She's Baaaack!

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln

Oklahoma House Rep. Sally Kern made an Easter Sunday appearance on Oklahoma City's KFOR-TV's "Flash Point" to face off with an openly gay pastor, elaborating on her recent leaked speech and defending her views.

A spirited theological and political debate ensued between Rep. Kern, host Kevin Ogle, panelists Burns Hargis and Mike Turpen, and Dr. Scott Jones of Oklahoma City's Cathedral of Hope. Rep. Kern clearly further hurts her "cause." However, I'm not sure how Dr. Jones thought he would be able to successfully defend a position that needs hours not minutes to even begin to convey. He was never really successful in getting past their grid and needed seriously to reframe their arguments. But that would be like carving stone with a spoon, so I guess props for trying. Also I will add that both sides, Kern included, kept the argument civil.
