Sallisaw Area Legislator is a Vile Monster

John Bennett is an Embarrassment to Oklahoma 

Sallisaw Republican John Bennett has distinguished himself in the last few years as a person who is openly bigoted towards Muslims. A few years ago he referred to Muslims as a "cancer" that needed to be "cut out of America." What started out as a display of militant ignorance and Islamophobia is now threatening Americans who are practitioners of the Islamic faith in Oklahoma.

Prior to World War II the Nazis enacted Nuremberg Laws that imposed anti-Jewish statutes and sought to remove Jewish influences from German society. Sadly, Bennett says he wants to pass similar laws in Oklahoma. Today at the State Capitol, Bennett said he is working on legislation to remove the Council on American-Islamic Relations from the state of Oklahoma.

There is little doubt that this man represents the majority who elected him to office, which means that it's not just him but the culture in which he lives that has promoted his radicalism. It is clear many in Oklahoma agree with him but I wonder if those who do understand the evil in which they are promoting? If not, I hope they awaken soon and recognize the wickedness they are allowing to exist.

The OKGOP leadership agreed to spend $50,000 in doing a study about Islam whose sole intent was to marginalize a tiny number of American Muslims who have done nothing to deserve the hatred. He did these things and presented the results and refused to allow American Muslims the right to respond to the study. And further, he called them terrorists because they are Muslims.

Sorry but this barbaric rhetoric and demagoguery is akin to that of a low level member of the Nazi Party in pursuit of a pure Aryan society. This kind of person should not be near a political office and is an embarrassment to the state of Oklahoma.

2022 PLATFORM

  2022 PLATFORM Here’s my own personal public policy platform. It’s not complete and is still a work in progress. It applies to state, local and national policies. This platform builds from one I produced in 2016 and 2020. I’m happy to say that some of those items were modified or taken off my 2022 because they were addressed by the governments in which they were directed.  CRAIG DAWKINS 2022 PLATFORM I believe liberty extends to every human being and the role of government is to ensure maximum freedom for every person by using vested power to protect individuals from aggression, both foreign and domestic, in preservation and respect for all human rights. Principles of Personal Liberty: 1.            Marriage Equality: Human beings have an inherent right to enter marital relations and contracts with any person who has reached the legal age of consent. “Traditional Marriage” laws, book and speech bans about LGBTQI...

Racism and Scapegoating Still Sells in America

Disbelief that it could was core to election outcome and shock. This is not another “they’re all racists” editorial. Nor would such an opinion written convince people to not be racist, or to even cause them to engage in enough self-reflection to recognize their own collectivist racism. This is about the process that we now undeniably see in the new “Alt-Right” Republican Party and the process of winning through scapegoating. It was a steadfast disbelief in the idea that there were enough Americans who could or would be galvanized by such messaging against Mexicans, Muslims, immigrants, women, and others. Oh I know, some are thinking it’s time to stop reading, thinking I’m just going to call names. But of course I’m talking about the manner in which President-Elect Trump spoke during his campaign. Every single one of the points made above can be substantiated with unaltered video evidence. But there are some that support Trump who have evolved from, ‘he never said that’ to ‘well he ...

Stop Blaming the Russians for the Loss

Accept Responsibility for the Loss and Take Legitimate Steps to Reform Your Party  Stop Blaming the Russians for the Loss.... Even IF you believe the Russian hack was an organized attempt to tilt the election in favor of Trump, it could only be effective by showing the unvarnished dialogue about their primary process and incestuous relationship between the DNC and old line media outlets. For the first time in our nation's history, Americans received real time transparency, during a presidential election, of what was going on inside the DNC infrastructure with regard to how they tilted the outcome away from Bernie Sanders and towards Hillary Clinton. In a system of only two major parties, it's more than relevant to see how insurgent candidates, who are outside the party establishment, are treated by party leadership and operatives. What we found out was what was suspected. The GOP demonstrated the exact same antipathy for their insurgent candidate, only it was very public...
