Did you feel everyone was against you for standing up for Terri Schiavo? (Rightmarch.com) It seems like all of the polls leading up to the forced starvation death of Terri Schiavo made it appear Americans had formed a consensus in favor of ending her life. The media is still using those numbers to attack conservatives and Republicans in Congress who led the fight to save Terri's life. It turns out those poll questions were Biased against Terri!

A new Zogby poll with fairer questions shows the nation clearly supporting Terri and her parents and wanting to protect the lives of other disabled patients. A whopping 79% said the patient should not have food and water taken away while just 9% said yes. In addition, the poll also lent support to members of Congress who passed legislation seeking to prevent Terri's starvation death and help her parents take their lawsuit to federal courts.

We didn’t see the real poll results from unbiased polling that shows how Americans really felt on this issue. and so far the media has refused to apologize for reporting highly biased polling results.

Terror cover-up in Texas City? (Prophecy Watch) Within hours of the explosion of the Texas City oil refinery that killed 15 and injured more than 100, FBI officials were ruling out terrorism as a cause.

While terrorism may have played no role in the March 24 BP plant blast, law-enforcement officials familiar with investigations of this kind tell Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin it would have been impossible to make such a snap determination based on facts, they point out that it was not until eight days after the deadly explosion that the first federal chemical and safety investigators even visited the blast site. Even local police have conducted little in the way of a probe – leaving all of the primary forensic investigation to BP officials.

Local police say they don't have the expertise to investigate something like this explosion. and they trust BP and other petrochemical companies to do the right thing up front.

"How do you rule out one possibility when you don't have any idea what the cause is?" asked one federal investigator familiar with such disaster probes. "That same unwillingness to examine terrorism as a possibility in 2001 may have contributed to the disaster of Sept. 11," said one source.

At least two Islamic terrorist groups have attempted to take responsibility for the BP explosion in Texas City. But the FBI denies they had any involvement in the blast.

Judicial Impeachment Mulled (Stuart Shepard-Citizen Link) Some family advocates are raising the specter of removing federal judges who legislate from the bench, hinting at the possibility of impeaching federal judges—as provided for in the Constitution—as part of the fallout of the Terri Schiavo case. While the U.S. Constitution established the Supreme Court, all other federal courts were created by Congress—giving it some power over what happens in the judicial branch of our government.

Let Us Pray Without Ceasing (David Barton’s article in part at CBN) George Washington, who laid the cornerstone of our Capital building, said the two things that made our politics prosper were religion and morality -- the two things we should never separate. So when we think of government we ought to think about our foundations. Psalms 11:3 says if the foundations are destroyed what’ll the righteous do.

The other thing we ought to think of is that Bible tells us in 1 Timothy 2:1 and 2 the first thing we’re to pray for [is our] leaders and those in authority. It doesn’t tell us to pray first for our family, our church, or our kids. It says first to pray for our leaders and those in authority. God puts a high emphasis on what goes on in government, Christians should have the same emphasis.
