Terror In America

On this day after, terror is definitely on people's minds.  The terrorist attacks on the U.S. in 2001 were awful.  There have been quite a few of those in the history of America.  In 1920 there was a TNT bomb on Wall street.  In 1993 there was a bomb in the World Trade Center.  In 1975 there was one the Fraunces Tavern in New York.  And then there was that one outside the federal office building in Oklahoma City.  (InfoPlease.com)


The one happening in OK makes the next story sound just a little odd.  Oklahoma Republican state legislator Sally Kern thinks that homosexuality is "the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism..."  (RightwingWatch.org) One would think that folks like Tim McVeigh are more of a threat then say Elton John or Ellen DeGeneres.


She thinks that "bombarding" young people with a "homosexuality is normal" message is more dangerous than car bombs.  Or perhaps more dangerous than planes flying into tall buildings.


Maybe she should be bombarded with something.
