From various articles. He added in the same interview that Santorum hates gays, but not all of the articles discuss that.
So I guess Bachmann would be my choice. I’m too old to forget what happened on 09-11-01 when even the “peaceful” Muzzies in this country danced and cheered.
*
Newt Gingrich also ¨hates Muslims,¨ as does every other candidate except Ron Paul and Bush´s heir, ¨Mr. Religion of Peace¨ Romney.
*
Paul actually thinks that being nice to Moslims will make them not want to hurt us.They are smiling to his face but laughing behind his back at such naivete and gullibility.
*
I don’t know about the candidates or you guys, but I don’t hate Muslims. I don’t trust ANY of them because of taqiyya, and because their “holy” scripture tells them to enslave (charge me jizya) or kill (Jihad) me if I decline to convert. I pray for their enlightenment and conversion to following Christ, and would help them if they wished; but I have no wish to torment or kill them just for NOT converting!
The only thing they understand is strength, which is now sorely lacking. Never trust them or turn your back on them. Don’t let any more in, and carefully watch those already here!
Same with queers, abortion supporters, progressives and other assorted undesirables. Pray for them, help them change if they are willing, but never trust them or turn your back on them.
*
"Always treat the muslim as if he is loaded. "
An excellent perspective!
*
Muslims only offically hate homosexuals. Many Muslim societies are larded with pederasts - A’stan, the entire Taliban, not sure about Saudi Arabia - it’s historical. One of the man reasons the Hindus loathed the Muslim invaders was the Muslims’ practice of sodomizing boys.
*
Ron Paul is a certifiable nut case. I'm sure Ron Paul likes Muslims. He doesn't think they are responsible for 9/11 and believes it was an inside job. Ron Paul likes Muslims, but he sure doesn't like Jews! The Weekly Standard ran an excellent article about his history of virulent anti-Semitism.
Ron Paul is a disgrace and a joke. He isn't fit to stand on the same stage as the other Republican candidates.
*
“She doesn’t like Muslims, she hates Muslims, she wants to go get them.”
He says that like it's a bad thing?
*
Ok, so Bachmann does not like muslims, those people who want to kill us but she loves our friends in Israel.
Ok, so Paul loves muslims, doesn't care if they have nukes and agrees with them that the US is responsible for every bad thing around and hates our only friends in the middle east Israel.
How does anyone with a brain support this lunatic?
Wait, I answered my own question.
*
She doesn’t hate all Muslims, just about the 95% who are evil. The other 5% who don’t actively wish us harm she tolerates....
*
Doesn't Paul know that koranimals everywhere hate Infidels?
*
That's the best thing i’ve heard about her!
Exterminate them before they do it to us as they have avowed to do!
*
Deport All muslims, they have no business here in the United States, except for duping idiots like Ron Paul.
*
Paul and his minions are dangerous. There is a good chance he will run as a third party candidate because he has NO CHANCE of becoming the Republican nominee. That will make him a spoiler like Perot. He will guarantee a second Obama term, and therefore the end of the United States as we know it.
*
I've thought from the outset that Paul is a dirty antiSemite. He'd like to see the Jews in Israel wiped out, not too much different from Jimmy Carter.
How's that for a comeback? It's pretty much unanswerable. Time to shoot this one at the Flake from Friendswood, TX.
*
I hate Islam, but not Muslims.
Islam is evil. It calls for its followers to hate Jews and Christians and some of them are acting on that. How can anyone not hate Islam?
*
"She hates Muslims. She hates them"
Don't we all? Where is the problem here?
*
I have many good friends who are Jewish. However, until 9/11, I could never really empathize entirely with the feeling of total revulsion they must have seeing people in Nazi uniforms. I certainly never has such feelings towards Russians, for example, even though their government wanted to destroy our system of life and replace it with communism. Then came 9/11 and the joyous celebration of this hideous, utterly wanton atrocity, by just about all the world's influential Mudslimes and all the dissembling and excuse making by every influential Mudslime group in this country. Now, when I see any of them in public wearing their traditional garb I fell the same, entirely rational, psycho-physical revulsion toward them my Jewish friends must feel towards individuals in Nazi uniforms. Strange thing, when you know somebody probably wants to murder you in the most horrible ways imaginable just because you're a loyal American, it tends to affect you a bit.
*
The problem here is that so much of society , especially here in America has been conditioned to be ‘’tolerant’’. This pc nonsense about ‘’all cultures being the same, wanting the same things ‘’etc. This is not only nonsense it's suicide. There IS true evil in the world. Intractable, implacable and intolerable evil and no amount of ‘’tolerance;;(which is really the virtue of believing in nothing) is going to change it. It is a rare thing when it rears it's head, true evil, but when it does it must be confronted. We are creations of a Divine Being who made us in HIS image and we have the right, the duty, to defend our lives as HE gave us life and not to bow down or allow ourselves to be slaughtered on the altar of some evil’s twisted value system in the name of ‘’tolerance’’. Nazism was one of those rare evils that was a threat to humanity and it was vanquished. Communism was another one. But they were recent phenomenons. Islam has been on this Earth for 1,4000 years and shows no signs of abating.God loves us. Allah wants us dead. And I'll be damned if I'll ever allow myself or my family or my nation to submit to that.
*
And there it is -- it's out of the bag and on the table -- It's not about Obama's or even Bush's "liberating, regime change or nation-building the fill-in-the-blank Muslim country of the week in the ME" or whatever screwing around with ourselves "ME strategies" we devise . It's really about hatred for Muslims --ostensibly because they hate us & proved that on 9/11.
The truth is that most of us hate Muslims and want to wipe them all out, whether we want to admit it or not. That's why it's so easy to take us to war over there with little or no pretext. It's also why few are screaming their heads off that Obama is taking this on himself without getting Congressional approval -- because "We the People" don't want to take responsibility for starting a Crusade --and neither does Congress.
No one has to tell me about Muslims and how they hate us, their history, etc. I know it. I'm descended from people who spent 500 years under the Ottoman Turks and were delivered back to these Islamists 15 years ago in the Balkans -- by the very NATO who is currently fighting them.
IMHO it has nothing to with justifications, it has to do with admitting it and realizing that it influences all our political opinions.
Ron Paul does have a way of calling "a duck, a duck", when everyone one else is dancing around "potentially evolved, flat-beaked, web-footed, feathered, reptiles." It's useful.

