Now for the Clown Award, given as always for acts of meritorious stupidity.This week, winner of big red nose is Penny Nance, the CEO of Concerned Women for America.
Speaking on - where else - Fox News last week, she attacked Anthony Foxx, who is the mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina and Obama's pick to head the Department of Transportation. Why? Well, he issued a proclamation making May 2 a “National Day of Prayer” in line with a Congressional resolution.
Wait - that can't be it. No, his crime was that he also issued a proclamation making May 2 a “Day of Reason,” supporting a movement that advocates Jefferson's "wall of separation" between church and state. And reason is the one thing Nance and the rest of her clown car compatriots can't tolerate.
After claiming that "the Doctrine of Original Sin" has "3,000 years of empirical evidence to back it up," she went on to say that "the Age of Enlightenment and Reason gave way to moral relativism. And moral relativism is what led us all the way down the dark path to the Holocaust."
You heard it right: According to Penny Nance, enlightenment and reason head a "dark path" that leads to the Holocaust.
I wonder if she thinks that the cameras and microphones picking up her words in that TV studio were prayed into existence. She is such a clown, perhaps she does.
