Michelle Bachmann sends pitiful earthlings a message from Planet Wingnuttia
By David Neiwert Saturday Mar 28, 2009 8:00am
Sure, Matt Taibbi might think that Michelle Bachmann makes less sense than a huffer. But actually, he needs to understand the reason for the seeming incoherence: she's actually sending us all a warning of imminent doom from her faraway home, Planet Wingnuttia, which is floating out there in the far-right quadrant of the universe, somewhere in the vicinity of Uranus. And the reception gets kind of funny from that far out.
Last night on Sean Hannity's Fox show -- and earlier on Glenn Beck's show as well -- we got the message loud and clear. Beam her up, Scotty!
You see, on Planet Wingnuttia, Congress cannot empower someone from the Executive Branch to carry out its edicts because it's not written into the Constitution. At least, that's what she told Hannity.
Bachmann: I will say, Sean, our Constitution is to have a strict, enumerated powers of government. Government was never intended to have this sort of an incredible intervention in the economy. We are not a centralized, planned economy -- at least we're not supposed to be. We're free-market capitalism.
Of course, on Planet Earth, the specific empowerment of the Treasury Secretary by Congress to pursue business regulations is pretty much the way things have operated for most of the nation's existence under the Constitution that Bachmann seems to want to attach to her forehead and use as an antenna for receiving alien transmissions. If she thinks it's unconstitutional, why doesn't she challenge the law passed by Congress (and which Geithner is only dutifully fulfilling, as required by the Constitution), which is in fact the remedy provided by the Constitution for anyone who believes, as she apparently does, that the law is "unconstitutional"?
Because, evidently, she's a resident of Planet Wingnuttia, which enjoys diplomatic immunity in the House Republican Caucus.
Likewise, it seems that on Planet Wingnuttia, the proposal by China that the rest of the world go off the dollar as its chief unit of global exchange in fact actually means that the United States will have to go off the dollar too.
Now, down here on Planet Earth, China's proposal has nothing to do with what currency we use in the United States; it has to do with what kind of currency the rest of the world uses as its "reserve currency." We could pass Bachmann's law and throw a big fat national hissy fit if we wanted, and it wouldn't make a damned bit of difference. Because the proposal is one that would be decided by each and every other sovereign nation on the planet, choosing for themselves what kind of currency they choose to use.
But Bachmann keeps insisting that this is about a plan to "take the United States off the dollar" and institute a "One World Government" currency. The woman is channeling our late friend, Helen Chenoweth.
And then she and Hannity wrap it up sweetly:
Bachmann: We're going to keep fighting for our freedom, Sean.
Hannity: And against tyranny.
Maybe they should paint their faces blue, don kilts, and bellow: "Freeeedom!!!!!" They'd be more convincing.
Oh, and what exactly did Geithner actually say about the dollar when he supposedly "retracted" the next day?
"I haven’t read the governor’s proposal. He’s a very thoughtful, very careful distinguished central banker. I generally find him sensible on every issue," Geithner said, saying that however his interpretation of the proposal was to increase the use of International Monetary Fund's special drawing rights -- shares in the body held by its members -- not creating a new currency in the literal sense.
"We’re actually quite open to that suggestion – you should see it as rather evolutionary rather building on the current architecture rather than moving us to global monetary union," he said.
"The only thing concrete I saw was expanding the use of the [special drawing rights]," Geithner said. "Anything he’s thinking about deserves some consideration."
The continued use of the dollar as a reserve currency, he added, "depends..on how effective we are in the United States...at getting our fiscal system back to the point where people judge it as sustainable over time."
Meanwhile, be sure to read Matt Yglesias on this:
This falsehoods here are coming so fast and loose that it’s hard to know where to start here. But to get to the main point, most countries hold “reserves” of various kinds—foreign currency and gold. Most countries, right now, primarily hold dollars. Euros are also popular, and Yen and British Pounds somewhat less so. The United States of America does not, obviously, hold any dollars in our reserves. We actually have quite a lot of gold. And different countries vary their practices in this regard. But most countries mostly hold their reserves in dollars. So the dollar is, in effect, the “global reserve currency.” The IMF also issues something called Special Drawing Rights that countries can use as a reserve asset. SDRs work as a kind of meta-currency, with their value based on a basket of major world currencies. A Chinese official suggested that it might be good for the world to tilt away from such a heavy reliance on dollars as the reserve currency of choice, since this leaves countries exposed to policy decisions in the United States, and toward something more SDR-like that would be balanced between dollars and euros and yen and pounds and so forth.
