RSSKansas Preemption On Gay Marriage
As reported earlier more and more polls are showing a swing to create a Constitutional Amendment against Gay marriage. On Tuesday, Kansas voters will decide whether to approve a constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage.
Gay marriage is already banned under Kansas law, and the law is not being challenged by anyone. But supporters of the ballot measure say the ban must be put in the Kansas Constitution to insulate it from legal challenge.
Kansas would become the 18th state with such a prohibition in its constitution; 13 others approved bans just last year. Alabama, South Dakota and Tennessee plan elections next year on constitutional bans, and proposals are pending in 13 other states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
This is a continuation of the backlash of having unelected black robed people make law. The law of unintended consequences is that gays may wind up in the end with even less afforded to them than if they just accepted civil unions. The public opinion is certainly not with gay marriage.
The Clinton Legacy
President Clinton was obsessed with his legacy for 8 years among other obsessions. Looks like he has one, need we say more. Wonder where I heard those words before?
Thanks, Bubba
IN ADDITION: Mr Clinton, you may want to stay away from this function. I don’t think you want the side by side comparisons with GWB at a Pope’s funeral. Just a hunch.
Looks as though like minds think alike, Wizbang sees Clinton’s legacy too. It all depends what is, is.

Moldova Presidential Election
In March we had posted on the upcoming Moldovan elections and the furthering historic movements in the old Soviet Republics. This had come to our attention as we noticed we had many viewers come to our site from Moldova. Today they will have presidential elections and take part in the process to voice their opinion by vote.
Gateway Pundit has a nice piece on the momentous elections that are taking place today in Moldova. A great display of democracy in action in the former Soviet Republic, a trend that we are seeing more and more. Good luck.
Hat Tip: Instapundit
UPDATE: Incumbent Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin was re-elected for a new term by the national parliament.
Starvation Was Never an Option For Informed Americans
When will the American public understand that polls can be misleading and in many cases when there is an agenda, flat out wrong and a misrepresentation of reality? There was always something inherently wrong when I saw the polls that stated a majority of Americans wanted to see Terri Schiavo die. I did not believe that American’s who were informed on the subject and if asked intensionally non-misleading questions would want Terri to die. I knew better, but was perplexed by the results of a what we know now was an agenda driven poll.
It appears that David Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin felt the same. Happy to know that I am in good company. We then are presented with a new poll from John Zogby that shows what most of us already knew in our minds.
The Zogby poll found that, if a person becomes incapacitated and has not expressed their preference for medical treatment, as in Terri’s case, 43 percent say “the law presume that the person wants to live, even if the person is receiving food and water through a tube” while just 30 percent disagree.
Another Zogby question his directly on Terri’s circumstances.
“If a disabled person is not terminally ill, not in a coma, and not being kept alive on life support, and they have no written directive, should or should they not be denied food and water,” the poll asked.
A whopping 79 percent said the patient should not have food and water taken away while just 9 percent said yes.
Isn’t it a novel concept that when people are asked a direct question that pertains to a specific situation they answer differently than vague and leading questions designed to evoke a preordained answer.
Look at yet another poll question and how it was answered. Much different than what was consistently told to us by the MSM, shame on them.
When asked directly about Terri’s case and told the her estranged husband Michael “has had a girlfriend for 10 years and has two children with her” 56 percent of Americans believed guardianship should have been turned over to Terri’s parents while 37 percent disagreed.
The MSM is at it again and this time their purposeful misrepresentation of the fact let to Terri’s death being an accepted fact. After her death we find out differently, as David Limbaugh said, “Now They Tell Us”
Let me be the first to say … All of who took part and were behind this charade to sway public opinion and that of law makers, GET READY FOR OUR BACKLASH IN 2006 and 2008.
