Liberal extremists continue to paint Gov. Sam Brownback and Republican legislators as indifferent to the concerns of students, parents, the elderly and disadvantaged. No doubt the low-information voters who’ve fallen for the left’s slogans and soundbites see Paul Davis and fellow Democrats as champions of fair play and common decency, the logical and reasonable alternative to what’s spun as callous conservatism.
But nothing is farther from the truth.
Fair, decent, logical and reasonable describe anything but Paul Davis and his party’s agenda. It’s bad enough that Davis is a rabid supporter of killing the unborn, having voted in favor of abortion up to the moment of birth; against parents’ rights to counsel young daughters; against funding pregnancy care facilities for needy parents; and against medical practitioners who refuse to perform abortions. But Paul Davis even voted against outlawing sex-selection abortions, the vast majority of which kill females. And Davis’ disregard for the dignity of women isn’t just legislative; it’s personal. As law enforcement records make clear, Davis was discovered in the back room of a Coffeyville strip club, lights out, being “entertained” by a naked woman; according to police, Davis had been drinking and was “in a somewhat compromising position.” To this day, Davis claims he was there only to meet a client, but at the very moment he was trying to explain his way out of the mess, his “client” was being arrested for dealing drugs. (Much to the chagrin of his supporters, Davis’ behavior is a matter of public record, all of which is available to those with internet access– assuming they have the stomach for it.) It’s clear to see why Democrats haven’t mentioned any “war on women” this year: their own gubernatorial candidate is waging it.
Lest it appear Davis’ penchant for using and discarding people is confined to women, let’s recall his view of human beings in general. Paul Davis was an enthusiastic supporter of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ macabre initiative to establish a human analog to the state’s livestock industry: the cloning, genetic manipulation and breeding of human beings for experimentation and pharmaceutical production. Fortunately, Kansans rejected this appalling plan to play God, but not Davis; he remains a wannabe Frankenstein. That’s yet another reason he’s a strident defender of Obamacare: the Democrats’ socialized medical monstrosity forces Americans to fund not only life-destroying drugs, devices and procedures, but sex-change operations under the guise of civil liberty.
That Democrat power brokers have offered Kansas this unfit candidate shows how little they have to offer. Indeed, their senatorial candidate was so bad, they disposed of him in favor of a so-called independent, Greg Orman. But Orman is just another liberal in sheep’s clothing. With union agitators, radical environmentalists, abortion lobbyists and other out-of-state extremists funding his race against Pat Roberts, it’s clear that he, too, is just another vote for the Obama agenda.
The hypocrisy of the Democrat Party is truly remarkable. They trot out school children to promote candidates who’d be happy to have seen those same youngsters butchered in the womb or in a laboratory; they feature infirm and elderly citizens in campaign ads for candidates who support a socialized medical system that denies treatment to persons considered too sick or too old; and they fly American flags at rallies for candidates who’ve trampled both the US and Kansas Constitutions, abridged the free exercise of religion and violated the natural moral law upon which civilization itself depends. All this dissembling to defeat Pat Roberts, Tim Huelskamp, Sam Brownback, Kris Kobach, Derek Schmidt, Sue Boldra, Travis Couture-Lovelady and other Republicans who’ve mitigated Barack Obama’s devastating tenure and rescued Kansans from the deep fiscal, economic, ethical and moral abyss that Sebelius and her fellow liberals dug for us.
