O'Fallon loon Cynthia Davis is a little sensitive to race relations now that her "birther" lawsuit is progressing. The Missouri House of Representatives member from the other side of the state sent out another bizarre edition of her weekly newsletter, in which she claims racism no longer exists.

"Racism may have affected some people decades ago, but now that we are in a new millennium, the only people trying to perpetuate racism are people who are still trying to live in the past or those who are intentionally trying to stir up unrest," Davis writes.

Sweet, stupid Cynthia is madder than a hornet at former President Jimmy Carter for saying the animosity directed at President Obama is due not to his politics but to his skin color.

Davis continued: "While it may be possible for some to have racist thoughts, most people I know consider it a topic that has been resolved and reconciled in the hearts of everyone that cares."

4. She's also the one against free lunch/brkfst for kids: "Hunger motivates..."

I shit you not. What kind of heart does someone like this have, if any?



In her June newsletter, State Rep. Cynthia Davis (R-MO) provided several “commentaries” to a press release from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services on a summer food program.

The program provides “food during the summer for thousands of low-income Missouri children who rely on the school cafeteria for free or reduced-price meals during the regular school year.”

Davis, who serves as the chairwoman of the Missouri House Special Standing Committee on Children and Families, questioned whether the program is “warranted,” and extolled the hidden benefits of child hunger:

Who’s buying dinner? Who is getting paid to serve the meal? Churches and other non-profits can do this at no cost to the taxpayer if it is warranted. <...> Bigger governmental programs take away our connectedness to the human family, our brotherhood and our need for one another. <...> Anyone under 18 can be eligible? Can’t they get a job during the summer by the time they are 16? Hunger can be a positive motivator. What is wrong with the idea of getting a job so you can get better meals? Tip: If you work for McDonald’s, they will feed you for free during your break. <...> It really is all about increasing government spending, which means an increase in taxes for us to buy more free lunches and breakfasts.

3. I will stick with Jimmy Carters observations

O'Fallon Missouri isn't exactly the place to make that call. O'Fallon is 95.3% White
