Another has-been goes nutty far-right.

"Actress" Morgan Brittany goes off the deep end.

Conservative Columnist: Is The Government Orchestrating The Ebola Crisis To Confiscate Guns?

WND's Brittany: Ebola And "Disposable FEMA Coffins" Could Point To "Martial Law"

A columnist for conspiracy site WND asked whether the Obama administration has "orchestrated" Ebola and other crises in order to declare "martial law" and seize everyone's guns.

In recent weeks, conservative media figures have used the Ebola story to attack the Obama administration with twisted criticism, with radio host Michael Savage going so far as to suggest the administration was hoping to "infect the nation." Now Morgan Brittany, actress and host of conservative online show PolitiChicks, ponders in her WND column, "What If The Conspiracy Theories Are True?"

and everyone forced to grow a long beard.

The color of the American flag will be changed to red, gold and green and worn as a bandanna in honor of the Duck Dynasty Brothers.

I don't have a clue who she is or what movies she was in. She's well and truly nuts now though, that's for sure.

The "peak" of her career seems to have involved appearing on The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and other '80s shows.

She was pretty with dark "big 80s" hair and blue eyes. She was popular tabloid fodder along with the rest of Dallas cast at the time.

I think, if we're worried about mass graves, it would be the non-disposable coffins we should be more worried about. So long as we're indulging the crazy, that is.

While I am very anti-gun, and think maybe taking guns away would be a good idea, even I'm not nuts enough to think that something like Ebola would be used as an excuse.

If we're going to take guns away, we take them away because they are dangerous. Not because of Ebola or anything else.

And no one need bother to yell at me about this, because I doubt guns will be taken away from people. I'm just pointing out that I'm personally a bit of a nutcase on the topic of guns, but even I'm not that nuts.

She will be remembered for playing nutjob on Dallas In 1980's.So this proves her role wasn't too far removed from real life just like when
Jon Voight was on 24.

Some actors may play racists and ruthless men but are much different In real life.

The late great star of Dallas Larry Hagman may have played a ruthless Oilman but in real life was a liberal and had solar panels on his
house in last years.

Another TV legend Carroly O'Connor may have been famous for playing racist archie Bunker but was also liberal In real life.
