It’s abuse
It’s not therapy.
It’s child abuse.
First she attempted to remove any “Homosexually Themed” books from public libraries making no distinction between what some might, according to their own biases, consider too “adult” to be in a library, especially the children’s section, and books that would supply self-affirming information to those who might want it, be they young people, or their parents and siblings.
If it spoke positively about Gay people, the books were the work of Satan.
She neither defined what she meant by the term “Homosexually themed”, nor did she explain how any decision about which books would fall into that category would be made, nor who would make that determination.
She lost at the local level. Her crusade for Jesus failed.
So she took the next step proposing legislation to threaten any library system in the state with loss of state funding that did not do as she wanted
And, again she lost.
She continually tried desperately to present GLBT people as the enemy, going so far as to claim they were a worse threat to America than terrorists, and advising that, like any cancer, GLBT people should be removed.
Again she did not define what she meant by that.
She has followers, but any research into who they are makes it plain that they are not all that level headed as they lean more toward the fanatical.
Throughout her legislative career, while her state needs to get out of poverty while leading the country in teen pregnancy, women in prison, syphilis, parents who kill their own children, women who protect their boyfriends after they have killed the baby, and meth, and with over half the marriages ending in divorce, with the state being in the basement when it comes to education, Sally Kern is using her position for a religious crusade that addresses none of the needs of the state.
And, each time she fails, she looks for another cause as if she fears she has failed the Lord and has to redeem herself at the state’s and its citizens’ expense.
She overlooks the idea that what she claims is the will of God revealed to her by God Himself, might just be her own ideas, and she has only convinced herself they come from a higher authority.
Then the court decides that same sex couples should be allowed to marry in Oklahoma, and she is off on a pogrom of finding ways to strike out at Gay people.
When this viagra lowest prices happens the person can easily face erections. This herbal oil not only cures the cialis uk problem of erectile dysfunction which is also known as impotence by many men who are incapable of achieving a firm erection and perform during sex. Take eight drops of this herbal oil and apply along the length of the male organ and gently viagra cheapest massage gently daily two times. Other widespread levitra lowest price Generic are vomiting, pain in head, blurry vision, hot flashes, which most of the time fall down after short duration.
She wants employees of the courts that follow the law by doing their jobs to be fired for doing their jobs.
She wants businesses to be able to discriminate against GLBT people without any limits.
And, she wants children to be subjected to damaging conversion therapy and for anyone who might object to it, or even openly question it to be punished.
Kids can be sent to conversion therapy for any reason a parent might choose regardless if the reason is for what’s best for the child, or merely because of some misguided motivation.
The boy likes the arts over sports. This is Oklahoma where football is a religion and the arts are for “sissies”.
Reason enough.
Children may not be getting what is best for them, but, rather, may be subjected to the political or religious belief of the uninformed.
Whereas a person of the cloth, a Pat Robertson type, might recommend this therapy for the screwiest of reasons, those who are trained and work impartially with children must be silent or face prosecution.
As a former teacher, Sally Kern should be aware of the dangers of this. She certainly is aware through experience that not all parents can, or will make proper decisions based on correct information or intelligent thought.
State agencies like Child Welfare, the Oklahoma Commission on Youth, the Department of Mental Health, and the Health Department will be kept from intervening or preventing Child Abuse. There will be no oversight of services defined as Conversion Therapy.
And since such therapy has been proven time and again to be ineffective and damaging, and since psychological associations and professionals have deemed it improper, who will the therapists be other than those who claim they have some sort of expertise?
And, who will certify them?
Without inspection and oversight, including the ability to investigate a complaint, children sent to conversion therapy could be exposed to quackery, snake oil salesmen, religious charlatans, and even child abuse and molestation conveniently passed off as therapeutic techniques.
Someone like Sally Kern should know this, or one has to wonder what damage she has done, or has allowed to be done to children who have been in her classes.
If she fails in this, one has to wonder what her next excuse for an attempt at redemption will be.
How they speak for God.
Like junk mail you get in your snail mail, you can’t get rid of 100% but you can manage it by taking proper prescription medications and following some rules, impotence also can be managed and treated by using best viagra price . * ObesityObesity means major chances of increasing one of the well – known disease diabetes. So avoid this generic anti-impotent medicine if you are undergoing any other treatment or online viagra canada if you are using any medicine containing nitrates. Impotence or Erectile Dysfunction is man’s inability to gain and sustain an erection or both in response to sexual stimulation during an intercourse. generic purchase viagra The famous canada viagra generic was a hit in market irrespective of the fact that it is reluctance to seek help which makes the problem worse. height=”500″ />
And then they propose and pass legislation.
