Spitzer Out. Do the Same with Oklahoma's Kern!

"I honestly think it's the biggest threat our nation has, even
more so than terrorism or Islam."

That's from an Oklahoma lawmaker's speech about gay people.

You heard right. A secret recording has just emerged of State
Rep. Sally Kern speaking to a Republican group in January, where
she equates both sexual orientation and religion with terrorism.

That her views are merely expressions of her own personal hate towards homosexuals as evidenced by the following quotes:

* "No society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted
for more than, you know, a few decades."

(What society? Obviously she has no idea what she is talking about.)

* "What's happening now is they're going after, in schools,
two-year-olds."

(Two-year-olds?? Where do children that young go to school??? I've heard of Head Start, but this is ridiculous. Again, she doesn't have the slightest idea what she is talking about.)

Also, as a Christian, I am appalled by her remarks towards another religion. All religions have swept a lot of dust under their rugs and have closets full of skeletons...all Christian faiths included. Does she truly believe Islam is as much a threat to us as the Christians were to the Inca and Aztec people?

All this and few people have taken note because 1. it regards Oklahoma, and 2. there are no adulterous affairs involved.

New York governor Elliot Spitzer was forced to resign today after he was caught in a prostitution ring. (At $1,000/hour, she better have been worth it, Mr. Spitzer!) But what he did was NOTHING compared to what Sally Kern is doing. I don't condone what he did, nor his hypocrisy. But it is a matter which pretty much only ruined things with his wife. I don't really care where my governor's penis is, so long as the state is run well. What Kern is doing effects the entire population of her state. And since her arguments are pure fabrications pulled out of the air around her, she seems ill-qualified for the office to which the voters (people voted for her???) have elected her.

But we must remember, this is Oklahoma, where everyone accused Islamic terrorists of the Oklahoma City bombing until it was discovered a man neither Muslim nor from the Middle East was responsible.
