Utah GOP removes homo-hater from leadership position
(OKLAHOMA CITY) This removal of a senior GOPer from his chair position and membership on the Judicial Standing Committee is coming from Utah, now seemingly the second reddest state in the union AFTER Oklahoma if we use the November, 2009 election as the scale. (http://tinyurl.com/c4oxjy)
Even the leading newspaper of Salt Lake City is referring to Sen. Buttars as a dinosaur. (http://www.sltrib.com/Opinion/ci_11742757
Senator Buttars can't keep his mouth shut and prefers to use it as a flatulence relief valve for the gas pressure building up in his body. He never met a GLBT person he couldn't hate, and besides he says they're "mean."
Imagine if the Oklahoma branch of the GOPer party had stood up off its four legs on to two, acted like intelligent humans and told toxic Oklahoma Rep. Sally Kern to remove herself from the party until she could conduct herself in a civil manner on the House floor or in front of a news camera or microphone. Kern is also famous for deriding the equality of America's GLBT citizens, using much of the same vocabulary as Buttars.
Are Kern and Buttars drinking the same water? For elected officials who swear to uphold the Constitution, these two examples would seem to have very limited knowledge of its contents.

But the Oklahoma version of the GOP prefers to skulk around behind closed doors and applaud Kern yet refrain from speaking in public about her. And again, little was said from the GOPers when she twice carried a gun into the Capitol building in 2008.
It would seem the Oklahoma GOPers are taking their usual view of women which is to let women do the dirty work of men, refuse women the right to their own reproductive decisions, and to make them work for less money in the same job.
Instead of thinking of Kern as toxic perhaps a better adjective would be patsy.
