To another Minnesota girl: Michelle Bachmann

[MrZombieIsHungry]

Honestly not sure why you spend your time talking like a 5 year old in your video here but let's get past that and to the point. The good old USA as a nation trying to take God out of everything from school prayer, to what marriage should truly represent between one man and one woman, the list goes on. It's exactly the very reason that this nation is headed down the drain at a rapid rate. Nobody except Michelle Bachmann has the guts anymore to stand up for truth even when unpopular.

[YY4Me133]

@MrZombieIsHungry Read the U.S. Constitution, and Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists (the "wall of separation" letter). The U.S. was created to be a secular nation, with separation of church and state: the government must remain neutral with respect to religion. According to your bible, Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:3). Abraham married his half-sister (Gen. 20:11-12), but at least it was one man and one woman, huh?

[connerjd]

You are one of the few christians who know what the Treaty of Tripoli is.

[abbynormal0ne]

@connerjd I'm a studier of history and politics :)

[connerjd]

@abbynormal0ne It certainly shows.

[connerjd]

I don't watch much TV. TV is mostly garbage.

[proximoto]

yah youbetcha! michele scares me

[abbynormal0ne]

@proximoto She should. She scares me too.

[proximoto]

@abbynormal0ne we vote weird up here

[connerjd]

I don't mind people being close to God. As long as people don't kill in the name of God.

[abbynormal0ne]

@connerjd Or use legislation to kill people's rights.....

[connerjd]

@abbynormal0ne Come to think of it. Sometimes that is worse.

[abbynormal0ne]

@connerjd My thoughts exactly.

[connerjd]

@abbynormal0ne Just curious. What denomination are you? If any?

[abbynormal0ne]

@connerjd Lutheran.

[connerjd]

@abbynormal0ne Was you raised in that belief?

[abbynormal0ne]

@connerjd Yup. I grew up right across the street from the church.

[connerjd]

@abbynormal0ne Most of the Luthernas that I know tend to be more liberal in their religious beliefs.

[abbynormal0ne]

@connerjd It really depends what section of the Lutheran church they come from. Some are much more ridged than others.

[connerjd]

@abbynormal0ne More or less, it is that way with every church and ecery religion.

[petehjr1]

If you haven't seen Sara Benincasa's videos as Michele Bachman you haven't lived. They are Hillarious.

[pcreator]

Michele Bachmann has my vote and financial support, and I'm a Catholic.

[abbynormal0ne]

@pcreator Ok.

[Teri0is0Resa]

From yet another Minnesota girl to another, thank you! I've been thinking this about several politicians I've been watching lately. I hate mixing politics and religion.

[abbynormal0ne]

@Teri0is0Resa It's despicable and a cheap way to get votes.

[garyquinn1704]

I can never get my head around the religion obsession in your politics. You've lived here, you've seen how it is of absolutely no consequence yet in your elections a candidate can beat themselves just by saying "I don't believe in god."

I also find it very hard to believe that Pres. Obama is religious (I don't know why) but he has to play the game, give lip service etc.

[abbynormal0ne]

@garyquinn1704 I don't really like that religion *is* in politics, nor do I think it *should* be as much as you can remove someone from their own philosophical ideas. It shouldn't be an impetus to a campaign.

[Eopyk]

Great video Abby :)

All love from me Jasmine

[abbynormal0ne]

@Eopyk Thanks, hon :)

[Eldrave20]

aaaahaaat-LAAsssst. Maihluuuuv, has come along! (and I'm not just talking 'bout the beer I just drank. Although that 'might' have something to do with this message).

Love the accent, AND the sarcasm. very much well recieved.

[abbynormal0ne]

@Eldrave20 Ahahhahaa, thank you. I hope you have a great night.

[connerjd]

I believe that Jesus would agree with you Abby.

[abbynormal0ne]

@TimTheObserver While MN is traditionally a blue state, some conservatives slip through.

[abbynormal0ne]

@ItsTheSuperFly Abso-freaking-lutely agree.

[abbynormal0ne]

@OldSchoolSkill I certainly wish some of the fundamentalists would read that....

