Opinion: Leave it to the Republican Party to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

While nearly every poll definitively affirms that Democrats are in deep doo-doo come November, and as leftist talking heads like Chris Matthews have already conceded a likelihood that Republicans will take the Senate in the 2014 mid-term elections, many of the GOP’s highest profile personalities obtusely refuse to take yes for an answer. They’re evidently hell-bent on disenfranchising the party’s pejoratively tagged “social issues” majority.

Stupid, stupid and stupid.

While in control, Democrats prolonged the Great Depression for years longer than it lasted in the rest of the world, instituting numerous unconstitutional socialist policies that still haunt us today. The got us into the Korean War, which has never officially ended; into the Vietnam War, that lasted 20 years and took over 58,200 American lives; and they have been in control during the past four sessions, yet have chosen not to end the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, and sat mute while Obama illegally joined the attack on Libya. They have done nothing to stop the running of guns from Libya to the al Qaeda dominated Syrian rebels, an illegal scheme that resulted in the murder of our Ambassador to Libya and three additional American government employees.

In light of the adoption travesties in recent months (Veronica Brown, Desirai Tarbox Simmons) and others that are yet to come to light, a change in the Oklahoma adoption code has been submitted as House Bill 2442.

Changes to the code include: birth fathers needing to sign relinquishment of parental rights (TPR) in front of a judge. In the past, birth fathers were able to sign away rights in the witness of a notary, or other through “extrajudicial” means. This bill requires that birth fathers terminate rights in front of a judge just as a birth mother is required to do.