"Islam is a “religion” which deceives people."
No, Islam is a "fascist ideology" Masqurading as a religion in order to keep it's people submissive...Islam means submission.
From someone who was born into Islam, raised in an Islamic society, and now, as an ex-Muslim:
"The ultimate goal of Islam is to rule the world....democracy does not exist in any of the languages spoken by Muslims. “To understand a civilization,” “it is important to understand its vocabulary.... If it was not on their tongues it is likely that it was not on their minds either.”
Democracy implies equality. But equality is unacceptable in Islam. Un-believers cannot be equal to believers and women are not equal to men. Even the non-Muslims are not deemed to be equal.
“Islam is a religion of peace” is a preposterous slogan that is part of the strategy of the Islamic “Game of Deception”..... Islam does not mean peace, it does not preach peace, it has never been peaceful and it will never be..... Islam has advanced through aggressive militarism and regards Jihad and martyrdom as the most meritorious acts............... Islam is militant and imperialistic by its very nature.
Clearly Islamic system of government is fascistic:
• It is marked by centralization of authority under a supreme leader vested with divine clout.
• It has stringent socioeconomic control over all aspects of all its subjects ....(Important: irrespective of their faith).
• It suppresses its opposition through terror and censorship.
• It has a policy of belligerence towards non-believers.
• It practices religious apartheid...... It disdains reason....It is imperialistic.... It is oppressive.... It is dictatorial and It is controlling.
Islam, like fascism, appeals to people with low self esteem and low intelligence. Both these ideologies are irrational.... They disdain reason, and hail devotion and submission to a higher authority.... Like fascists, Muslims are triumphalists.... They seek power, domination and control..... They pride themselves in their strength of number, in their mindless heroism, in their disdain for life and in their willingness to kill and die for their cause.
Islam is political and political Islam is fascism".
This is not even close to homosexuality....which is a choice...one is not "born" homosexual....or born into it.
These are actual quotes on current and past news topics from members of the far right forum FreeRepublic.

