Michelle Bachmann want Minnesotans "armed and dangerous"


One wonders what Michelle Bachmann will say next proving beyond all doubt she's probably the most ignorant and stupid member to ever inhabit the halls of Congress.

[What does that say about those Minnesotans who pushed the ballot lever in her favor?]

Think Progress and other sources of truth have recorded and provided Bachmann's latest foray into insanity for all of the world to see and hear.

Last Saturday, in an interview with WWTC 1280 AM, Rep. Blockhead went on a rant:

[She's really pissed at President Obama's cap and trade plan--it would have, she said, "the impact of forever changing our country." I suppose that in her mind it would result in fewer rich people. She is also really, really pissed that some folks think global warming is real!]

Speaking to the issue of global warming, she said: "And actually, we want this debate because the science is on our side on this one. And the science indicates that human activity is not the cause of all this global warming. And that in fact, nature is the cause, with solar flares, etc." [The "science" she refers to is the Book of Genesis!]

But, as TP points out, Bachmann isn't satisfied to merely oppose any relevant legislation. She went on:

"And really now in Washington, I'm a foreign correspondent in enemy lines. And I try to keep everyone back here in Minnesota know exactly the nefarious activities that are taking place in Washington. [...]

"I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us, having a revolution every now and then is a good thing, and the people -- we the people -- are going to have to fight back hard if we're not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States."


So, a batshit crazy Representative to the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota, not only denies the real causes of global warming, she also accuses the President of trying to change the country forever [whatever that means], and is calling for the people of Minnesota to arm themselves because we may have to instigate an armed revolution against the administration in order to "save" our country.

I guess Chuck Norris and Glenn Beck agree with her as they're busy putting together "cells" of revolution in Texas and elsewhere.


If you had told me that our airwaves and our Congress would be infested with these nutcases 20-30 years BR [Before Reagan), I would have told you you were out of your mind.

It's all so sad, though, when we really need to come together as a country and work together to accomplish badly-needed reforms and try to fix the wrongs that have resulted from the Bush/Cheney wrecking crew.


Here's Bachmann running off at the mouth about the poor rich people.

Where the hell does this idiot come up with this crap.
More scare tactics and propaganda form the radical fascist right.

@Grandpa Eddie - I think she is one of those truly deranged people who have nightmares during the day and believe them to be real.

She also a fundamentalist Christian and belongs to a crazy church near Minneapolis which is currently under investigation for misusing funds.

What I have a hard time dealing with is that the people of her district sent her back to Congress!

She has been proven wrong so far many times but that does not seem to change anything. Once again, the people get what they voted for. It is up to her constituency to vote her out next time around. My fear is that they like her and are not smart enough to question her views. They elected her. I think the people of Alaska have a similar problem but they are the only ones to resolve it.

How do we get basic Civic classes back into all schools so that people understand how it all works? I think an educated electorate is the basis for democracy. There is room for differences of opinion but the differences should be informed and genuine, not based on lies, misinformation, lack of information, lack of free speech and inquiry, etc.

There is a place for the Limbaugh’s of the world too but they must be open to questions and some indication that they are speaking of facts not rabble rousing. The audience should question opinions. To be a “ditto head” is stupid without understanding what one is agreeing to without question.
