Michele Bachmann’s Top 5 Wildest Predictions
Michele Bachmann has just announced she’s not running for reelection, so we’re beginning to wonder what Congress will be like without her and her many totally reasonable claims, like: Democratic presidents are linked to swine flu and the HPV vaccine causes mental retardation.
But while Bachmann may be retiring from Congress, her many predictions live on. Here are five of the wildest among them:
1. Obama will impose Sharia law
As the leader of a group of House Republicans that sought an investigation into Muslim-American staffers of the Obama administration, Bachmann repeatedly warned that administration officials and President Obama himself are determined to impose Sharia law in the US and around the world and take away the freedom of speech, religion, press and assembly.
2. Obama creating slavery, reeducation camps
At a 2010 conservative summit, Bachmann maintained that the first years of the Obama administration was part of an effort to turn “our country into a nation of slaves.” Ironically, Bachmann had signed a Religious Right group’s candidate pledge which said that African-American families were better off under slavery than “after the election of the USA’s first African-American president.” She also warned that Obama will create “re-education camps for young people” by expanding AmeriCorps, an organization of which her own son is a member, and might use the Census to put people into internment camps.
3. God will repeal Obamacare
After leading an unsuccessful prayer effort to stop Congress from passing Obamacare, she has consistently guaranteed that the law will be rescinded. If not, Bachmann has claimed that the law will “literally kill” people, institute “death panels,” deny health care to conservatives and government critics and establish school “sex clinics” with abortion services. Earlier this month she told James Dobson that “God is going to answer our prayers” and compel Obama to repeal the health care law.
4. Schools will turn kids gay
Bachmann began her political career by working in education issues, and as Religious Right activist, she naturally thought that public schools will teach kids to be gay, warning that soon “all schools will begin teaching homosexuality” and “little K-12 children will be forced to learn that homosexuality is normal, natural, and perhaps they should try it,” even suggesting that schools will use Elton John music in the Lion King to turn kids gay. “It’s part of Satan I think to say that this is “gay.” It’s anything but gay,” Bachmann said at a conference hosted by the far-right group EdWatch, “If you’re involved in the gay and lesbian lifestyle, it’s bondage. It is personal bondage, personal despair and personal enslavement.”
5. God backed her presidential bid
While on the campaign trail (and after), Bachmann invoked God as a supporter of her presidential bid, and she also called on God to put together her campaign operations. Of course, she finished last among major contenders in the Iowa caucus with just over 6,000 votes, and her campaign team was plagued by infighting and is currently under investigation for campaign violations.

Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
You’ll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble

Should I bugger off to bed now? 😉
WTF is a hypnotoad???????????????? – I’ve seen all the Spiderman and X-Men movies and I have yet to see a Hypnotoad!!!
Nite America
ps – who exactly IS she?
Well Norman she is one of our less intelligent leaders who..oh no! ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD!!
HEY! She was good! If there ain’t humor in politics then what is there???
Re-elect the bitch! Don’t let her go!
Who is she again? 😉
Sorry folks, but I will not miss her one bit. I am tired of her rants and craziness. For a while, a very short while, I found her insane rants to be humorous. However, her brand of nuttiness was as thin as tissues to begin with and she fell through really quick and hit my last nerve about 7 and one half years ago. Thanks for nuttin’ honey.
I am going to miss her particular brand of crazy but not to worry, there are those behind her that have been in training to take up the crazy mantle. She has done nothing in the 8 yrs she has been in congress to have anything signed into law. That is a sweet sweet job right there.
I would say you Yanks have some real crazies in your government but we in the UK have our share of nutters.
I’ve heard that Rowdy, and I think you have a much longer history therefore you have probably had more crazies. Then there’s the monarchy…..
OI! Leave our Queenie out of it mate! 😉
I’m going to miss her as well, but the Dems in general may suffer for it. I just read that when she’s running Democrats have a better chance of winning seats in close districts.
Time is running out for all of her predictions. Time has run our for this insane woman. May her god mercifully seal her mouth and stop her thought processes from dreaming up more garbage to embarrass herself with. Oops, sorry, her thought processes were stopped long ago.
James I’m going to miss her man. I checked and we have published close to 35 articles about her and her alone, with dozens more mentioning her insanity.
