In case you missed it, check out this clip of Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern’s tirade against gays.
Kern has refused to apologize and maintains that she is not a gay-basher. She reportedly received a standing ovation from fellow Oklahoma Republican lawmakers in a closed meeting on Monday for her remarks.
Another notable contribution of Rep. Kern was her sponsorship of HB 2200, which would prohibit public schools from penalizing students whose religious beliefs are in conflict with scientific theory. An identical bill, HB 2211, passed the OK House Education Committee last week. Jamelle has more at US of Jamerica.
Thanks for the nod Elizabeth, and welcome back to the blogosphere!
Welcome back!
I appreciate that your blogs strike a particularly well honed set of “blows” for thinking… not one partisan side, or another, but rather just thinking things through. This is very refreshing, especially when coming from a recovering Repub.
If re-launching is needed, then so be it. I hope that the re-launch does not change too much of your style, Elizabeth, or any of your mind!
You should come back to work.
There is so much GREAT new material in the last month or so! If, as recently as four years ago, one suggested any of today’s headlines, no one would have believed it, would they?
Have you retired? Our loss – and not a single word on Ms. Palin; hard to imagine.
