The Moderates are Extinct

This is what happens when a Regent University law graduate is able to pass himself off as a rational person and get himself elected as the governor of a state:

“It is my advice that the law and public policy of the Commonwealth of Virginia prohibit a college or university from including ’sexual orientation,’ ‘gender identity,’ ‘gender expression,’ or like classification as a protected class within its non-discrimination policy absent specific authorization from the General Assembly,” [Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli] wrote. Colleges that have included such language in their policies — which include all of Virginia’s leading schools — have done so “without proper authority” and should “take appropriate actions to bring their policies in conformance with the law and public policy of Virginia,” Cuccinelli wrote.

There are no moderate Republicans. After eight years of Bush and Cheney, the moderates are extinct.
