10 Commandments to go on State Capitol

I hate reviving such an old topic, but it fits here...

Looks like someone didn't take too kindly to The Word being on the State Capitol grounds.  Or maybe it was just an accident.

Wonder if they found a brick taped to the gas pedal...

Now, if it was privately funded, is it really state property?

An investigation is underway by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol into the "malicious destruction of state property," according to OHP spokesman Capt. George Brown.

It could have been avoided if the Satanic statue had been there to block for it.

Probably wont happen now.  Think of the tourism that would have drawn!

Unbelievable. When this dumb state couldn't get any stranger, it suddenly does.

Maybe we can finally be 1st in something instead of 2nd or 3rd.

Don't like something, just destroy it. It's freakin hilarious.

I like all the people really mad that a religious symbol was vandalized, when they JUST had the 10 Commandments declared a secural monument.  Its almost like they just made crap up to insert their religious views over others.  It is the most intellectually dishonest display I've seen in a long time.

How will Oklahoman's now remember not to covet thy neighbor's manservant?

Too had we have a moratorium on monuments...  No way they allow a single monument, deny other religious monuments, and them create an exemption to the moratorium to install a new monument representing the state religion of Oklahoma.  Nope.  I simply can't imagine such a thing happening as it would CLEARLY show that the moratorium is a ploy to repress other religions.

The one thing that pisses me off more than anything is a good ole fashioned liar.

Also worth noting that the man was told to destroy the monument by Satan.  While I don't believe in mystical bad men... The people who put up the monument do.  So isn't his explanation plausible?  God wanted a monument, Satan didn't.  Logic!

That is the link to the 12/19/2013 meeting in question that placed the moratorium in place.  Officially, there is a "Moratorium on Consideration of All Monument Requests."

Bets that this is reinterpreted to be moratorium on consideration of all monuments requests that aren't the ten commandments?  Remember, the justification was that because of the lawsuit the proper course of action is no action.  POOF!  That justification has already been laughed at by Fallin...

But you have a very covetable manservant!

I'm wondering if copious amounts of alcohol make one better able to hear Satan. But on the other hand, I'm disappointed that it wasn't a drunk Owasso cheerleader this time. We're slipping out here in the suburbs.
