Oklahoma Rep. Kern

Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern was recently recorded as saying:

"The homosexual agenda is destroying this nation, OK, it's just a fact. Studies show no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted, you know, more than a few decades. So it's the death knell in this country."

"I honestly think it's the biggest threat that our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam, which I think is a big threat."

(Click on her quote for the link to the Fox news story.)

The homosexual agenda? Where do I get a copy? Which gay organization coordinates that? Do the gay Republicans know about it? Is Larry Craig supporting it? Why wasn't I given a copy?

How does fighting for equality weaken a nation? Doesn't fairness and equality strengthen a country? Did Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement weaken us? How about the women's rights movement?

Which civilizations collapsed after "embracing" homosexuality? Is she referring to Rome? Didn't Rome collapse from Barbarian invasions? And didn't Rome last for hundreds of years rather than "a few decades"?

She lumps gays with terrorists. Indeed, using my rights to free speech, to petition my elected officials, and to protest are subversive -- that's why the country's founders placed these rights in the constitution. Is she comparing my use of these rights to bombing buildings and people?

I think she is terribly misinformed.
