Oklahoma: Homo-hating Sally Kern now turns to heterosexuals and divorce

[ccharles000]

"I am not saying everyone has to be Christian; this is not a homogenous nation. What you have to be is someone who believes in a Judeo-Christian ethic, in other words, in knowing there's a right and wrong. Not all lifestyles are equal; not all religions are equal...My Lord made it very clear to me that I'm a cultural warrior for Judeo-Christian values." -- The wisdom of Oklahomobigot, illegal pistol-packing legislator Sally Kern

Tee-hee. Of course she was referring to the HO-MO-SEXUALS in the above quote a few months ago, but as those of us who follow the radical hate agenda of the religious right on regular basis know, the fringe bigots have no problem going after divorce bans as well. And when I was pointed to this article by Blender Christopher G., it was no surprise that Oklahoma state legislator Sally Kern would be leading the charge in her state.

Scheduled for introduction in the 2010 legislative session by state Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, House Bill 2279 would restrict the "use of incompatibility as a ground for divorce" in Oklahoma.

The bill would not allow for divorce on the basis of incompatibility if:

* There are living minor children of the marriage
* The parties have been married 10 years or longer
* Either party files a written objection to the granting of a divorce

1. Well if you are talking about threats to traditional marriage

divorce is sure as hell a bigger threat than gay marriage.

So I'm not sure I disagree with her on this one, asshat though she may be.

3. "What you have to be is someone who believes in a Judeo-Christian ethic" - good god

6. because only THEY know right from wrong

all evidence to the contrary

4. What's this? Exceptions?

"What God has joined together, let no man put asunder." Would God let people get divorced just because they were barren or their kids were grown and out of the house? Abraham and Sarah didn't divorce! Why is Rep. Kern trying to water down the Eternal Word of God?

5. Another fucking whacko comes out of the

woodwork.

7. First she say's the US is a homogenerous nation and then she says it isn't a homogenerous nation !!

8. Hey! Isn't this the whackdoodle who tried to mandate passing grades for creationists in geology

classes?

9. I remember when divorce was illegal in this country. Makes me chuckle.

I believe it would be unconstitutional but let Oklahoma be Oklahoma.

Biblically, if one of the two in the marriage isn't impaired in some way - mental or physical- or an adulterer, they are not elegible for divorce and if they do and either date or remarry, they are a fornicating adulterer in the eyes of God. :)
