Oklahoma Goes Renegade

Oklahoma passed a law, 37 to 9 (had a few liberals in the mix), an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values...! HB 1330
Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804. Hope they didn't get sent to your state. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.
Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently they passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegals to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional. SB 1102
Guess what........ Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several weeks ago, they passed a law declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas, Montana and Utah as the only states to do so. More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003

The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a set back for the criminals (and Obamites). Liberals didn't like it -- But ...
Guess what........... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Also, this same state has voted and passed a law that ALL driver's license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English.

Really simple.

By the way, Obama does not like any of this.
Guess what....who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

Okay, so how do I really feel about all this? I admit, I have mixed feelings about some of the laws that are mentioned. But I'm open to discussion about whether they are good or bad. Does anybody out there have any experience either way? I know a lot of people object to the idea of having a monument of the Ten Commandments on government property, citing the possibility that Muslims or other religions may in all fairness also want to have their sacred symbols on display. But let me raise a few questions.

I hear the objection all the time that it is unconstitutional. Pray tell, how is it unconstitutional? What part of the Constitution does it violate? I don't believe it violates any part of it, especially if you take it the way the Founding Fathers intended it to be read.

Next question: What would be wrong with refusing to set up religious symbols of other beliefs if they requested it? You say, "Religious discrimination!" So?? If the majority of the lawmakers that the general population elected are Christian and are in favor of Christian emblems on state or government property, why in the world should they not do it?? How can this possibly mean that they would then also have to give minority groups similar recognition? That's ridiculous! Whatever happened to majority vote? I mean, this is religious preference, not religious oppression! Perhaps it should be by the vote of the people and not the lawmakers, but I don't see much difference. The majority rules. If you don't like it, how about relocating? If you really, really don't like it, that is. The minority religions are in no way being cheated or used unfairly. The majority simply votes against granting them a special (mark this: special) recognition. It's not denying them their rights, or anything they deserve (especially if they aren't American citizens!)

Now you may ask me, "If the majority were Hindu, and wanted to do a similar exhibit, should they have the right to do so?" Yes, they should! Majority rules! You just can't rule in the way of suppressing or oppressing other religions. Our Constitution grants religious protections, and freedom from harassment or persecution. At least it used to. Christians are losing those rights every day.

Way to go, Oklahoma!

Wonder how much land is going for in OK.? OKLAHOMA MAY JUST BE THE PLACE TO LIVE!

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.