Two Bachmann posts: Marcus Bachmann owns a "pray away the gay clinic", and Libs call Marcus Bachmann gay
Summary: Marcus Bachmann's clinic helps gays who want to go straight through Jesus do so, and the dirty liberals want to make this sound like a bad thing.
Back when America still had some moral fiber, the fact that a candidate’s spouse helped gays go straight with Jesus’ help would have been viewed as a PLUS, not a minus.
So sad how far we have fallen.
*
"We have to understand that this is literally a clash of WORLDVIEWS.
Unrepentant gays believe that there is no need to do God’s Work on their behalf because GOD MADE THEM THAT WAY. There is NOTHING TO REPENT.
Hence, trying to change them is akin to changing what God Himself made.
Of course, what people don’t see is that the Bachmann’s aren’t forcing their worldview on people. They are trying to help those gays who struggle with their identity and do not subscribe to the the worldview of the unrepentant gay."
What true believer of any religion, let alone Christianity, believes that God made homosexuals as they are?
It's leftists and secular humanist argument that has been advanced by Communists in this nation going back to at least 1963.
Anyone claiming God made the way they are isn't speaking for God.
*
To even suggest that the gay life style may be a choice (at least for some) is to be accused of “hate speech.” And even if if it’s not a choice that doesn’t make it natural.
***
Summary: The evil liberals are accusing Marcus Bachmann of being gay/ex-gay.
...and how is it that they have not pronounced Obama gay for marrying such a “man-ish” gal? I would imagine this hypocracy has not escaped most of us, so how did it escape the media?
*
Leftists [communists] can support two opposing agendas* at the same time if it furthers their power and advances communist domination (ie, destruction of capitalism and Christianity),
so hypocrisy is not a stretch.
(*Islam and feminism/homosexuality)
*
"The Homosexual movement is a greater threat to American freedom than Islam."
Given the choice, I'd rather take my chance with the poofers than with the jihadists.
At least gays aren't trying to bring down airliners.
*
I happened to hear this on ABC news this evening. It was their lead story. I agree, the tone was derisive. They sounded aghast that someone would pray for a homosexual this way. I did not hear them ask if it had helped any one. They probably don’t believe it ever would and/or don’t want to know.
*
I have often wondered how the lefties can so wholeheartedly support Muslims AND the homosexual communty when they have to know that muslim radicals want to destroy gays much MORE than they do the rest of us.
*
I think Zero is probably a poofter. At least a part-time poofter.
*
"At least gays aren't trying to bring down airliners."
No. They're trying to sodomize your sons.
*
Have we forgotten Larry Sinclair? Whatever happened to him?
--- Oh man, I should totally do a Larry Sinclair post.
*
Have you ever seen [Obama] walk down the stairs of Air force 1? His wrists are held together and bobbing up and down - it's weird looking.
*
I bet Jon Stewart is a pickle smooching sodomite.
Sure looks and acts like one.
*
Truth be told I believe the Obama stories out of Chicago
I do. They were never really refuted, just unreported.
*
"Take away the canned laugh-track [on The Daily Show], turn your brain on, and I think you'll realize that most "comedy" material is mere stupidity (or worse)."
It's worse. It's programming.It takes advantage of the human tendency to laugh when others do, regardless, (people will, even if they don't know what's funny).
Once people have been programmed to laugh, they equate the stimulus with humor, or at least de-sensitized to the normal reaction of disgust they might have had before. It's almost Pavlovian.
Given even a second to think about it, they would likely not laugh at all.
*
0bama looks and acts like a flamer. The professional buffoons don't tell people to laugh at 0bama; they don't mock his effeminate mannerism.
The problem isn't the sodomite thing.
The problem is the "getting your political ideas from buffoons" thing. If you're right, if a critical mass of folks in the American electorate really do decide how to vote based on the antics of buffoons, then we're screwed. Such an electorate can be relied upon to select the worst of all possible candidates.
Todd Palin being "kickass" is irrelevant. It just means that the buffoons will need some other angle to mock the Palins. Same with Mr. & Mrs. Paul, Mr. & Mrs. Cain.

