Some Christianist nutjob in the Oklahoma legislature is up to her old tricks again:

Last year, Oklahoma state legislator Sally Kern (R) drew well-deserved criticism for an outlandish rant against the gay community, in which she compared homosexuality to “toe cancer” and said “it’s the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam.” “Studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades. So it’s the death knell of this country.”

Though activists responded to her comments with protests, Oklahoma conservatives rallied around her, saying that they “stand with and support Sally.” Now, Kern is back, once again sparking controversy for her attacks on the LGBT community.

Kern is now pushing a “Oklahoma Citizen’s Proclamation for Morality” that blames America’s “economic woes” on “abortion, pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse ,and many other forms of debauchery”:

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 people still wonder why I feel so put upon as a gay man in our oh-so-modern society.

It’s not as if most people consider me to be an evil, predatory monster who is more dangerous to our country than Islam or toe cancer. It’s just some wackadoos in places like Oklahoma!

Thanks, that makes me feel much better.

    And it's a legislator too, not just a regular old wackjob. It's scary that people in that place of power, and with party backing, would be able to spew such nonsense.

    "You're so afraid that people are havin way too much fun, ya know
    Why do you care what I do in my bedroom?
    Why do you wanna know how I screw?
    It seems to me you've got nothing better to do"

    Just another Republican refusing to admit that their party was in control and helped cause the worst economic disaster since the great depression. By raising the standard of hate in the name of the Lord she hopes to muddle the waters and change the target of the public anger.
