OMG Michele Bachmann Has Principles!



The Daily Beast has thrown an opening jab in the good fight to destroy Michele Bachmann. Hardly a haymaker, the article seems to be saying that she's not really crazy just religious. The article does remind us of one historical fact that most of us may have forgotten. It was born again Jimmy Carter who made the first political overture to evangelical Christians. Yes, James Earl Carter, the sort of soft shelled Baptist who wrote an article explaining his belief system in Playboy. Hey, separation of church and state crowd wasn't Jimmy Carter a deacon in his church? Anyway Bachmann and her husband campaigned for Carter and went to one of the inaugural balls but soon became disenchanted with Carter (as did everyone else).



While the article is written from a loony left point of view it does provide a few facts that shouldn't surprise us. In high school Michele Bachmann was a cheerleader and a member of the homecoming court and it was the school curriculum offered to her foster children that first got Bachmann into politics. What I take away from the article is that Michele Bachmann has since her teen years lived a life of faith and good works. She is, much to the Beast's consternation, a very plain spoken, strong willed, authentic politician.
