The statue with sitting a figure of Satan and smiling children next to it was modeled from the other famous pagan idol, Santa Klaus.
In 2012, Oklahoma State legislature authorized building a 10 Commandments monument on the grounds of the state Capitol. And last week, arguing that by allowing a Christian monument Oklahoma should also allow religious monuments from other faiths, a Satanic Temple from New York formally filed an application for a Satanic-themed monument in the Oklahoma Capitol building. Here are 10 reactions to the proposed Satanist monument.
1) Trait Thompson, chairman of Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Commission: “Our commission has made it clear that Satanists will get a monument when Hell freezes over. And… well, gee… thanks a LOT, gosh-darned polar vortex!”
2) American Atheists: “We also would like this opportunity to erect a monument of our own, but since we don’t really have a holy figure of our own, for now we’re considering erecting a statue of prophet Mohammed, so that we could offend both Christians AND Muslims at the same time.”
3) State Representative Earl Sears: “A monument to Satan stands against everything we believe in here in the Oklahoma State legislature! We’re doing Christ’s work here in the Capitol! Now get out of my way, I’m late for a vote to take away the school lunches from the sick and poor kids!”
4) Satan: “Yay! I’m famous!… Ughh, never mind, it’s Oklahoma…”
5) State Representative Don Armes: “This is the 21st century, and we need to be tolerant of all people who think different than us. Well, as long as they’re Christians, of course.”
6) Oklahoma Cattle Rancher Association: “Our organization is offended by this goat-headed disgrace. Seriously, considering our proud Oklahoman traditions, would it kill them to make the statue with a head of Hereford or Angus bull?”
7) Tea Party of Oklahoma: “We’re actually Ok with the monument, as long we are allowed to carve the words ‘Barack Obama’ at the base of the statue.”
8) National Rifle Association: “Our American way of life is once again under attack! We strongly urge all patriotic gun owners to buy more guns to protect Jesus!”
9) Mary Fallin, Governor of Oklahoma: “We understand that the First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion, and we would gladly accept the monuments from any other religion. What we will not allow is a monument from bogus pseudo-religions like Satanism, Buddhism or Islam.”
10) Larry Rudolph, Miley Cyrus’ manager: “I hope this monument is completed soon. Miley is planning to film her next music video this spring, and a statue of Satan is pretty much the only thing she still hasn’t licked in one of her videos.”

D.C. Slated for Demolition As luck would have it, all of the historic monuments and buildings in Washington, D.C. (e.g., the Lincoln Memorial , the National Mall , the Pentagon , the U,S. Capitol Building , the Supreme Court Building , the Washington Monument , and the White House ) have all underwent recent “renovation” or “construction” projects (see list below), which may or may not have allowed for the insertion of explosives which could be detonated via remote control at a future date.

There are lots of icons from blockbuster motion pictures while in the 80’s from which you can pick to mimic.
But apparently the remake, according to Hot Air, is also supposed to be a parable of drone warfare,
that marvelous strategy employed by the Obama administration to
take out enemies of civilization in the Middle East and Central Asia.
Add Hollywood veterans Ray Liotta, James Earl Jones,
Amy Madigan and Timothy Busfield to the mix, and there’s no doubt Field of Dreams
has serious acting chops.