Who destroyed marriage?
Bibi
The moronic strategy
The people who use their religion as a tool to get the legislation that would benefit them claimed the greatest threat from same sex marriage would be its assault on marriage.
However, in places that have same sex marriage, straight “traditional” marriages have not been threatened. As a matter of fact, in Massachusetts that has had same sex marriage for over ten years now, the divorce rate remains the lowest in the country as opposed to the more “traditionally” religious places that lead the country in divorce, and there has been no evidence that same sex marriages destroy opposite sex ones.
So what do you do when same sex marriage’s threat does not materialize, and what do you do when it does not interfere or destroy “traditional” marriage?
Do you accept the evidence that you may have been wrong and same sex marriage might not be the horror you had thought, or do you come up with a new strategy that ignores evidence and creates a negative condition that you can hopefully blame same sex marriage for?
If you are desperate to appear to be correct, you create laws that fundamentally interfere with marriage, and then point out that because of same sex marriage these laws are needed, and emphasize that this results in the fruition of the threat.
You threaten public employees, who are in a position to do so, that if they deal with, or appear to support same sex marriages by giving out legitimate marriage certificates, or, if judges, they perform such marriages, that they will lose their jobs, benefits, and their pensions.
And see?
Same sex marriage has threatened jobs.
You claim with totally erroneous logic that to avoid allowing same sex marriages, and so as not to be discriminatory, your state will perform no civil weddings at any court house.
And, see?
Straight people cannot get married anywhere other than a church. No one who is not affiliated with a church can get married.
Then, like a law proposed in Oklahoma, potential couples must submit to a number of new medical tests to make sure neither person has any type of STD if they intend to get married. The expanded medical intrusion will reduce the number of weddings that will be allowed.
And, see?
Because we all know that all Gay men have AIDS, and in order to protect people from it, no one with an STD will be allowed to marry, especially the Gay ones.
And, see?
Some people may experience low energy, extreme tiredness, and poor memory cheap tadalafil canada due to hormone imbalance. There are other reasons as well as in older viagra tablets india individuals. In most cases if you take a prescription medication that you need : whether or not the manufacturer is not accessible, the actual common prescription medication is equally as successful simply because they bring the identical active ingredient as cialis cost canada , Sildenafil Citrate, which effectively works by allowing increased blood flow to the caverns in your genitals. Alfuzosin (Uroxatral ) Doxazosin (Cardura ) Phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline ) Phentolamine (Regitine ) Prazosin (Minipress ) Silodosin (Rapaflo ) Tamsulosin (Flomax ) Terazosin viagra soft pills (Hytrin ) 3. Same sex marriage has kept two people who previously would have had no problem marrying each other from now being able to get married.
Now pass two laws, one that says that no clergy has to perform a wedding that they feel violates their religious beliefs, and then make a second law that says only marriages performed by clergy will be recognized by the state.
If you are not a member of a church, or are an atheist, kiss marriage good-bye.
And, see?
You will get turned away from a church of your choice, and, obviously, this only happened because of same sex marriage.
Where there is no problem, create a law whose application creates the problems you had warned about, and then blame anyone but the creator of the law for the problems created, and its complications on others.
Divide people against people by using your new laws to create a false enemy with yourself as the only protection.
This is not a new approach.
The Equal Access Act was originally promoted as a way to allow religious clubs in schools. It was pushed by religiously bent (no pun) legislators who believed if schools allowed any non-curriculum related clubs in schools, they could not deny a religious club.
However, when the law passed, the religious people realized that to not be discriminatory it had to apply to all student run, non-curriculum related clubs, like stamp clubs, science fiction clubs, and Gay/Straight Alliance clubs.
They found that they had inadvertently allowed for Gay supporting and affirming clubs in schools.
To undo this, when students requested a Gay/Straight Alliance in accordance with the law the religious legislator had wrought, the only way to avoid allowing it was to cancel all non-curriculum clubs and then tell the other club members that it was because of the Gay kids that they had lost their clubs.
They took actions that relied on the effective invention of a scapegoat.
The lesson not learned here was that in spite of what they thought was a clever strategy to not have Gay clubs and using their solution as a way of blaming their victims, the school districts who had used this approach were seen to be doing exactly what they were doing, and it hurt their image as opposed help it.