[abbynormal0ne]

@TheCommonManUSA I don't think she even knows where or what Tripoli is. I don't think she really knows much about the founding fathers, what they wanted, or even who they were. She likes to use them as props rather than as actual people or thinkers.

[connerjd]

It does make me angry when people say that this is a christian nation. Well, as far as the government.

[abbynormal0ne]

@connerjd Heck yeah!

[GodlessManitoban]

Luke I am your fodder.

[abbynormal0ne]

@GodlessManitoban :P

[GodlessManitoban]

@abbynormal0ne

<33

[egeswender]

went to a lutheran school, used to be lutheran, shook that crazy off.

[abbynormal0ne]

@egeswender I'm still crazy. 

[ChunxOfEarth]

I wuv you, Abz! You are the best.

[abbynormal0ne]

@ChunxOfEarth Lol, thanks.

[prodigyat9]

I named one of my cats after a very dear friend who was hit by a car and killed while he was still a perfectly healthy person. He was a Lutheran pastor and a Harvard graduate and never pushed his religious beliefs on anyone. As far as I know one of his best friends was also a Lutheran pastor as well as a gay man whose partner was also a pastor as I remember so I would have to conclude that generally speaking Lutherans are less uptight that catholics and fundamental christians.

[prodigyat9]

@prodigyat9

Darnit! I forgot to add he was from Minnesota!

[abbynormal0ne]

@prodigyat9 It really depends which flavour of Lutheran. There are much, much more fundamentalist synods than the one to which I belong. 

[finderfinder100]

Bachmann most likely wouldn't hear a sound message like yours over all the voices in her head that seem to be yelling at the same time.

[abbynormal0ne]

@finderfinder100 I don't think she listens to much of anyone including the clear questions she gets from the moderators at debates

[finderfinder100]

@abbynormal0ne So true--We know she doesn't listen to her handlers. I think also half the time she doesn't know where is she is. Which has let to some great screw ups in her stump speeches.

[abbynormal0ne]

@finderfinder100 I think she is easily confused or she just is the worst listener on the face of the planet, not a good quality in a leader, really.

[finderfinder100]

@abbynormal0ne I don't want her any where near the red button

[bluetoebeing]

so great.

[abbynormal0ne]

@bluetoebeing Lol, thanks.

[abbynormal0ne]

@bluetoebeing Lol, thanks.

[secretsareboring]

Most Lutherans in Oz are only Lutheran because they send their kids to private Lutheran schools. Jesus just gets wheeled out when it suits their needs. Maybe that's what Michelle is doing. She needs a "cause" to polarise her audience and be popular, so she drops the "J-bomb". Which is sad, because if Jesus thought his name would become a bomb, I don't think he would have kept himself on that cross. Not that I think he ever existed, but ya-know...

[abbynormal0ne]

@secretsareboring I'm a Lutheran.

[secretsareboring]

@abbynormal0ne I went to a Lutheran school :-/

[MistressArte]

Aren't Lutherans suppose to be more liberal? o.O At least the ones that I knew were, that or they were Lutheran like some people are Christian. (Yes in theory but not really. XD) Also fuck your accent is cute ^___^

[abbynormal0ne]

@MistressArte Nah, there can be ultraconservative Lutherans too. It's really not tied to politics...nor should it be :)

[vechorik]

You're the Constatutionalist? I'll take Ron Paul, thank you. He has years of experience dealing with Washington and actually knows foreign policy.

Google “Are Evangelical Christians Warmongers” by Pastor Chuck Baldwin about Israel and America’s undeclared wars and how the government uses fear to manipulate Americans (like Bachmann).

Wake up, America!

[abbynormal0ne]

@vechorik Ron Paul may have years of experience dealing with Washington, but I'd rather not throw my support behind a candidate like him. He does not believe in separation of church and state, the validity of evolution, wants to get rid of the EPA and dept of education in favour of private companies, and who has made incredibly racist remarks.

[vechorik]

I like how Ron Paul doesn't participate in class warfare. What's good for America is good for blacks.

"Thy BlackMan.com" compares Cain to Paul and chooses Paul!