Slavery language in the marriage pledge
From various articles.
Summary: In a now famous Marriage Pledge, signed by presidential candidates Bachmann and Santorum, one conservative group sought to define marriage between a man and a woman. However, one controversial passage in the preamble raised some eyebrows:
"Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA?s first African-American President."
The social conservative group has retracted that language. Bachmann defended it earlier this weekend.
I am so pissed about this retraction. I have been on Facebook all day defending this clear language that DID NOT say that black children were better off under slavery. Now they retract it. Ridiculous!
*
This slavery horse crap !! I have heard this ridiculous whining all my life and enough!! NO one alive had anything to do with it and the country has been destroyed, Pandering to these Clowns and idiots!
*
The really sad thing is, the Left has no interest whatsoever in bettering the plight of the black family.
If they address this comment at all, they’ll know that it didn’t really say or mean what they will say it did. No, they won’t be defending blacks.
They will simply be attacking people on the right.
The Left is a very evil enterprise as a group.
*
Today’s dysfunctions and misplaced moralities versus yesteryear’s chattel slavery — the conditions of which varied greatly according to locale — this is not something that can be propounded in a sound bite. If they wanted to produce a lengthy discourse on it that explained all the angles possible, that would be a different story.
--- Yeah, you read that right. This guy thinks the problem here is that comparing the problems of modern black Americans to antebellum black Americans is just too complicated and require a long debate.
*
Yes, Virginia, some things are worse than slavery.
*
Some slave manned plantations had more liberal (in a good sense) policies and allowed their slaves to have side businesses and to buy themselves free. Some allowed marriages and families that were preserved as a group. This was due to Christian morality, which some masters honored more than others depending on their personal convictions.
*
Children born into slavery could be separated from their mothers and sold from the moment they were born, could be beaten or whipped, could be worked to exhaustion or death, could be starved, and could be raped. And sometimes they were - that's what slavery is all about. The notion that all this is "better off" than today's conditions is both ridiculous and offensive.
*
This entire episode is a case study in why conservatives (and conservatism) loses in the public forum of ideas.
1. Conservative group or person makes a controversial statement (such as the suggestion that black children enjoyed more stable “families” under slavery than in many situations today - a statement which has the ring of truth).
2. The left screams “racism”, or, what-have-you.
3. The conservative person or group goes wobbly, starts trying to “clarify” his/her/their remarks.
4. The left screams louder.
5. The conservative person or group “apologizes” and retracts his/her/their earlier remarks. The “retraction” has no bearing to the fact that the remarks are based on truth. Rather, it comes with ONE reason: to “save face” and to stop the screaming.
When are conservatives going to stand up to the screamers and say, “I said what I meant and meant what I said, I’m NOT sorry, I’m NOT going to apologize, and I’m NOT going to take back what I said, for truth is truth.” ????
Just sayin’....
*
The other argument is this....Not that the black folks are totally responsible for abortion in this country, however as a group they had the power to prevent many/most of the 60 million plus abortions that have taken place.
Same can be said of American Catholics, they also had the power as a group to prevent the aprox 60 million abortions that have taken place.
Also Black`s/Catholics both have blood on their hands, not just for abortion, but gay marriage, having prayer and God`s Word removed from public square etc.
For full disclosure RINO WASP`s etc that have voted Democrat or for moderate Republicans etc, also have blood on their hands. Not sure if this group alone could have prevented all the death/destruction? But certainly the other 2 groups on their own could have prevented liberal Supreme Court Justices from ever having their say.
Black`s have such a rich Christian heritage, but now when they wave their arms in Church Sunday Morning saying they Love Jesus, it`s all in vain IMHO
*
I understood the meaning of the original pledge's wording as this:
" A black child born today in America has less of a chance, less hope, then a black child born in America when slavery was legal. "
That's simply true. Simply, horribly, brutally true.
*
"Can someone tell me what is inaccurate in this statement? "
Nothing inaccurate at all, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a stupid thing for a Presidential candidate to sign.
*
When the Irish first came to the U.S. (famine), they were treated worse than the slaves. Strange that no one talks about it much.
*
it was American slavery, versus that in the Caribbean and Brazil, that fostered stable family units among slaves. It was this, among other things, that was principally responsible for American slavery to have been a relatively minor participant in the importation of slaves compared to the Caribbean and Brazil. Though the same thing could be said about black children for almost any time in U.S. history up to about the 1970s.
*
The comparison is stupid, and offensive. Slavery is totally anomalous in a free society. . Those families were not free agents. A better one would have been to compare today with 1960. Free blacks in 1960 were doing much better. Even with the burden of racial segregation, blacks were better able to maintain family life.

Tom Petty won't back Michele Bachmann's use of 'American Girl'
Article from the Star Tribune
Summary: Michele Bachmann wants to use 'American Girl' for her campaign, but Tom Petty doesn't want her to.
Song sucks, anyhow
*
This is what acid, cocaine, booze and meth combined with Liberalism will do to your brain.
*
Maybe we need some songs from the Revolutionary War period. Appropriate for our current needs & no writer to whine about the use of the song.
*
this is just cya of the musician. Does he even OWN the song?
*
I’d use the Taylor Swift version of it anyways. I never liked Petty Tom’s voice.
*
"Republicans should just avoid using any contemporary music because 99% of the authors are going to be drug-addled liberals and will refuse permission to use some song they wrote 40 years ago, thinking this demonstrates political sophistication instead of just being , well, petty."
You need to listen to more country music and less of the empty-headed, valueless junk on top 40 radio. I know multiple people in the country music industry, and they're far more tea party types and put their families first then anything that's been festering in Los Angeles.
*
Baraq has no problems like this.
Rights to The Internationale are free.
*
"Why would she want to use a song about suicide, anyway? Someone answer me that."
It’s just a ‘tune’ to the vast majority. Nobody pays attention to lyrics.
*
How about “Born in the USA”? 0bama certainly can’t use it.

