Oklahoma Republicans Ready to Blame the Recession on ‘Debauchery’

[meegbear]

Jonathan Turley points to a resolution introduced by State Rep. Sally Kern (R) in Oklahoma, into a state legislature that flipped to the Republicans in 2008 and has become a petri dish for wingnuttery.

The “Oklahoma Citizen’s Proclamation for Morality” includes this language about the Democrats and the president:

WHEREAS, we believe our economic woes are consequences of our greater national moral crisis; and

WHEREAS, this nation has become a world leader in promoting abortion, pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse, and many other forms of debauchery; and

WHEREAS, alarmed that the Government of the United States of America is forsaking the rich Christian heritage upon which this nation was built; and

WHEREAS, grieved that the Office of the president of these United States has refused to uphold the long held tradition of past presidents in giving recognition to our National Day of Prayer; and

WHEREAS, deeply disturbed that the Office of the president of these United States disregards the biblical admonitions to live clean and pure lives by proclaiming an entire month to an immoral behavior;

1. This is EXACTLY the sort of resolution Oklahoma Republicans need to pass.

For every Republican vote they solidify, they'll run off 3 or 4 Independents.

2. I agree with them

If not for the immoral behavior of christian conservative politicians, baptist ministers, catholic priests and drunken conservatives who religiously attend church we'd have a balanced budget.

Damn skippy I can whereas too!!

What's christian heritage? Pedophilia? Spouse abuse? Alcoholism? Gay bashing?

8. You are forgetting an important Proverb.....

"Do as I say, not as I do." OK, maybe it wasn't in proverbs...I think I am a spiritualist, still checking the details. But I am surrounded by the enemy and it is damned uncomfortable. Speaking your mind to people with that kinds of sick thinking is dangerous.

I do love your "whereas" a lot!

3. Adult entertainment is a 10 billion dollar industry in the US.

Ban that and the country really will slide into a recession!

And Rep Kern, you can have my porn when you pry it from my cold, dead hands! :evilgrin:

13. Wouldn't It Really Be Something Else

If you're enjoying porn, wouldn't they really be trying to pry something else from your cold dead hands

:P

[Whoa_Nelly]

4. Sally Kern must have a lot of secrets

or why the cognitive dissonance in such great volume from her... :evilgrin:


Actually, Sally Kern is just upholding the Red State Repug values system that keeps her elected by the selectively ignorant and those who are driven by external locus of control.

Hey, Sally. Stop your psuedo-Christian bigotry and hate, or just STFU.

5. Sally Kern acts like she just escaped from some hospital

7. Now that's funny! Oklahoma, officially complaining about divorce, illegitimate births, and child

abuse, when they rank in the top 10 of all states in those categories!

9. shusssssh, they only read the "most Moral" rag available in this State

They will deny and counterclaim. Fox keeps them well informed concerning the truth of America.

11. Now, it is funny - but I hope everyone is eerily reminded of the Nazis when reading this...
