Goodness gracious, what a confluence of stories out of Oklahoma this week. Yes, Tom Coburn is leaving the Senate, but two other news flashes grabbed our attention, too.
The first one concerned the Sooner State's ban on same-sex marriage. A federal judge struck it down on Tuesday, declaring that it violated the US Constitution. The second one was about a satanic temple in New York, which has asked to erect a statue of Beelzebub on the grounds of the Oklahoma state capitol. Why? Because a marker with the Ten Commandments is already there. First amendment, don'tcha know.
We cats are sure that the teabaggers in Oklahoma would not have these headaches had they not: A) legislated hate into their constitution, and B) endorsed one faith with their silly commandments monument.
Or did they not know that in addition to guaranteeing freedom of speech and the press, the first amendment prohibits the government from establishing a religion? We cats PURR.