Ignoring history, these legislators have simply applied this failed strategy to another situation, but to thinking people they will be seen for what they are.
It is up to these thinking people to expose what is going on so that people are not fooled, and the strategy fails.
Waiting for…………….
It must be a tough life for those who are always looking for the next huge Armageddon to begin, or for the next big threat to raise its ugly head only to be disappointed when nothing happens, forcing them to look for the next one. They seem to be obsessed with anticipating the worst.
They seem to thrive on the possibility of destruction. They hope for it.
Last summer we had all those kids crossing the border from Central America. They were going to overrun the place, take our jobs, and vote for Obama.
Here on Cape Cod they were going to be housed at Joint Base Cape Cod, formerly Otis Air Force Base, although the only movement in that direction had been the White House asking the Massachusetts governor to have the feasibility of its use as a processing station investigated.
Locals warned of hoards of children climbing over the fences, invading the local community, committing crime, and totally destroying the local school systems.
The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
Crime and disease would be rampant throughout the land. Our lives as we knew them would never be the same.
They never came. The apoplexy had been wasted. The embarrassment about people’s reactions and language was great and lasting
No one talk about it anymore.
Then Ebola came.
People coming across the border were to be the way the plague would enter this country, but it would only come from the people from the southern border because, apparently, the more acceptable people who snuck over the northern border were not diseased.
Ebola would devastate the country, and would be the fault of all those who came sneaking across the border unclean.
In spite of the fact that part of the processing they went through was medical inspection and none had been found to be carrying Ebola, and the fact that the first civilian case of Ebola came into the country by way of an American citizen on a commercial flight, and three other cases came by way of those who had been treating people in Africa, people still insisted that the Central American kids were the incubators.

Like the leaves of the forest when summer is green,
That host with their banners at sunset were seen:
Like the leaves of the forest when autumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered and strown.
The plague never came.
We don’t talk about it anymore.
Then measles hit.
The doomsday-gotta-blame-the-the-brown-people-crowd just knew measles were being brought here by them.
Nevermind that there are a lot of antivaxxers who have the most misguided reasons upon which they base their refusal to have their children vaccinated ranging from its causing autism to our freedom not to have our own kids vaccinated along with the freedom to expose other people’s kids to illness.
The disease hit, but it began at Disney Land, a place that anyone who has been there knows has an admission price that is out of the price range for those who slipped across the border.
Things did not go as the dooms day people claimed it would.
And now we hear little about vaccines and measles.
It seems that more time and worry is spent on to many things hat just do not happen.
Life is short, and there are a lot of good things happening, and about to happen.
These people need to give it a rest.
“Let us do something, while we have the chance! It is not every day that we are needed. Not indeed that we personally are needed. Others would meet the case equally well, if not better. To all mankind they were addressed, those cries for help still ringing in our ears! But at this place, at this moment of time, all mankind is us, whether we like it or not. Let us make the most of it, before it is too late! Let us represent worthily for one the foul brood to which a cruel fate consigned us! What do you say? It is true that when with folded arms we weigh the pros and cons we are no less a credit to our species. The tiger bounds to the help of his congeners without the least reflexion, or else he slinks away into the depths of the thickets. But that is not the question. What are we doing here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in the immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot Ebola to come — ”
― Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot
Bad PR campaign
I find it to be a rather odd approach, but if Bibi Netanyahu wants to use it, that is his right.
He is coming to the United States to speak to Congress (I will not get into that whole mess) so he can tell congress and the American people that he wants us to ignore our duly elected president and reject diplomatic talks now taking place with Iran and a few other countries.
He doesn’t want diplomacy, but something more, because he claims that Iran wants to nuke Israel off the face of the earth.
He has even said that he would recommend military action against Iran to prevent this, which would drag the United States into a war that we are presently attempting to avoid through the diplomacy that Bibi objects to.
If he declares war on Iran, it and its allies and sympathizers, many of them having spoken against the existence of Israel, would be handed their excuse to wipe Israel off the map.

And while he is creating this dangerous condition, he is trying to convince Jews in Europe that the best thing for them is to leave Europe and move to Israel.
I don’t know about anyone else, but inviting me to move to a country that is hoping not to be blown off the face of the earth while exacerbating the situation so this could very well happen, is not a strong point upon which to base my moving there.
Not very attractive.
