A bill proposed in the Oklahoma Legislature (emphasis mine): Quote:
OKLAHOMA CITIZEN’S PROCLAMATION FOR MORALITY
We the People of Oklahoma, Invoking the guidance of Almighty God, in order to secure and perpetuate the blessing of Liberty; to secure just and rightful Government; to promote our mutual Welfare and Happiness, do establish this proclamation and call upon the people of the great State of Oklahoma, and our fellow Patriots in these United States of America who look to the Lord for guidance, to acknowledge the need for a national awakening of righteousness in our land.
WHEREAS, “It is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand” (John Adams); and
WHEREAS, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by Religion and Morality” (John Adams); and
WHEREAS, “Our Constitution was made only for a Moral and Religious people” (John Adams); and
WHEREAS, “We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government…but upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God” (James Madison); and
WHEREAS, “Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God (Benjamin Franklin); and
WHEREAS, “God who gave us life gave us liberty and can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God” (Thomas Jefferson); and
WHEREAS, “Whether any free government can be permanent, where the public worship of God, and the support of Religion, constitute no part of the policy or duty of the state” (Joseph Story); and
WHEREAS, “We hold sacred the rights of conscience, and promise to the people…the free and undisturbed exercise of their religion” (Roger Sherman); and
WHEREAS, “This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians” (Patrick Henry); and
WHEREAS, “When you…exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed upon your mind that God commands you to choose just men who will rule in the fear of God” (Noah Webster); and
WHEREAS, “The principles of genuine Liberty and of wise laws and administrations are to be drawn from the Bible” (Noah Webster); and
WHEREAS, the people of Oklahoma have a strong tradition of reliance upon the Creator of the Universe; and
WHEREAS, we believe our economic woes are consequences of our greater national moral crisis; and
WHEREAS, this nation has become a world leader in promoting abortion, pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse, and many other forms of debauchery; and
WHEREAS, alarmed that the Government of the United States of America is forsaking the rich Christian heritage upon which this nation was built; and
WHEREAS, grieved that the Office of the president of these United States has refused to uphold the long held tradition of past presidents in giving recognition to our National Day of Prayer; and
WHEREAS, deeply disturbed that the Office of the president of these United States disregards the biblical admonitions to live clean and pure lives by proclaiming an entire month to an immoral behavior;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we the undersigned elected officials of the people of Oklahoma, religious leaders and citizens of the State of Oklahoma, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world, solemnly declare that the HOPE of the great State of Oklahoma and of these United States, rests upon the Principles of Religion and Morality as put forth in the HOLY BIBLE; and
BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned, believers in the One True God and His only Son, call upon all to join with us in recognizing that “Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord,” and humbly implore all who love Truth and Virtue to live above reproach in the sight of God and man with a firm reliance on the leadership and protection of Almighty God; and
BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned, humbly call upon Holy God, our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer, to have mercy on this nation, to stay His hand of judgment, and grant a national awakening of righteousness and Christian renewal as we repent of our great sin.
Signed on the second day of July in the year of our Lord Christ Two Thousand and Nine.

Nice to see that more and more Americans are discovering that there are other countries outside the US. However, I'm not so sure about the 'world leadership' these folks claim. I thought we had taken a decent lead in these fields over here.
This is a scary piece of work, in all honesty.

I thought plutocratic gangster/crony-capitalism already was a founding moral principle of the United States? It's worked great so far.

Founding fathers were mostly deists.
The founding fathers were rich, white guys that did not want to pay taxes. They also were out fucking as much as possible- Franklin and Jefferson were famous for that.
Remember what brought people to the US in first place- RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION !!
Why can't Oklahoma go back to screwing cattle and marrying their sisters and brothers like they have been.
Poor morals never caused the recession. I did not see the porn industry asking for a bailout!!

Poor morals did cause the recession when you consider the first domino: credit/housing. Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and the like forced banks to make "diversity loans" to people who couldn't pay them back with the Community Reinvestment Act. They were getting something for their efforts, so they did this out of greed. Franklin Raines, Jaime Gorelick, the son of Roger Mudd (forget his name) and others at Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac bought this worthless paper with the help of taxpayer money to cook the books. The greater the number of these worthless loans on the books, the greater the amount of their incentive bonuses (in the 10s of millions). Greed is a bitch.

I think christian religious nuts cause tornadoes. We don't get them in NYC and its swarming with gays, greedy Wall Street fucks, porn stores and abortionists. But, they are endemic to the plains of the Bible Belt.
That's why I love NYC. Everyone is out only for themselves and not worried about who is screwing who!
The only good thing to come from Oklahoma is Chuck Norris. He should go back and kick some ass there!!

I only saw Mantle on bad knees, so I never got the worship. By the time I was able to understand the numbers I was too prejudiced against. Bench was BY FAR the best at his position I've ever seen.
