This is really interesting. Oklahoma is the only state where Obama did not win even one county in the last election. While everyone is focusing on Arizona’s new law, look what Oklahoma has been doing!

Oklahoma passed, 37 to 9, an amendment to place the 10 commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey, this is a conservative state based on Christian values! (HB 1330) Guess what ... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Oklahoma recently passed a law to incarcerate all illegal immigrants and ship them back to where they came from, unless they want to get a greencard and become an American citizen. They all scattered. (HB 1804). This was against the advice of the federal government and the ACLU; they said it would be a mistake. Guess what ... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently, they passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegals to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional. (SB 1102) Guess what ... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several weeks ago, they passed a law declaring Oklahoma as a sovereign state, not under the federal government directives. Joining Texas, Montana and Utah as the only states to do so. More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, both Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida. (HJR1003).

The federal government has taken bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming that people in that state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals. The Liberals didn't like it. But ... guess what ... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Just this month, the state voted and passed a law that all drivers license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that all of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you must read and write English. Really simple. I wish Oregon would follow suit!
