My wife and I live in SW Missouri. Last year we took a mini vacation of four days to Oklahoma City and had a great time. The National Cowboy and Western Museum in OKC is especially worth anyone’s time. This is doubly true if you enjoy great artwork.
I would encourage anyone to spend their dollars on a vacation to Oklahoma.
yes
One correctional edit- Obama didn’t run in 2016. This little piece reminds of the Convention of States that Mark Levin and others have been promoting and especially so now with this tyranny from the evil Feds.
“If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you must read and write English. Really simple.”
Dora the Invader doesn’t live there?
Obama in 2016? Well howdy!
Not from Oklahoma but spent most of last two years there on a project. Liked it so much i think I’m going to buy a house there. Not in OKC though and certainly not near Tulsa.....perhaps out in country where there are no stoopid and useless IWTs...that is one mistake they are making there but they can be avoided.
Would be easier to choose location if they had some nice lakes but that is a small shortcoming. Freeper suggestions are welcome....don’t want to be more than 1 1/2 hours to a decent airport.
What’s IWT?
Industrial Wind Turbine....
We can run over protesters too.
Need a heavy duty grill and a lift kit.
God’s country.
My husband took a short term position in OKC. I lived there for one year. The nicest people. Really nice downtown. Beautiful heritage areas (old oil mansions), good restaurants, beautiful osage wilderness areas to explore and camp. Very interesting Native American history to explore. Lots more...I would go back to vacation!

Was there years ago. If you liked it you will also love Gilcrease Institute in Tulsa OK.
Yes…we have a law now that protects us if we run over street protesters. That made the libs insanely crazy when it was passed. I will say…we have a great life here in Oklahoma. Back last summer, BLM and Antifa tried to riot. For two nights they tried their crap in downtown OKC. And they were run out. They were arrested and the crap stopped. A BLM group tried to protest on and block I-235 in downtown. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol sent their tactical teams out there and the BLM protest ended in about 20 minutes under a fog of tear gas and rubber bullets/beanbags. Our DA said OKC was not Portland or Seattle and he filed charges.
We do have a fair number of progressives in certain sections of OKC as evidenced by three loony tunes on our city council. But outside of the core of OKC and Tulsa, this state is deep red.
And despite what on poster said, we have some amazing lakes in Oklahoma. Beaver’s Ben’s. Keystone. Grand Lake of the Cherokees. Lake Murray. Texoma. And more. We have a very diverse state. And about the finest people on earth. Come visit. Sit a spell. And see what we have to offer.
And later this year…the “First American” Indian museum, in partnership with the Smithsonian, will open in Downtown OKC. It looks to be an amazing museum.
So blessed we live in Oklahoma!
Oklahoma is covered in man made lakes. Tulsa has a good airport. I wouldn’t want to live in Tulsa, but there are lots of towns an hour from there. Same with OKC.
OOOOk-lahoma, where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain,
And the wavin’ wheat can sure smell sweet, When the wind comes right behind the rain.
OOOOk-lahoma, Ev’ry night my honey lamb and I, Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk makin’ lazy circles in the sky.
Thanks... maybe I’ll look in the lake area that is above the Eufalo Dam... that’s say 1 1/2 to 2 hours to both Tulsa and OKC airports and only 3 to Dallas. Or perhaps somewhere along the Arkansas River. I have friends in quite a few places in Oklahoma... one lives in Stillwater, and he has a cottage at the lake that is just west of there. I know a bunch of people north of there in Ponca City, some around Muskogee and folks I’ve worked with in OKC.
Haven’t been west of Hwy 35 (well, I guess OKC Airport is west of 35 but that doesn’t count for much) so don’t know what it’s like around say Boise City or Guymon etc. I would imagine quite rural.
I have never heard of The Gilcrease Institute so I got pretty excited when I read about it’s art holdings. THEN I read about how it’s going to close on July 5th so they can demolish it and rebuild it. Looks like I will have somewhere to visit in 3 or 4 years though.
Perhaps they will loan some of their works to Crystal Bridges in Bentonville.