This has nothing to do with replacing the dollars in your bank account—or Michele Bachmann’s—with a new currency. Nor would it be the creation of a One World Currency. And to be clear, while the United States could prevent the IMF from formally creating any kind of new internationalized reserve currency, there’s nothing we can do to stop foreign countries from weighting their reserve baskets away from dollars. It’s just not up to us.

batshit crazy
One word: Sedition.
Which is illegal.
Which group of lawyers is going to take this on? This is bullshit that an elected official can willingly commit sedition and not be punished.
Read this at AmericaBlog. Then read this law: 18 U.S.C. § 2385. Advocating overthrow of Government.
Bachmann used the word 'confrontation' to describe an exchange with the President. It would be very interesting to see a psychological profile on this banshee. On the whole, the GOP are simply not accustomed to wearing tin-foil hats. I've thought for quite sometime that the Republicans are very close to crossing the border into Sedition Land. The Bizarro World that they were building is starting to fall away and they don't know how to function.
Earlier today, I sent Glenn Beck an email, accusing him of sedition. He rouses the masses with his talk of the Obama administration leading us to totalitarianism and communism. He often defends militias and in fact seems to encourage them. He is pals with Chuck Norris who recently made the statement that he wants to be president of Texas. If you look at his so-called "9-12 project" web site, the last time I looked at it, it was full of gun nuts who talk about Obama wanting to take away their 2nd amendment rights. And now I see that Beck had this wacked out loon Bachmann on his radio show yesterday.
Tie it all together, and what do you get? S-E-D-I-T-I-O-N.
One other thing.....Bachmann has now defended her "revolution" talk by saying she was speaking "metaphorically."
BullCrap.
This woman was on the Chris Matthews show last October and claimed that Americans would love to see an "expose" of members of Congress who might be "un-American." She claimed Obama was "un-American." She later claimed that she did not say what she in fact DID say....it's on video.
She FLAT OUT LIED about what she said on Chris Matthews' show. This woman has absolutely no credibility...zero, NADA, zilch. She is a far right whackjob who wants her followers to overthrow the current government....it wasn't a metaphor, coming from her.
"As long as I'm the dictator," wasn't a metaphor either.
“I’m 50 years old. I came to know Him when I was 16. For 34 years, I’ve been hot! And you want to be hot! Because when you are hot for Jesus Christ, there is nothing that is like that life! It is the most exciting life! When you are praying in the spirit, when you are meditating on his word, when you are fellowshipping with white-hot believers, He turns your life around. And it isn’t just for you. It’s for the world! He changes the world through hot people!”
Is this the song from "Sister Act"?
Nothing.
character.
is everything! If I may ask, with the brief biography you've shared, I'm curious why it took roughly 16 years to find the Lord?
I realize it maybe personal, it's just the time gaps, that I find interesting. Nevertheless, I'm happy for your euphoria and thank you for you contributions to C&L's. ♥
Bachmann.
I obviously overlooked the quotation marks. Yes, you and Evet
are absolutely correct.√ Thank you for your time...

Amended: You and I just proved my point, with your help muddy, that is "Interpretation is everything"! :)
PS. I was thrown off by "ElleninBigD's" comment. :-/
I figured it was an oversight.
But the woman has some serious batshit crazy goin on.
I am not a fan of her's (she has said some pretty stupid things over the past 8 years) but she is right on this, your government doesn't have this power to give. I wonder where she was when Bush was stomping on the consitution over the last 8 years? No doubt she is just trying to make herself look good but a Global currency is scary stuff, you lose soverignty. Just look what happen to the european countries, just ask residence of those countries. I don't believe we should be using the USD as world reserve (gold is the right thing but that is a different conversation) currency but we shouldn't just have paper again.
The real unemployment counted like they did in the depression is about 19.1 percent NOT 8.1.
www.shadowstats.com
This is the real stuff, check it out.
Hers would be devalued below zero.
How much ya wanna bet she's never even read the US Constitution!
