Just a public service announcement to say that the small gang of known wingnuts we have on board has recently grown by one, as we welcome our newest lunatic, **Marci Al**. We begin with this recent gem:

> [@College Professors - are you on the watch list?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/college-professors-are-you-on-the-watch-list/791059/37):
>
> IS there an American college that is not a hotbed of liberalism?

Good question, Marci! I don’t know of any. As far as I can tell, they are all a bunch of commies. If it wasn’t for Fox News and Breitbart, we’d never find out The Truth.

Next, we find out that Marci is an expert on climate change:

> [@Climate Change Questions](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/climate-change-questions/789010/4):
>
> Is there really a global warming? Geologists know average temperatures happen in several cycles, from thousands of years, to tens of thousands. It’s hard to measure the greenhouse effect because you have to factor out the effects of the biggest greenhouse gas of all: water. Measuring the effects of CO2, methane, etc. takes a lot of creativity.

So that’s that. As far as global warning is concerned, no one knows anything, so probably it ain’t happening. Those who say otherwise are probably in the pay of those danged liberal hotbed colleges and universities. Marci gets her training from Fox News and teh Interwebs so you know it’s true.

This one is slightly more subtle and needs just a small bit of reading between the lines:

The question at hand is who is more valuable, a newborn infant (or one about to be born) or the adult mother. It’s posed as a question but the implications are clear: the world’s leading authorities on the subject are, of course, Catholic preachers, and so the answer is that the adult mother – who may have siblings, a family with a spouse and other children, parents, and relations, is of course worthless, natch. The mother must be offed in favor of the newborn and her life is of no value or interest to anyone.

The logic is ironclad if you think about it from Marci’s perspectiver: a newborn is a lot like a not-yet-born, and a not-yet-born may as well be an embryo or a newly fertilized egg, and we all know how preachers feel about abortion! In all cases, the mother’s life is worthless. By natural extension, after the child is born and starts growing up and becomes a real sentient human being with real human feelings and relationships, its life will become worthless, too. In fact if a female child grows into adulthood and becomes a mother herself, she may as well throw herself off a cliff – no one will care, or at least, none of the Catholic preachers will, praise the Lord.

So there we go. Even Marci’s not-obviously-crazy posts have an undercurrent of something disturbed, not to mention a suspicious ambivalence about Mooslems.
