This woman makes me want to turn lesbian, have an abortion & hire some illegal aliens to mow my yard.
(Okay....Angelina Jolie makes me want to change teams, my tubes are securely tied & I plead the 5th on the yardwork thing...but you get my drift.)

WHEREAS, Sally Kern is preoccupied with other people's reproductive organs;

WHEREAS, Sally Kern conveniently forgets about the separation of church and state;

WHEREAS, Sally Kern remains ripe for spoofing in the national media (again);

BE IT RESOLVED that Oklahoma be embarrassed until this woman is run out of office.

Rep. Kern, Thank you for standing up for the moral issues.I wish there were more people like you. May God Bless you. You have my familys support 100%.

ELENA, TULSA (7/1/2009 3:32:11 PM)

HOW can I sign this wonderful proclamation?

tbgalileo, Tulsa (7/1/2009 10:02:51 PM)

Sorry Sally. Try again. As much as you want to, you can't enforce your religious beliefs as the rule of law. I know you believe yourself to personally speak for god, but I remind you that the Constitution of the United States prevents the kind of religious terrorism you would impose.

ELENA, TULSA (7/2/2009 1:07:07 PM)

COULD someone tell me what website I need to go to sign this proclamation. Thanks

"Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person's life, freedom of religion affects every individual. Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the "wall of separation between church and state," therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society." - Thomas Jefferson

Elena, It's an IQ test....good luck.

Hierophant, (7/2/2009 3:07:02 PM)

Dear Rep. Kern,
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them:
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

FS, Broken Arrow (7/2/2009 3:09:35 PM)

Whereas, if politicians had to follow this code, there wouldn't be any - come to think of it, that's not a bad idea!

Politicians are professional liars, and are most deserving of having a season opened on them - the party makes no difference as there is no difference.

Don't forget to remove the radical sort such as this old biddy. There's not a bit of difference between the Christian radicals and the Muslim radicals - radical is radical.

So, what is so different from what the Taliban offers its people?
She's wanting a one-religion world.

Doesn't leave much room for the rest of us.

All I can say about this is "WOW". Everytime this woman opens her mouth I am sorry that I live in this state.

Hey Eric,

The Talaban will kill you if you don't abide by their rules - the most Christians will do is invite you to a church supper.

PROCLATAION FOR MORALITY
FROM CITIZENS WHO HAVE ACTUALLY READ THE BIBLE

We, the Literate and Reasonable People of the United States who have avoided or escaped the sort of childhood indoctrination that would lead a person to believe that what is done in private with his or her genitals may trigger God’s wrath in the form of tsunamis, terrorist attacks, and economic recession, invoking a morality based on reducing suffering, that the citizens of this country may be free from the enforcement of the brutal, sexist, homophobic and often silly morality of the Bible; to thwart Christians and their co-religionists as attempts are made to pass off dogma as universal morality and erode the separation of church and state; do establish this proclamation and call upon all those who have ever sassed their parents (Det 21:20-21), disobeyed their husbands (Eph 5:22), picked up sticks on a Saturday (Nmbrs 15: 32-36), or worn anything made of a cotton polyester blend (Lev 19:19) to join with us in protecting morality from Christians who attempt to infect it with their perception of what God told them is bad via the Bible as opposed to actual injustice and suffering.

WHEREAS, “…the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion…” (Treaty of Tripoli – Signed by President John Adams); and

WHEREAS, “The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg” (Thomas Jefferson); and

WHEREAS, “A government cannot be premised on the belief that all persons are created equal when it asserts that God prefers some” (U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun); and

WHEREAS, “...texts from the source we call Holy Scripture have been used in the past to defend the divine right of kings and to oppose the Magna Carta; to condemn Galileo and to assert that the sun does indeed rotate around the earth; to justify slavery, segregation and apartheid; to keep women from being educated, entering the professions, voting or being ordained; to justify war, to persecute and kill Jews; to condemn other world religions; and to continue the oppression and rejection of gay and lesbian people." (Bishop John Shelby Spong); and

WHEREAS, “Secularists have no desire to extol the Bible above its merits, nor to depreciate it below its deserts. We gladly admit that it contains some useful precepts; but these, as a rule, are intermixed with so many teachings of an injurious character that their beauty is often overshadowed and their utility annulled. Its coarse language in many places renders it unfit for general perusal, and destroys its value as a standard for every-day life.” (Charles Watts);

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we, the reasonable citizens of this country, solemnly declare that a system of morality based solely on the Bible would most certainly be considered evil by today’s moral standards: and

BE IT RESOLVED that the HOPE to which we cling, that the laws and morals of these United States will not devolve to the point of Christian theocracy, rests upon our constitutional religious freedom, the separation of church and state; and a thorough reading of the Bible.

Mike S, Tulsa (7/2/2009 5:11:24 PM)

I do believe that an elected official signing that would come very close to violating my 1st Amendment right to separation of church and state.

"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State" - Thomas Jefferson

Let me repeat part of that... "that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions".

Mike S, Tulsa (7/2/2009 5:17:21 PM)

Just read the signatures on the petition website... Sally has NOT signed this herself.

Duck, Skiatook (7/2/2009 5:47:36 PM)

The opinions of men do not alter the truth. God sent Jesus to help us since the laws of the old Testament were too opressive for men to be able to follow.God can make the rules because God created the game. No one really wants a theocracy-all they want is for the government to recognize and respect what the founding fathers stood for and that was the belief in a heavenly father who has given us a life of freedom and self determination.Non-believers want to to do and say whatever they want whenever they want in the name of freedom of speech but when someone says something they don't like excercising the same freedom of speech they cannot respect that, and want them to shut up and sit down.We need to remember that in America "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the ddeath your right to say it". Thank God for a place like this.

Ron Ballew, Lawton (7/2/2009 10:17:34 PM)

I read the actual proclamation and it makes a very good statement for living a good and healthful life.

There is nothing legislative about a proclamation of guiding principles of the code of behavior of what a good person should live by.

People that don't like this proclamation are probably violating its principles and should feel guilty about their behavior and hopefully change their behavior.

Ron Ballew, Lawton (7/2/2009 10:24:46 PM)

This nation should become a world leader in COMBATING abortion, pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse, and many other forms of debauchery, instead of PROMOTING them.

osupokie, Tulsa (7/3/2009 7:58:07 AM)

Question for everyone. How many "Christians" (including Sally) do you think have not done any or all of this debauchery? Abortion? hmmmm Divorce? hmmmmm. Illegitimate births? hmmmmmm. Child abuse? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Sex trafficking? hmmmmmmmm Audultery? hmmmmmmmm Pornography? a big fat hmmmmmmmmmm.
Are there any truly rightous people left to sign this proclomation?

What is so wrong with morality, respect for others and self respect for one self? What is so wrong with reaching out to others in common decency and consideration for them? What is so wrong with lending a hand of friendship once in awhile to others? What's wrong with a smile once in awhile for the world ? What's wrong with taking responsibility for the pregnancy you helped to create instead of running to the nearest abortion clinic? After all that is a life just as much as yours. Though it isn't a seen life but still a life, not just a blob to be discarded. Think about it real hard, okay? My thanks to Rep. Sally Kern for standing up for her righteous beliefs in this fallen world. She represents many of us who feels just like she does. You go Girl. Anonymous for Jesus
