Oklahoma state Rep. Sally Kern is famous for hating the Gays this one time, on YouTube, last year. In a hilarious recorded message to supporters, she claimed that the Gay Cancer was going to kill everyone, making the Gays “the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam.” And then everyone kept calling her son gay, which he denied, although he was “affiliated with the Des Moines School of Metaphysics,” which means: gay as the dickens. But this is all old news. The new news is that Ms. Rep. Kern has introduced a delightful new bill into her legislative chamber!
Screw it, here is the FULL text of the “Oklahoma Citizen’s Proclamation for Morality:”
OKLAHOMA CITIZEN’S PROCLAMATION FOR MORALITY
We the People of Oklahoma, Invoking the guidance of Almighty God, in order to
secure and perpetuate the blessing of Liberty; to secure just and rightful Government; to promote
our mutual Welfare and Happiness, do establish this proclamation and call upon the people of the
great State of Oklahoma, and our fellow Patriots in these United States of America who look to
the Lord for guidance, to acknowledge the need for a national awakening of righteousness in our
land.WHEREAS, “It is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon
which Freedom can securely stand” (John Adams); andWHEREAS, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with
human passions unbridled by Religion and Morality” (John Adams); andWHEREAS, “Our Constitution was made only for a Moral and Religious people” (John

the Ten Commandments of God” (James Madison); andWHEREAS, “Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that
belongs to us by the laws of God (Benjamin Franklin); andWHEREAS, “God who gave us life gave us liberty and can the liberties of a nation be
thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the
people that these liberties are of the Gift of God” (Thomas Jefferson); andWHEREAS, “Whether any free government can be permanent, where the public
worship of God, and the support of Religion, constitute no part of the policy or duty of the state”

God” (Noah Webster); andWHEREAS, “The principles of genuine Liberty and of wise laws and administrations

only Son, call upon all to join with us in recognizing that “Blessed is the Nation whose God is the
Lord,” and humbly implore all who love Truth and Virtue to live above reproach in the sight of God

Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer, to have mercy on this nation, to stay His hand of judgment,

Ha ha, her son is gay.

I’ll introduce something right into her legislative chamber, all right.
Damn this kind of thing makes me wish I was Canadian.
Ms. Rep. Kern has introduced a delightful new bill into her legislative chamber!
I would rather not hear about her perverted sexual practices.
NOT LONG ENOUGH!
How about that? Thank you, Oklahoma, where the wind goes sweeping through someone’s ears.
She’s got the Bachmann “crazy eyes.” Nuff said.
She’s probably frustrated that as soon as the gays hit the state line, they break into show tunes.
Was there a virgin sacrifice right after the reading?
That’s helpful. Stringing together a bunch of out-of-context quotes from the founders will definitely solve everything!
Thank you, Nixon!
Always blaming America first, these people.
Apparently at least the Patrick Henry quotation is fabricated:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/capital.asp
“Whereas” is the new “Also”
So is Noah Webster an honorary Founding Father now? Some sort of Founding Father emeritus? I could’ve sworn he largely contributed to American society by writing a book consisting entirely of critiques of our collective bad spelling.
Kern is clearly a demrat in disguise. All the real Repubs these days are also blaming Sanford’s affair on Noobama’s stimulus package, a la Rush:
http://jonathanturley.org/2009/06/26/stimulating-sex-russ-limbaugh-blames-sanford-affair-on-obama-economic-policies/
Once again, lessons on morality from someone nobody wants to fuck anyway.
Someone should name a desert after her.
Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one-half the world fools and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth.
– Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, 1781-82
In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect ‘a wall of separation’ between church and state.
– Hugo Black, Everson v. Board of Education (1947)
Oh, and she needs to be sent to live with the Taliban for a while.
So Jews are immoral according to the State of Oklahoma? Or did I miss something there>
[re=351324]Crazybroad[/re]: This kind of thing makes we wish I were dead.
Abortion is debauchery? I guess you can get pregnant from an orgy. Repent! the end of the world is nigh!
Give her a real job making the wind turbines work in OK.
“She never stumbles … she got no place to fall …”
And we call the Taliban terra-ists? Christian Mullahs these…
WHEREAS, I for one appreciate that she has taken it upon herself to ask the One True God to forestall the inevitable day upon which he will blast me to smithereenies.
More available time to lay unholy ass-slammings upon my interns is always appreciated.
Thank you for the temporary reprieve, crazy lady!
[re=351352]mamandesfilles[/re]: If they agree not to drink anymore babies’ blood, then they can stay in the state, but they are still going to Hell.
The Sally Kern-Alan Keyes theorem: the more a parent hates on the gays in the public arena, the queerer their kid becomes.
Not enough random capitalizations.
I protest. Without a string of “Whereases” quoting Founding Fathers Oral Roberts, Tim LaHaye and Karen Wheaton, this bill is woefully incomplete.
Can we just focus on the “many other forms of debauchery” and not get into the Jeebus stuff?
We don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don’t wack our privates to online porn
We don’t kill our babies down at the clinic;
We like livin’ “right”, and bein’ dumb.
I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even dummies can run the State
We still wave our piety down at the courthouse,
And crystal meth’s still the biggest thrill of all
We don’t make a party out of lovin’;
We prefer wife swapping or tappin’ feet;
We don’t care ’bout the melting arctic ice caps,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even dummies can run the State
We still wave our piety down at the courthouse,
And crystal meth’s still the biggest thrill of all
Leather thongs are still in style for manly undies;
Where crazy ass fundie proclamations are common.
Trucknutz’s are still the hot thing on trucks,
And the kids still take their chasity vows.
We still wave our piety down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.
You cannot petition the lord with crazy-assed proclamations.
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;
Clearly, I am not doing my part to promote and promulgate debauchery. Therefore, I must immediately go home and engage in abortive buttsecks with a 5-year old. Hey, it’s what Michael Jackson would’ve done.
Yes! Stonings! It could be just like The Lottery.
Bitch outta be thanking her almighty enabler Bill Gates for inventing the copy and paste buttons in her copy of MS Word 1997.
Kern’s views differ from those of his mother, although he applauds her for standing up for what she believes, and thanks his parents for his good upbringing. His father is a Baptist minister in Oklahoma City.
He said the purpose of sex is reproduction, and it is the function of the animal body.
“But we are more than animals, and we can use sex for a tool of deep relationship with another person.”
He then added, “besides, it isn’t gay if you let another dude suck your d**k, metaphysically speaking.”

