Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe restoring voting rights for roughly 200,000 convicted felons is part of a lauded, national effort to reverse sentencing laws that most affect African Americans. But Republicans are suggesting McAuliffe, a long-time Clinton supporter, went too far by including violent criminals and that his move is a transparent effort to win votes.
The governors executive order allows Virginia felons, includes convicted murders and rapists, who by Friday had completed their sentence and finished supervised release, parole or probation requirements to vote in the swing state in the November presidential elections.

I suspect that, with or without Common Bore, Solzhenitsyn's work will not be studied in "American" gummint skewels. He wrote the gruesome truth about Russia's suffering under "liberalism in a hurry." Asked to explain succinctly what had happened there, he recalled what his elders told him when he was a child: Men have forgotten God. Sounds to me like a nation near me today.
After Solzhenitsyn was expelled from the soviet union when the KGB discovered parts of The Gulag Archipelago, and stripped of his soviet citizenship, and having won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970, Solzhenitsyn toured the west and the United States. He gave the commencement address at (even leftist) Harvard in 1978.
To the immense disgrace of the United States, His Accidency Gerald Ford, historical footnote, political hack extraordinaire, quisling and pipsqueak, REFUSED to meet Solzhenitsyn face to face although strongly urged to do so by his own administration officials Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. Why, meeting with the greatest living author and most honest political historian might hurt the feelings of soviet slavemasters and other enemies of the West and Judaeo-Christian civilization! Or make Feckless Ford look less fashionable to "American" leftwing pseudo"culturati" and lamestream mass media. What might Walter Cronkite say or Eric Sevareid?
See here, thug, fill out this absentee ballot and we will (this time only) TWO bologna samwiches for lunch. Don’t and you can starve for all we care. Response: Gimme dat pen!
So, the airhead and entitled Lt. Governor Bolling sure showed them "right wing extremists" what fer. He may not have been able to be elected governor but he is the belle of the ball down at the polo club. Pip, Pip and cheerio!!! It wasn't just the national GOP-E but also the Virinia GOP-E that stabbed Cuccinelli. Remember this next time they nominate a moral monster like Mitt Romney and then presume to lecture US as to our DUTY to vote GOP-E.
I did not know that.
Sad and embarrassing legacy is often left to us by our political elite class.
Excellent post, Black Elk!
