Michele Bachmann

Recently signed a document which advocates the banning of pornography which began by saying that African Americans had better family structures in the times of slavery. Quite why this statement needed to be in anti-porn document isn't clear, it seems to me to be a thin excuse for a swipe at blacks to titillate her white supporters and to get at Obama. Or perhaps black families wouldn't break up if not for pornography. Here's the quote from the document.

"Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President."

Well that's probably true isn't it, I mean when you don't have freedom and you have to stay in the same little wooden hut and can't make any choices about anything, probably everything in your life is more structured and stable. Also yes it is true that this situation where black families break up only started after a black president was elected. So props to her for having the insight to recognise that. She'll have the black vote on smash.

 

On a sidenote, "Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families." Who wrote this? Yep, African-American families were doing just fine until slavery came along and ruined things for them.

Bachmann's greatest hits:

"And what a bizarre time we're in, when a judge will say to little children that you can't say the pledge of allegiance, but you must learn that homosexuality is normal and you should try it."

"There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent design."


"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."


"[Gay marriage] is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I am not understating that."

"Normalization [of gayness] through desensitization. Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders is take a picture of 'The Lion King' for instance, and a teacher might say, 'Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?' The message is: 'I'm better at what I do, because I'm gay.'"
(This is probably my favourite.)

"But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States."
(That's right. According to Bachmann, slavery was ended by the founding fathers.)

And this one comes with obvious religious, kook-vile affiliations too.

Come back to the game when you drop God, or at least your bullsh*t social neo-conservatism.

 

That makes her different from Obama and W how?

 

He's turned out to be just another politician. Trying to broker deals that make the best of the situation handed him. He leans towards his team but for the most part (ironically) he's just another faceless Washington player.

 

I was hoping for more vision, courage, and leadership.

 

 

If you're going to call someone out, actually base it on reality. If you call everyone generic names, your comments are meaningless.

 

Bachman, from what I've read, is not actually stupid. She seems extremely deluded or a great liar. Where cultural delusion turns into psychosis is anyone's guess.