Come to Israel and join us for the nuclear annihilation.
Don’t miss out.
There is a time for everything
When speaking about education funding aimed at improving elementary school reading outcomes, Republican Mississippi State Representative Gene Alday said, “I don’t see any schools hurting. “[Mississippi] has a lot of bad school districts…I come from a town where all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call ‘welfare crazy checks.’ They don’t work.”
The reaction to this rather racist comment met with a lot of disapproval, even from his own party members, but Alday says that his remark was taken out of context, and the reporter he had talked to “made me look like a fool.”
He claims that when he made the remark he had told the reporter to keep it off the record.
Anyone who is being interviewed by a reporter in any media format, myself included, knows that the only way to keep something off the record is to not say it.

Governor Phil Bryant, a Republican, Speaker of the House Philip Gunn, also a Republican, and State Republican Party Chairman Joe Nosef condemned the remark with the governor saying, “I strongly reject his comments condemning any Mississippian because of their race. Those days are long past.”
Alday also defended his remarks by saying, “It was late at night and he called me”.
Apparently there is a part of the day when you cannot say racist things, and another part when you can.
I am going to assume the dividing line is when the sun goes down.
I thought the KKK burned crosses at night because it was visually dramatic. Apparently they did it then because it was late at night, so it was okay.
only Brian Williams’s lies are bad
Let’s skip over the real obvious Ironies.
You know the ones.
Dick Cheney and his team of Rumsfeld, Rice, and Bush, lied us into two wars that had no exit strategy and no real purpose, but did result in 4,483 dead, over 50,000 injured, many returning vets being homeless, and up to 22 suicides a day among veterans whom we loved to say we supported, but for whom we have had no programs to help them adjust to civilian life, and whose benefits have been cut.
Yet, no one questions or holds them to those lies.
As a matter of fact, they are defended so long as you throw in the word “patriotism” and claim you love the U.S.A..
Fox News not only lies up to 75% of the time, but the network got a court ruling that said they can lie and aren’t held to reporting the truth.
Chuck Todd, who now chairs Meet the Press, famously said as a reporter that his job was not to correct stories that presented falsehoods
John Boehner consistently insisted that President Obama was not being truthful when he claimed the White House was not forewarned about the invitation to Netanyahu to speak to both Houses of Congress, only to state on Fox News this past weekend that he had not told the President about the invite beforehand so there would be no interference.
If he wasn’t lying the first time, he was the second.
Rand Paul said without hesitation, “I have heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines.”
When questioned he modified it to, “I did not say vaccines caused disorders, just that they were temporally related. I did not allege causation. I support vaccines.”
What he obviously presented as cause and effect, he claims now he only connected because one thing happened before the unrelated other.
Everything was running normal cheap discount levitra but that night was a special one.

I didn’t say the lamp broke when I knocked it off the table and it smashed on the floor, I said that I had knocked the lamp off the table and then it broke when it hit the floor. No cause and effect, just two unrelated events that just happened one after the other with me responsible for only the first event.
Rand Paul proposed we end all foreign aid including for Israel when he had said in 2011, “Should we be giving free money or welfare to a rich nation? I don’t think so.”
But in 2014, when questioned about this plan to cut foreign aid even to Israel he said, “I haven’t really proposed that in the past. You can mistake my position, but then I’ll answer the question. That has not been a position, a legislative position, we have introduced to phase out or get rid of Israel’s aid.”
Last week at a conference, in response to a question, Rand Paul claimed that he had two Bachelor degrees. “Mine’s in biology and English, so this is going to be a great conversation”, insisting later, “I have a biology degree, OK?”
But when it was revealed that he had not finish college before entering medical school so he had earned neither a degree in Biology nor in English, he explained that away through an aide explaining he “was referring to his medical degree”.
He does have an M.D., but that is not an undergraduate degree in spite of his aide’s insistence that an M.D. “is a biology degree”.
And there was more dancing when the aide went further with Paul “never said he had an undergraduate degree in biology, and it is accurate for him to say that he has a biology degree.”
The Hines Brothers couldn’t dance this well.
One guy gets us into a war; a news organization inflames American citizens against other American citizens through lies, and misrepresents facts on a regular basis; a third lies about degrees, certifies himself to be a doctor, panics people about Ebola, and people seem okay with that.
Brian Williams says he was in a helicopter that got shot at, and he is vilified, and people are after more than a pound of flesh.
We are an interesting country.
