Virginia Right!

This is enough to make you ill. My friend Shaun Kenney has a new post up over at Bearing Drift with the sordid details. Terry McAuliffe and the Virginia Democratic Party should be ashamed to condone Pedophiles and some are even advocating making these child molesters a “protected” class and are calling pedophilia a “sexual [...]

The Progressive Socialists find American society inherently unfair. All of their waking thoughts are about how they can make things more fair, equitable and just, in their own minds.

And to progressives, those that have less are always the victim, the wealthy are always the oppressor who needs to be “taught a lesson”. And remember, progressives must have a victim to do anything. Race, gender and financial class are their favorites, but sexual orientation is growing in favor. Christians can never be victims, as they must be loathed by decree.

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli spoke at George Mason University’s Law School last night. Protesting outside were about 50 gay rights supporters, who did not attend the speech.

RICHMOND – Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling today issued the following statement regarding employment discrimination policies in the Commonwealth:
“In recent days, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli issued a letter to Virginia’s colleges and universities informing them that their internal employment discrimination policies could not prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation because such prohibitions were not authorized under state law.

One would think that if discrimination on a basis of sexual orientation were such a problem that the state need include protections in our laws that the gays protesting at Monroe Park at the VCU Campus would fear reprisal and dismissal from school.

Ironically, their protest actually proves that protection is unnecessary and that the General Assembly killing such measures was the appropriate response.

The bills advocating the state grant special status to gays, adding “sexual orientation” to Virginia’s anti-discrimination laws were one.

Late last week it was revealed that Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli sent a letter to the state’s taxpayer funded colleges and universities informing them that, without General Assembly approval, they do not have the authority to issue non-discrimination policies that include sexual orientation.

Ah, Virginia’s Loony Left Wing politics are at it again. The best way to describe the lefty gaggle to someone outside of Virginia is this:

Take one part Rocky Horror Picture Show, add one part Alice in Wonderland and dump it into an echo chamber. Shake, do not stir.

And there you have what passes for News the left can use.

In the case in point, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli sent a letter to Virginia Colleges and Universities informing them that if they have school policies prohibiting discrimination based on Sexual Orientation, Virginia has no such law on the books (despite 25 attempts since 1997). Several inquires prompted the Attorney General’s response.

When President Clinton put in place the don’t ask don’t tell policy years ago, many saw this as a compromise. Openly serving as a “gay” was prohibited, but gone were the policies allowing interrogation of someone suspected of being a homosexual.

Ok. It looks like Senator Frederick Quayle has officially voted himself onto the RINO list (Republicans in Name Only).
