**Michele Bachmann, the outspoken conservative House representative from Minnesota, says the United States will cease to exist if it "fails to stand" with Israel.
"I am convinced in my heart and in my mind that if the United States fails to stand with Israel, that is the end of the United States," Bachmann said at a meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition in Los Angeles on Feb. 6.
Bachmann went on to explain that God's special relationship with Israel means the US would be cursed if it were to oppose Israeli policies.
"We have to show that we are inextricably entwined, that as a nation we have been blessed because of our relationship with Israel, and if we reject Israel, then there is a curse that comes into play," Bachmann said.
The congresswoman's comments went under the radar until Andy Birkey reported on them at the Minnesota Independent.

This woman is a douche bag. I haven't believed in curses since I stopped believing in cooties. This woman needs to go to a place where they will cover the walls with pillows for her and give her a linen jacket that zips up the back. Why is it we don't require IQ tests for people in positions of power? Are we so desperate for amusement that we must find it everywhere? I'd much rather have an intelligent government that we can all agree on then elect some idiot for the sake of debate. People like this cunt make me want to hurt other people, and I'm not typically a violent person.
But now that I think of it whether or not curses exist, it may be productive to wish her harm... *evil laughter* - 2 years ago

Imagine if God (if he existed anyways) really is rooting for all the loons of the world.
Can you imagine a heaven comprised exclusively of people like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Caligula, Rush Limbaugh, Goldman Sach's CEO's, suicide bombers, Hitler, abortion doctor murderers, religious fundamentalists, mormons, scientologists, Sarah Palin, George W., Glenn Beck, Osama bin Laden, and Michelle Bachmann?

I fear we are about to see the God Myth make a strong and damaging surge in this country.
We make fun of these people but they are dangerous.
Fox has given them their long awaited soap box and now they are jockeying into a position of power.
I feel this is the beginning of a long pull BACKWARDS in our Nations collective conscience.How sick would it be if all of Obama's work actually succeeded in turning this country around over the next 4-6 years only to have the likes of Palin get elected and then take all the credit for it.
Much like The O Man getting all the blame for Bush's bullshit being laid at his feet.
This Country has been sick a very long time and it has NEVER wanted to take it's medicine.

IF the invisible man in the sky did nothing to stop 9/11 or all the other terrorist attacks on America, why would he suddenly care if America stopped supporting Israel? The whole logic is based on a fallacy, a lie, a myth. Why must humanity continue to be held hostage by the god myth.
People like Michelle Bachman should be locked up in a psychiatric ward. She is no different from Sarah Palin demanding the America pray for "divine intervention" to keep America secure. We all know the "invisible man" has done such a bang up job so far. (sarcasm)

Okay. Then to get closer to them lets allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military. Israel allows homosexuals to serve their country, they even celebrate them. If God loves Israel so much and hasn't turned his love away from them for treating their homosexuals no diffrent than their hetersexuals then the religious argument aginst it just got destroyed.

America's electorate is extremely tolerate of any crazy-ass Christian religious nonsense a politican spouts. Sarah Palin talked about witchcraft and Michele Bachman is talking about "curses" from an angry deity.
But if you admit you're an atheist you'll never get elected!
What a bizarre double-standard.
You can believe in demons, witchcraft and curses so long as their CHRISTIAN supernatural beliefs. Nothing wrong with believing in tax cuts for the rich or believing demons have possessed Americans. But to simply NOT BELIEVE in any supernatural powers...oh no!....no way yer gettin' my vote you fancy pancy elitist city slicker!

Does the Honorable Congresswoman from Minnesota truly believe that GOD will curse America if we oppose Israel in anyway? Pure insanity!
Middle East policy is taking on the hallmarks of the traditional Arabist school of thought that holds that strong U.S.-Israel ties hurt relations with the Arab states. This is evident, for example, by the Presidents determination to pick a fight with Israel over settlements, focus most of his attention on cultivating ties with the Arab states, and argue that it is necessary to resolve the Palestinian issue to get the Arab states to cooperate on the Iranian nuclear problem.
Over the last 60 years, U.S.-Israel relations have grown stronger in parallel with an improvement in U.S.-Arab ties, which one would think would have discredited the Arabist view. Nevertheless, the pull of the idea that all will be well if we would just abandon Israel has remained.
The State Department’s approach for the last six decades has been to seek a peace agreement between Israel and the Arabs based on the premises that the Arabs will not compromise and that the U.S. should use Israel’s dependency on American support as leverage to force it to make concessions demanded by the Arabs. The Director of the Office for Near Eastern Affairs in the Eisenhower Administration, G. Lewis Jones, put the department view succinctly in 1958: “These ideas are based on the assumption that Israel needs peace more than do the Arab states, and that it would be Israel, not the Arabs, who would have to make concessions in order to obtain this peace, given the present Arab determination not to come to a settlement with Israel.” Then, as now, Israel was reluctant to listen to American diplomats “on the grounds that this would indicate weakness and only serve to whet the appetite of the Arabs for more concessions.”
What makes the Arabist position so perfidious is the insistence on Israeli concessions knowing they will make no difference to the Arabs. As Jones admitted, “We have no assurance that the steps, if taken, would result in counter steps by the Arabs in the direction of better relations with Israel.”
An example of the absurdity of the State Department’s position occurred after the 1956 war when Saudi Arabia complained that Israeli ships were interfering with pilgrims to Mecca. It was a lie; nevertheless, Israel agreed to tie up its naval vessels to placate the Americans and Saudis, Still, the Arabists wanted the ships to be removed from the Gulf altogether. When the Israelis asked if complying with the American request would influence the Saudi king’s attitude, a State Department official candidly replied that he didn’t believe it would alter the Saudi position at all, but he still felt Israel should do it for the sake of regional stability. This was classic State Department logic: Israel must make concessions the diplomats know will not affect any change in Arab policies or opinions simply because the Arabs demand them.
More than 50 years later, the State Department policy is unchanged though it sometimes is now described as “realist” rather than Arabist. The belief remains that Israel must make concessions without any evidence the Arabs will reciprocate.
Meanwhile, Arab-Israeli peace is irrelevant to the Iranian nuclear issue. The Arab states know that solving the Palestinian issue will do nothing to prevent Iran from acquiring a bomb. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak exposed the fallacy of the Arabist policy when he told the Arab summit in March, “A nuclear armed Iran with hegemonic ambitions is the greatest threat to Arab nations today.” - 2 years ago

The scariest thing is that she has constituants that elect her. I have written letters to editors of newspapers in Minnesota about Bachman. She is a dangerous person as long as she holds office. She is the type of conservative and religious nutjob who would go to war based on lies. Oh shit, thats already happened with the last dangerously dumb person in the oval office GW Bush.

Bachman is stupid, but her stupidity lies more in the fact that she is articulating what the vast majority of Evangelicals in America actually believe, but are smart enough not to admit.
She has articulated the pathetic misconceptions and fears that drive US foreign policy when it comes to our inability to condemn the atrocities perpetrated by the nation of Israel.

It won't happen but I agree with ibrake. I hope Palin/Bachmann 2012 becomes a reality. It would be vastly entertaining. And if Armageddon is inevitable, I would like to go out laughing.
