The face of Stupid.

North Carolina state Rep. Michele Presnell (R-Burnsville) linked Islamic prayer to terrorism in an email sent to a constituent, the News & Observer reported Tuesday.

In an email exchange obtained by the Raleigh newspaper, Presnell was asked by a constituent if she would support an Islamic prayer being said before a state legislative meeting.

"No, I do not condone terrorism," Presnell responded, according to the report. "We just need to start taking a stand on our religious freedom or it will be whisked away from us."

For the sake of the constituents whom this elected official represents, I hope that the report of her email is a hoax.

a prayer to be said because it's doesn't line up with her beliefs, right? I don't think they even listen to themselves.

A (sic) am an NRA member and I have my concealed weapon permit. I believe in your Second Amendment Rights.

I have always been a Conservative Republican. Lower taxes, less Regulations, then small business people can begin to hire again.

Hot Topic for me is VOTER ID. This is the only way to prevent fraud in our NC elections. My opponent voted NO. We do not have enough votes in the NC House to override the Governor. Another Hot Topic is the Marriage Amendment to our NC Constitution. Let me be clear...I BELIEVE IN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, traditional marriage, period."

And oh, yes, my teeth are fucked up.