She had to make this move. She just heard that Iran has almost perfected breeding the first Gay Muslim.
This woman is bat shit enough to work for the Family Research Council. The proclamation was a little too obtuse for one as dim as me. Will someone please tell me what our great sin, cited in the penultimate paragraph, is so I can feel guilty about it? As a Jew I try to feel guilty about everything.

If everyone in the U.S. magically became white heterosexual Christians overnight, they’d change the rules again.
Nah, they’d just go back to hatin’ on the Catholics and the Irishers and the Germans and what-not.
You know, like Ben Franklin said:
why should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion.
Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased.

[re=351472]IceCreamEmpress[/re]: Ben had nothing on Jefferson’s poetic expressions of freedom and liberty:
“Are not the fine mixtures of red and white, the expressions of every passion by greater or less suffusions of colour in the one, preferable to that eternal monotony, which reigns in the countenances, that immoveable veil of black which covers all the emotions of the other race? Add to these, flowing hair, a more elegant symmetry of form, their own judgment in favour of the whites, declared by their preference for them, as uniformly as is the preference of the Oranootan for the black woman over those of his own species. The circumstance of superior beauty, is thought worthy attention in the propagation of our horses, dogs, and other domestic animals; why not in that of man?” Notes on the State of Virginia (1781—82), in Writings, p. 264.

Is Obama’s month of debauchery part of the stimu-sparkin plan?
[re=351388]SnarkNotFark[/re]: I think she’s talking about Black History Month
“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;”
LOL at how these Oklahomans have never heard of places like western Europe (same sex marriage), Eastern Europe (sex trafficking), Southeast Asia (sex trafficking again), the Middle East (sex trafficking yet again), and Earth (all those other forms of debauchery). Yep the United States is the world leader, if your discount every other place. Which is kind of easy to do when you’re from Oklahoma.
That’s the beauty of quoting dead people, they can’t complain about being misquoted or quoted out of context. John Adams, a Unitarian, is subversive even in death.

I thought Swedes were kinda white.
To the eye of prejudice, they’re “swarthy”. Just like those damned Germans.

