Our good friend, Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern, has a new book coming out called The Stoning of Sally Kern: The liberal attack on Christian conservatism-and why we must take a stand.
Poor Sally. The liberal media is attacking her. And just who is this liberal media? Well, she clearly identifies it as us. Here’s a quote from her book:
“Publications such as Dallas Voice and The Advocate ran on line articles commending my opponent and bashing me.”
Well, if quoting her in context is bashing, we’ll take full credit.
Here’s what she said:
“I honestly think it’s the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam, which I think is a big threat.”
The “it” she was talking about is homosexuality. And that wasn’t some off-handed comment. It was part of a state proclamation that other state elected officials condemned.
And just to make sure she wasn’t misunderstood, she also said:
“Here in America we’ve had what maybe three known real big terrorist attacks on our nation. But every day our young people especially, all of us, but our young people especially are in a sense bombarded with the message that homosexuality is normal and natural.”
We also pointed out that Kern’s district is adjacent to the one where the Oklahoma City bombing took place. People from her district were killed. But gays are a bigger threat.
Here’s my interview with her opponent, Brittany Novotny. I’m not sure that I “commended” Novotny. I merely reported that the New York Times said she had a chance to win. I quoted the candidate calling her opponent an extremist. And Kern would have had the same opportunity if she returned a phone call.
I can’t wait to read the entire book so we can do some more Kern-bashing.
Sally Kerns shares something most fundamentalists are burdened with, anger. they are angry that the God of their understanding is capricious and vengeful. They are angry that the literal reading of the Bible demands that you live in cognitive dissonance and that leads to a whole lot of problems. Sally is angry and rather than look at her own twisted belief system, she needs scapegoats. We, the LGBT community, are perfect for her. She is a sad and miserable woman who someday will have a crisis of faith, and because she cannot wrap her mind around any God but an angry one, she will remain miserable for a long time.
But I’m not judgmental or anything.
And I apologize for misspelling her name, KERN not KERNS.
Gee, that’s funny. When last I checked, all we members of the LGBT community wanted was to live in peace and have the freedom to love whomever we choose. We’re not interested in bombing buildings and killing all the infidels – and yet we’re the bigger threat?
I feel a great deal of pity for those who feel like Kern. They must be suffering greatly, to be so filled with anger and fear.
Who know she was a pothead?
She’s just like Sarah Palin, ( the real lady one) when she crys when they attack her, even when she knows shes telling a lie.
Congratulations to David Taffet and The Dallas Voice on this Outstanding Achievement!!!
Kudos and accolades to the whole team!
Kern is a puppet of her husband, Steve Kern, who has written a book about dinosaurs and humans being on the earth simultaneously 6,000 years ago. Need I say more?
There we go again, James. Bashing her by stating facts and using quotes.
Religion is a cancer.
Just like the Christ-fascist wing-nut Bryan Fischer of the AFA, Sally and Steve Kern immigrated from Idaho to spread their vitriol and seeds of hate. Many in Idaho are grateful for their departure, and extend our heartfelt condolences to Mississippi and Oklahoma.
When will she learn to “turn the other cheek” and just shut up! We, who live in the metro area of OKC no longer read our only daily as the disreputable, biased, lying piece of dead trees keeps her ever in their news (?). She and her nutty spouse might have already moved to more fertile soil if it were not for the Joklahoman.
Forget, please, “conservatism.” It has been, operationally, de facto, Godless and therefore irrelevant. Secular conservatism will not defeat secular liberalism because to God both are two atheistic peas-in-a-pod and thus predestined to failure. As Stonewall Jackson’s Chief of Staff R.L. Dabney said of such a humanistic belief more than 100 years ago:
“[Secular conservatism] is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today .one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt bath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth.”
Our country is collapsing because we have turned our back on God (Psalm 9:17) and refused to kiss His Son (Psalm 2).
