Angie Meets Michele Bachmann

Michael Steele! You be da man! You be da man! Um, I'm Angie. I'm here to interview you for the campus newspaper. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out: are they pro-America or anti-America? Well, let's talk about your views, Congresswoman Bachmann. What do you think is the most serious issue facing our country today? Gay marriage is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I am not understating that. In fact, you may be overstating the perils of gay marriage, if anything. This is an earthquake issue. This will change our state forever. Because the immediate consequence, if gay marriage goes through, is that K-12 little children will be forced to learn that homosexuality is normal, natural and perhaps they should try it. And what a bizarre time we're in, when a judge will say to little children that you can't say the pledge of allegiance, but you must learn that homosexuality is normal and you should try it. I don't recall that ruling. But let's move on to some other topic. We will talk a little bit about what has transpired in the last 18 months and would we count what has transpired into turning our country into a nation of slaves. I don't understand. In what way are we a nation of slaves? If we look at American history, between 1942 and 1947, the data that was collected by the Census Bureau was handed over to the FBI and other organizations at the request of President Roosevelt, and that's how the Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps. I'm not saying that that's what the Administration is planning to do, but I am saying that private personal information that was given to the Census Bureau in the 1940s was used against Americans to round them up, in a violation of their constitutional rights, and put the Japanese in internment camps. So what information should the government have in order to be able to operate? I think there is a point where you say enough is enough to government intrusion …Does the federal government really need to know our phone numbers? Well, I've been getting 20 robo-calls a day from your campaign, so you may have a point. But let's move on. You've made it clear that you are opposed to the administration's policies on health care. This cannot pass. What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn't pass. Well, if people do as you suggest, that will certainly increase the demand for health care. Terri Schiavo was healthy. There was brain damage, there was no question. But from a health point of view, she was not terminally ill. Okay. But looking to the future, there is a huge problem looming in how to pay for health care for future generations. What are your thoughts on how to solve this problem? Unelected bureaucracies will decide what we can and can't get in future health insurance policy. That's why they're called death panels. I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence. Let's talk about the economy. How can it be turned around? If we took away the minimum wage — if conceivably it was gone — we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level. Then we certainly would be a nation of slaves. What are your views on international relations? The President of the United States will be taking a trip over to India that is expected to cost the taxpayers $200 million a day. I don't know where they're going to get all this money because we're running out of rich people in this country. I'm very concerned about the international moves they're making, particularly … moving the United States off the dollar and onto a global currency, like Russia and China are calling for. What are your environmental policies? The big thing we are working on now is the global warming hoax. It's all voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax. I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Carbon dioxide is natural, it is not harmful, it is a part of Earth's life cycle. And yet we're being told that we have to reduce this natural substance, reduce the American standard of living, to create an arbitrary reduction in something that is naturally occuring in Earth. Is that what your scientific advisors tell you? I just take the Bible for what it is, I guess, and recognize that I am not a scientist, not trained to be a scientist. I'm not a deep thinker on all of this. I wish I was. I wish I was more knowledgeable, but I'm not a scientist. Pelosi is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said she has even said she is trying to save the planet. We all know that someone did that, 2,000 years ago. Now that you've withdrawn from the campaign, will you be spending time with Sarah Palin? Lady Liberty and Sarah Palin are lit by the same torch. Thank you for your time, Congresswoman Bachmann. Your unique insights will certainly be missed.
