I hate to make a suggestion that I know, before I suggest it, will never be implemented in my lifetime. \u00a0On the optimistic side, at age 78, that might not be so long. \u00a0It might have a chance in my grandchildren\u2019s lifetimes.<\/p>

If there is any one major social factor that is at the root of the present, and worsening, chaos in America, it is voter eligibility. \u00a0We allow just anybody to make for us our most vital civic decisions, including those concerning taxes and war. \u00a0The system was workable when the great majority of Americans knew the basics of representative government, had some familiarity with our history, and shared our cultural values. \u00a0Those days are gone.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s voters include a large, diverse group of disinformed people. \u00a0Too many of them are historically illiterate, and all too often hostile to the values of Western civilization. \u00a0How that came about, whether through erosion or explosion, is not the immediate question. \u00a0Not only is it a fact, but it will get worse, as illegal voting is becoming all but institutionalized under leftist policies.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of our nation, voting was a right, but a right with attendant responsibilities. \u00a0The restriction of voting eligibility to landowning males seems downright Neanderthal today, and that is not what I am advocating \u2014 but the underlying principle was a necessary foundation of civic life. \u00a0Landowners had an obvious stake in the policies of government. \u00a0Eventually, that principle was extended to other citizens, to the professions and skilled tradesmen who were building our republic. \u00a0They understood that freedom does not consist of getting free things, and indeed, they understood that nothing the government gives us is free anyway.<\/p>\n

I have seen statistics that say women vote differently from how men do, and that women are more likely to favor politicians who promise to protect them, which is a duty of their men. \u00a0Let us remember, however, that it was men who enacted the Nineteenth Amendment and thereby yielded to women the power to vote.<\/p>\n

Instead of allocating voting rights by sex, I would assign them according to competence. \u00a0It has been duly noted by others that many voters are unable to pass the test required of foreigners seeking citizenship. \u00a0Given the enormous consequence of voting, why isn\u2019t that test a minimum requirement?<\/p>\n

The question arises: If someone devises a better system of voting, how will it ever be accepted? \u00a0Few will vote for it. \u00a0Surely, without public support, there is no way to reform the system.<\/p>

The answer to that question is a troubling one. \u00a0The present system will not reform itself, and any attempt to replace it by violating the Constitution not only is doomed to failure, but would bring about something even worse than what we have now.<\/p>\n

Must we stand by and watch for our society to collapse of its own weight? \u00a0That prospect is terrifying. \u00a0Any serious study of history provides numerous examples of the reigns of terror that inevitably accompany social collapse, especially during and after revolutions.<\/p>\n

What we can do instead is educate as many people as possible, to train them, to impart to them the spiritual and social values that will be needed once that collapse inevitably occurs. \u00a0They must be ready to step in when needed. \u00a0I know that this may sound dramatic, even apocalyptic, but realistically, we cannot just sit out and hope for the best.<\/p>\n

There are things we can do now to mitigate the future conflict that will precede a renewed American republic. \u00a0We can push for immigration reform, beginning with the mass expulsion of those who have no right to be here. \u00a0We begin with violent criminals, then fraudsters, and then those who bleed us dry on tax-funded social programs. \u00a0Make no mistake: We must continue to deport every possible illegal alien, even the nice ones.<\/p>\n

For the present, and later at the critical moment, we must prepare ourselves by becoming the only kind of citizen that can rebuild a lost republic. \u00a0We must inculcate in ourselves the virtues that our Founders exhorted us to develop, and which they themselves imperfectly exemplified.<\/p>
