HATERS DENIED! Referendum 71, The "end special rights for gays" initiative, makes the ballot!

.
Earlier, I talked about the left's and the gay's abhorrence of democracy and fear of the will of the people.

A few hours ago, Referendum 71, a referendum to roll back the special rights granted people merely because of their lifestyle choices by a socially leftist legislature, qualified for the ballot.

Gays and their supporters put all of their faith into working hard to deny the people of this state the RIGHT to determine this issue.

That is much like the local politicians and bureaucrats who insist on keeping the people from having a direct say in the monstrosity that is the I-5 Bridge and Loot Rail waste of billions. It's that same arrogance, that same"our judgement is superior to yours" crap pushed by our local paper.

The fear of the will of the people is palpable among the leftists. They long for a Stalinist model with that empty-suited, anti-American racist bigot and his cult of personality in charge.

Now, we'll stand back and watch the leftists and gays hurl accusations of bigotry, precisely like they hurl accusations of racism against anyone smart enough to object to Obama's socialist policies.

I have no idea how this is going to turn out. But the more gays and their allies hurl these allegations of "Nazi" and "Brown Shirt," the more likely the outcome will be the same for them as it is the scumbag representing the 3rd District in Congress.

And they won't like that at all.

Why are gays and the left so terrified about the will of the people?

.
Democracy is a precious thing. Millions of us served in the military to defend the will and the ability to express that will at the polls.

Typically leftist scum do all they can to silence that will, such as the cities of Everett and Vancouver when they sued the voters into silence over downtown redevelopment; here, locally, while our despicable waste of wood pulp cheered them on.

Arrogant governments and newspapers; again, like that stain on the science of journalism and the morons running for Mayor of Vancouver, don't WANT to know what the people they would govern want, because of a deep-seated and accurate fear that they are out of touch and that their agenda's bear no resemblance to the agendas of the people.

Now the people are demanding the opportunity to roll back the gay marriage dreams of Seattle liberal Sen Ed Murray and Vancouver fringe-leftist Rep. Jim Moeller.

So, we go through a cumbersome, time consuming and technical referendum process, in this case, Referendum 71, to allow THE PEOPLE to vote on this issue.

It LOOKS like the necessary signatures were gathered to make this happen, leftist slime efforts notwithstanding.

So, what do these scum do?

Instead of fighting it out in the court of public opinion... instead of allowing THE PEOPLE to speak to the issue, These scum file suit.

And, for you more bigoted leftists out there, I don't call them "scum" because they're gay or support the gay agenda... I don't really give a damn about that.

What I DO give a damn about is having our ability to speak to these issues... ANY issues, restricted by special interests scumbags that don't care about OUR rights.

And that is precisely what's happening here.

Hopefully, the courts will share my view, and the scum attempting to thwart our right to speak to these issues will be tossed out on their fringe-left asses.

But in this state... it's hard to say. Sometimes, there is a vast difference between doing the legal thing and doing what the courts demand.

We will see.

Time Magazine links to my "Trouble Brewing" post on Sam Adams, Portland's gay, democrat mayor.

.
Apparently possessed of a bit of a sense of humor, Time Magazine of all people has linked to my blog post More on the trouble brewing (Hah... "brewing..." Get it?) for Portland democrat Mayor Sam Adams.

Their article on Adams, "Can Portland's Gay Mayor Survive a Scandal?" has a "Related" link, and ol' CCP made the cut.

Will wonders never cease?

Gays throwing a fit over Obama's choice of Warren... and why it doesn't matter.

.

Look.... President-Elect Obama has been trying to get us to believe that he will govern from the center.

Now, that's as likely as Vlad. Lenin trying to get a 7-11 franchise, but he's at least going through the motions. And who knows? If Mr. Obama can avoid indictment, at least for awhile, we may get the opportunity to find out.

That said, the more gullible among the left (which means almost every leftist, since to be a leftist speaks to a high level of gullibility to begin with) actually believed that their support of The One would translate into something akin to power. Any thinking sentient being would have known that at about 8:01 pm election night, the left would be kicked to the curb precisely like they were in 2006, when democrats promised the left the moon AND $2 to support them, because, for example, THEY would "end the war in Iraq."

How's that working for them?

The President-Elect's choice of Rick Warren was a brilliant political stroke in a regime that has, so far, shown little brilliance in their handling of the more mundane issues confronting us, such as the Blago Affair, high political buffoonery that even my degree in government couldn't prepare me for.

Warren, author of the massive best-seller "The Purpose Driven Life," was an element of the campaign cycle by virtue of the candidates appearances at Saddleback Church... an appearance that highlighted Mr. Obama's lack of substantive courage of his particular convictions when he indicated that the question of abortion had to be "settled by someone above my pay grade."

By choosing Warren, Mr. Obama hopes to extend the facade of center-governance... for at least awhile.

Leftists generally, and gays specifically, have been throwing a hissy fit since the people of California re-established the "one-man, one-woman" definition of marriage with Prop 8.

So... what's it all mean?

Gay leaders furious with Obama
By BEN SMITH & NIA-MALIKA HENDERSON 12/17/08 5:59 PM EST

Barack Obama’s choice of a prominent evangelical minister to deliver the invocation at his inauguration is a conciliatory gesture toward social conservatives who opposed him in November, but it is drawing fierce challenges from a gay rights movement that — in the wake of a gay marriage ban in California — is looking for a fight.

Rick Warren, the senior pastor of Saddleback Church in Southern California, opposes abortion rights but has taken more liberal stances on the government's role in fighting poverty, and backed away from other evangelicals’ staunch support for economic conservatism. But it’s his support for the California constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage that drew the most heated criticism from Democrats Wednesday.

“Your invitation to Reverend Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at your inauguration is a genuine blow to LGBT Americans,” the president of Human Rights Campaign, Joe Solomonese, wrote to Obama Wednesday. “[W]e feel a deep level of disrespect when one of architects and promoters of an anti-gay agenda is given the prominence and the pulpit of your historic nomination.

The rapid, angry reaction from a range of gay activists comes as the gay rights movement looks for an opportunity to flex its political muscle. Last summer gay groups complained, but were rebuffed by Obama, when an “ex-gay” singer led Obama’s rallies in South Carolina. And many were shocked last month when voters approved the California ban.

The "why it doesn't matter" aspect is simple political math.

First, the left has, once again, been hosed. That's what they're there for: to get hosed. The fact is that 4 years from now, no one will care who gave the invocation at Mr. Obama's inauguration.

Second, the gay community is neither all that large nor all that powerful.

Third... where else do they really have to go?

Gays are taken for granted as much as minorities when it comes to the vote. The GOP's idiotic lack of focus with minority outreach cedes the minority vote; year after year, election after election.

But in the end, the gay voter has no place else to go. Mr. Obama and the democrats know that; even the faux outrage of the gay community over the Warren selection does nothing to cover that fact.

It's pragmatic politics, folks. And kicking the gay community to the curb after each election is just par for this particular course.

Simple, really.
