OK Rep. Presents a Proclamation for Morality which blames gays, etc. for our economic and social ills

[Mark F]

My first discussion here at the 'new' TBD. Okay, here I go. Seems a Rep. from Oklahoma has introduced a Proclamation for Morality. This proclamation blames the current economic and social ills on gays, abortion, divorce, and all around lack of Christian faith. Just some more of that tolerance and compassion the right is known for. Compassionate Conservatives my ass.

Here is the proclamation:

WHEREAS, the people of Oklahoma have a strong tradition of reliance upon the Creator of the Universe; 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; and

WHEREAS, deeply disturbed that the Office of the president of these United States disregards the biblical admonitions to live clean and pure lives by proclaiming an entire month to an immoral behavior;

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

Well, this ties in well with Rush Limbonehead blaming President Obama for the affair Governor Sanford had in Argentina. Seems that the right can't take responsibility for their own screw ups. Whether it's what they did to our economy or cheating on one's wife while abandoning the state they are running.

Oh, and she is flat out wrong about Obama not recognizing the National Day of Prayer. He did issue a proclamation or recognize or whatever. What he didn't do was to hold a public ceromony in the White House. It was held in private. As prayer should be, politics or no.

How do they get around the separation clause?
