Who is Sally Kern, and Why Did Oklahomans Elect Such a Hate-Filled Sow to the State House?

Republican (of course) Oklahoma state Representative Sally Kern — “representative” of no one but lying, delusional, gay-bashing bigots — got caught on tape bashing queers with her perverted brand of Christianity, repeating outright lies from the Paul Cameron School of Making Up Shit for Fun and Profit, and then claiming she’s not a lying, delusional, gay-bashing bigot.

Oh, and Muslims? She slammed you, too. Big-time.

Buffy’s got the audio, and Kern’s contact info should you care to share your reaction.

And here, out of Kern’s rambling style peppered with lots of “ums” and “ers” and “okays,” are the choicest bits of her vile spew:

The homosexual agenda is destroying this nation. ‘k? It’s just a fact. Not everybody’s lifestyle is equal, just like not all religions are equal. Y’know?

. . .

I’m not gay-bashing, but according to God’s word that is not the right kind of lifestyle. It has deadly consequences for those people involved in it, they have more suicides, uh, and they’re more discouraged, there’s more illness, they’re have — lifespans are shorter.

. . .

It’s not a lifestyle that is good for this nation. As a matter of fact, studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades. So it’s the death knell of 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.

. . .

What’s happening now, they’re going after … in schools, two year-olds! You know why they’re trying to get early childhood education? They want to get our young children into the government schools so they can indoctrinate them.

. . .

They’re going after our young children, as young as two years of age, to try to teach them that the homosexual lifestyle is the acceptable lifestyle.

. . .

Gays are infiltrating city councils. … Have you heard that the City Council of Eureka Springs is now controlled by gays? … There are some others … Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Tacoma … in Vermont, Oregon, West Palm Beach, Florida…

. . .

One of the things I did with in our legislature … a bill last year, that would notify parents … what clubs their students were involved in. And the reason I did that bill, primarily, was this: we have the gay-straight alliance coming into our schools. Kids are getting involved in these groups, their lives are being ruined, their parents don’t know about it! So I introduced a bill that said, you have to notify all clubs and things. And one of my colleagues said, “Well, you know we don’t have a gay problem in my county. So that’s why I’m voting against that bill.” Well you know what? To me that is so dumb. If you’ve got cancer or something in your little toe, do you say, “Well, I’m just gonna forget about it, ’cause the rest of you is fine”? It spreads! Okay? And this, this stuff is deadly and it’s spreading and it will destroy our young people and it will destroy this nation.