Can someone explain to this nut what a reserve currency is. This is the same shit that made Joe the Dumber famous.
Everyone was all up in arms over the increase in "small business taxes" and Obama missed the opportunity to explain that Joe was actually an idiot and doesn't know the difference between revenue and profit.
Now, we have this ditz who doesn't know what a reserve currency is and she's making waves over something she doesn't know the definition of.
...it always is with conservatives, the right wing and the Republican party?
They don't understand the concept of reasoned thought. They don't understand the idea that you need to get your facts straight before opening your mouth and speaking. They would rather just let the garbage spill out and to hell with anyone or anything that gets hit by it.
"If you believe it, then it must be true."
when you celebrate ignorance and actively work to destroy the education system and dumb down the entire country, is it any wonder you have people that are so stupid it's amazing their brains are even able to carry on basic life sustaining functions.
I can't imagine anyone actually observing and listening to this woman for five minutes and making a conscious decision to cast a vote in her favor. Good grief, you wouldn't even have to let her speak, one look at those eyes tells you everything you need to know.
... if you're one of the dumbed-down, ignorant masses who can't think, she looks EXACTLY like one of you!
..the constituents? What about the constituents who she represents, who speaks for them? Oh yeah, Michelle Bachmann, today's stupidest senator in the world (regards to KO).
I wish I could do like cartoons here instead of just typing words and smiley faces (which I don't) like ;), like that. There'd be one of Maude Flanders crying, "What about the constituents?" Did I spell that right? c-o-n-s-t-i-t-u-e-n-t-s? I'll never do that again.
Who is pulling her strings? She obviously can't buy a clue...
Limbaugh, Hannity, Kristol, O'Reilly, Beck,.... really, anyone who will give her the time of day, and a microphone.
Beck's tangled up in his own strings right now. Limbaugh's trying to get high off his. Hannity is to busy calling his puppet master a socialist, and O'Reilly's are cutting his strings just like UPS.
It's sort-of odd, even for planet wingnuttia because it's so blatently obvious she doesn't understand what a reserve currency is.
Isn't this an embarrassment even for the wing nuts?
Can't spell shame let alone grasp the concept. They are androids bleating the preprogrammed garbage programmed into their memory chip from the Republiborg collective.
to have "this sort of incredible intervention in the economy", then perhaps she might want to explain why we allowed the almighty and internationally powerful central banking system to take over our economy in 1913 with the formation of the Federal Reserve Bank??
Having a banking system where interest and the control of currency was under the control of the government and limited "usury" would have served the American People far better than the current system has.
I'd love to hear her explanation about the formation of The Federal Reserve and how it is a private corporation, yet they are allowed to print Monopoly money to the tune of TRILLIONS of dollars and pump it into the economy at will, they allow banks to charge up to 30% interest and more and they do not allow any transparency or oversight into what they are up to.
It all sounds a little fishy to me. Maybe Ms. Bachmann would like to elucidate on that for us?
I'll have to pour a stiff one to stomach her answer I'm afraid.
Don't blame all of Minnesota for this.
Even though she has been this way for quite a while, her DISTRICT keeps voting her back in.
The Dems ran a really intelligent guy against her last election and he couldn't seem to beat her even though
she spews her venom so vociferously.
Next time, I hope the Dems run a woman who will be able to lock horns with her and not be accused of sexism.
That candidate should be chosen soon and start taking her on and exposing her in her district for all to see
just how nutty she is. Although they all are pretty nutty North of the Cities!
Make it out to "Opponent of Michele Bat-shit Crazy Bachman".
I have family way up in Grand Rapids that's more sane than this ditz.
Free market capitalism is not in the constitution, you fucking whack-job.
If anything, America was more socialist and communist up to and after the ratification anyway.
Actually the bulk of Americans were rural and subsistence farmers.
That had cities of course and early Industrial Revolution factories, but no Unions and no social safety net.
They still had craftsmen, and presumably guilds and apprentices as well.
There is no economic theory in the constitution.
There are, though, certain enumerated powers given to the federal govt as well as many restrictions on the powers of the federal govt.
These powers and restrictions do not allow for the central planning of all commerce.
