Texas TV host to candidate: ‘Are you Christian enough to represent this district?’

Posted by | May 22, 2016 13:13 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Religion


Kevin Ellis is up for a post on the state board of education, but was asked if he’s “Christian enough” for the job.

During a Sunday face-off between Ellis and far-right opponent Mary Lou Bruner on WFAA’s Inside Texas Politics, both candidates made their case to voters for the May 24th runoff for the GOP nomination.

Ellis argued that schools needed to be properly funded, but that the district had a responsibility to see that money was spent wisely.

Bruner, who has warned that pre-K programs indoctrinate children into the “homosexual agenda,” called for slashing “special programs” and early childhood education…

Ms. Bruner has said that she wants creationism taught in science class,” Inside Texas Politics host Bud Kennedy noted. “And that her views represent those of the district. Are you Christian enough to represent this district?”

    A better question would have been:
    “Are you scientifically literate enough to be making policy decisions regarding what should and should not be taught in the science classroom?”

    Ellis is the one that should have asked the questions, like….. How is a deluded, senile piece of religious waste doing on TV instead of a mental care facility?

    this is happening in a lot of places…it is really getting bad here, with the Koch money purchasing school boards…we just saw it happen…and it is not good…these folks allowed the Gideon Bible into the school’s library, and they chose a “Christian” abstinence program…there is some push back, but not enough..

    Are you Christian enough to represent this district?”
    What do you think the right wing wacko response would be if anyone in the political process said
    Are you Jewish/Muslim/Buddhist/atheist enough to represent this district?

    hell, lady, I fully qualify by biblical standards to be a
    PROPHET
    OF
    GOD
    with my daily prophecies the sun will rise in the east and set in the west.

    BTW: how many sunsets have LYING, THIEVING christians under the big beautiful Texas sky enjoyed through my prophecies while wearing

    MIXED FIBERS?

    and all I simply ask is instead of building your religion into a super non taxable business corporation is strengthen the hands of the poor about you –

    otherwise, the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah surely await those who are so haughty before God as to pass judgement against others while wearing

    MIXED FIBERS!

    (ref: Ezekiel 16:49-50).

    MIXED FIBER WEARERS beware, your time is shorter than your cotton/polyester MADE IN CHINA undies.

    (which are probably TRUMP JUNK)

      I note that she’s wearing jewelry, has her hair up and I bet the farm she eats bacon and shrimp too.

    I would love to hear someone ask, “Are you atheist enough to represent this district?”

    • Mike May 22nd, 2016 at 14:47

      That’s usually the first qualification I look for…

  8. robert May 22nd, 2016 at 14:08

    Are you Christian enough ? Enough indeed with eliminating all other religions or not

  9. katkelly57 May 22nd, 2016 at 14:46

    That’s one crazy church lady.

  10. Obewon May 22nd, 2016 at 15:06

    Ms. Bruner has said that she wants creationism taught in science class! Conservative majority SCOTUS prohibits feigning horseshit as science in publicly funded schools.

    • bpollen May 22nd, 2016 at 22:59

      Actually, I think it should be taught in classrooms – as an object lesson about bogus science.

      “And here we see people trying to prove that their fairy tales are the real story of Narnia… I mean, Jebus and He Who Has No Vowels. Watch how they try and explain dinosaurs – we fit at least 700 species of baby dinosaurs on board the ark, even though they actually were long extinct by the time Noah was born. Watch them explain the flood – all that water was up in the air or locked in the earth, but don’t ask where it went to. Look at how they add up all the begats in the bible and say that’s proof that the earth is only six thousand years old. Look at how they explain C-14 dating – Gawd PUT those varying levels of C-14 into those remains JUST to mess with your head. All those archaeological artifacts that are found that pre-date 4000 B.C.? More practical Gawd jokes.

      This shows, kids, that science starts with a question. Science doesn’t start with the answer and then cherry-pick facts to support it. ‘Question, test, conclusion’, not ‘conclusion, search for evidence to back it up.”‘

    And while the host was at it, why didn’t he ask: “is she white enough?”

  12. amersham46 May 22nd, 2016 at 22:28

    Are you Christian enough? , hell she is not human enough

  13. bpollen May 22nd, 2016 at 22:43

    Isn’t that like asking “Are you pregnant enough?” or “Is he dead enough?”

    Is Christianity some sort of Masonic Lodge, with 33 levels of “Christian” and an ugly ring?
