Connie Morris (Intelligent Design backer in Kansas) smears herself
Edited on Sat Aug-27-05 01:55 AM by StefanX
This is the nutcase in Kansas who is leading the charge to teach "Intelligent Design" in the schools. Read this article on her autobiography - where she details her years of drug use and serial adultery. It sounds like something out of The Onion but it's actually for real! She was totally out-of-control until she found Jesus - and now she wants to shove Intelligent Design down everyone's throat.

Unnatural Selection
The strange redemption of Connie Morris,
high school slut turned Kansas State Board of Education anti-evolutionist


Her 208-page tell-all autobiography, From the Darkness: One Woman's Rise to Nobility (available on Amazon.com for as little as $3.09), reveals that she wasn't always so conservative.

She frolicked in free love, drowned in drugs and endured domestic violence and sexual abuse before giving herself to Christ. But even Jesus couldn't tame her.

She has vowed that her political career is intended solely "to lead many to Christ, so the population of Heaven will be greater because of me." Such grandiosity pervades Morris' book; even when writing about her life at the depth of depravity, she never tires of reminding readers that she's pretty.

In 1973, Morris writes, she was a pretty and popular 12-year-old cheerleader who changed boyfriends every few weeks.

With little parental supervision, Connie and her older sister, Cindy, "began to run the streets like whores," she writes.

Morris also recaps her drug abuse in the late '70s and early '80s, sounding like a washed-up rock star as she recalls dropping acid and snorting "heroine {sic}, angel dust, speed and cocaine."

Connie graduated from high school in 1979. Before the ceremony, she writes, she dropped acid before crossing the stage to receive her diploma.

She met her future husband one night at the police station, where she'd gone to pick up her brother, Billy, after he'd been thrown in jail for driving drunk. Harvey Kissick, she writes, was a drug-addicted machinist. They became lovers and junkies, sharing needles and shooting up mixtures of heroin, cocaine and speed.

The Holy Spirit whispered to her, she writes: "How about it? Do you want to live for me?" The answer was yes. But Connie faltered. Later in the evening, she smoked a joint.

Sorry to engage in "smearing" but she's smearing herself - this all comes from her autobiography. This self-described former slut and drug addict found Jesus and wants to shove him down everyone else's throat. I'll take the Flying Spaghetti Monster (or Courtney Love) over this self-hating basketcase any day! Go repent on your own honey and praise whatever deity you want - let the kids in your school district do their science homework without having to listen to your confused ravings.

And remember - George Bush supports her. I guess he can relate to her being a former drug addict and all who found Jesus.

She just changed addictions, much like W. Very mentally unhealthy.

2. I grew up with 'little or no parental supervision' and I did no......
.....such things as she did.

I did read a lot of books and I studied human nature......I found out where I fit in..

...and I am not the judgmental, sanctimonious, fanciful type....

3. There's nothing worse than a sanctimonious ex-cokehead.
So, let me get this straight... the woman who picked up her HS diploma while tripping now thinks she knows better than the scientific community what belongs in Science textbooks?

4. Apparently the only thing more annoying than a reformed smoker
(drinker, gambler insert addiction here) is a former cheerleader turned street running coke snorting whore. Poor thing, she probably has brain damage from her drug days and maybe a case of untreated syphillis eating away at her brain. In all seriousness though, I wish these people would stop overcompensating for their past "sins" by beating the rest of us nearly to death with their bibles!

6. actually i wonder how much is factual.
many fundamentalist groups and born agains hold in higher esteem those that fell the furthest, ya know? so i wouldn't be surprised if there isn't quite a bit of , well, let's just say 'embellishment' in her little story, you know, to move the plot along...

7. My favorite part...
She modestly tells us how she rose to nobility. Apparently, it has something to do with snorting heroines. How do you snort a heroine?

9. I knew somebody would have the answer!
She sounds like a wounderful example of republican thinking, doesn't she? No wonder the country is in such deep trouble.

10. This sounds an awful lot like...
the traditional born-again bullshit. "I was involved in X and Y and Jesus saved me!"

I knew a girl who told a wicked "involved with witches" story, replete with bathing in blood and animal sacrifice. Of course, I was involved with the local "witches" at the time and knew the scene well enough to be absolutely positive she'd never even spoken to a Wiccan, etc. Pure BS. I'm not sure of the motive. The whole "I was so depraved." line gets pretty tiring. Snorted heroin? Possible, but unlikely. But then, the whole story is pretty unlikely.


And risen to "Nobility"? Fuck her.

14. Yep, sounds like her "witness".
Which is fundy-speak for getting up in front of a crowd and telling of all your past sins.

11. so instead of drugs, she got high on the Lord?
is that her excuse now for continuing to be be an idiot?

btw: dropping a hit of acid "before crossing the stage to receive her diploma" is meaningless, the drug takes 30-60 minutesd to affect one's brain chemistry.

12. Unfortunately, these are the types the fundies use as their shock troops
As mentioned upthread, they just trade one addiction for another. Because they are addicted, they become fanatics quite easily, and see everything as black/white and good/evil-with their beliefs being good, of course.
