This Week's GTFO Award: Oklahoma

That's right. All you sons of bitches are responsible for the WTF-ness that is your state legislature--you voted for them. And your state legislature is responsible for The Oklahoma Citizen's Proclamation for Morality. Sally Kern--the woman who does not publicly acknowledge her gay son--has decided that America's woes are because we're a bunch of Christless heathens. You have to see it to believe it:

WHEREAS, “This great nation was founded, not by religionists,
but by Christians” (Patrick Henry); and
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;...


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.

Signed on the second day of July in the year of our Lord Christ Two Thousand and Nine.


Man...I don't even know where to begin with this.

First, THIS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION. I don't care if you're a Christian--I guess I am, too, after a fashion. But this country does not have a national religion, and that means we are not a Christian nation. There is no arguing this fact. None. Stop it.

Second, I'm pretty sure that the economic collapse had little to do with Obama's refusal to acknowledge the National Day of Prayer--especially since the collapse began before he was president.

Just...wow.
