There is something about Oklahoma!

December 18, 2009 by B. Daniel Blatt

There must be something good in that wind that comes sweeping down the plain. Not a single county in the Sooner State went for Barack Obama in last fall’s election.

And while Oklahoma’s senior Senator is in Copenhagen trying to bring some sense to a politically correct multitude gathered there for the global warming conference, his junior colleague is manning the fort back in Washington, standing firm against the Democrats’ press to overhaul one-sixth of the American economy.

Time to sing a rousing salute to the state which gave us two men willing to stand athwart conventional wisdom yelling, “No.”

    Well, there is at least one good thing I can say about one of the OK senators – I do respect Dr. Coburn for this (on CSPAN this morning)

    “Said Coburn: “I try to write him about every week or two. Write him a note, encourage him. No one has a tougher job than he does… We came into the Senate together, and I just have a lot of admiration for him. I’m 180 degrees from him on policy on most issues. But I think he’s a wonderful man.”

    I too was cheering Oklahoma whenI heard Sen. Coburn on c-span this morning. He did look a little weary (probably from having to listen to all the stupidity in the Senate) so I emailed him and encouraged him to continue the fight.

    If Obama had more friends like Dr. Coburn and fewer like Jeremiah Wright, I think we’d be in good hands.

    PS: Inhofe was the last good mayor Tulsa has had.

    Oklahoma might become a refuge after things fall apart…

    How about this:

    The Health Bill Is Scary
    Government guidelines would likely have forbidden the test I used to discover Sheila’s cancer.

    No state has a better pair of senators than Oklahoma. Both are stand-up guys who are unafraid to articulate the conservative cause (and yet I think they both do it without being unnecessarily incendiary or rude). Sen. Inhofe was fighting the fight against global warming fraud before it was popular to do so, and even still, a lot of conservatives don’t have the backbone he has to point out how global warming alarmism is more about increasing the size of government than actually saving the planet. Sen. Coburn and Sen. DeMint have been, in my mind, the bright lights of the 2004 class, fighting for small government and not being just status quo Republicans. These are the sorts of guys that I think Republicans can rally around. To be sure, I didn’t agree with some of their comments about gay issues when they were running in 2004, but after five years as senators, they’ve shown that their priorities are almost entirely centered on issues of fiscal policy and the role of government, giving very little time to issues more likely to divide conservatives.

    Nice. Especially since the local yahoo politicians in Oklahoma worked really hard to pass a law to harass and demean women.

    That is a pack o’ lies.

    And your link is bullshit. What’s more, it’s the type of liberal bullshit that winds up screwing over Americans that we get over and over and over again.

    THAT’S why nobody’s buying into the fabricated hysteria the left is going for.

    Now, care to spin Ben Nelson’s church getting involved?

    to harass and demean women.

    You mean like calling a stewardess a BITCH?

    Tano, media matters has as much credibility as Keith Olbermann has kindness.

    Or talent. Or viewers.

    BTW, I heard-tell that Joy Behar has more viewers than Madcow or that slob Sgt. Schultz.

    I dunno, every time I hear anything from Oklahoma I think about the classic line from Slim Pickens in Blazing Saddles.
