In a this could only happen in Texas type thing a member of the Texas State Board of Education, Cynthia Dunbar, in a column published in something called the Christian Worldview Network, said that Barack Obama, likely to be our next President by the end of today, is plotting with terrorists to attack the United States.
Ms. Dunbar has been asked to retract her bizarre assertions. She says "I don't have anything in there that would be retractable. Those are my personal opinions and I don't think the language is questionable."
In her column Dunbar said that there will be a terrorist attack on America during the first 6 months of Obama's administration. And that this attack "will be a planned effort by those with whom Obama truly sympathizes to take down the America that is a threat to tyranny."
Dunbar also asserts that Obama will use the terrorist attack as an excuse to declare martial law.
In response to those who are appalled and disgusted by this woman's idiocy Dunbar said, "Right now, we're still in America and we still have freedom of speech. And unless that's changed I'm not aware of it."
That freedom of speech thing includes the freedom to suggest that whoever has firing power over people on the State of Texas Board of Education should immediately remove this idiotic woman from a position where she has any say regarding the education of Texas children. Then maybe there needs to be an investigation as to how such an idiot could have been placed in such a position.
"has firing power over people on the State of Texas Board of Education"
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it's up to the voters of her district, and she's not up until 2010. On my ballot this morning - and presumably yours, unless the gerrymandering is especially creative - the choice was between a Republican and a Libertarian. Kept me from voting a straight ticket.
I'm not sure if there is an inpeachment or recall mechanism for these idiots - and there are plenty more idiots on that board.
