Forgot about that. Well at least it doesn't say "If you can read this, the b!tch fell off."

How do you know it doesnt?   ;)

Meanwhile, heres the latest RWE wedge in the constitution's carcass:


"What will disqualify them has really nothing to do with Satan, as such. It's that it has no historical significance for the State of Oklahoma," said Rep. Paul Wesselhoft. "The only reason why the Ten Commandments qualified is because at the Capitol, what we do is we make laws. We are lawmakers. Well, one of the earliest laws we have are the Ten Commandments. So therefore, it has historical significance."


So why were the Confederate flags and Swastikas removed from the state capitol?
They were both prominently displayed there, and both have huge historical significance to our state.  Do we need a history lesson?

That's not going to fly, if it wasn't for Satan we wouldn't need laws at all.

We are a Christian nation and we were founded that way so it follows that a monument to the Christian faith is right in line with our history and the growth of our nation. There is nothing historic or in our past to support a satan monument, most likely that movement  it's being done just for spite and for the hate of Christians. Yes to the 10 comandments (10 good rules to follow even if your not a Christian) and a big "NO" to anything else :)

Something just hit me... Have you been outside City Hall around lunch time for the last couple of weeks?

EDIT - Actually, more like off and on since mid-November, I think.

You're one of the guys you can ask "what's the 10 commandments say?" and you'd remember 2...maybe.

The Second Commandment is to keep and bear arms if I recall right.

And I think the First Commandment is admitting you have a problem.

And there's the 3.2 Commandment "Thou shalt not drink 3.2 beer in sight of the Lord lest He smite thee mightily, dumbass."

I figured there'd be some smiting and smoting in there.
