Queer and Self Loathing in the North Star State

better remove all the mirrors from the white house if she wins....

WHY DOES HE HATE HAPPY MEALS???!?!!!?!!

tuffsnake: WHY DOES HE HATE HAPPY MEALS???!?!!!?!!

From the look of him, he likes them just fine.

Mmmm...hate is such a great family value to promote...

Not that this loon has a chance in Hells, but when folks cheer her on, this is the sort of thing that they like about her. It's shameful. It's Un-American. And if you support this tripe, then maybe you should STFU about "values"...

From Ron Paul on Leno last night: Michele Bachmann "doesn't like Muslims, she hates them, she wants to go get 'em".

Paul might be a neoconfederate nutbar, but I don't think he said this casually. It will be interesting to see her response. I expect it to be telling.

gilgigamesh: The one thing that Reagan and Bush and even GW understood, is that Islam in general aren't the enemy. Only about 40% of Islam resides in the Middle East. Of that 40%, only a tiny number are involved in Fundamentalism. Of that, only a tiny percentage are militant enough to take arms in terrorist cells.

The fights that we have in Afghanistan are more than religious. The fight in Iraq and looming in Iran are far more than religious based, and the populist idiots who conflate Islam with Fundamentalism only illustrate their lack of fitness to understand the foreign policy landscape, to try to appeal to domestic Christian Fundamentalists.

The push towards Fundamentalism is dangerous. Be they Islamic. Be they Christian. Be they Judaic. Not because of the religion, but the conflation of faith as patriotism. Of flag as totem.

We are passing very close to lending support in a wide base to those who lack understanding of the founding principles of the nation, all the while cheering her on. This support is dangerous, not just to the Republican party, and undermining that very Republicanism, but the very Republic itself. And good Republicans need to draw a line in the sand against this push.

FWIW I think they are. Romney will be the nominee, not Bachmann.

Not that I am a fan of Romney, but despite his recent rhetoric he is a moderate. Which means either the fringe is losing its grip, or losing interest.

I hope.

The problem with Romney is that he's an amiable kleptocrat, and only as "moderate" as the audience that he's pandering to...

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Sounds a lot like what we have now.

Anyway its safe to say he wouldn't try to mandate that Muslims wear yellow crescent patches or gays wear pink triangles when they venture outside.

Bachmann? Not so sure.

"We are going to get this message across," he said. "Marriage is between one man and one woman. We are going to promote families."

So I assume that all the polygynous figures in the Bible are burning in Hell? Toast, Solomon!! Burn, Abraham!! Roast, David!!

To be fair, those were crazy Hebrews, not good Christians...

FTFA: If his wife Michele is elected president next year and he becomes America's first male First Lady, Marcus "Jazzy Hands" Bachmann says he will not pursue a socialist cause like Michelle Obama's campaign to improve childhood nutrition.



Delicious.

mrshowrules: Bachmann says he will not pursue a socialist cause like Michelle Obama's campaign to improve childhood nutrition.

"Hey kids! Carrots are full of healthy vitamins and improve your eyes!" is now socialism.

These people are cartoons. They have to be. Has anyone actually seen them in person?

I am starting to think there is some kind of Roger Rabbit - Toontown breaking into reality thing going on here.

At some point, you have to actually have a policy to support, beyond "If'n their fer it, I'm agi'n it!"

We are reaching a point where the public policy that is being promoted has become mad caricature...

lol. A new one for my collection.

I don't know why I read that as PENIS REVIEW, but I did.

why does a small government Republican want the government to get involved in people's personal lives? if you're small government, you CANNOT get the government involved in defining marriage. recognizing marriage, sure. as in 'yes, we the government recognize that larry and steve are a married couple'. But the government shouldn't be able to say larry and steven can't get married.

I don't give a damn about the morality discussion. I see this as a small government/states' rights issue. it is not the job of the federal government to tell two people they can't get married.

As long as it's for causing harm to anyone who isn't in their immediate social circle or promoting a radical social agenda, there is no government big-ass enough for the right.

Yep, he's a kook, but I'm not too worry about this becoming a reality.

Sleeping Monkey: Yep, he's a kook, but I'm not too worry about this becoming a reality.

I just wonder about the Republicans tho....they can (and often do) make statements about being small government, then in the next breath say they want to expand government into people's personal lives.

Bachmann would do a good job putting those FEMA camps to good use.

It's only Big Government when they disagree with it. If they agree with it, it's super America #1 patriotic.

I can not wait until this guy is outed.

turbidum: It's amazing that Michelle Obama takes on two entirely non-partisan issues (childhood obesity and supporting military families) and yet the right still find ways to attack her for it.

You didn't hear any of the Dems screaming that "our children have the right to be illiterate and how dare you tell me how to raise my child" when Laura Bush was First Lady. You know why? Because that would be retarded.

I loved all the petulant little tweets that right-wing morons like Michelle "Derp" Malkin post where they brag about how they're gonna go eat a hamburger, no matter what Michelle Obama says. It's enough for me to hope that Michelle Obama comes out and says that you should not take a massive dose of cyanide.
