17 Asshat Awards in One Day!!!

Today's award comes via the UCC website. Read the full story here. So without further ado...'

Rep. John Wright, R-Broken Arrow, Oklahoma State House of Representatives, is officially awarded the Asshat Award. Another gaybashing polecat, Rep. Wright moved to strike the opening prayer from the assembly meeting because the pastor was a gay man from a church attended by LGBT's in Oklahoma.

1/5 of the State House of Representatives voted to strike it from the record as well, bringing the grand total to 17, yes seventeen awards going to Oklahoma today.

It just keeps getting more rediculous.

Lauralew said...: Pretty sad. I'm astounded that a prayer can be seen as threatening due to the pray-er. Wait, isn't that a heresy? That the validity of the sacrament is not damaged by the administrator?

Rules of engagement

Rule of Engagement... :)
Before we go any further here, I want to lay down some ground rules. As long as everyone follows these, we're golden. If you don't you will be zapped.
1. Remain civil. Mamma always says "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!" If you find yourself getting angry by something I say, or something someone else posts, step back, breathe, say a prayer, then continue.
2. This is a Christian blog, so no profanity. I'll even zap my own posts if they break this rule.
3. All viewpoints are welcome, however see rule #1. I welcome all to post as they feel lead by the Spirit, but I will not tolerate rudeness or abuse in any form. Other than these three simple rules, Welcome Aboard!
