Of course, the author doesn't have an accurate working knowledge of what he is talking about. The actual facts prove the opposite of what he describes.

The numerous states that have passed amendments have done so in defense of marriage and other institutions from an attempt to redefine them by a topsy-turvey PC-speak language of the left and some agenda driven gays wishing to make their manner of conduct mainstream. Sensible voters recognize this and merely amend to preserve the definition that marriage and the like have always have so as to prevent this language perversion and the related surmounting of the laws that would go along with such new definitions.

This writer, like countless others, falsely claims that the amendments are worded to "deny" something or take some "right" away, when instead, they merely want to preserve common understanding and in no way prevent homosexual citizens from making arrangments of sensible civil nature.

Likewise, the majority of sensible average voters understand the excess of Phelp's daughter's rhetoric and refuse to accept her as a prudent local council person -- hence her defeat as of a few days ago. America's vast middle is conservative in culture unfailingly if not always in politics and the first council of conservatism is Prudence -- a trait the the whole Phelps miniature circus has always lacked.

Likewise, he doesn't understand race in Kansas. He neglects to mention the Kansas was the original "Free State" and that my forefathers were virtually crazily abolitionist. I can say that as I have a great grandfather accused of being one of those that assisted in the raid at the Pottawatomie Creek. He also thinks that Brown v. Topeka State Board lasted ten years. What a mental midget. Brown and the legacy it left continued into the last decade. Three computer centered elementary schools were built in the most modest areas of Topeka by a board that had a white majority, all as a continuation of honest attempts to right wrongs and live by the rule of law. Guess what? The community was together in praising the results.

Likewise, the issues of state school boards participating in rolling back the general contempt shown to religions in general gives great amusement to the bulk of Kansans that see it as just deserts for educators that have ignored the electorate and promoted Secular Humanism. The vast middle on this question is letting those passionate about the evolutionary excess have their way to a great degree because they feel that educators have failed to serve the electorate in general and they need their chain jerked.

Speaking of jerks, I'll let you know what conditions I find for freedom in London before too long. I'll let you know what has been surrendered since the Glorious Revolution and we will see which locale has taken the wrong turn.
