Bachmann: A Woman Among Spineless Men

we need to stand and fight with Michelle Bachmann

 

 

Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann has taken heat and ridicule lately  due to her adamant claims that the Muslim Brotherhood is and has been infiltrating the halls of  Ameri.... And while Bachmann is not alone in her claims (four  other Republican representatives have made similar accusations), she is taking  the largest portion of the backlash. Never one to back down from a fight,  Bachmann continues to encourage others to follow the same paper trail that she  did by simply reading the documentation. She, of all people, should know that  Americans don’t read, especially once they are elected to political office.

Turning Reagan’s famous phrase, “Trust, but verify,” on its head, most modern  congressmen—including the consistently disappointing John McCain—have adopted a “Don’t Trust, Don’t Verify” philosophy when it comes to potentially  controversial topics. Bachmann should be credited as one of the few willing to  take the road less travelled and stand her ground on this and many other  hot-button political issues. Why does it take a woman to show the men how to do  their jobs? If what she is claiming is so demonstrably false, why can’t one of  these congressional seat-fillers show the evidence to back up their claims,  rather than simply trying to dismiss Bachmann with a wave of their magical (and  limp-wristed) hand?

One of the few to actually respond to Bachmann, albeit ineffectively, was  fellow Minnesota Representative Keith Ellison. Ellison has the distinction of  being one of only two (professing) Muslim congressmen, gaining infamy years ago  by swearing into office on a Koran instead of a Bible. Ellison’s response to  Bachmann deliberately added words to a State Department letter in order to water  down the force of Bachmann’s argument. Bachmann’s response, which was apparently  read only by her own staff, doesn’t allow Ellison’s wordplay to stand. However,  political correctness demands that Bachmann must be wrong, so facts really have  nothing to do with the “truth” of the situation.

What is distressing about this whole affair is not the fact that the Muslim  Brotherhood may be gaining access to American government thanks to the State  Department. Let’s face it; this has been happening for years, well before  Hillary Clinton took charge. What is really disturbing is that 530 congressmen  out of 535 are unwilling to investigate the claims. What this means is that the  Republican majority in the House (not to mention the whole of Republican  senators) is, in reality, meaningless.

This is a presidential election year and conservatives are foaming at the  mouth and doing everything they can to get rid of Obama, meanwhile the vast  majority of Republican congressmen are unmoved by documented claims that people  with connections to a known terrorist organization are receiving high-level  access and security clearance. Apparently Obama isn’t the only threat to  America. Conservatives should be putting just as much effort into vacating 530  chairs in Congress as they have been putting into replacing Obama. It will  matter little to have removed Obama from office without also removing every  other congressman who values political correctness over political truth.
