One reason to love Oklahoma.
If you haven't read the article about the Westboro baptist church going to McAlester Oklahoma on Saturday , then let me fill you in. As you know the Westboro Baptist church protests at Military funerals, holding signs that say God hates fags etc. telling the grieving families they are glad their son or daughter died, because God hates queers. The reason their son or daughter died is because the military allows queers.
When they showed up in McAlester Oklahoma for a funeral, not only did all the people of the town show up , to counter protest against the westboro church, so that no one in the grieving family could hear westboro's hate message, ( all they heard were the towns people saying God Bless America )etc... But when the westboro church returned to there cars , they found their tires slashed , and not one single tire shop in town would repair their tires. They had to call AAA to tow them somewhere else.
I absolutely love this story and I love the people of McAlester for standing up for what is right. I need new tires on my truck, I think I'll drive down to McAlester even though it's 2 and a half hours away, and get some new tires, before the month is out.
Oh one more thing , they tried to eat breakfast in several cafes but where refused service.