There was just a whole bunch of crazy in that proclamation. More than I can possibly handle without a drink or two. I’ll be right back.
Wonkette is just making this shit up – right? No one is that bat-shit crazy and stupid also.
let me guess.,,’oklahoma is full of stupid redneck hicks’ ‘how can they be so stupid’ ‘lets wipe it off the map’ ‘tee hee hee’.
did you know that the parking meter was invented in oklahoma? by an african american man?
did you know that sipuel vs board of regents opened up law schools to african american students and Sipuel was a woman?
wikipedia says:
“Her brother planned to challenge segregationist policies of the University of Oklahoma, but went to Howard University Law School in Washington, D.C. to not delay his career further by protracted litigation.
Fisher was willing to delay her legal career in order to challenge segregation. In 1946, she applied at the University of Oklahoma and was denied because of race. Two years later, in 1948, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Sipuel v. Board of Regents of Univ. of Okla. that the state of Oklahoma must provide instruction for blacks equal to that of whites. Thurgood Marshall acted as the head NAACP lawyer for this case. The case was also a precursor for Brown v. Board of Education.”
so there you have it. while Sipuel was fighting segregation and racism in oklahoma, harvard was still pondering whether having a vagina meant you could read books and write papers.
From the link to where they call her son gay: “First of all, no one’s sexuality is anyone’s business. It is not even my mother’s business,” he said. “I practice celibacy to give to my God,” he said.”
So basically, he wants to give it to his god. > His god is Jesus. > He wants to give it to Jesus. > He is gay, gay, gay. (And it’s none of his mother’s freaking business).
“I practice celibacy to give to my God,” he said.” What, is her son Morrissey?
[re=351889]decora[/re]: Really? You’re proud that an Oklahomie invented the parking meter? Really?
Who the hell is Stephen Story? Must have missed a founding dude somewhere. Could someone just shove the homosexual agenda down her throat and shut her up? Also?
Decora has a point – stupid, mean and crazy has no specific state address. See, also: my lovely state of California and Proposition 8.
[re=351889]decora[/re]: The “points” you made in no way change the fact that this woman is bat shit, mouth breathing, gay son hating insane.
[re=351939]nestor[/re]: Well, yeah. You have a point, too.
[re=351889]decora[/re]: Yes, we get it. Oklahoma has many black friends and a bi-racial girlfriend, so we don’t think Oklahoma is a racist when it tells black jokes. But what does any of that have to do with your raving, batshit Jesus-goblin, anti-gay state legislator and her fun new manifesto?
Whereas, we have forsaken good American catsup for godless foreign salsa.
Back in the day, we had us some good sectarian strife, rather than this bland, overbroad generic “Christian” category. If we want to go back to our religious roots, can we go back to Baptists, Quakers, Methodists and Puritans using the Revolutionary War as a pretext to shoot at each other? Really, all they could really agree on is that the Pope was Satan himself.
Hey, you’d be gay too if you were her son.
[re=351492]desertwind[/re]: Amen!
What godless, depraved and hellishly blood-soaked rites must they perform;
and what hideous, nameless and tentacled abominations must they invoke
that the good Lord should so regularly attempt to WIPE THEM FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH?!
[re=351741]Vartan84[/re]: And let’s not be ungrateful for Japan’s contributions to pornography, nor Eastern Europe’s overabundance of hot, raunchy pornstars!

[re=351741]Vartan84[/re]: Europe (same sex marriage)
Actually, there’s no more US states that allow gay marriage than there are European countries that do so. Nebraska is officially more godless than France!
[re=352094]Guppy06[/re]: I meant now more US states (6 versus Europe’s 5). Feh.
WHEREAS, “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.” (Friedrich Nietzsche, T3h Gay Science aphorism 125)
I know, it’s childish to throw the only Nietzsche quote that everyone knows (although they don’t recall the rest of the para, apparently), but it only seems appropriate.
John Adams: “We have now, it Seems a National Bible Society, to propagate King James’s Bible, through all Nations. Would it not be better to apply these pious Subscriptions, to purify Christendom from the Corruptions of Christianity; than to propagate those Corruptions in Europe Asia, Africa and America! … I see in every Page [of the Bible], Something to recommend Christianity in its Purity and Something to discredit its Corruptions. … The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount contain my Religion.”
John Adams: “Let the human mind loose. It must be loose. It will be loose. Superstition and dogmatism cannot confine it. ”
Thomas Jefferson: “I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.”
John Marshall: “The people made the Constitution, and the people can unmake it. It is the creature of their own will, and lives only by their will.”
I’m an old, so I must ask. Which orifice is ‘her legislative chamber’?
This barely made the news here in Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago. The local conservative rag buried the story on the back pages and got overwhelmingly negative reader comments about Kern. Seems that Sally has become like Fred Phelps and the God Hates Fags mouth-breathers…the shock has worn off and she’s largely ignored.
As for the more vicious posts, here’s a suggestion and no, it doesn’t involve a bag of dicks…have a listen to Randy Newman’s “Rednecks” or Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama”. Nastyass comments tend to make people defend stupid beliefs.
If some of you are just venting, well, knock yerself out. I would advise, however, against antagonizing people just for laffs. You’re just feeding The Stupid.

wHEREAS, if we just plagiarize parts of the declaration of Independence, and quote a bunch of dead white Founding Fathers out of context…..
[re=352157]stanpan[/re]: New around these parts, eh? To badly paraphrase Chrissy Hynde, “When you own a small chunk of cyberspace, the snark just comes with the scenery.”
Nice to meet you, DL. Yeah, I realize this is the land o’ snark. I’ve loitered around this site for a while, and just noticed that some of the comments are pretty angry.
If you haven’t read Frank Zappa’s autobiography, check out his chapter on church and state. The Founders, Zappa write, were not “bunch of jeezo-grovelers whimpering for guidance from The Unseen Hand.”
Erm, what about separation of church & state?
The Founders were pretty much unanimous in their support of separation of church & state. One of this nation’s first treaties was with the Barbary States (aiiee! Socialist Muslins!) Pres Washington made sure to portray the U.S. as not having a state religion. “The United States is in no sense upon the Christian doctrine”, he wrote.
