Wow, what a pleasant diatribe from smiley Michael. You can take up the subject of political hatred with Billy Boy if you want.

Democrats Blast Religious Conservatives for Blocking 'Tornado Control' Legislation OKLAHOMA CITY, OK - Democrats in the Oklahoma State Legislature are blaming the religious right for defeating a bill that would have regulated tornadoes. Said one Christian Conservative, "Tornadoes are an an act of God and are therefore not subject to regulation." Oklahoma Democrats, however, beg to differ! The bill that they introduced would have required God to file a 'Tornado Permit' three days prior to the day that he hoped to unleash the twister. Upon approval of the permit, God would have to respect established 'Tornado Free Zones' in and around populated areas and trailer parks. To insure compliance by the Maker of Heaven and Earth the bill would have fined churches and synagogues within the State $100,000 for each infraction of the law. Republicans in the Legislature refused to allow the bill to come to the floor for a vote and had the bill killed in committee. This led one Democratic legislator to blast the GOP by saying, "Everyone knows that tornadoes kill! Something needs to be done! By defeating this bill the Republicans have shown that they support death and destruction at the hands of God through the use of tornadoes. I hope that their actions will prove to Americans once and for all the the Republican party cares nothing about their health and safety."
