A tea party leader in Mississippi rues the day that women won the right to vote. Women, she argues, are just too emotionally unstable and untrustworthy for the franchise. Yes, you read that right: The person making the case against women's suffrage is Central Mississippi Tea Party President Janis Lane, herself a beneficiary of the 19th Amendment.
In an interview this summer with the Jackson Free Press, Lane explains that she votes to counteract the insanity that other women regularly unleash at the polls.
"There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women," she says. "They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person. I do not see that in men."
I don't suppose there's any need to ask for her thoughts on women in combat.
"Let's take this country back!" is a rallying cry for the tea party. Yep, back. As in backward.
