Michelle Bachmann: A Lesson in Hate

I feel like since Michelle Bachmann feels like she can just denounce people so openly in the name of God... We should rally as many people who are gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, supporting gay rights and all of our dogs... Drive to one of her speeches, act really excited and try to shake her hands.

Everyone tells her that they're gay and came to the rally specifically to save her children from her hurtful and horrible words. What do you think? I want to crush her like a bug on a windshield. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/17/us/politics/17bachmann.html?_r=1&hp

For saying she's a Christian, she's not being very Christ like. She should be more Jewish. Then she'd be cool... Well, no she wouldn't. She sucks eternally and I hope she knows that the God I theoretically might believe in ... and the heaven that if I didn't think we all just go back to dirt and energy goes into something else -- exists... St. Peter or Jesus or God or Chris Farley would be at the pearly gates going--

"Michelle... that wasn't very nice. You exploited a group of people for your own gain and crooked beliefs. Plus your refusal to ever read a book... Very Hitler like Michelle. I'm sorry, this gate isn't for you. You can take the limbo elevator down, directly, to hell."


She makes me so mad. I mean, the only reason that she can spurt out stupidity and these strangely driven political antics is through the fact that a lot of women worked hard to make work like this possible. I'm sure if in the 1970's Gloria and the gang thought this would be the result, they may have change some things. Or, they may have killed baby Michelle Bachmann like they should have killed Damion in The Omen or Rosemary's baby in Rosemary's Baby. I can't stand the idea that she is the female potential candidate. She wants to go back to the way the "Founding Fathers" had things... Well, let's look at what world they were dealing with and what they may have thought about Michelle Bachmann running for President.

1. They probably would have thought "AHH!" because, according to the US Census Bureau, there were only 2.5 million people in the U.S. in 1776. The amount of people probably would have made them poop their shifts, knickers and wigs.

George Washington apparently had wooden teeth and no one showered. They were all hairy and if you weren't a slave, chances are you were Western European. Women had no rights. No one who was any color but white was also screwed and people fought with muskets and disease (but they probably just blamed magic or something).

2. Slavery still existed. Why do people think it's cool to keep things based in this romanticized past. Did the last 2-500 years just not happen? Do you really want to go back to not vaccinating children-- sure polio gives you character-- but really? Do you want to tell your friend they can't be around anymore because they're black? That's just fucked.

3. Did I mention women had no rights back then? It took Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and a WHOLE bunch of old white ladies to make that happen. That happened after the abolition and rights of African Americans was passed. Stanton and Anthony had a split from Fredrick Douglass and from each other over these issues. Fredrick Douglass, though I love him, didn't want to attach "sex" to the 18th amendment because he knew that would hold it back from being passed. I hope that if Fredrick met Michelle Bachmann, he would fight her as well... of course, for different reasons.

There are more reasons that basing things on the Founding Fathers isn't so great... I mean, beyond the pressures their ghosts have to endure. Talk about being a group without a voice, they have to haunt to be heard and since Google +, haunting just seems like you're crazy, I bet there's a circle for that.

I just get so pissed that someone can stand at a podium, declare that groups of people will harm children when there is little chance of that happening. You know what's hurting children? Words of hate. Denouncing groups in a generalized form.

A lot of problems come from suppression. I watch Mad Men, I know.

Maybe instead of threatening groups of people who are brave enough to come out of a shell that has held them in for so long, you could embrace them. Welcome them into your belief system (even though its whack-tastic) and actually take a look at whether or not children are harmed by it.

Children are probably harmed more by your foolish remarks and homeschooling. Jesus horses are not what we call dinosaurs and I have rocks in my driveway and friends in science who can carbon date that can tell you that the world isn't just 4000 years old. It may have been Palin who said that first, but I'm pretty sure Bachmann rides the same Constitution covered, touring, promotional short bus as the former.

Great post, I admire the writing style :) A little off topic here but what theme are you using? Looks pretty cool.
