Who actually voted for this lady?

Bachmann Blasts Obama's "Economic Marxism," Calls For "Orderly Revolution" To Save Freedom

Seriously. What the hell is wrong with people in Minnesota? Does this lady do anything productive? She seems to just run her mouth incessantly spewing forth bat-shit crazy ideas and saying inflammatory things just to get in the news. Then the one piece of legislation she puts forth is the "let's not get the mark of the beast", no international currency for the U.S. bill, which no one was talking about doing anyway. What the hell world do these people live in? There are real problems in this country. This isn't time to start getting your policy ideas from the Left Behind series (no offense to Kirk Cameron, what up Kirk?).

Here's a few gems for you:
"If Tim Geithner is successful under President Obama, and they move us to an international currency," Bachmann warned, "Then we have no hope of standing on our own as a sovereign nation with our own economic system. It's over. We can't do that."
Since when was that the plan lady? Quit trying to rile up the fundamentalist Christians and get people in a frenzy. More fear-mongering.

This is our very freedom, and we have 230 years, a continuous link of freedom that every generation has ceded to the next generation. This may be the time when that link breaks. And I'm going to do everything I can, I know you are, to make sure that we keep that link secure.
Really? You think we have a bigger chance of losing our freedom under Obama versus the last 8 years? Need I remind you of a little thing called the "Patriot Act". How about warrant-less wiretapping? You have to be kidding me. Wait, but let me clarify. Were you talking about the freedoms afforded to us by the Constitution (AKA the ones that were trampled on for 8 years), or the freedom to continue trampling on those freedoms and running the country into the ground?

Bachmann: Do we get into an inner tube and float 90 miles to some free country? There is no free country for us to repair to. That's why it's up to us now. The founders gave everything they had to give us this freedom. Now it's up to us to give everything we can to make sure that our kids are free, too. It's that serious. I hate to be dramatic, but--

Hannity: It's not -- you are not overstating this case, Congresswoman, and you don't need to apologize for it. And as a matter of fact, it's refreshing. And I can tell you, all around this country, on 535 of the best radio stations in this country, people are saying "Amen," "Hallelujah", "where have you been?"

Hold on second. Did I miss something? Are all the rest of the countries in the world dictatorships now? I thought I slept 8 hours last night, but I must have been sleeping for a lot longer. Or maybe Bachmann is another one of our chosen leaders who has no idea that something exists outside of America. I am sure people in the UK, Japan, Chile, Canada, France and Turkey would all like to believe they live in a "free" country.

I also like the part where she tries to pretend that she hates "to be dramatic", and then Sean Hannity backs her up. Talk about a match made in heaven. They should get matching straight jackets if they think what they are doing isn't high drama.