They do allow for the regulation of interstate commerce. Since the New Deal and Roosevelt's court packing scheme, the commerce clause has been read to mean that the federal govt CAN centrally plan ALL commerce in the united states. They can make laws against growing pot in your basement for personal consumption. They can tell your locally administered public school what to do. It doesn't have to be interstate commerce at all anymore.
The person who made this blog post challenged Bachmann to take the issue to court, but he knows well enough that the precedence is set against the original meaning of the commerce clause and in favor of governmental power.
This whackjob is so insane. She's also encouraging insurrection and revolution, while claiming to be a reporter behind enemy lines in Washington.
How are people like this created? How in the world do they ever get voted into office?
Looks like it's time for me to send Mrs. Joe McCarthy another email.

You are very good at encapsulating, wish I was. :-/
Highly creative, Shadowgm. Look forward to more posts from you.
Regarding Bachmann: She should be banned from entering her office building in DC, and thrown in jail. I do believe she has crossed that line, yes??
Highway to Hell is a good one, but I think the tune that endlessly plays in her uncrowded cranium is "Going out in a (percieved) Blaze of Glory".
She barely won re-election against a dog-catcher once liberal $ started pouring in to her opponent. I think, even she knows this is it for her.
Thank God, our founders had the wisdom to make Rep. terms 2 years.
Neither did I.
For once, I'm in agreement with KKKlanity--aargh!!

the resident seat belt Nazi at our house, let me just say, that anyone who travels in an auto/truck/motorized vehicle that offers the use of seat belts and doesn't take advantage of said seat belts is a real fucking moron, or perhaps has not had a good physics class. Seriously, Chenoweth was a conflicted blowhard and obviously rather stupid, or was rather sure she was unstoppable.
on her freaking lap for fux sake. Look, if idiots like Chenoweth-Hag want to protest govt interference at the risk of her own life, fine, as long as people like that actually die, and resources are not wasted on keeping them alive in a persistent vegetative state for 20 years. But leave the grandkids strapped in the baby seats. The kid survived.
... because if you replace the dollar with the yuan, then:
- We'll have to speak Chinese as well as use their money.
- While we're at it, we'll have to discard Christianity and adopt Buddhism or whatever they do in China.
- We'll become answerable to the Chinese government and lose our 'political freedom.'
- Hordes of unwashed Chinese laborers will descend upon America and steal our jobs and drive the cost of healthcare (now in yuan!) up.
But through it all, it's the same OMG! THEY'RE COMING HERE! *WAIL* horseshit that Malkin, Beck, Hannity, Dobbs, Limbaugh, Coulter, Ingraham, Prager, and other conservative thugs clutch dearly to their bosom.
Sure, Michele - we understand. This isn't Michele being a kook. This is an elected representative of the United States collaborating with a man who was preaching armed rebellion with his buddy Chuckles the Ninja, and another who had a segment called, 'Enemy of the State,' but proudly tells us he's fighting tyrrany.
I'm hoping she's dumb enough to suggest that states mint their own money or maintain their own currency in protest ... which would be against the Constitution she claims to be protecting.
√
Amended: IMHO
Because of conservatives borrow and spend policy where already in deep hock to the Chinese, without using their currency.
What concerns me is not that Michelle Bachmann believes what she is saying, but that so many people who watch FAUX news also are nuts and ignorant enough to believe it.
She and others like her bring out the absolute worst in our society, and FAUX news (the propagandists behind the neocon movement) gives them the forum to brainwash those who listen.
Clearly. She keeps getting re-elected. What more evidence for the proof of your statement do we need?
Her bill has TWENTY-NINE cosponsors, not one of whom apparently thought to check their facts before signing on.
And it's a Constitutional Amendment, which is a whole 'nother pack of problems.
One would think that after 200-plus years, someone would have picked up on that by now.
don't go there... ysb :D
It's all in how you decipher or interpret the information, that effects your message. :-/
Actually wouldn't that be she's a victim of her putting in her vibrator?
I have a sudden urge to go fishing. :D
Once again, the turbulent mind of a genius appears. Too set forth, yet another poetic description in troubling times... √ "And it's poignant as well" and I don't mean the "vibrator" :-P
But we all know what else smells like fish.
Does it contain Omega acids?
