Think Progress Bachmann: We should ‘make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers’ against health care reform. Bachmann: We should ‘make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers’ against health care reform. 
Yesterday, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) delivered a “ speech filled with urgent and violent rhetoric” at a gathering sponsored by the Independence Institute in Denver. During what was originally billed as a “personal legislative briefing,” Bachmann “ got downright biblical” when describing her unwavering opposition to health care reform: “This [health care reform] 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…Right now, we are looking at reaching down the throat and ripping the guts out of freedom. And we may never be able to restore it if we don’t man up and take this one on.”
According to the Colorado Independent, Bachmann also claimed that many Americans pay more than half their income in taxes, adding “it’s nothing more than slavery.” She affirmed that “you’re either for us or against us on this issue” and bragged about being the country’s “ second-most hated Republican woman.” Rather than spending quality time in her home district during August recess, some speculate that Bachmann’s trip signals her “branching out” and sowing some “rich, right-wing Western soil” in preparation for a future national run.
More proof that the left has moved to the right and the right has moved into a mental hospital.  |

Hopefully, the Republicans in her district will get her out of there before she causes them more trouble. |

She sees anything not positive about her to be "hate". Literally the only reason anyone knows her name on the national level is because of the bat s crazy stuff she says on public record. Often she gets embarrassed like when he son joined one of the evil "re-education camps" she had warned against. |

BTW, I met at a training a guy who works for Bachmann's husband. Her husband runs a Christian counseling service in the Twin Cities and the guy said he is a really nice boss. |

17As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
18"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. 19You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.'[ a]"
20"Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy."
21Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
22At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!"
24The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is[ b] to enter the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
26The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be saved?"
27Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
28Peter said to him, "We have left everything to follow you!" 29"I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life. 31But many who are first will be last, and the last first." New Neo-Con Edit: "But Lord I'll slit my wrists before I share 1 cent of my wealth. Freeeedom!!! Freeeeedom!!" (Braveheart Music Plays). | | |
