Comments on: Bachmann: Got "sense" from God to run for office

- Bachmann can be believed to be a serious candidate when campaigning in Iowa she will tell Iowa corn farmers and pig growers that subsidies represent 'socialism' and she will stop those subsidies. Other than that, she is another Republican run-of-the-mill talking mouth.

- maybe Obama can visit all 57 states again ....it's amazing how the media does not beat this drum like it does for every Republican. All Schieffer wanted was her to say was God told her too..

- Which means she won't know the difference between church and state. Why can't the republicans understand, that church and state are seperate.

- Knuckleheaded, airheaded Bachmann HATES the government. Unless she and her family are getting government subsidies and tax breaks for themselves. TYPICAL Republicon hypocrites. No wonder she is a big corporate pawn and a Tea Bag KKKlanner.

- At least she doesn't think she is god, but she is a nut job. I worry about our leaders who will run the office of President with religion being their guiding force. We all ought to be scared. We ran from Britain to escape religious persecution and to be able to believe in what we want to. But the current state of Christianity is no different than Britain of yesteryear. Christians want everyone to believe how they believe or else. Leave you personal belief system at home or in the church. But do not make public policy from your religious beliefs. God I am beginning to be intolerant of Christians. It is because they want to tell the rest of us how to live our lives and I am sick of it.

"The Tree of Liberty should be Refreshed, from time to time, with the Blood of Patriots... and Tyrants." My favorite Mr. Jefferson qt.""
Wow we agree as long as you also mean billionaire tyrants like the Koch Brothers, Rupert Murdoch and CEOs of oil corporations. And their pawns like Bachmann and Scott Walker in WI. - Reply to this comment
- The Koch bros an ultra conservative pair fund many super right wing organizations such as Americans for Prosperity a group for which Michele Bachmann is a front for them. Some interesting reading on the Koch Bros. and don't take my word for it just google them.
The Koch conglomerate of companies states that the Koch family "owns a diverse group of companies involved in refining and chemicals; process and pollution control equipment and technologies; minerals; fertilizers; polymers and fibers; commodity trading and services; forest and consumer products; and ranching." (Koch Industries, "Koch Companies in Asia-Pacific" at Koch Industries website: http://www.kochind.com/, accessed April 2011.) This ever-expanding umbrella company was started in 1927 by Fred Koch who had four sons, Frederick R. Koch, b. 1932, Charles G. Koch b. 1935, David H. and William I. Koch twins born in 1940. Fred Koch was no less than a charter member of the John Birch Society (and while some argue that Koch was possibly the actual founder and creator of the John Birch myth, Robert Welch created the society in 1958) and passed his hatred of anything that imitated or suggested any form of "communism" to the current owners: his sons. These children, who are, through their foundations, arguably the leading and most influential funders of anti-regulation and conservative activism in the United States are open enemies of any social action or assistance to anyone who is poor, unemployed, underemployed, or unable to sustain life. Thriving in the World of Oz (the State of Kansas), but without Dorothy or Toto, Fred C. Koch was among those most determined to root out all who disagreed with his interpretation of government and freedom. No individual's wealth, life, reputation, or family was neither important nor would it be respected if it betrayed Fred C.'s megalomaniac interests.
Because of a narcissist complex where Fred C saw himself as the arbitrator of the world and believed that the world was his to pluck like ripe fruit to devour and satisfy his own peculiarities, Fred Koch was no less than a charter member of the John Birch Society (and argued, wrongly, by some as possibly the actual founder and creator of the John Birch myth) and passed his hatred of anything that imitated or suggested any form of "communism" to the current owners: his sons.
About 750,000 people a year die prematurely from air pollution related issues worldwide.To make such a claim is considered "communist" or "socialist" and is decried by those ignorant of science-including over 50 US Senators who believe that global warming and climate change is a hoax-because they accept bribes in the tens of thousands of dollars from the Koch family, wth many claiming that they are liberating the world from communism and false science in the name of John Morrison Birch.
What would be the priorities of the Koch brothers' Energy and Commerce Committee? Giving their benefactors anything they desire, of course: "Nine of the 12 new Republicans on the panel signed a pledge distributed by a Koch-founded advocacy group - Americans for Prosperity - to oppose the Obama administration's proposal to regulate greenhouse gases."
The treason of the Koch family is easily proven. It culminates with the Koch Brothers interference in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, and other states now controlled by the Tea Party, and with their controlling and bankrolling the Tea Party and similar groups the list of their crimes against humanity grows. The Koch Brothers should be tried for treason, and when found guilty Charles and David Koch should be executed (cp. http://whitehouser.com/politics/the-penalty-for-treason-is-death/). - Reply to this comment

This nation was founded on the principles of freedom, liberty, justice, equality, human rights, and civil rights.
ALL OF THOSE PRINCIPLES run contrary to the Christian religion.
I defy you to show me ANYWHERE in your bible, where those principles are proposed, advanced, or upheld. - Reply to this comment

I have read ALL of Jefferson's comments on religion.
The arrogance alone is outrageous.
The comment is nonsense. - Reply to this comment