Let me win one, once in awhile... :-) ROFLMAO
Bachmann and her microencephalic enablers are doing their best to dog whistle up an armed insurrection. I doubt anything of any scale will arise but having lived through the abortion clinic bombings and doctor murders during Reagans reign I imagine there are some out there who are, even as I write this, loading their guns. They might be out of their gourds CRAZY but that wont stop them from killing people.

Most amendments to the constitution about the powers of Congress conclude with something along the lines of granting all powers to Congress needed to enforce this amendment.
And Article I Sec. 8 has multiple clauses giving Congress extensive power to regulate the economy.
Of course one has to remember our Founding Father's had a certain split attitude about international relations. They saw America as Independent, but trading with foreign powers, without tacitly acknowledging trade of this sort might require our ships being protected by the military, or war being declared over treaty violations.
which was signed by President John Adams on June 10, 1797.
Snip - "The Treaty of Tripoli usually refers to the first treaty concluded between the United States of America and Tripoli, otherwise known in English as the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary."
Article 11 reads:
Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
Wasn't that clause in the Treaty of Tripoli overturned by Congress a few years later?
Nevertheless it's relevant since John Adams was one of the Founding Fathers, and it may be indicative of how that group of men thought.
Was it repealed in 1805 and or because of,

Danger of extinction. Bachmann, Steele,Limbaugh,Palin,Boehner,Vitter,Hannity,O'Reilly,etc,etc.,etc., is really sad. All they are is right wing nutjobs. All of them.
I put this on a thread below on bachmann that's dying; I hope it's relevant here:
Sedition would be more accurate, and it has nothing to do with no concrete action. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes was the one who promoted the Clear and Present Danger defintion limiting Free Speech. But from at least the 1930's to the 1950's and into the '60's. justices used the Bad Tendency Test, favored by Justice Edward T Sanford, derived from English Common Law, which had been the norm (NORM!), and seems to have resumed with the Patriot Act.
The interesting thing is, however, Holmes didn't see Clear and Present Danger as opposing the Bad Tendency test, but clarifying it, although other justices felt his standard was just as unclear, because, as you pointed out, it had to do with words and not concrete action.
Sedition on the other hand is more often internal, like a military coup d'etat, perhaps assasination, or what's called a bloodless coup, not necessarily violent revolution, or aiding and abetting the enemy like treason, which is defined in the US Constitution in Art. III, Sec III: cl 1:
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."
No definition as such appears for sedition.
The Bad tendency test has been most favored by conservatives, and under it's test, many of the pronouncements of conservatives like Bachmann and hate radio pundits would ironically qualify. It's the more liberal definition that protects them.
Okay, I'll quit now, I'm bored too.

The part about the reserve currency change idea I like best is that what it does is take the dollar away as a reserve currency in other countries AND if the US went back to a gold currency THAT would take the dollar away as a reserve currence in the US. And the shreeching wingnuts can't see the hand in front of their face. Too funny.
The Constitution, if one actually bothers to read it, may do almost anything except what it is specifically prohibited. It is not as some conservatives bizarrely assert the description of those things it may do.
I think we should face head on the fact that she arouses deep erotic feelings in all who gaze on her, like Katherine Harris without the huge breasts.

.....the sad part of this Bachman woman is that she is probably correct on the whole one-world gov...single currency issue,..really...is there any other explanation for the situation we Americans find ourselves in? .....Is there a better explanation for the supposed series of random events over the last thirty years which have destroyed organized labor, gutted whatever integrity was left in the US Government...and have lowered our standard of living and our level of moral expectation?.....or can you explain the US Sec/Treas making a public admission that the world should dump the dollar as a reserve currency? No, something is afoot...it is just that people like Bachman endorsed every other unconstituional injustice over the last 25/8 years.....so when you have allowed torture and kidnapping to go on...it's hard to take your other concerns about the security of the country and it's people seriously....

It's definitely "A Management" thing, that's for sure!
and these "tough" bozos have gone through 8 weeks of a moderate administration, and they are already ready to start a civil war.
Funny these "compassionate conservative" assholes, who lack any common decency or interest for the well being of their fellow human beings, are the first ones to cry me a river when things don't go entirely their way. The whole right wing is made of over entitled mediocre babies, who think if they cry harder their bidding will be done....
And Global Corporations win , because they already have "THEIR" military in place and their orders are clear...
