Oklahoma Legislature "Petri Dish for Wingnuttery"

[SP Jockey]

We Democrats can only pray this passes and gets even more publicity...

The following is cut-and-paste from:

Dave Weigel at the Washington Independent catches a bizarre resolution introduced by Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern (R) in Oklahoma, whose state legislature he describes as a "petri dish for wingnuttery."

The proposed "Oklahoma Citizen's Proclamation for Morality" would blame the economic crisis on moral collapse.

The resolution specifically cites President Obama's policies as well as his celebration of LGBT Pride month and his decision to end the National Prayer Day service at the White House as key causes of the current recession.

WHEREAS, we believe our economic woes are consequences of our greater national moral crisis; and

On the other hand, glad to see you!

What's Arizona up to? It apparently can't hold a candle to OK and MN!

How about that Michele Bachmann, anyway?

I get quite a lot of amusement out of these things. Here's the best part of a 1992 article about the Snohomish (Washington) Republicans:

"The state's Republicans received national attention last summer after their platform sought to outlaw abortion - and also witchcraft, channeling and yoga." http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/ar...

Yup...Seattle Times, not the Onion.

Reading what she actually said, she makes a good point.
