Here's a good one. And before anyone asks why I care about Maryland, there are two reasons. Number one, I own a house there, and number two, it's part of the United States.

Democrats in Maryland are trying to pass a bill that would prohibit the state from prosecuting anyone under the age of 25 for FELONY MURDER.

There are several so-called reasons the Democrats are using to justify this ridiculous notion, but the one that stood out for me the most is that the Democrats argue that the brains of people under the age of 25 have not yet fully developed so they can't and shouldn't be held responsible for their actions.

So let me agree with that premise for argument's sake for just a moment. Brain development is not the problem... It's not nature, it's nurture... and if one wants to argue the age at which sufficient development occurs related to nurturing, then today I'd say they would raise that threshold to at least 35 years of age.

And if one adds the preferred political party affiliation of Democrat to the evaluation criteria, then the age stipulation can be removed completely. It's very difficult to imagine any rational person supporting Democrat policies these days.

If someone is judged to be incompetent to the point of not being accountable for their actions, then they are certainly not competent enough to vote. If we were to remove the right to vote from the people being described, regardless of the specific parameters used to classify them, the problems in this country would disappear, practically overnight.

Here's the supporting data. In the 2020 election, 64% of the people between the ages of 18-29 voted for Joe Biden. I don't have the statistic, but I'm sure it's MUCH higher if that range were limited further to 18-25 years of age...

Voting is a right that is given to ADULTS in this country. If a person is not being held accountable for their actions, then they should not be considered an adult and should NOT be able to vote.

Oh, by the way, they shouldn't be able to run for public office either.

One cannot have one's cake and eat it too... If you're not accountable, then you can't be given any responsibility.

1 It is essential that if the age of responsibility is moved up, the voting age should also be raised accordingly. The Left cannot have their cake and eat it too. Thank you for bringing up a very important point. | Click here
