Okla. lawmaker threatened with legal action for practicing free speech

Oklahoma state lawmaker Sally Kern has had to obtain legal representation in the wake of a barrage of tens of thousands of hate-filled emails and threatened lawsuits after she spoke publicly about the dangers of the radical homosexual agenda.

During a recent speech at a Republican club meeting, Sooner State Representative Sally Kern said she was concerned that the homosexual agenda would destroy the nation and that the threat the movement poses is as big a threat to the nation as terrorism. She also told how young public school children are being indoctrinated into believing that the homosexual lifestyle is normal.

Reaction to her speech, which was posted on YouTube, was swift from homosexual activists. Kern said she received more than 27,000 emails to her office and home computers, many of them filled with profanity and vulgarity. ..."Really [it's] a ploy to try to intimidate Representative Kern in particular, and the state legislature in Oklahoma in general, to try to get these laws passed that favor them and end up criminalizing Christianity," he says.

Rooney explains that in addition to defending Kern's right to free speech, the Law Center wants to deliver a message to those threatening the lawmaker.

Me too. Now they want to shove all anti homosexual peoples into a closet. Mom and Dad were right not to abide such evil behavior but this generation is upside down and backwards.

the power effete elite treat sex as a comodity. No different than a bottle of whiskey or scotch.

This is why politician couples like the clintons or the mcgreevys have open and sexual trists and the DBM does not even bother to cover it.

They don’t care Hillary has sexual orgasms with Huma, they don’t care McGreevy has threesomes with his wife and homosexual partner because they WANT that deviance to be accepted so they can get in on the action. (reporters are those nerdy lonely yearbook kids in schools which had no yearbook budget)

The problem is that, even if Sally Kerns is cleared in a court of law, she will have lost a pretty penny in lawyer’s fees.

There are those that cannot afford a lawyer, and therefore will not receive justice. That is the real scary part.

Remember the “good ol’ days” when homosexuals insisted all they wanted was to be left alone. No special treatment, just a life without hassle if they choose to share it with a same-sex partner? That attitude didn't last very long, did it?

They lied.

I think it’s really more a matter of the constant dissatisfaction of our current lives and the desire to change for what we think would be better. I can’t recall a single time in my life when someone has said not to bother to work on improving something, it’s good enough like it is! We certainly tend to adjust to current circumstances and want something more.

Until we read Saul Alinski’s Rules for Radicals and start using their techniques back against them, we’ll see more attempts to shut down free speech with tactics like this. We need to deal with this the “Chicago Way.”

Completely consistent with the ideals exhibited in corporatist marketing campaigns.   Anything goes as long as it sells product.
 
The knowledge that folks can be manipulated via their instinctive sexual urges is nothing new.  It's a fact well illustrated by the prostitutes employed by the Delphic temple district, over 2000 years ago.

Let’s not go the way of Canada, where one can be fined and imprisoned for openly speaking up against the gay activist agenda.

Presumably one who espouses these convictions also believe is a God who vindicates the just and merciful.

You lost me. Are you comparing God’s justice with human laws? One is definitely not a reflection of the other. In God’s court of law there will not be lawyers that try to justify criminal acts.

I agree with you 100%. And am glad the Congresswoman is getting this into the Court arena. I hope it goes all the way to the SCOTUS! Maybe then, we can finally take back free speech, and stop the assault on all things GOOD about America.

This and what is going on in countries like Canada, where freedom of speech and religion has essentially been eliminated due to hate speech and "anti-discrimination" laws, is proof that Kern was right -- homosexuality is a greater threat to the country than terrorism.

Terrorists don't have the power to erode or eliminate free speech, freedom of association or freedom of religion. Homosexual activists and their leftists allies have proven that they do.

You’re welcome. I wrote her because she will probably enjoy hearing something supporting her instead of the crap she’s had do endure from the left.

The Constiutional right to free speech protects you from government attempts to silence you or control what you say. It doesn’t protect you from individuals or from organizations objecting to your comments.
