Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), is always fodder for Keith Olbermann on MSNBC's Countdown and for good reason, the woman has proven to be no the brightest bulb in the box, you can call her Palin-esque, she stated that it was coincidental that the two swine flu outbreaks occured during a period in which there was a Democrat President in office, currently and "in the 1970s with President Carter" when in fact the swine flu outbreak in the 1970s occurred in 1973 when Gerald Ford was in office.

Also, she has proven herself to be, well, a paranoid mega-bitch. She stated that the AmeriCorps, a benevolent, non partisan organization, is like "re-education camp" in which young impressionable minds are indoctrinated in Obama's close-to-marxist ideology (little did she know that her own son was preparing for, and would join the AmeriCorps a few months later!) She helped establish a charter school in Stillwater, Minnesota in which money from tax dollars went to operating this school which is essentially a "re-education camp" for radically conservative Christians ideology (Disney movies like Aladdin are banned on the grounds that they supposedly promote witchcraft and paganism and Creationism is taught as legitimate science).

And who could forget her infamous appearance on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews (October 17, 2008) in which Matthews asked her, "How many people in the Congress of the United States do you suspect as being anti-American?" she replied "What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. 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? I think people would love to see an expose like that." Her idea "anti-american" is that it is another word for "liberal".

Anyway, now this women is taking on the language of pro-choice activists in her attempt to demonize health care reform. On Sean Hannity's radio show, she said, "... people need to continue to go to the town halls, continue to melt the phone lines of their liberal members of Congress and let them know, under no certain circumstances will I give the government control over my body and my health care decisions."

Yeah, you heard it right, staunchly pro life advocate, Michelle Bachmann, doesn't want the government taking control of her body. Makes you wonder, what Bachman would have to say if she was somehow in the un-Christian position of having an unwanted pregnancy. Clearly, when it comes to her body Bachmann is all for preventing the government from making decisions, yet when some wicked women gets knocked up, on planet Bachmann, the government should step in and prevent any abortion from occuring to "maintain a Christian nation."

Bottom line is don't adopt the language of a movement you are staunchly opposed to in order to speak out for your own movement, it makes you look like a hypocrite.

By the way, heres a little "What Would Jesus do?" for Ms. Bachmann:

Would Jesus support quality health care for everyone or would he prefer to allow private for-profit insurance companies to rake in huge profits by denying insurance claims of people in dire need of health care? I think the answer is obvious, but planet Bachman is a parallel universe.
