Is voting a right? I thought it was a privilege. One that can be revoked by the government.

Well, the ACLU is at it again… they files a lawsuit in Seattle, Washington arguing that the state shouldn’t be able to restrict convicted felons from voting. The state prevents these convicted felons from voting, even after they have completed their full prison term, due to their indebtedness with the state concerning their legal and court fees.

The ACLU is trying to make the point that a person’s “right” to vote shouldn’t be based on financial status. Well, it’s not… it’s based on moral status. Poor people that obey the law are allowed to vote all across America. It seems that if they never had a problem distinguishing right from wrong in the first place, they wouldn’t be in this position. And that is exactly why I don’t want them voting, their diminished capacity to make clear decisions for the good of society.

So why does the ACLU want them to vote so bad? The ACLU is an unappologetic extreme liberal organization and they feel this will gain their party more votes since criminals tend to hold liberal viewpoint since Democrats are far softer on crime.

A spokesperson for the ACLU said, “…our current laws keep former felons from exercising the most basic right of citizenship.” No, our current laws are broken by convicted felons and they are choosing to give up certain privileges that law abiding citizens have.
