To all of those who say they believe in Jesus: Now is the time to stand. Get in scripture, find truth, and change your world. You don't have to go to Africa or Asia to tell people; you don't have to go to South America to show people. We need to breed truth in ourselves so we can breed it in others. Let your light shine. This is not a battle about homosexuality. That's just one fronts of the war. This is a battle for peoples' souls. This is a battle for eternity. I have been convicted by the Truth of God in this. Let's get ready for battle.

get rid of the loon alogn with inhofe, coburn and, sullivan. Republican thought police at their finest.

oops "along"

Thomas Cothran, (8/6/2008 6:54:52 AM)

chase: the separation of church and state is often misrepresented. the law was made so that the state didn't influence the church (such as it did in england and corruption followed). if we get right down to it, our country was founded on christian principles. by your logic, we shouldn't even be allowed to be a country. where would that leave us?

Thomas Cothran, (8/6/2008 6:55:52 AM)

phil: scripture is clearly against homosexuality, along with many other moral wrongs.

stever, (8/6/2008 7:04:59 AM)

Kerns quite clearly doesn't know right from wrong. Her complete lack of knowledge of the Bible and the misinterpretation she spews forth is giving venom to the knuckle dragging rednecks of the state. Sally is showing the state of Oklahoma and the world that she is not mentally well.

Sally it's time to deal with constructive issues. How about an energy policy??? Maybe that wont get you the attention you seem to lack though ... but you would be doing your job is you attended to the states business instead of stewing in your circle of fear.

Please get some professional help and remove the demons that are causing you so much termoil Sally.

If the Oklahoma law makers, would get going on doing business, instead of grandstanding,.hell-fire,.get some state assistance for independent, little oil, producers., get some stripper wells, running.,Get away from Federal government regulations,. and build some oil refineries, right here in Oklahoma., like we used to have.

seymore1965, Tulsa (8/6/2008 7:18:31 AM)

She can't handle gays, a segment of the population. That's not something to brag about or support. She needs to get voted out. It makes me wonder if those who voted for her will vote against her in the next election. I wouldn't want to see her teaching government either.

I'm agnostic. Sally Kern is exactly the reason why I think religion can twist the mind of a person to believe or do anything to others.

pistonbroke, (8/6/2008 7:20:43 AM)

peelumba; I totally agree with you. But I think her dog told her to do this, so we should be glad he didn't tell her to load the guns.

L, (8/6/2008 7:39:45 AM)

It's people like Sally Kern who perpetuate the image of Oklahoma as a backwater, hillbilly haven. Her comments seem to indicate that she is an ignorant, fearful, hate-filled old lady. What in blue blazes is she doing running the state?

chase, (8/6/2008 7:44:15 AM)

she represents the state,but preaches the bible,hence seperation of church and state,thank you

touitsmrs, (8/6/2008 7:44:19 AM)

Kern is the worst kind of representative. Fix the roads, fix our schools, fix the corruption in our state... I cant remember the last time I saw a gay person in the news for killing mass amounts of people or taking down our way of life. Focus on the real problems instead of living in the problems of your own mind !!

I was listening to a person talk the other day about Obama and she was saying " I didnt know the inside of black peoples mouths were black and so is the palms of his ( Obamas) hands." This is a person that talks about God and conservative values all the time but claims to not be racist. People hide in their so called moral values because talking about the color of the inside of a black persons mouth was a racist remark. She laughed during the remarks as if she was making some sort of joke that was funny. I just dont get it.

Kern is the same way with her moral police. Ive been involved with a couple of different denominations in my life time and from the pulpit to the congregation the morals were enough to make me leave. Adultery, child abuse, theft, drinking and drugs, spouse abuse.... then they stand up and pass the plate, communion,preach, pray, lead music, give concerts all while "Praising Jesus name and thanking him for His forgiveness." As far back in recorded history Christians have been mounting wars and killing in the name of God. History has proven time and time again that even though we live in a civilized society that Christians will start a war or kill a group of people that doesnt fall into their line of thinking. Who exactly is the terrorists again? From Catholics to Christian Kings and Govts killings have been and are still being done.

touitsmrs, (8/6/2008 7:57:02 AM)

What about The Family Research Council (FRC),a Christian right non-profit think tank and lobbying organization? The founder of this group( James Dobson, focus on the Family) is part of the same Prince family that used their power (lobbying) and money earned as a high powered christian organization to become known as Blackwater World Wide, the biggest mercenary group in the world that we the USA pay to protect us from all the people that dont believe the way we do. Blackwater is a security company that does the same thing our soldiers used to do but at over 1,000$ a day for the common agent.

"Blackwater is currently the largest of the U.S. State Department's three private security contractors, providing a total of 987 contractors. Of the 987 provided, 744 are U.S. citizens. At least 90 percent of its revenue comes from government contracts, two-thirds of which are no-bid contracts. Blackwater Worldwide is currently contracted by the United States government to provide security services in the Iraq War.

On September 16 2007, Blackwater employees in Nisour Square, Baghdad shot and killed 17 Iraqi civilians, at least 14 of whom were killed "without cause" according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. No charges have been laid."
So I guess it just depends which end of the gun you are on as a Christian and what office you hold and how much you can run your mouth in the papers and on the news.

