to vote, but also acknowledgment of citizenship.

19TH AMENDMENT SUMMARY


The Nineteenth Amendment is all about giving women the opportunity to vote. In the 1830's, a lot of women went through a lot just to get this amendment ratified. They marched, wrote, and lectured to accomplish what many people thought wasn't possible. It was really hard for them because a lot of people, especially men, thought that all they should do was cook and do house work. The women thought that if they could get educated, then why couldn't they vote? So, they fought and fought until it was finally introduced to Congress in 1878. It was finally ratified in 1920.

What Does the 19th Amendment Cover?
The 19th amendment covers voting rights. Specifically, the amendment guarantees voting rights for women citizens of the United States. The amendment was officially ratified in the year 1920, and it was supported by various lobbying groups and leaders. Subsequent court cases upheld the constitutionality of the amendment and guaranteed voting rights for all U.S. citizens, regardless of their gender.

for you to bring libertarianism into the conversation is a complete deflection because you have nothing to put forth, ..you cant produce anything......:lamo..its a riot:mrgreen:

Your declared ideology is that of a RIGHT LIBERTARIAN. It is in every single post you make here. To acknowledge that and to acknowledge your tactics of denying the reality of the evidence I have presented and then to provide a third party source identifying such tactics as part and parcel of a libertarian mindset which is part of a mental disorder that has the person deny reality - is 100% appropriate when you continue to employ it like you just did again.
 
:lamo...nothing ...a deflection

Again - you deny what I have posted and confirm the article identifying some extreme libertarians as having an apparent dissociative disorder.



http://accredited-times.com/2013/08/08/352/

In May of this year, the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders was published by the American Psychiatric Association. This near-comprehensive set of diagnostic criteria is just another example of the progress which government-funded medical research has made in recent years. Many hurdles remain, however, and psychiatric professionals are discovering new personality disorders and previously unknown mental dysfunctions on a near-daily basis. With that in mind, I offer the two following observations:


1: Psychosis is defined by experts as a mental state involving a “loss of contact with reality.” (1)

2: Ludwig von Mises, a cult figure among Right-wing extremists and described by many as the “Paul Krugman of Libertarianism”, once offered the following bizarre statement in defense of his repugnant ideology:

“Its statements and propositions are not derived from experience. They are, like those of logic and mathematics, a priori. They are not subject to verification and falsification on the ground of experience and facts. They are both logically and temporally antecedent to any comprehension of historical facts.” (2)

The consensus amongst professional Economists today is that this statement is merely another glaring example of the shoddy circular logic and solipsistic reasoning for which extreme right-wing “thinkers” are notorious. Could it be, however, that an altogether more tragic story lies behind the creation of Ludwig von Mises’ hate-filled works? Perhaps history may judge the man more kindly if the sociopathic nature of his “philosophy” can one day be ascribed to mental ill health rather than wilful malice.

Whilst it is undeniable that the “Libertarian” movement exhibits continuous atavistic spasms of illogicality and delusion, the majority of individuals aligned with the “Libertarian” and Conspiracy movements are not, of course, mentally ill. Most are simply malcontents; socially inept individuals who, suffering from boredom as a result of the record amounts of leisure time afforded by recent improvements in the economy, engage in anonymous confrontational thrill-seeking online. Many are only semi-literate and, having perhaps read Ayn Rand, but not von Mises or Rothbard, merely parrot slogans and catchphrases which they have learned by rote from darkly charismatic leaders within the cult-like environs of shady online message boards.

Each post you make in which you deny the evidence I have put forth right here today only confirms that this is valid and accurate.

Everything in that article confirms that the right to vote was given to women by the 19th Amendment. This proves you wrong beyond any doubt. For you to deny it - yet again - is simply a sign of your refusal to accept reality and fact because it would destroy your extremist self imposed belief system.
 
being a libertrian has nothing to do with what we are talking about..you bringing it into the topic is a deflection

It has EVERYTHING to do with the tactics you use here and your blatant denial of reality. It fits you like a custom made $3,000.00 handmade suit.

Furthermore, it explains many threads in the past and the tactics you used in them as well. The recent Declaration of Independence thread is another perfect example where you invented an alternate reality that fit your ideology and rejected the reality that most people and the history of this nation lives with.
 
this is Haymarket's favorite info site..wikipedea

he Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits any United States citizen from being denied the right to vote on the basis of sex. It was ratified on August 18, 1920. The Constitution allows the states to determine the qualifications of voters, subject to limitations imposed by later amendments. Until the 1910s, most states disenfranchised women. The amendment was the culmination of the women's suffrage movement in the United States, which fought at both state and national levels to achieve the vote. It effectively overruled Minor v. Happersett, in which a unanimous Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment did not give women the right to vote.

Another example of weirdness - you introduce something and use my name to do so when I have not introduced that item myself.

And that article confirms that the 19th Amendment effectively gave women the right to vote.

I taught US Government for 33 years and for much of it used the #1 high school text in America. It is used by more schools than any other text.
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT: Principles and Practices by Turner, Switzer and Redden. Merrill Publishing Company.

Here is what it says about the 19th Amendment in the section on the Constitution explain the Amendment: page 799

" Adopted in 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment established the right of women to vote on a nationwide basis and indirectly established the right of women to hold public office."

Now here is your chance to whine some more that I have not presented any evidence.

NO. I am simply speaking to the tactics you have used here and support it with authoritative evidence.

When those same tactics are used to kill debate as well as present blatant falsehoods, they are appropriate to mention.

which confirms that the 19th amendment effectively gave women the right to vote.

wrong it does not..is says they are guaranteed a vote

no where in the constitution is the word "granted", ever used for a right......the word granted is used for powers granted to the federal government.

Why are you insisting that the word GRANTED or any other specific word must be used?

That is utterly ridiculous and a straw man of your own making.

When you adopt the tactics described, it is appropriate to expose them.

Just look at what you did with the silly "Haymarket has used Wikipedia" post attack. Its a perfect example of denial of reality since I did not post the information YOU CITED in your post. Wikipedia has thousands - perhaps hundreds of thousands of articles. I am NOT responsible for the ones you use.

because the constitution grants powers..it says that......you are saying its grants rights..it does not say that.

all rights are recognized ...women were denied the vote before the 19th by the states, the 19th granted the federal government the power to write legislation prohibiting states from excluding women voting...

the amendment says!..Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

the amendment is giving congress a power..the constitution again is about....POWERS

you stated wikipedia is a good and verifiable source of information......therefore..you cant in anyway dispute the web site for information.

Where are you getting this fantasy from? The Constitution does what it does and does not have to say so in any way that pleases you.

That is absurd beyond belief. Each article and each bit of information in Wikipedia stands on its own. One does NOT make the others accurate nor reliable.

That is really a ridiculous argument you just pushed.

Which effectively gave women across the nation the right to vote.

http://www.history.com/topics/womens-history/19th-amendment

Ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted American women the right to vote—a right known as woman suffrage. At the time the U.S. was founded, its female citizens did not share all of the same rights as men, including the right to vote. It was not until 1848 that the movement for women’s rights launched on a national level with a convention in Seneca Falls, New York, organized by abolitionists Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) and Lucretia Mott (1793-1880). Following the convention, the demand for the vote became a centerpiece of the women’s rights movement. Stanton and Mott, along with Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) and other activists, formed organizations that raised public awareness and lobbied the government to grant voting rights to women. After a 70-year battle, these groups finally emerged victorious with the passage of the 19th Amendment.

There is no argument about this among rational people looking at these events objectively and through a prism of reality.
