POTUS BACHMANN (R/T) Close To Home

Too Close!

"And there is her Oral Roberts University professor John Eidsmoe, with whom Bachmann  collaborated on a book about how America is a Christian nation founded by Christians:

When Biblical law conflicted with American law, Eidsmoe said, O.R.U. students were generally taught that "the first thing you should try to do is work through legal means and political means to get it changed."

Sounds a bit like Shariah?"

Bachmann's Unrivaled Extremism

"Bachmann honed her view of the world after college, when she enrolled at the Coburn Law School at Oral Roberts University, an "interdenominational, Bible-based, and Holy Spirit-led" school in Oklahoma. "My goal there was to learn the law both from a professional but also from a biblical worldview," she said in an April speech."

"Eidsmoe, who hung up the phone when asked for an interview, is a contentious figure. Last year, he withdrew from speaking at a Wisconsin Tea Party rally after the Associated Press raised questions about his history of addresses to white supremacist groups."

"None of this is likely to sour her many devoted fans. Indeed, it's precisely her unwavering ideological commitment that endears her to them. "She's not afraid to say things that other people on the right are probably thinking, but they're just too wimpy to say," says Pulkrabek, who supports Bachmann's presidential ambitions. "She says these things and she promotes these views because she really believes them."

"Michele Bachmann's world view has been shaped by institutions and people unfamiliar to most Americans."

What took place during this woman's stay here in Teatown in 78-79 to turn her towards the crazy?

Please tell me that people won't be this stupid. How in the world does a crazy get this far in American politics?

I learned a long time ago to pick my battles wisely, and I choose not to wade into this one.

"The only reason we've been a great nation — guess why? Because at our founding we established everything we did on the lordship of Christ."

Ex-Aide: Bachmann 'Out of Ideas'


http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2011/11/01/ed-rollins-bachmann-out-of-ideas.html

Michele Bachmann must rue the day she hired Ed Rollins to manage her presidential campaign: her former aide (he left the campaign in September) continued his war of words against her Monday, telling ABC News that she has "run out of money and ideas." Rollins said he wanted Bachmann to focus solely on Iowa, while she wanted to campaign in other states, too. He says he left because he didn't want to spend the winter "fighting with a candidate who wouldn't listen and had no money."
