Proposed law would block judges from using sharia law and international law

[Red Arrow]

Oklahoma has to pass more unconstitutional laws than any other state. 

We can be NUMBER 1 in something.

I was wondering about that when I read the Plan B story.

I rest my case.

The State sponsored Protestant Ten Commandments monument is being challeneged and the most recent abortion law has just been suspended by the Courts.

Any bets on CF's head really exploding over this pic?

As long as it's kept off public land, should be fine.

Unreasoning paranoia at its finest by jamesimpotentrage.

Do you really think any Oklahoma judge is going to cite sharia law in any case?

Ya never know- It's better to be safe than sorry. There could one day be some liberal judge or even a Muslim judge somewhere who may slip in some Sharia Law. At least we will have that back door covered now. The people voted to support this law by a huge number.

I think we have the best governor in all the 50 states, that says something. Oklahoma's gov was also voted some top place at the governors meeting last month in Wisconsin. I forgot exactly what title they voted for Oklahoma's governor. Mary Fallin is one of the most popular governors around.

Someone's been watching too much porn lately, being worried about sharia law being slipped in the back door and all.

Wondering why it has been quiet around here....Damned teabaggers.

Oh wait, their not.

Perhaps those in here that rip on this state are the ones with the problem after all. Them, and apparently the same 5-6 people they talk to from other states that supposedly think we are a bunch of rubes. Looking your way heiron, CF and cust. That sound you are hearing is slow fail....

A story about a staff writer talking about how people around the country forget we exist...not exactly glowing.  

Apparently minstrels will not be singing about our glorious deeds anytime soon...a fiddle dee dee.

Michael Overall: Oklahoma wins title of most forgotten state

I've driven across Upstate New York a couple of times, which hardly makes me an expert on the place.

But from what I could tell, the people are perfectly willing to smile and look you in the eye. And they can speak in complete sentences without dropping any F-bombs.

That is to say, they are nothing like the other species of New Yorker that you find swarming the streets of the Big Apple.

So the Upstaters are understandably upset by a recent survey that declared New York the "rudest state in America."

Factor out The City, they say, and New York is no worse than Pennsylvania or Massachusetts. And not half as bad as New Jersey.

Oklahoma, of course, didn't even register on the who's-the-rudest question.

We're obviously the nicest state in America, a reputation solidified after the Oklahoma City bombing and reaffirmed most recently by the we're-all-in-this-together attitude that impressed the whole country after the Moore tornado.

Off the grid: Everybody knows we're the salt of the earth, right?

Apparently not.

On the question "which state is nicest?" Oklahoma got barely a handful of votes last week in the Business Insider survey, ranking well behind Colorado, Oregon and Wisconsin.

Even California got more votes.

Seriously. California.

Ever get stuck in an L.A. traffic jam? The middle finger is virtually the state motto.

But somehow they rank ahead of Oklahoma - where people willingly start traffic jams just to let perfect strangers turn left.

The fact is, Oklahoma barely registered on any of the survey questions.

Weirdest accent?

Not even close.

Best food?

Not at all.

Most arrogant?

Obviously not.

Craziest people?

No.

Smartest? No.

Dumbest? No.

Ugliest residents?

Well, we got a few votes. But no.

Worst scenery?

Finally, we were competitive, but Kansas got the nod.

Salt in the wound: Frankly, for the most part, our fellow Americans simply ignored us on the survey.

And that's why Oklahomans should feel more slighted than Upstate New Yorkers.

As one syndicated columnist observed last week, people in New York City feel the same way about towns Upstate as they do about Oklahoma City.

"They are only vaguely sure they actually exist."

Never mind New Yorkers. Our problem is that even people in Little Rock seem to forget us.

And that's just rude.

Original Print Headline: State wins title of most forgotten

We're never mentioned during election cycles because we're known to be broken.  "So closed minded, Oklahoma won't even think about it."

Now, there's a ringing endorsement...we are the most unknown....yep, that's us!  It's not even worth the effort to remember we are here...!!??

Except for that laughingstock stuff... but hey, whatever makes you feel better.  So, tell me again, why is it all that business activity hasn't appeared after all that "business friendly" stuff we have done.  We should have outpaced Texas for years!  (We haven't.)  Prime example - Micron Technology - one of the big players in high technology - who came to OK and ended up saying that dealing with OK was like dealing with kindergarten kids.  THAT is the reputation we have...and if you think ALL the rest of the business world doesn't share that experience, well, geez...open some eyes!

The lengths some in here will go to run this state down. Amazing.
