SINNERS! The recession is all YOUR fault!
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,” said Kern.

<...>

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

WHEREAS, alarmed that the Government of the United States of America is forsaking the rich Christian heritage upon which this nation was built; and

WHEREAS, grieved that the Office of the president of these United States has refused to uphold the long held tradition of past presidents in giving recognition to our National Day of Prayer; and

WHEREAS, deeply disturbed that the Office of the president of these United States disregards the biblical admonitions to live clean and pure lives by proclaiming an entire month to an immoral behavior;

1. Thank God for places like Oklahoma
I mean it keeps these fucking nutjobs away from streetcorners in civilized America ranting with a "The End is Nigh" sandwich board.
Perhaps a few more nice F4 and F5 tornadoes would convince this idiot that Gawd hates Oklahoma more than anywhere else.

3. So basically she's blaiming America's woes on her own party?
I'm in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Everything you say against it is probably true.

4. Nothing about adultery?!
Hmmm, why is that I wonder? Maybe adultery isn't a sin in their book. Or murder, thievery, or torture. Just pornography, homosexuality, abortion, illegitimate births.
I have news for these people, there isn't a person among us who hasn't sinned at one time or other. Most of us know we made a mistake, move on and aren't deluded enough to blame the bad economic times on various things seen as sin. Except for the thievery of big business types, which most certainly is a sin.
