Anybody see this in the Gazette?

It's on there!

I do think we need a national, rational discussion on drowning politicians.

Better yet, let's talk about building a gallows on Capital Hill and hanging most of Congress. Cheaper than a couple of new pandas for the National Zoo and every bit as entertaining.

However, people assume because I am conducting this discussion on drowning politicians, I am somehow against politicians.

Let me be clear: Just like my family sits down to hash out an issue, I want to bring the people of Oklahoma together to talk about drowning politicians.

That’s it. We’re just going to talk about it. All sides will be included.

Does this also apply to "former" politicians? I once served a term as a school board member, and I'd hate to think I need to avoid all sources of water. Someone might even "test the turkey myth" that turkeys can drown themselves by looking up in a rainstorm, by trying it on politicians and former politicos.

Hey, don't sweat it pal, we just want to start a conversation on it.

Gotta admire the tenacity with which some people will cling to false, discredited ideas.

The thing is, we had debates and vigorous discussions. About SYG, concealed carry, open carry, everything the anti-2A, anti-freedom, pro-criminal, pols and media are against. They lost. And were proven wrong when NONE of their apocalyptic predictions of blood in the streets and a return to the wild west came true. Now, because they've managed to torture the facts in one case to suit their narrative, they think they're entitled to subject us to another round of tired, authoritarian, counter-reality arguments. They are wrong. Period. End of story. They didn't listen to our arguments then, they don't respect facts now. Granting them a debate at this point won't change their minds and lends their position a legitimacy it in no way deserves.

Pretty good representative of most of his constituents. He represents nice, well educated, and successful neighborhoods.

Not seeing you in person here, so I have to ask....

......is your tongue firmly implanted in your cheek?

He answered, but I'll also point you to a map for Ok house District 97 -----> http://www.okhouse.gov/Documents/Districts/2012/HD97 Reduced.pdf

 

[TerryMiller]

I've already seen that map. I'd like to see the demographics for that district to see how many Democrats there are compared to other surrounding districts. What do they look like when compared to the full Oklahoma City area? Since a fair part of that district is on the NE side of the city, what parts of the district are most densely populated? After all, the representative hasn't had much competition for his seat.

Anyone that grew up around here knows why and how someone with his opinions would be representing that district.

Pretty much. TBH I grew up in Tulsa but the ten year stint in the okc metro got me acquainted with the demographics.