Did you read the article a little under a year ago that they are bring home from Iraq the military soldiers which have been trained for door to door operations in controlling civil disorder,,
They were called the Northern command and said that Petraus would be in charge of them..
Americans no longer have a say in what our government does....
The interesting thing is although we don't want the reichwing to get their s**t together long enough to mount a real opposition to Obama, in the meantime there's a power vacuum that lets people like this nut come to the forefront.
If Obama keeps going down the path he is now , the republicans will need no help in the coming elections of 2010..
Obama's Change is the same old BS with a lot of BS>>>
Not only are Global Corporations receiving our tax money to build and send their jobs overseas , but with the continuation of the war in Iraq , and the surge in Afghanistan China will just collect on our debt and we will become the Republic of China..
The only change I see in Obama's administration is words , the actions are the same as our previous criminal..
Bush and company are still walking the streets with the loot they stolen , not prosecuted for their criminal crimes and Obama is still using their policies , like the surge , illegal spying and so on..
Divid and conquer and they are still keeping Americans divided while they walk off with the loot...

does bachman really work? cuz it seems she spends most of her time listening to right wing talk radio
all her talking points come from these shows
and she isnt crazy...she is dangerous, and should be censured by her party
what if it was a dem who was calling for revolution?
Never met a queer he didn't hate -- including himself!
Bachman calls for revolution. She doesn't realize that the revolution began a few years ago and we are now in charge. She was fortunately NOT included. The revolution is against her and her kind.
or do they keep 5 gal buckets of drywall mud at Fox in the makeup departments?
transforming Katherine Harris....
I think folks do a real disservice to the progressive agenda by dismissing Bachmann as a nut or idiot. She's a former tax litigation attorney, a field one doesn't go into unless they like intellectual challenges. She's also very articulate. I think she's actually probably pretty smart and knows exactly what she is doing when she starts throwing around words like "armed and dangerous" and "revolution," and Faux News knows exactly what it is doing by promoting her. In other words, she needs to be taken seriously and exposed as a well-groomed spokesperson for a well-financed right-wing corporatist agenda.
..then someone should seriously think about bringing sedition charges against her!
One thing I have learned. If Michelle B. is ranting somewhere, and I don't watch the clip, she doesn't make a sound. (I thank Sartre.)
I think that's a koan.
We're going to fight for our freedom?!?!?
Hello Michele! Knock, knock. Is anybody home in there???
Can anyone photoshop yesterday's sparkle-turd into her mouth? Then the picture would be complete.
... something about an "elasticity clause" and how the supreme court has already voiced its opinion on this matter, centuries ago.
these repub spindocts are actually kind of amazing. they jump up and down saying shit about how a constitutional criminal matter applies to taxation issues "after the fact". sure.
obama should be glad for nutjobs like this bachwhore and that other farcist pig limbaugh.
It's the eyes. The irises are overexposed. They haunt me like a drunken rowboat floating in the wards of retarded children.
... as some of the sociopaths I learn so much about in my intro-psych class back in College.
Michelle Bachmann and the rest of the waffen GGOP, they are.... simply.... not.... there.
How soon before FOX starts what will surely be their highest rated show ever: "The 2 Minute Hate?"
Is that Michele's cock-sucking face?
Bachmann: We're going to keep fighting for our freedom, Sean.
Hannity: And against tyranny.
Yea. The party of Bush and Cheney are going to fight for freedom and against tyranny and protect the constitution. Comedy.
it is PROJECTION, capacity for which the GOP knows no bounds.
A design implemented by the conservative oligarchs around the world; the free marketeers.
Denial, denial, denial.
As long as they're not any worse than telemarketers.
which is part of her religious beliefs. Unfortunately she is my representative. No one here will do anything about her, the media barely acknowledges her and when they do they make it out to be harmless, a joke.
It's time to start calling Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer, put pressure on them to do something about her; censure or something. I am afraid all of this will stir some other crazy people to do very crazy things. Remember Oklahoma City.......
While I am not a fan of her's what is she doing wrong? Even if its for self serving purposes she is right on this one.
8 Years of the Bushies using the Constitution for asswipe, and now it's a buzzword for them. The rank hypocrisy shown here is stinking up the joint.
Not only that but this bimbo is clearly off her rocker.
Sounds like you got some cheap home-grown.
