A thousand people show up to “stand with sally kern” over her remarks that gays are a bigger threat to the USA than terrorists. Go lick Fred Phelps’ pustulent scrotum you jerks.

Sally Kern is a peculiar creature. There’s a bright side to this idiocy, though. When a thousand people go to the statehouse to support an entity that says something is a bigger threat than terrorists… _It means the terrorists are losing!_ woohoo. ---

[QUOTE=Valgard] A thousand people show up to “stand with sally kern” over her remarks that gays are a bigger threat to the USA than terrorists. [/QUOTE] If there was ever a rally that needed to be bombed by a gay-terrorist, this is it. ETA: Oklahoma is also home of Senator Coburn who said: > [@](#): > > "The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power… That agenda is the greatest threat to our freedom that we face today. Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That’s a gay agenda. and > [@](#): > > “Lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in Southeast Oklahoma that they’ll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it.” They must really hate the gay there in OK (ironic since the only reason most of us know the state exists is due to musical theater). ---

Senator, gay people are less likely than anyone else to have a personal stake in abortion. As for multiple sexual partners, I think you’ll find straights did it first. (And better. 😉 ) ---

[/QUOTE] (only letting one girl going to the bathroom) _Now thing about WHAT_? That’s ALWAYS been the rule when I was in school-only one person could use the lavatory at a time. The main reason only one _person_ could use the bathroom at a time was so we couldn’t goof off instead of using said bathroom and then going back to class. Not that it worked. During recess, my friends and I used to throw wet paper towels up at the ceiling so they’d stick. Which they did. For years. ---

(And better. 😉 ) [/QUOTE] Well, the way they see it, I believe, gays aren’t capable of real love, like heterosexuals are. There is no emotion in their relationships at all; it’s just about sex, and never anything more. That’s why we can’t let 'em marry, y’know. :rolleyes: ---

Knowing the true orientation of so many people who are anti-gay enough to go to a damn rally about it, I’d bet that an enterprising businessman could have made a killing by walking around in a bulky trench coat at the gathering and surreptitiously selling gay porn. ---

I missed out! I never encountered rampant lesbianism in high school… perhaps I’m not their type. I’m NOT proud to be an Oklahoman. I’ve encountered so many hypocritical Christian assholes here in the “Bible Belt” that talk about being Christ-like and loving people, blah blah blah, yet they have that same “Gays are ruining the world” attitude. No, those types of people are ruining the world with their intolerance of anything other than what they believe. If I wasn’t so tired I would rant more but that mildly sums up my feelings about Sally Kern and people like her. ---
