Oklahoma Republican: gays and "debauchery" caused the recession

Oklahoma Republican State Rep. Sally Kern, last seen spouting a paranoid, delusional tirade declaring the GLBT community “the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism,” is at it again. Kern, in a successful effort to prove that she’s gone completely off the deep end, has introduced a resolution blaming gays, troubled families, and general “debauchery” for the nation’s financial crisis.

The resolution itself contains several amazing charges:

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;

It obviously never occurred to Kern that maybe, possibly, our economic woes are actually a consequence of Republican politicians who spent decades trying to control people’s personal lives while letting the economy spin out of control.
