Mm-hmmm...The Felon Vote

Remember this?

Obama and the Dem leadership is showing no sign of slowing their agenda. Part of this could be because they know they've got a golden opportunity to implement their wildest dreams during this short window of time where they've got super-majorities in Congress. But, I think there's more to it. I think they've got a plan to substantially boost their ranks between now and the 2010 election by tapping two particular groups of people who are already here, already far-Left-leaning, and ready to vehemently join up. Who are they? Illegal immigrants and felons.

I won't even attempt to establish the long history of Democrats advocating for and shilling for both groups of people, trying to get them the right to vote; I think that's well enough established that pretty much everyone will agree with me on that. So, the question is how they're going to get that done now.

The felon vote is already in process, starting with Obama himself. As a Senator, he co-sponsored a piece of legislation called the Count Every Vote Act, which would have done just that. Now that he is President, his first Supreme Court nominee has a track record of supporting voting rights for felons...

Well, looky what we have here:

If you are up to date on your PC lingo, you already know that Columbus Day is imperialist and racist and that we should all be celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day instead. Now the left has come up with a new PC name for felons too.

Next Tuesday, the Justice Roundtable is hosting Legislative Breakfast and Luncheon Briefings for House and Senate staff. Among the featured speakers at both events is Lawrence Garrison who was convicted of convicted of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine and sentenced to 188 months in prison in 1998. Lawrence has since been released, but the Justice Roundtable does not identify him as a felon. Instead he is referenced as a “impacted person.”

So when you are in polite company and find the need to refer to a convicted criminal, remember, they are not called convicts are felons anymore. They are “impacted persons.” You’ve been warned.

The first step in making something acceptable is making it unoffensive. Liberals loooove to redefine words to suit their own meaning, so this is a natural thing for them.

Just wait. It won't be long before the mainstreaming of the idea that felons...er, I mean 'impacted persons'...should be able to vote.

There's my two cents.
