Meanwhile, just down the road from Muskogee in Henryetta, an Okie ‘democrat’ (in the same vein that Zell Miller is a ‘democrat’) is spitting mad because the « Oklahoma Supreme Court unanimously upheld the ban on cockfighting »:
‘The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the constitutionality of the cockfighting ban approved by Oklahoma voters in 2002. The ruling ends a battle, at least for now, that began in 1999 with the circulation of an initiative petition to prohibit cockfighting in Oklahoma. An effort will be made in the Legislature to lessen the penalties for cockfighting. … In a 7-0 opinion, the Supreme Court upheld the ban’s constitutionality.’
…
’[Frank] Shurden, D-Henryetta, said he still is working on SB 835 for presentation to the Legislature this session. Last year he sent it back to conference, apparently because he needed to make changes to obtain enough votes to pass it in the Senate. Shurden said the opponents of cockfighting are taking away American traditions. “Next it will be hunting, fishing and rodeos,” Shurden said.’

That’s right, Frank. Blasted activist judges! Yup, they’re goin’ after our bloody roosters, then our babies, then our bulls, then our guns, then our god and all we’ll be left with is flamin’ homos getting married in our churches while we weep as Communist Red Army troops hold AK-47s to our heads and make us watch.
If ever there was a clueless Okie, Frank Shurden is surely it.
