OK State Rep. Sally Kern strikes again

RAR RAR RAR RARR! This is fun.

Seems my beloved representitive is at it again, I am sure you all remember her deplorable remarks about homosexuals and "the gay agenda" not too long ago?

I can't take it anymore! How did this woman even get voted in again?!?

What kills me the most is that this state wasn't ever predominately Christian! We were founded as a dumping ground for Native Americans, not to mention there were tribes already here long before Europeans even settled this far!

In recent years this state has tried it's best to reflect respect for the Native Americans, by the Gods this state's name is Algonquin! (I think, IDK it means red people in some native american langauge, maybe Muskogian?)

And don't even get me started on the "We are a Christian Nation" crap, Thomas Jefferson said it better in the Treaty of Tripoli Article 11: "As the Government of the United States of America, is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion....."

So yeah, I just had to get that off my chest, thanks.

And for all you other Oklahomians.. tell her what you think: sallykern@okhouse.gov

I love what you're saying but one correction: we are predominately Christian now. According to Wikipedia Oklahoma is:
* Evangelical Protestant – 53%
* Mainline Protestant – 16%
* Catholic – 13%
* Other – 6%[B]
* Unaffiliated – 12%
Anyway, it's nice to find a fellow Oklahoman here. Sometimes I forget there are people beyond my friend group that have issues with the way this state works.

eh, I guess I didn't state it clear enough, what I should have said is "In the past this state wasn't predominatly Christian, though it is now"

I don't live in OK, but came across this via web surfing. My condolences to you all.
I am an ordained pastor who believes in the rights of ALL!
This kind of thinking - while certainly
"allowed" in our country - is so distorted. I suppose I support her right to think what she wants but the fact she is a representative of a group of people, including those she dismisses or even attacks, is scary.
Yep, condolences to the people of your state.
