No one is teaching facts anymore (like evolution), they’re teaching indoctrination (like creation science).
So… Ancient Greece, which embraced homosexuality, only lasted two decades?
Oklahoma is O-Tay!
If gays are more dangerous than Al Qaeda, does this mean we’ll be invading Oklahoma? Be afraid, be VERY afraid.
Why does one’s sex life merit any attention at all?
If there is a homosexual ‘agenda’ does that mean there is a heterosexual agenda or a celibacy agenda?
(and no, I’m not gay)
Oklahoma… where your tin-foil hat fits tighter!
She should come down to Houston where kids are expected to say the Prayer to the Texas/American flags. I couldn’t believe they had added a “One state under god” verse in the Texas pledge. Talk about indoctrination: At one school I work at, as soon as the morning announcements come on the speakers, kids freeze in their tracks wherever they are and put their hand over their hearts until the magical voice from above stars reciting the pledges.
And every school seems to have at least one Christian “club” that meets before or after school. So what are they worried about?
How much do you want to bet that in the past, or maybe even still, she was a fan of the whiskered biscuit?
#1 – Are you implying humans evolved from apes? Contrary to popular belief, that has yet to be considered fact.
I would tell her the same as I would tell Dog the Bounty Hunter
“ever heard of YouTube?”
[Duplicate comment. – Deleted. – ed.]
[Duplicate comment. – Deleted. – ed.]
do they still make yokels like this? must involve moonshine.
Did anyone else catch this line:
“I honestly think it’s the biggest threat even that our nation has even more so than terrorism or Islam, which I think is a big threat, OK.”
“The very fact that I’m talking to you like this here today puts me in jeopardy”
Well, wouldn’t that statement be a good clue that she just needs to shut her pie hole?
[Duplicate comment. – Deleted. – ed.]
[Duplicate comment. – Deleted. – ed.]
But she said very clearly she isn’t anti-gay. 😉
She’s just another in a long line of conservative bigots, aka “values voters”, aka Conservative Christians, aka hatemongering scumbags, who are destroying the Republican Party.
Even though I am a liberal and a Democrat (despite those two things not actually being the same thing) I strongly believe that the Republican party prior to the infestation of self-righteous moralists was an important voice. We need the party of William Buckley and not the party of Ralph Reed.
Republicans, you were the balance that kept American progress on an even keel. Clean up your party and come back to work.
So Bobbo,
It’s ok to be a bigot as long as your a liberal bigot?
Not all republicans are NeoCons just like all Democrats are not NeoLibs.
NeoCons == NeoLibs but coming from opposite ends of the number line. The goals are the same but the justifications are different.
Give me a Constitutional government like Kucinick (Sp?) and Ron Paul are working for.
Tell me why the Democrats have the majority in the Senate and House but haven’t saved us from the Bush NeoCon Whitehouse? In fact they have been enabling Bush’s misbehavior. The only people who have consistently stood up to Bush has been Kucinick and Ron Paul. If the Democrats would grow some balls I might vote for them.
Oh no, she’s not a gay basher, but she does describe homosexuality as:
– having deadly consequences (more suicides, illness, shorter lifespans)
– a not acceptable lifestyle
– the death nail for the US
– a bigger threat than terrorists and Islam (huh?)
– an indoctrination
– ruining youngsters’ lives
– a disease that spreads
Right. Not a gay hater. Not at all… She makes me sick.
#1 Only too true!
Ancient Greece which brought us, oh, only about every useful concept of western culture, and lasted from 6000BCE to 146BCE.
Well ‘corse that doan’ counts! Theyz so stupid they steel countin’ yars barkerdz!
I agree with this woman. What do I really wonder about her? Well I wonder if she “trims” downstairs!
‘More dangerous than terrorism or Islam’
Because, of course, people who fuck members of the same sex are far, far more dangerous than people who:
* Fly planes into buildings
* Saw the heads off Jewish reporters
* Blow themselves up in crowded markets
* Riot and kill over cartoons & movies
* Abuse & kill women for showing their faces in public, being with the wrong man, being ‘sassy’, etc.
* Publicly execute homosexuals via strangulation hanging.
* Openly scream ‘Death to the US!’
Yep, I’m sure the local al’Asqua-Queer brigade will be rampaging through the streets of Oklahoma beating Christians to death with giant purple dildos and screaming “Death to the Straights!” any minute now…

Pssst. Macro-evolution is just a theory as well.
Just listen to that pathetic bitch. It is amazing to me that people in this day and age still vote these people to powerful elected offices.
Ask me why I hate the Republican party and everything associated with it. There’s my answer.
With all of the comments posted here, makes me wonder who the haters are?
This lady has some valid concerns and is exercising her right to free speech.
It sounds like she has legitimate concerns about some of the consequences of gay culture.
Why must someone be labelled a “hater” if they have concerns?
The reason this is done is that when you label someone a “hater” or a religious zealot, you are saying that their concerns or what they think are invalid and is defacto censorship.
Certain types of gay lifestyles do greatly facilitate the spread of disease, some gay behaviors are very questionable (the problem with sex in bathrooms/bathhouses in Florida).
Critique the argument, not the person.
#17 makes a useful point – and why I discount out of hand the twerps whose gonads are still sewn directly to the RNC.
My extended family is overwhelmingly conservative, mostly Republican for decades. They’re so turned off by the corruption, cronyism and imperial crusades that the majority are now registered independent or Democrat [to help choose someone to replace the toads in power].
That goes all the way to one peer who’s older than me – who was an active Republican for 50 years. It was like hemorrhoid surgery for him to register as Democrat; but, as he said – there is no Republican Party anymore. There is no party for traditional American conservatives anymore. At least, he can participate in removing the current crop who abuse what used to be a respectable name.
#27. Excuse me, she is not just “a lady with valid concerns”, she’s a fucking elected official – a state representative.
You are part of the problem. Fortunately, you are increasingly irrelevant.
@29
Wrong, hate mongers like yourself unable to articulate a balanced and thoughtful argument are increasingly irrevelant.
Welcome to the age of enlightenment.
Prepare for a world where moderates like myself who don’t buy into either of the extremist positions sold by the mainstream media as “left” or “right”.
Sorry, chief. My opinion stands. Deal wit it!