You need to listen to more country music and less of the empty-headed, valueless junk on top 40 radio. I know multiple people in the country music industry, and they're far more tea party types and put their families first then anything that's been festering in Los Angeles.

Baraq has no problems like this.
Rights to The Internationale are free.

"Why would she want to use a song about suicide, anyway? Someone answer me that."
It’s just a ‘tune’ to the vast majority. Nobody pays attention to lyrics.

How about “Born in the USA”? 0bama certainly can’t use it.
Michele Bachmann's foster children are "threatened"
These are generally about the GMA interview that Stephanopoulus had with Bachmann, but the majority of the outrage is directed at this question that he asked:
Finally one—one final question. I think one of the most impressive things that people find in your background is the fact that you and your husband have helped raise 23 foster children and I know you want to shield them but are they prepared and are you prepared for the loss of privacy that comes with the president campaign? And is that something you are concerned about for them?
Just wanted to put that out there pre-derp.
Sounds like an attempt to threaten her into leaving the race.
*
This is a personal threat from that POS,Attacking children NOW, Ok that works both ways.
*
The Libs will offer one or more of the kids vast sums of money to lie about their treatment while in foster care.
*
Stephy (in a fake manly voice): “Nice foster kids ya got there. Be a real shame if anything happened to ‘em.”
*
Yeah, well raising foster children is sure to be turned into a negative when you are fighting the filthy, degraded, druggie, baby-killing lefties.
*
If we as Conservatives do not unite and fight the War systematically being waged upon us by the Media then we will cease to exist.
The REAL opponent now is the Media.
Without them doing these things Obama would never be viable.
This so disgusts me, I am unable to respond any other way.
It is a War.
*
Good grief, people. Chill out. A threat?
You sound like star-struck school girls who just read a bad review of Justin Bieber concert.
*
The One’s children were shielded from the media during the whole campaign. The media was happy to comply.
That is unless the Obamas wanted to use them as props at the rallys ... like little Sasha’s ridiculous act at her dad’s faux Greek temple.
*
Not only has the media not threatened a Democrat this way, but Michelle Obama bragged that the media protects her and her children. Remember how Chelsea Clinton was off limits, but how the media relentlessly dogged the Bush twins?
When will Americans — Democrats and Republicans and whatever else — finally stand up and say “ENOUGH!” It is patently indecent to scrutinize the children of our leaders, whether they are minors or adults.
This is one place Independents could wield some real power: tell the MSM that Americans are not interested in gossip. We ARE interested in One Nation under God, with Liberty and Justice for All.
*
Stephonopolis is absolutely disgusting.
Our founders were raised in a country where slavery was the norm. The created a government that put all the levers in place to end slavery, a 200 year institution in America. Their actions put slavery on course for extinction.
Stephy can go to hell or Greece. Take your Pick Stephy.
*
I predict that in the near future Michele and Sarah will embrace each other onstage, with Sarah saying something like “One helluva cat fight here, eh?”
*
Some how I do not think Stephanopoulos interviewed Obama the same way? Now the media wonders why people think they are bias. Look no further than this interview and compare it to Obama worship and slob fest.
*
OMG!! I thought kids were off limits!!!! Have they NO shame?? No, Democrats are VILE and EVIL!!!!!!
*
I AM FED UP WITH THE f*ING DISGUSTING LYING PIGFACE MEDIA.
THEY HAVE GONE AFTER SARAHS FAMILY. NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO INTIMIDATE REPUBS WITH THIS FILTHY THREAT.
I KNOW THEY DON’T HAVE A SHRED OF DECENCY, ETHICS, OR MORALS.
*
Anyone who lived through Germany in the 30’s would surely be appalled by this today.

Yet, four years later Steponallofus is still studiously ignoring anything and everything about 0bowWow.

11 Occidental College Transcripts
12 Parent’s marriage Certificate
13 Record of baptism

23 Obama 1964 Divorce Papers - 13 Pages - Missing Pg 11
24 Why isn't Barack Obama still a member of the Illinois bar and where are all of the relevant documents?
25 Why isn't Michelle Obama still a member of the Illinois bar, after only about four years of practice, and where are all of the relevant documents?
Anyone who cares about their country would be very concerned that a POTUS had hidden every scrap of information of his life that he possibly could.
