Editorial: Pushing homosexual legislation

Tulsa Beacon

Rep. Jason Dunningham, D-Oklahoma City, wants to make it a crime for a licensed counselor to tell a client age 18 or younger that they don’t have to be a homosexual.

The current ‘revolution’ is a genuine threat to our republic

Tulsa Beacon

It appears to me that, like it or not, there is an incipient “revolution” now underway here in our republic established by ratification of the Constitution on September 13, 1788.  History has shown that nations operating as “democracies” – as opposed to tyrannies – have lasted no more that 200 years.  Unfortunately, the freedoms guaranteed…
