Michele Bachmann is a dangerous person

Good grief! Can you imagine her as President? The word "draconian" doesn't even begin to touch her view of things--she is so far beyond that! She's bought the farthest rightwing, born-again Christian, rewritten-history belief system straight down the line. Who cares about facts? She knows she has the "truth" (rightwing, nutcase style).

Read the following article that tells about her beliefs--and note that it appears in a usually rightwing website. I guess she is even too much for them to bear: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/06/14/michele-bachmanns-unrivaled-extremism-gay-rights-to-religion.html

Michele Bachmann's Unrivaled Extremism
by Michelle Goldberg, dailybeast.com

EXCERPT: In the statehouse, Bachmann made opposition to gay marriage her signature issue. Both she and her husband, by all accounts her most trusted political adviser, believe that homosexuality can be cured. Speaking to a Christian radio station about gay teenagers last year, Marcus [her husband], who treats gay people in his counseling practice, said, "Barbarians need to be educated. They need to be disciplined, and just because someone feels this or thinks this, doesn't mean that we're supposed to go down that road."

In 2004, Bachmann gave a speech warning that gay marriage would lead to schoolchildren being indoctrinated into homosexuality. She wanted everyone to know, though, that she doesn't hate gay people. "Any of you who have members of your family in the lifestyle, we have a member of our family that is," she said. "This is not funny. It's a very sad life. It's part of Satan, I think, to say that this is gay."

She was clearly talking about her 51-year-old stepsister, Helen LaFave, who had lived with her partner, Nia Wronski, for more than 15 years. ...

In a Star Tribune story headlined "Bachmann, stepsister hold opposing views," Bachmann claimed that she'd polled her siblings and stepsiblings, and that six of the nine agreed with her. Her stepbrother Mike LaFave was horrified. "The reality was she hadn't taken a family vote count, nor would my family ever do such a thing," he says. "I just find it terrible that when Michele was taken by surprise by a question she wasn't prepared for, the first thing she did was throw not only my sister but her whole family under the bus." (Such a good "Christian" thing to do. Lies come so naturally to her. If she could do this to her family, imagine what, given the power, she could do to strangers like "we, the people")
