Michele Bachmann Joins TMLC’s Citizens Advisory Board— Puts her Country Above Politics, Party and Political Correctness

ANN ARBOR, MI – The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, today announced that Congresswomen Michele Bachmann (R- MN) has agreed to serve on the Law Center’s Citizens Advisory Board.

In accepting service on the Advisory Board, Congresswoman Bachmann stated, “I am pleased to join forces with the Thomas More Law Center.  They are in the courts aggressively fighting the internal threat to America posed by radical Islam.”

Congresswoman Bachmann is a member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.  As a member of that Committee, she has steadfastly advocated for peace through strength to ensure America’s national security.

Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented, “We are honored to have the counsel of a tough, tested, true American patriot; a person who puts her country above politics, party and political correctness.  She understands and shares our concerns about the internal threat to our nation posed by Stealth Jihad as well as maintaining the Judeo-Christian values that made this nation ‘the shining city on the hill.”

Michele Bachmann is the mother of five and the foster mother of 23.  As a believer in the traditional values upon which this country was founded, she consistently defends traditional marriage, the importance of the family as the first unit of government, and the right to life for all Americans, including the unborn.

Bachmann expressed her strong commitment to America’s Judeo-Christian heritage and values:“I am honored to stand with the Thomas More Law Center as they engage in the legal battles to uphold the Judeo-Christian values upon which our country was founded.”   

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, a self proclaimed “Constitutional Conservative,” was first elected to the U.S. House of Representative in 2006.  Bachmann established the Tea Party Caucus in July 2010.
Prior to serving in the U.S. Congress, Bachmann served in the Minnesota State Senate from 2000-2006.

How the left ignores history...

and puts us all in danger.

I can remember my mom watching the Army-McCarthy hearings on TV in 1954.  Mom never watched daytime TV, so this was a rare sight.  Never one to let an opportunity to get some work done slip by, she ironed while she watched.  Years later she joked that the hearings went on so long she managed to reach the bottom of the ironing basket where she found one of my baby socks.  This was remarkable because I was 8 years old at the time.

While many of the methods employed by McCarthy were less than savory, history eventually exonerated him regarding many of his allegations concerning communist influence in our government.  Today, we have Allen West making many similar allegations about members of congress and Michele Bachmann questioning the vetting process for people in high security clearance positions.

The backlash against Rep. Bachmann has been particularly harsh, considering she is just one of 5 people (and the only woman) who wrote letters to several different government agencies requesting that they look into the possibility of undue influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in our government.

 Even several high-end Catholic bloggers are demanding she explain her position and have allowed wholesale Bachmann bashing in their comboxes.  The fact that these individuals did not read any of the letters in question, thereby having no clue as to their content, did not deter them from slamming Rep Bachmann.  One of them laughingly calls for Bachmann to provide documentation of her "allegations."  Problem is, she made no allegations against any individual, something they would have known if they had bothered to read the letters.

In today's article at the American Spectator, Jeffrey Lord has put together an easy to read, but very comprehensive, look back at the times in our history where this sort of thing has happened before.  It's a fascinating read and one I highly recommend.

Is Huma Abedin the New Alger Hiss?

Is Huma Abedin to the Muslim Brotherhood what Alger Hiss was to the Soviet Union?

Why are Republican Senator John McCain, Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rodgers (R-MI) acting in the growing Abedin controversy as Washington Establishment Democrats of the 1940s did in the Hiss episode? Which is to say, writing off the dangers of a foreign enemy whose goal is to infiltrate the U.S. government -- because, well, the people in question are part of the Washington Establishment?

And last but certainly not least, why is the Republican Establishment pursuing a losing strategy in the war against Islamic radicalism? Is it returning to the losing strategy it pursued during the Cold War -- a strategy that was overturned over Establishment opposition by Ronald Reagan's victorious "we win, they lose" strategy?

These questions arise because of McCain's vehement attack on Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Bachmann, along with four other conservative House members (Louis Gohmert of Texas, Trent Franks of Arizona, Thomas Rooney of Florida and Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia), has written a series of hotly controversial letters.