Patriot, (8/6/2008 8:07:08 AM)

Way to go Sally. Disregard the comments of people calling you a hater while in the same sentence hating. Christian morals are not backwards, ignorant, out of date, hillbilly, twisted or illegal.
Truth is truth and stands the test of time. A stand for family and country regarding moral integrity is the most important stand of all because it is the foundation of our society. Mainstream media wants to tear away the foundation, giving them something to report on. It gives them a job if everything is falling apart.

The Good Doctor, (8/6/2008 8:19:27 AM)

I like how this piece of trash quoted Thomas Jefferson in saying that government should be run by biblical principles, but ignores (or is probably just unedcuated on) the fact that Jefferson thought the idea of "Jesus is Magic" so laughable that he cut out all references to miracles or divinity from the New Testament. Google it. It's called the Jefferson Bible, and its main message is to love one another without qualification.

The fact that she's dealing with "bulging discs and an irritated sciatic nerve" leads me to believe that her body is following her mind and de-evolving into some kind of primitive, lizard-like Homophobosaur.

Also, consider this: if you treated any different based on their sex, race, religion or orientation at your job at McDonald's, you would be FIRED. Why would you elect someone who openly behaves like that to a position of power?

QLC, (8/6/2008 8:22:59 AM)

I wonder if Patriot can even remotely imagine how this country would look if run but the ilk of Kern. Athough we are mighty close with the current president.

It would be fine for them to imprison all the gays, unclean women, dissidents, and any other poorly defined set of standards. Let's see, that would be Iraq.

The only problem patriot is when finally those so-called christian leaders decide they don't like how you mow your yard, or that you eat chocolate and then they come to get you.

If I were the church, I would be demanding separation. They have far more freedoms and power as a church than as legislators.

Sally has had her 15 minutes, and now she must go. When even the candidate is surprised when they win it tells us that there are precious few capable people willing to step up and run our government. I can't even get the taste out of my mouth when i think of Kern, and I live in fear when I think that there are people that would support her.

okielady, Nowata (8/6/2008 8:24:15 AM)

Way to go Sally keep up the good work

The Good Doctor, (8/6/2008 8:32:05 AM)

Can any of you "Christians" give me a truly good reason why you can't ignore the lifestyles of others and mind your own business? Is there a really good reason why you can't keep your stupid pie-in-the-sky, guardian angel stuff to yourselves and let the sane people just live their own lives?

Zoomin-in, Tulsa (8/6/2008 8:37:42 AM)

Why not investigate wasted and stolen tax payer dollars. I don't care to hear about someone's sex life. It is none of my business. It is my business when a state, civic, or federal institution wastes money. Like when Ken Star's investigation only found out about some sex going on in the oval office. And why not indite President Bush for murder and lying to the American people? When like a college hires a bunch of idiots who can't do the work. Or when the streets are so bad and their are those road signs all over -- who is paying for that? We are. No repairs being made just sign rental.

QLC, (8/6/2008 8:44:52 AM)

Good Doctor: I too would love to hear the answer to your questions. I suspect it is for the same reason they killed the indians that wouldn't convert or that we are off in some war killing people of different faiths.

It must be because they cannot stand the light of day that exposes their ignorance in continuing to follow stories from a book of fairy tales written in another era.

The american leadership, both government and religious, have done a marvelous job of selling fear, knowing that the simple minded will turn their life over to whoever says they can protect them. God will provide. Your only defense for this behavior would be to attack the others.

Bluebird48, Sand Springs (8/6/2008 8:46:58 AM)

This woman is an Idiot. She is desperately trying to justify her 'hate'. Morals?!!!

What is a moral? When she is a representative of a people who has riled up controversial hatred towards others based on religion, sexual orientation, race, etc.

Again, morals? Where was she raised is the question and by whom? Christian, Jew, Muslim, Budist, all have different morals.
We live in America. Land of different races, creeds, and morals. Accept it Mrs. Kern. If you push YOUR moral on the people then you are a Communist or Facist. Something our forefathers fought very hard to prevent. Americans Fight and preserve every day for their freedom of expression and way of life.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn died a couple of days ago, apparently she never read any of his books. He warned American about people like her. I suggest everyone look at his "Warnings to the West" novel.

She only Continues to make Oklahoma look stupid, bigoted and backward. :-(

I say we should exile her to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.

The Good Doctor, (8/6/2008 8:48:17 AM)

Sally Kern's speeches remind me of some speeches I saw in an old news reel. The only difference, though, is that the news reel was in black and white, everyone was goose stepping and the narration was in German.

golfwife, (8/6/2008 8:50:45 AM)

What a sad set of posts. Satan must be jumping with joy at the good work his helpers are doing today in the name of 'freedom of speech'.

I had to check twice to make sure that I was not on the Sacramento Bee's web site.

The Good Doctor, (8/6/2008 8:58:12 AM)

Do you say things like "Satan must be jumping with joy" with a straight face? He's fictional! He's in the same realm of reality as Pete's Dragon, the Smurfs and Jafar from Aladdin. You know what is real? The way the rest of the country and world view comments like Kern's and yours as primitive and pathetic.
