More Crazy from the State Board of Ed

Cynthia Noland Dunbar, a member of the conservative gang on the Texas State Board of Education, recently wrote an article for the Christian Worldview Network. She began by saying, "Can we truly even imagine an America under an Obama Administration? I sincerely believe that an Obama Administration would ultimately mean one thing…the end of America as we know her."

Ok, so she's going for the Republican-invoking-fear thing. That's great. Also, the accusation that Obama is going to destroy American really only appeals to the uneducated, and since Dunbar is a member of the State Board of Education, she knows just how badly the board has failed, and that there are a whole lot of uneducated people in Texas.

Next, she says, "I cannot understand how we can potentially elect a man who most likely has violated the Constitution in his very attempt to serve as Commander and Chief."

I'm going to agree with Rachel Maddow here, and say that a Republican complaining about the violation of the Constitution can be compared to Colonel Sanders fighting for chicken rights.

Dunbar's argument is that Obama is not an American citizen because of time spent in Indonesia as a child. This fits right in with the whole Republican strategy of trying to make God-fearin' real Americans afraid of the foreigner socialist that is trying to take all their hard-earned money.

She then goes on to say that the courts will do nothing about this because of "our own militant leftist Judicial Branch." Excuse me? Bush has appointed only the most hard-core right-wingers to serve on the Federal bench during his administration. Dunbar needs to look no further than our own state to see that the judicial branch is definitely not militantly leftist.

Dunbar continues to ramble on and on about how if Obama is elected, the country will naturally be under martial law, but offers no evidence or even possible scenarios to back this up. It's pretty much, Obama is elected, and then, boom, martial law.

She closes with this: "I fear for our great nation and her potential demise should we as Americans elect Sen. Obama. I shall take no joy in saying 'I told you so' if Obama gets elected. But just for the record, remember, 'I told you so.'"

Alright, this is the person who helps decide what your children will learn. How blind are we that we will elect a person who seems mentally unstable and full of hate to serve in a position that affects kids? Unfortunately, Dunbar's seat is not up for election this year, but when it is, we need to get her out of there.
