Whew. No Sharia law in Oklahoma ...
 

... nor anywhere else in the US, for that matter. However, just in case Oklahoma nips it in the bud.

What a bunch of hillwilliams.:rolleyes:

Problem is, it's mostly flat and plenty of people who still wear flattops.

And to think I was once disappointed because I missed the opportunity to meet Newt.
Turns out it would have just been another encounter with a whacko. Like meeting Tom Cruise, only to find out that he really is just a dick with a huge ego.

Dave

what can one say?

God bless. :D

Anyhow.

Back to the OP.

Just another part of the GOP fearmongering/manipulation.
Create a Boogeyman, then set about saving us all from him.

Take the Gitmo detainees for example; "NOT IN MY BACKYARD!!!!".............
What an absurd notion, that the Obama adminstration is going to bring
Islamist terrorists to your town and just turn them loose to terrorize
your family. But, this was the assumption that was allowed to foment.

Why?

Where are the detainees now?

"Oh, my. Look. Another campaign promise broken. Tsk, tsk, tsk........."

Just another observation.

Dave

And the great Obie didn't know this when he made his promises?

Or are you saying all the big cities here are Republican :p

As far as Sharia, aren't there enclaves in France where it is allowed?

Pete

You live in France?

I've often wondered when people are going to realize the GOP has barking dogs herding it's cattle, just like the Dems do.

The only difference is that the GOPs current crop of dogs are better at convincing the cattle that the building at the end of the chute isn't a slaughterhouse.

Point is, anyone who actually thought that Obama, or any politician for that matter, could deliver on every promise is an idiot. Remember the woman crying with joy, because she thought Obama was going to buy her a car and make her house payments?-------Idiot, Pete. The woman is an idiot. What was even more interesting is that my redneck co-workers were pissed because, drum roll please-----"I'm not paying for that n***ers car!" They're idiots too.

People are cows in a pen. Waiting for the dogs to tell them which way to go, my friend.

This is the world through MY eyes.

Dave

The end of us all - a pnuematically driven rod through the skull? :)

Gitmo stands out because is was the very reason Bush was hated worldwide, so they said. Repeatedly.

Now it's forgotten. I vote sheep, not cows :p

Pete

Sheep, cows, ....a rose by any other name.........

Dave

Better'n pigs :D

Pete

Hmm, I use an IRC chat with worldwide members. Yep, Bush was hated worldwide, really hated, still hated, but they tell me it was Obama making contacts soon after he was elected elected that got us the forgiveness. And none of it is forgotten.
I would like to know what Tony Blair really thinks.
And of course there were the GOP criticisms of Obama for doing this...

I must tell these guys their sadly mistaken. :p

Let me get this straight. Bush creates an intractable mess at Gitmo for which he and the USA get a big black eye in the international community. Obama wants to resolve it, but the NIMBY crowd (with the overt support of the GOP) succeeds in frightening the Americans about terrorists in their backyards and effectively causes the effort to be scuttled. And it's Obama's fault. Got it.:confused:

He didn't know that? Wasn't our leader a Senator, and smart?

Where's world opinion on gitmo now? Give the Pres another peace prize ;)

Pete

They now understand our policies and as a result are less outraged.

Bush boy should have tried it.

Another hot-topic non-issue, sure to be filed in the round filing cabinet of time. Everyone knows that you can file your petition to the international court of appeals under the proper conditions: sent in triplicate to the GPS coordinates 0,0, addressed to Santa Clause. Way to squander your 15 minutes of fame OK, was your new state heuristic to look stupid, utter boredom, or trying to be Texas but failing terribly. New state slogan, ”Come to Oklahoma, we’re not too bright, but we like to piss people off”.

“This man stole my cheeseburger and I would like to invoke the Code of Hammurabi.”

“It was only a horse your honor and according to Hittite Law it was lawful, and furthermore Catherine the Great was fine with it as well.”

If plate tectonics worked for the betterment of humanity OK would be the size of RI and 5 miles above sea level, and this is where we could put all the politicians that waste time and money with the useless, when there are real things to fix. I am personally tired of politics as Jerry Spring meets Pro-wrestling.

How do you say that in American?

Chas

It means "your hovercraft is full of eels."

Actually, a bit of Interweb Googling says it means the following in ancient Maltese "It(she) fell, my edifice, [that] which I had been building for so long,It was not the builders’ fault, but (of) the soft clay (that lay beneath)."

I like my hovercraft translation better.

Thank you Finn.

I like your hovercraft explanation as well, more of a this is for you, this is for the horse you rode in on way of pointing out one's folly.

Even a buck toothed cretin such as myself can make the connection.

Chas

LMAO! Finn FTW!

Pete

I cannot take credit for the "hovercraft full of eels." It rightly belongs to Monty Python.

This remains one of their skits that has stuck in my head for decades. Enjoy.:D

I'm impressed Finn, a man who humbly gives credit to those who deserve it.

Stay out of politics, they'll eat you alive!!!

Chas

Man, I miss Monty Python. Growing up with Monty Python's Flying Circus probably had much to do with my warped mind.

I popped out of the hatch a half a bubble off. Life's experiences have simply made me worse.

Chas

You were/are not alone.:p

I description that only a construction man could properly appreciate.;)

Once again, my meager abilities reveal themselves.

Chas

Is that why you don't like Stanley levels?

Certainly more creative than this plodding propagator of prose.

One thing about Stanley levels, you're always a half a bubble off, depending on how you turn them.

I like their squares, at least the expensive ones. And you can't go wrong with an M77 Skilsaw, especially the new magnesium models.

You can bust one if you're a klutz, but you can't wear one out.

Chas

Your command of the King's English far exceeds mine. But I'm from Bugtussell, we hold ourselves to lower standards that the civilized world.

BTW, did I tell ya 'bout the time I knocked a squirrel outta a tree with a walnut, then chased it down and squooze it to death?

Chas

I think you proved my point.:p

D-Ray

Smart assed, big city mouthpiece!!!

Chas

Well did, sir.

I concede. I am no match for the wit on display here.

Rotflmao!

Keep your standards low for greater success in meeting them :grin:

More latin D!

Pete

I thought the FDA took that off of the market.

Chas

My ass.

My father in law was in town, from Oklahoma, over the holiday. He said that he is embarrassed to be from Oklahoma anymore because of the morons that OK puts up for office. My only bright spots now are some of the high academic ratings OU has received and the football team.

BTW Finn, after Va Tech's rotten start, it looks like we might be BCS bowl opponents this season. :)

They have to get past Florida State this weekend first in the ACC championship game in Charlotte. I didn't think that it would be too hard until I saw FSU absolutely dismantle Florida this weekend. If the Hokies meet the Sooners, we may have to make a friendly wager.

We handled FSU pretty easily this season, and it looks like Florida is just playing out the string this season. We have to play a Nebraska team that was in the national championship hunt until the Texas game. It's an interesting game. One of the reasons I hated the Big 8 becoming the Big 12 is that we lost our annual rivalry game with Nebraska. That had accounted for some memorable games. Now, this is Nebraska's last game in the Big 12 - the last game for anyone in the Big 12 as we know it. We have an extra motivation to keep Neb from taking the trophy to the Big 10.

As long as I am rambling about football (which is much better than rambling on about Oklahoma politics), the Big 12 had 4 teams with 10-2 records. No team has fewer than 2 losses in the conference. Some pretty good teams knocked off some pretty good teams. I'm 99% sure that neither TCU nor Boise State could make it through a Big 12 schedule (or SEC or Big 10 for that matter) without taking a hit or two in the course of the season. We'll see how TCU fares in a BCS bowl this year.
