Bachmann - The Dark Lunatic
Rises
My recent discussion of the idiocy of Sarah Palin
was largely based on the fact that she is simply too stupid to breathe without instructions. Michelle Bachmann is a bit different. Like Rick Santorum, her eyes hold the messianic gleam of the true believer, which she is. It
makes her at once more ludicrous and more dangerous. As with Palin, the best way to evaluate her lunacy is by through her own public
declarations, so here goes:
v "I find it
interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president, Jimmy
Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an
interesting coincidence" (April 28, 2009)
So Michelle, now the President is responsible for any epidemic that
happens to coincide with his term? In Bachmann speak, this is how, without saying
it directly, one can imply that God must be a Republican who whimsically visits
plagues on the opposition. The catch
here is that the swine flu epidemic occurred while Gerald Ford was in office - whoopsie!
v . "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't
even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful
gas." "Carbon dioxide is natural, it is not harmful, it is a part of Earth's
lifecycle. And yet we're being told that we have to reduce this natural
substance, reduce the American standard of living, to create an arbitrary
reduction in something that is naturally occurring in Earth.'' April, 2009
So, the chemistry major has set the record straight
for all of us Social Science people. All my years in the Submarine Force we
were worried about silly old CO2 to the extent that we spent millions removing
it from the sub's atmosphere and pumping it overboard when we could have used
the space for a spa. S**t!!! Res ipsit loquitor
(Latin for "She's obviously insane")
It should also be pointed out that Plutonium, Arsenic and Polonium also
occur naturally, and all are deadly poisonous, as is Mercury, and Radon. Save
her a seat on the short bus!
v ''Michael Steele! You be da man!
You be da man!''?
While I will admit I have zero affection for Michael
Steele ( Republican National Committee Chair, and an African American), I doubt
that yelling at him in Ebonics would seem proper to me in my worst moment. I
suppose Michelle was just showing that she be down with her brothas and sistas
in the hood. Or wait, maybe she's just an asshole.
v ''If we look at American history, between 1942 and 1947, the
data that was collected by the Census Bureau was handed over to the FBI and
other organizations at the request of President Roosevelt, and that's how the
Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps...... private
personal information that was given to the Census Bureau in the 1940s was used
against Americans to round them up, in a violation of their constitutional
rights, and put put the Japanese in internment camps.'' Congresswoman
Michelle Bachmann
Where to start? Well, in the first place, it was the Governor
of California, a Republican, who encouraged President Roosevelt to do something about the
concentration of persons of Japanese ancestry in Ca, following Pearl Harbor. Yes,
it was an egregious violation of their civil rights, since 62% of them were US
Citizens. Ask yourself how righteously indignant MS. Bachmann would be if the
same information was used today to round up Muslims. I say this as she has in
recent days slandered an aide of SecState Clinton who is Muslim. As an
apologist for McCarthyism, she can't be on both sides at once, but wait. maybe
she's just opportunistic ignoramus.
v ''That's why people need to continue to go to
the town halls, continue to melt the phone lines of their liberal members of
Congress, and let them know, under no certain circumstances will I give
the government control over my body and my health care decisions.'
Can you believe it? Michelle has had a change of
heart and now supports abortion rights, access to contraceptives, etc..... But wait,
we know that 's not true. Could it be that she's so incredibly two faced and
downright dumb that she'd cite these laudable principles (erroneously, of
course) against the Affordable Health Care Act, without realizing she's making
the case for her more liberal sisters? Count
on it.
v
''I don't know where they're going to get all this money because
we're running out of rich people in this country.'' —Rep. Michele Bachmann, accusing the Obama
administration of plotting to divert money from Republican to Democratic
districts and planning to tax the wealthy to fund the windfalls, Feb. 2009
In an era when we are seeing the greatest transfer of wealth from middle
and lower classes to the rich since the end of the 19th century, this may be
the most absurd statement by a Republican ever. (well, since "Is our
children learning?")
v ''There are hundreds and hundreds of
scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent
design.'' Michelle Bachmann 2009
No, Michelle, there aren't. There are three guys in Indiana wearing shorts,
black socks and sandals at "Creationism World," one of whom finished college,
one of whom finished high school, and one of whom finished breakfast. For the record, no Nobel has ever been awarded
to a creationist for his work in that field.
v ''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.''
Dumber than this is hard to find! In the first place, the very construct
of her example is indicative of her overwhelming homophobia. Why would that
situation ever arise? This is analogous to Santorum's statement that legalizing gay
marriage would be the same as legalizing bestiality (which in Bachmann's case,
admittedly might be a twofer!) Why not hold up a picture of a baby and say
"See a woman did this because women are better?" Makes every bit as
much sense. I have grave doubts that any teacher would use this in a classroom
as a teaching example, but in fairness, there might be one or two in the nation
dumb enough to do so.. On the other hand, I guarantee there are numerous
teachers who denigrate and stereotype gays and allow homophobic rhetoric in
their classrooms without saying a bloody word. Most of them consider themselves
fine Christian folk. and don't write me over this, I can name names.
In summary. If this is
the brightest and best female the Republican party can put forth, (Condie Rice
has too much pride) then they need to
stop breeding. And I do believe that's all I have to say about that.
