The woman who’s dressed up like a Chesapeake Arena usher is Carolyn McLarty. She’s a national committeewoman for the Oklahoma GOP, devout Trumponian and was the third place finisher in a 2017 special election Republican primary to replace Bryce Marlatt – the Christian State Senator who had too many of what you would call a bourbon and Coke, and assaulted an Uber driver.
On Friday afternoon, the State GOP emailed a column by Dr. Carolyn – she deceptively uses the title “Dr.” despite only being a veterinarian – to everyone on its email list. It’s a great read, especially if you want a terrifying look inside the logic-defying brains of the people who run the State GOP, or enjoy the ramblings of right-wing evangelical nutjobs who attempt to discredit other faiths based on political ideology, while being totally oblivious to their own hypocrisy-drenched lunacy.
Check out this madness. Once again, remember that it was emailed to everyone on the Oklahoma GOP’s email list.
Beware: Wolves in Sheeps’ clothing are coming to Oklahoma City!
There is an anti-Trump “Evangelical Christian” group called “Vote Common Good” touring the country. Sound delightful, right? Wrong!
They are a Progressive Christian troupe that promotes a socialist agenda. They would like nothing less than to flip Congress away from Republican control, yet they say they are non-partisan.
Yep, watch out everyone. The Progressive Christians are coming! And get this, they subscribe to a partisan political ideology. Hard to believe, huh? Thank Baby Jesus that churches and religious leaders in Oklahoma – like James Lankford, Sally Kern or the House Chaplain – don’t mix partisan politics with religion like those evil “Progressive Christians.” The last thing we want is for Oklahoma politicians to have political views that are more closely aligned with the teachings of the Christ.
The “common good” is an idea right out of the Marxist Communist Manifesto. Socialism and communism have never worked. A market economy with private property, individual liberty, personal responsibility, respect for the dignity of life for every person, and the rule of Law does work.
Yep, the “common good” is straight out of the Marxist Communist Manifesto… which I guess is why Comrade Donald Trump said this during his 2017 joint address to congress:
True love for our people requires us to find common ground, to advance the common good, and to cooperate on behalf of every American child who deserves a much brighter future.
Well, it’s official. Trump is advocating that we advance the Marxist Communist Manifesto! I guess Dr. Carolyn is going to have to retract her endorsement of his presidential campaign.
Here’s more from Dr. Carolyn’s article:
We have witnessed the mob rule antics of the Democrat left in Washington, D.C. recently. They are desperate to gain control of their “progressive” agenda. They are well funded, and are doing everything imaginable to grab power – even use “Christianity” as a cover.
What is a Progressive Christian? A Progressive Christian is not a Christian at all!
Progressive Christianity is another liberal theology. It is a feel good, do good, humanistic attempt to co-opt the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ…
Okay, so basically “Progressive Christianity” is a lot like Evangelical christianity. They are well-funded, do everything imaginable to grab power and even use “Christianity” as a cover for political views. I guess the only difference is that Progressive Christians are nicer and less judgmental:
The second of their eight points of doctrine is proof. They “Affirm that the teachings of Jesus provide but one of many ways to experience the Sacredness and Oneness of life, and that we can draw from diverse sources of wisdom in our spiritual journey;” (1)
Don’t be deceived by this misleading statement and movement. There is only one way to God, and that is through the finished work of Jesus Christ. His sacrifice for our sin was sufficient for all human beings. The Bible is very clear on this truth, and it points us to Jesus in every Book of the Old and New Testaments. With all the differences in various beliefs of Christian denominations, this truth is THE core of the Gospel. Individuals believe and receive Jesus as a gift of faith; or not.
I don’t know about you, but after reading this I think the only “way to God” is by joining the Oklahoma Republican party.
Beware false prophets, even in a big red bus!
The Republican Party stands for many truly Biblical values. We believe in the principles upon which this country was founded – love of God, country, and family.
Beware false prophets even in the big red bus? Sorry lady. I think I’ll fear the actual Big Red Bus.
Anyway, knowing that the Republican Party stands for many truly Biblical values – and knowing that Trump is repeating Marxist Communist Manifesto talking points – obviously Dr. Carolyn retracted her endorsement of his presidency, and has called for a full investigation into his business background and affairs.
President Trump is keeping his promises: the economy is booming; the unemployment rate is a stunningly low; there are millions of new jobs; wage growth is up; tax cuts passed; religious freedoms are upheld;
Jerusalem is the site of our Israel Embassy; ISIS is nearly extinct; North Korea is working toward denuclearization; we are respected around the world; and we have two new conservative Justices on the Supreme Court! Not bad for just two years!
President Trump needs our support and he needs to keep the support of the Congress – the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives – to continue improving our country!
I’ll continue to vote for individual excellence; not a “common good.”
I checked the online thesaurus for antonyms of “excellence.” She probably should have used one of these words instead:
• Failure
• Imperfection
• Inferiority
If you’re bored or have a few seconds, I’d suggest you check out the Progressive Christianity website. I think all forms of organized religion are kind of silly, and trying to intertwine today’s laws with 2,000 old views is dumb, but it is kind of weird to read the views of Christians who have a compassionate and positive worldview that more closely mirrors the teachings of their savior. It’s no wonder that evangelical lunatics like Dr. Carolyn who use Christianity as a front for their regressive and authoritarian political views fear them.
Did anyone else silently read her words in a Miss Piggy voice?
Don’t hate on Miss Piggy like that.
The SNL “Church Lady” voice, maybe?
“God told me to hate you”
As a Christian, I firmly believe that a lot of self-professed Christians won’t actually see heaven. They have far more in common with the pharisees than they do with Jesus.
And perhaps Carolyn is one of them?
According to the Bible and Jesus teachings unless you “Love your neighbor as yourself” you are not a Christian. I see no Christianity when you single out others to hate because they are trans, gay, lesbian or any of the LGBTQ community. Jesus did not qualify it by listing exceptions. Besides, she is not the judge, God decides and His decisions mean more to me than anything this poor ignorant woman says. She needs to study the New Testament closet. She’s closer to the Pharisee and maybe even the Philistines than to what Jesus taught.
Yeah, because what did the Bible ever say about helping the poor?

