Right-Wing ‘Hot for Jesus’ Congresswoman Claims Planet Already Saved
August 15, 2008 · Print This Article
Meet Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minnesota. Congratulations, America – though Bachmann may not have been on your radar before (unless you’re a Minnesotan), you’re not likely to forget her now, much to your chagrin, since she’s demonstrated herself to be a total right-wing whackjob.
You see, Bachmann’s got a problem with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s insistence that we need an energy policy to ‘save the planet’. It seems that Bachmann is offended by Pelosi’s efforts to prevent us from completely destroying the planet that, according to Bachmann’s own beliefs, was entrusted to us by a ‘higher power’.
From PoliticalBlogs.StarTribune.com:
“[Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said that she’s just trying to save the planet,” Bachmann said. “We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago, they saved the planet — we didn’t need Nancy Pelosi to do that.”
It’s depressing that there are people in the world – let alone in Congress – who think like this. Call me crazy, but uh – if I remember correctly, the Bible says absolutely nothing about Jesus saving the planet. Just the immortal souls of the people on it, or something like that. So, this line shouldn’t even make sense to people who subscribe to the same beliefs as this wonk-eyed slag. It’s likely an effort to inject some fire into a dejected Republican base before the election, though that may be giving her too much credit. She might just really believe what she said.
We shouldn’t be surprised, though. This is the same woman who told a crowd of parishioners at the Living Word Church in Brooklyn,
“What does God say when he looks at you or looks at me? He wants to say, ‘she’s hot, he’s hot,’ because we are hot for him on the inside,” Bachmann said. “When you are hot for Jesus Christ, nothing is like that life.”
Christ. On. A. Cracker.

Twist, spin, lie, and change your mind. Command of the English language is so poor, a sentence can not even be presented correctly. I think all of Congress needs to be replaced; all parties. I say, “drill, close the borders, and U.S. Law is for U.S. Citizens only. All non - U.S. Citizens need to go home to their native land”. I’m sick of all of this useless babble from all you geniuses.
@Bizwags Your command of the English language is mind blowing.
People who think the planet is”already saved” are really odd to me - it seems like a way to turn a blind eye, or be lazy about your effect on the planet. And to take it even further, your effect on the people and all things that live around you. This is sort of the American mind set we are taught- and that is that all people are entirely seperate…and while it is true on some level, it shouldn’t be ignored that we obviously have an effect on those around us.
The other thing is, i am willing to bet that her home and front lawn are the thing of martha stewart’s wet dreams, I bet it is spick and span,tidy,and clean - SO WHY would you treat the earth, which is the home you built your house on, with total disrespect…. this concept makes no sense to me.
