I think the broad sweep and inspirationally fresh look that Michele Bachmann brings to America is what makes her such a great politician. Her words will go down in history.
I remember being present as she spoke these words ata presidential campaign event in Florida2011 about that year’s East Coast earthquake and hurricane
:
"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to Me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending."
You will note how Michele knows God does not want money frittered away on relief efforts – God did not send “Relief Efforts" to Sodom and Gomorrah, did He? No! He inspired Lot to leave and start a new business with his daughters - Republicans mean business!
And then there is the Michele Bachmann who manages to sum up an entire political ethos in a few words: At the CPAC conference, March 2014, she said of her Tea Party
"Our movement at its core is an intellectual movement."
And what is the Bible – indeed what is God – if not “intellectual"?
She is strong on the economy, her insightful view in January 2005, for solving the unemployment problem was
"If we took away the minimum wage -- if conceivably it was gone -- we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level."
And I know she stands by that.
Her heritage is straight from Senator Joe himself: Sometime in 2008 she hit another nail on the head:
"I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out: Are they pro-America or anti-America?"
You can hear it now, can’t you, as Demoncrat after Demoncrat is dragged into the House and asked:
“Are you now, or have you ever been Anti-American?” – Listen to those Commies reply
“I plead the 5th!”
With her scientific knowledge, Global Warming Hippies are soon dismissed. From 2009, her very words were
"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."
And she gives a new twist to history, while speaking at an Iowan's for Tax Relief event in January 2011
:"But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States. ... I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forebears who worked tirelessly -- men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country."
Yes, yes… we know The Founding Fathers did not work to end slavery, and John Quincy Adams was not one of the Founding Fathers, but
if he had have been, he would have done. She sees the good in people.
I’m right behind her.