She seems nice.
Progressive Christianity website is well and good – but for those who have any interest, one of the world’s leading progressive Christian thinkers and authors, Robin Meyers, somewhat ironically resides RIGHT HERE in Oklahoma City and preaches at Mayflower UCC. Sure, maybe trying to weave 2000 year old teachings into today’s world is kinda dumb and silly, but to be really sure of it, why not try listening to or reading a little of his work, if you haven’t already. His sermons are on their website. His books are on Amazon. It’s compelling, powerful and intelligent. The venerable Ms McLarty no doubt hates him.
until you churchies start adequately ‘splaining why the schism of the first council at Nicea doesnt destroy every ounce of credibility you could ever claim I won’t be listening to the words of any of you. Give me the vedas any day of the week.

Hypocrisy..if you don’t see it in a Christian, then you aren’t looking.
: )
One of my personal pet peeves is when people use the loading areas at Lowes or Home Depot as their personal parking space, making it difficult for those of us who need to pull up and load heavy and bulky items – just such selfish behavior. The employees hate it too, and sometimes have to go searching the store to find the self-absorbed folks who do it.
A few years back I saw Mr Meyers park his little VW bug right in front of the door, and then stroll in and go shopping. I called on Jehovah to smite him, but He didn’t do it, probably because I don’t believe in Him, and Robin do.
Liberal Christians like to de-emphasize the Old Testament, because there, God is a grade A asshole, like when He sent down two bears to kill 42 children because they made fun of Elisha’s bald-head. Liberal Christians like to think He re-branded Himself into a happier, kinder, more loving version of an all-powerful being, because He sent down His son, which is Himself, to get tortured and murdered by us, and that somehow paid a debt to Himself, and got Him to friend us.
Actually a lot of liberal Christians don’t really believe in any of the supernatural stuff, but just admire most of the things that they believe that Jesus said – the things that were written down some 60 or so years after he lived. We all know how accurate those accounts probably are. I can’t recount conversations I had last week. Can somebody in Robin’s church write down a sermon he gave past year, word for word?
I’ll leave the wrangling over a 2000 year old corpse to all you Bronze Age acolytes. Just leave the rest of us out of it, okay?
You should provide email contact information so maybe some of us who are “progressive Christians” can respond to her rantings.
That would be amazing! I’ve never heard anyone utter the phrase “common good”as if it were profane. What a wretched woman.
Veterinarians are not doctors? I think that is supposed to be satire, but it’s pretty ironic considering how often Patrick accuses Republicans/conservatives/right wingers of being anti science.
I think what he was getting at was that She is using her DR title to give her statements for weight than what they are. There is a common tactic with creationists where they have a theology Doctorate and insist on being called Dr so and so. They have no more knowledge on the subject than you or I but want to fool people that because they are doctors they have more knowledge on the subject.
Thank you. Anyone who can prescribe pills (even for an animal) deserves to be called Dr.
Contrast that with goofy Jill Biden, who has a conniption fit if anyone fails to address her as “doctor,” even in non-academic situations, like Starbucks. Girlfriend has a doctorate in sociology, doe. SMDH
A recent survey found that even among those who describe themselves as “Evangelical” a majority believe “God accepts the worship of all religions”. Which as the good “doctor” here points out is quite soundly refuted by the New Testament.

Well you know there is so much hatefulness in the Bible its hard to keep it all straight sometimes
I’m confused. Does she mean I’m a sinning if I bring a casserole to the Wendesday night fellowship dinner with the intent of sharing with others? Or inorder to properly worship Baby Jesus I should just eat all of it myself without sharing and be offended if Ms. Jackson offers me some of her potato salad. Which is a shame because it’s really, really good potato salad.

Dr McLard Ass.
Why are there so many of these “you’re not a Christian unless I say you are” people in Oklahoma? Sadder yet, why can’t these “Christians” understand there are a lot of good people who follow other religions, or no religion at all.
Umm, veterinarians are doctors, we earned that degree and it took as much school as any other doctorate does. As a previous commenter said you can’t complain about the right being anti science and not realize that veterinarians go through the same education, same pre med classes, and same doctoral classes, just about animals instead of people. Biggest difference is that getting into vet school is more selective since there are only 28 vet schools in the country.
I’m totally aware of the schooling and work it takes to become a veterinarian. I’m still going to make fun of vets who use the title “Dr” outside of their practice.
Showed this to my brother the vet. He said you should take a very long walk off a very short pier.
BTW my title “Dr.” comes from a PhD.
I personally feel like it is inappropriate for ANYONE to use the “Doctor” title outside of their professional area. I don’t expect to be called “Master” because I have a masters’ degree.
Counterpoint: making people call you Master because of your Master’s degree is awesome.
Ha, YES!!!
Don’t insist on it, but I don’t argue if someone calls me “Doc” without reference to where we are.
Its one thing if others choose to call you doctor, not an issue with that. Its when people intentionally use the title to try to enhance their opinions and make others think they know more. Or people use the title “doctor” but in an area where they have not earned it. Like “Doctor” Laura, who has a doctorate in biological sciences but uses the title in a manner that would make one thing it is in behaviorial sciences instead of life sciences. Or a theater director who used the title when directing but his degree is in hard sciences. I know people who do it ………….
