And while we're talking about lying politicians...
Here's Sally Kern bragging about how she used Oklahoma tax dollars to promote her religion to other people, through her "proclamation" (full of other lies).
You remember it—this one:
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we the undersigned elected officials of the people of Oklahoma, religious leaders and citizens of the State of Oklahoma, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world, solemnly declare that the HOPE of the great State of Oklahoma and of these United States, rests upon the Principles of Religion and Morality as put forth in the HOLY BIBLE; and
BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned, believers in the One True God and His 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 and man with a firm reliance on the leadership and protection of Almighty God; and
BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned, humbly call upon Holy God, our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer, to have mercy on this nation, to stay His hand of judgment, and grant a national awakening of righteousness and Christian renewal as we repent of our great sin.
Who determines what the Bible says about these "principles of religion and morality?" Who decides what is "above reproach in the sight of God and man?" Who decides what is the "great sin," given that Sally's list of facts preceding this is full of such bald deception that it can only be characterized as "you're going to burn in hell"-class lying?
Why, Sally Kern and her pastor husband and their church decide, of course! They speak for God and interpret the Bible, and they demand that their version be codified into law so that people who don't believe as they do can be properly punished, including imprisonment.
None of this is new. We discussed it all last year when, addressing those who'd prefer to dismiss this anti-American lunacy, I explained Why Sally Kern matters.
I honestly love this state and the people in it. I really do. I just don't understand why we keep electing officials who obviously can't stand Oklahomans, or even Americans.
As usual, Jim Inhofe is lying through his teeth
And, as usual, he's lying to advance policies that lead to more illness and death for Oklahomans and all Americans.
Don't expect KFOR, KOCO, KWTV, OETA, or The Oklahoman to bother mentioning any of this to their viewers or readers. If they tell the truth about Inhofe or Coburn, Sally Kern's fans call and yell at them. Avoiding criticism is much more important than the truth.
(Not to Jim Inhofe, of course. To him, nothing is more important than installing policies that hurt Americans. Not his money, not the truth, not God, nothing. It's obviously his only driving purpose in life.)