What did Bachmann and the others do to infuriate McCain? And draw a rebuke from Boehner and Rodgers?

The five House members wrote letters to the Inspector Generals of the Departments of State, Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security -- along with a fifth to the IG in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Asking?

Asking that the recipients take seriously the possibility that the Muslim Brotherhood is becoming a security threat within the government of the United States itself.   read the rest

Would Bachmann actually do this?...

I believe she would.

From the Washington Times:

BACHMANN: Little time to save America
First focus will be economy, then national security and families

I have often been criticized for saying that I could turn around the U.S. economy in just a few short months. That is not blind optimism talking, but rather the realization that the biggest impediment to true economic recovery has been the signal President Obama’s policies have been sending to the key audience for recovery, the job creators. Should I be fortunate enough to be elected by the American people to serve as president of the United States, I will have an ambitious agenda in the first 100 days that will send a signal to our country’s job creators and to the world that the days of socialist policies are over, that our free market is once again open for business and that we will once again lead the world as the true exceptional nation.   read the rest

Unfortunately, as my trip to St. Paul so clearly pointed out, the self-identifying elitist and intellectually incurious people of Minnesota think Michele Bachmann is "stupid" - their favorite word. 

You see for them, anyone who doesn't agree with their "bleeding heart liberal" (I'm quoting a St. Paul shop-keeper) agenda is a racist, homophobic, mean, and very stupid person.

Remember, these are the people that elected Jesse Ventura, Keith Ellison, and Mark Dayton.  Need I say more? 

NOW defends Sarah Palin against ugly sexist slurs...

no wait - they're defending Elizabeth Warren.

The "Nasty Old Women" are all wee wee'd up about Scott Brown taking a jab at Elizabeth Warren .

From the Blaze:  emphasis mine

Massachusetts Republican Sen. Scott Brown said Friday he was “joking” about the “Thank God” quip he made after Democratic rival Elizabeth Warren said she didn’t pose nude to pay for college.

The spat began Tuesday during a Democratic primary debate. Warren, when asked how she paid for school, said she “kept [her] clothes on” — a reference to Brown’s infamous Cosmopolitan photo spread when he was in law school.
Asked about Warren’s remark during a radio interview Thursday, Brown replied

“Thank God” and ignited a gender-based firestorm.

Among his critics were the National Organization for Women, which suggested he shouldn’t run for re-election and called his comments “the kind of sexist misogynistic attack that we have very sadly come to expect from politicians whenever there is a strong woman who is capable and really dedicated to the betterment of all people.” The Massachusetts Democratic Party said they were “the kind of thing you would expect to hear in a frat house, not a race for U.S. Senate.”  read the rest

 Wow.  That sounds like something one could say about Sarah Palin. Except they never said it about Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, or any other Republican woman running for office.  Never.

My advice to Elizabeth Warren and all the "ladies" who have their panties in a bunch?  Grow up.  We have serious problems in this country and you create a firestorm over a wisecrack.  Not a day passes that someone isn't being called upon to apologize for "offending" someone else.  I find all this offense taking to be really offensive.

You want to be offended?

The evil rich...

are the targets of the envious and stupid.

[...]The quest to “soak the rich” is one of the most dangerous obsessions in human history.  The moral implications of class warfare should disturb any lover of liberty.  Who gets to decide on the membership of the evil “Haves,” and how much their property rights attenuate with success?  Why is it immoral to oppose a tax increase on people who make more than $380,000 per year, but equally immoral to call for increased taxes on those who make $350,000 per year?  read the rest

Hey loony left -

notice Michele Bachmann dancing?  She's dancing with a guy and managing to look like a lady, unlike our first woman who squirms and hoochie dances by herself.  And while you're sitting around in all your arrogance declaring Bachmann the "stupidest person, evah", take time to Google, "stupid things Obama has said."  The list is long.

Sean Hannity and Michele Bachmann make Anthony Weiner look like, well - a weiner...

a little something for my loony lefty trolls.  Enjoy!
