Michele Bachmann's Call to Orderly Arms

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

Michele Bachmann has really been working overtime to try to define herself as the press' go-to person for hilarious statements about semi-understood government issues.

Take, for example, her appearance on Sean Hannity's radio show last week, when she continued railing about against her dark fantasy that Timothy Geithner and Barack Obama are in cahoots with China to have America cast away the U.S. dollar in favor of a global currency.

This time, though — just to prove that she's serious about her not-quite-kindergarten-level ideas — she decided to throw in a call for national revolution

"At this point the American people — it's like Thomas Jefferson said, a revolution every now and then is a good thing. We are at the point, Sean, of revolution. And by that, what I mean, an orderly revolution — where the people of this country wake up get up and make a decision that this is not going to happen on their watch. It won't be our children and grandchildren that are in debt. It is we who are in debt, we who will be bankrupting this country, inside of ten years, if we don't get a grip. And we can't let the Democrats achieve their ends any longer…

"If Tim Geithner is successful under President Obama, and they move us to an international currency," Bachmann warned, "Then we have no hope of standing on our own as a sovereign nation with our own economic system. It's over. We can't do that."

Well, what do we do Congresswoman Bachmann? Can we maybe climb onto some kind of floatation device and paddle to some place safe?

"Do we get into an inner tube and float 90 miles to some free country? There is no free country for us to repair to. That's why it's up to us now. The founders gave everything they had to give us this freedom. Now it's up to us to give everything we can to make sure that our kids are free, too. It's that serious. I hate to be dramatic, but–"

Oh, Congresswoman! You're not overtstaing your case. Tell her, Sean Hannity. Reassure her in your calm, sobering, not-idiotic kind of way…

"[Y]ou are not overstating this case, Congresswoman, and you don't need to apologize for it. And as a matter of fact, it's refreshing. And I can tell you, all around this country, on 535 of the best radio stations in this country, people are saying "Amen," "Hallelujah," "where have you been?"

Hallelujah, indeed.

  2. We already had an orderly revolution in which we elected Obama president and overthrew the last horrid regime.

  3. Is that her? She's much more banging in that picture than she was…. every other time I've seen her.

  4. I won't be surprised when you write a blog about where you criticize a home owner instead of the guy who broke into his house.

    you did know that Sect. Geithner says he wants one world currency, right?

    wakey wakey Dennis

  7. I always remember those family gatherings. when I was a child. where great grandpa would tell us of the 90 mile innertube journey he took to come to America. Technically it wasn't really 90 miles, because his family home was on the extreme west coast of Ireland so it was more like 83 miles.