Fox is again peddling fear, because after all, its ratings based infotainment television. nothing new.
i believe a majority of the people in this thread lack an understanding of what the phrase 'reserve currency' implies, or better yet, how having a fiat paper currency as the worlds reserve currency is even something worth bragging about.
What has Government Done To Our Money by Murray Rothbard is a good place to start. You will definately come out with a better understanding of the financial ass-raping that america has continuously gotten for about 100 years now.
Yes. i typed financial ass-raping.
I have more insights about this lady, and exactly what it is that is making her tick, but im not sure that this particular discussion is ready for them. Most here still seem to be at the 'doo-doo ca-ca' phase of political discourse....
your nearest "open thread"
didn't cha?

Do you even know what site you're on?
First you go from bad-mouthing FAUX, and than this thread, as if this were a FAUX supporting site.
Well mj is right, check out the book. If you understand monetary theory you will understand the kind of trouble America is in.
stand for Mr. Jones / ULTRA?
"Senator, you're doing a great job, keep it up."
"Thankyou, we're going to keep fighting for our freedom."
" ... against tyranny."
There is not even a semblance of objectivity in this so-called news network is there? It is nothing but a 24-hour a day GOP promotion network.
I live in MN but not in district 6. I have met and talked to a couple of people from district 6 and they were really scary. I think there is an ignorant group-think like demographic living in district 6 where cult leaders and white supremacists probably draft a lot of minions. If you listen to the way Michelle Bachmann talks you know it's true. I also have a very rational caring friend who lives in St Cloud but is in the minority. People should infiltrate the district with common sense. I believe there are rational conservatives so I'm not being partisan. We just need some sanity in this district and getting rid of Michelle Bachmann would be a good start!
I see this is a 'Republicans are Crazy' thread, and not a discussion of monetary issues, reserve currencies, and michelle bachmann.
Is it a prerequisite of posting on this site that i agree with the predominant viewpoints? The truth is, i sympathize with the left, because i used to be made to think that way. (public education.) I know better than to buy into the hypocracies of the right, and am not fond of political labels in general. Regardless, i am still interested in politics, and am always looking for a place to discuss ideas with other people, in the interest of growing and learning.. maybe even a little venting, here and there. Im not trying to troll, unless trolling involves attempts at level headed discourse. i refuse to play with Kos kids, or Little Fiend Goofballs.
Where can i go to mingle with diverse political opinion, if not here?
Don't worry, speak your opinion. I do, they don't like me sometimes either and if they insult you then flag. Its not hard, when you speak truth and they don't agree too bad. I don't go looking for a fight but if they come to me with insults I just flag. Give them links and teach them that you (like myself) are being honest and non partisan.
maybe you could offer some venues too "mjULTRA"?
PS. And with that "Flag" comment, I'm sure you can. √
I like this venue, just because I am fiscally conservative doesn't mean I am socially. I am also of the opinion that the government should have many of the powers it claims to have or create for itself new power it never had.
RE: "Where can i go to mingle with diverse political opinion, if not here?" ↑
If you want too play, it may not be so fun, but stimulating nonetheless. You may find the levelheaded discourse you desire at one of RonPaul's venues? Just don't get caught up in "AJ"(thread) or you'll start sounding like the "frenzied" Michelle Bachmann above...
Maybe you know and maybe you don't, like some of the "intellectually dishonest" people in the "clip" above... Congress does hold the power and without regarding "specifics", you may or may not know of the promulgations of 1913? To exacerbate the issue based on preconceived notions may prove diminishing too your well-being? Though you may cherish [Personal "Liberty"] and freedom, I too believe in personal freedom and the choices it allows. I wish you well in your life
Perhaps you should be more open to opinons. What we are talking about is purely economic not ideoligical. WHat she said was harly "frenzied", she may be doing what she is doing out of self interest but it doesn't subtract from the fact that its true like it or not.
Bachmann is the Minnesota equivalent of the Anti-Earth Hour - her supporters elected her BECAUSE of her incompetence. Remember, these folks don't want a functioning government. The Bush years were the epitome of their success: massive deregulation followed by massive cash handouts. All they need is a few more zombies like Bachmann to bring don't what's left of the governement and they will be dancing on their piles of money. Fortunately most people are finally starting to see through that and that's why we had a Democratic landslide in November.
