Could He Be Satan?

Cynthia Dunbar is the gift that keeps on giving. When she’s not rooting science out of the state’s science curriculum in her capacity as a Texas State Board of Education member or penning books subtitled “How the Left is Trying to Erase What Made Us Great,” she’s accusing Barack Obama of plotting with terrorists to destroy America.
It’s just the latest funny-if-it-wasn’t-so-scary outrage from the obscure, but powerful board of education. Dunbar and her cohorts set curriculum and textbook standards for students in Texas’ public schools.
If you recall, Dunbar got pummeled for an inflammatory anti-Obama article she wrote in November for the outer wingnut site Christian Worldview Network. Despite widespread condemnation, Dunbar has stood by her statement, telling the AP “Those are my personal opinions.”
More of Dunbar’s personal opinions have surfaced. In a column published in the Church Report Online — which may or may not be edited by the Church Lady; we’re checking on that — in September, Dunbar lobbed another screed from the fringes of the Christian Right.
The article is humbly titled: “Barack Hussein Obama would make a great Leader… of an Unconstitutional, Infanticidal, Communistic, Dictatorial Regime.”
In the article, she labels Obama “barbaric” for his stance on abortion rights and compares him to Hitler. But Obama’s not just the most extreme pro-choice candidate ever, she writes in typically understated style, but is “more like a totalitarian dictator that wants the authority to inflict death wherever he deems it appropriate.” (Maybe his first act as President will be demanding that Congress pass the President’s License to Kill Act.)
To show that Obama is a danger to the Constitution she cites a specious lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania by attorney and Internet fringe hero Philip Berg. Berg titled his suit Philip J. Berg, Esq. v Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro aka Barry Obama aka Barack Dunham aka Barry Dunham, et al.
“Without even reading the details of the case wouldn’t you wonder, who in the world is this man we are considering for our Commander and Chief?,” Dunbar asked. (Note that Dunbar, a graduate of Pat Robertson’s Regent University Law School and self-described constitutional scholar, thinks the Constitution designates a Commander and Chief, not a Commander in Chief.)
As a final pearl of wisdom, Dunbar warns that her right to publish loony-bin crap on the Internet may be in danger under Chief Obama. “I’d wager this will be one of the first freedoms we will loose [sic] should the Obama Gestapo come knocking at our doors.”

HA!
Seriously, when is the filing date?
If I’m back in Texas, I’ll run against her…what is the age requirement?