Google "Ron Paul & Herman Cain's Different Philosophies" by Staff

Re: Israel, Google "Are Evangelical Christians Warmongers" by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

[vechorik]

Ron Paul is a Christian who definitely believes in separation of church and state. As far as the Dept. of Education being abolished, the states did a much better job of educating children. As far as the EPA, they are issuing mandates to kill business. Business should be held accountable for pollution by the LEGAL system. Any part of government that can be run more cheaply by a private company -- should be done so.

[abbynormal0ne]

@vechorik Paul does not believe in the separation of church and state watch?v=NyfnHOPAhHo

States doing a better job? According to his own website, he says he would like more homeschooling. That requires more burden on the people with children including the ones who do not have the means for home schooling and private schools. That would mean fewer children with any education. Yes, the department of education isn't doing a good job *now* but it used to.

[abbynormal0ne]

@vechorik The reason we have these laws are because the companies *weren't* doing their parts to protect the environment. The reason the EPA is there is to keep the businesses in check. There are ways to make it more efficient, but doing away with it altogether is a massive folly.

[battlestarnomore]

You should run for President.

[secretsareboring]

@battlestarnomore Abby could be the singing president. :)

[abbynormal0ne]

@secretsareboring Lol, I'd be the worst president ever.

[abbynormal0ne]

@battlestarnomore Haha, no way.

[SBRslacker00]

Great accent, but it sounds like Sarah Palin! ;)

[abbynormal0ne]

@SBRslacker00 She ripped off the Minnesotan accent.

[TheIrishlonewolf]

wait... people actually watch c-span? :P

[prodigyat9]

@TheIrishlonewolf

C-SPAN is the best if you want information without the network or presenter's opinions.

[abbynormal0ne]

@TheIrishlonewolf Lol, occasionally I do when there's something interesting going on. I admit, however, those occasions are exceedingly rare.

[Curas1]

I stil laugh picturing Bachman and Palin riding through texas on Harleys !

Throw in some kid rock music, a tea party possie parade and the madness of the swarming press, the horde of security and religious people losing their mind thinking it's the second coming and it should all happen on the forth of july!

YE HAW!

[abbynormal0ne]

@Curas1 Ooft, why ever would they do that? Bleh, hahaha.

[Curas1]

@abbynormal0ne

Conservative personalities are hilarious to me in a Jibjab kind of way but their obviously nuts.

Liberals are much more boring, eh I'd rather have the crazy where you can see it.

I mean could ya just see us closing out the second term of a Kerry/Edwards ticket ?!? Ah ah Nooanoo!!(comic book guy voice) I think not.

[abbynormal0ne]

@Curas1 I'd rather not have crazy in charge!

[phenixwryter]

Minnesota-such a cool word and name. Wise words in a cute accent. : )

I know what its like to have some religious folks in one's home state constantly messing around with this sort of issue. I wish that she, and others like her, would take a step back from fishing with dynamite and listen to your good advice.

[abbynormal0ne]

@phenixwryter Not a lot of politicians like to step back and really examine what they say. Too megalomaniacal.

[gothatfunk]

i wish more people of faith said the same to these candidates.

[abbynormal0ne]

@gothatfunk Unfortunately, the wacko always seems to rise to the top. I'd like to just skim it off and churn them into butter.

I don't think that sounded right....

[StanMarsh1]

The Minnesota accent sounds rather, um, simple.

[abbynormal0ne]

@StanMarsh1 Yes, well, you should hear it in person :P

[Meiklelodians]

I like it when you go a little crazy ;)

[abbynormal0ne]

@Meiklelodians Are you saying I should visit the cuckoo side more often?

[Pineverends]

There's a very good video which comes up in the related videos list;

"Bachmann - Separation of church and state a myth" by ConvertSation.

[abbynormal0ne]

@Pineverends Oh.....my lord! Really? That's hilarious.

[Jimb0can]

Isn't there a verse where you should pray in private or something? Michelle should know about that.

[RuinSonic]

@Jimb0can Lol, I think we need to turn our Bibles to Matthew 6... I think Jesus had something to say about showing of your religious fervor. I'm not calling anyone a pharisee, but sometimes there's just a lot of correlations.

[abbynormal0ne]

@Jimb0can Yes, @RuinSonic has it right. It's Matthew 6:6

[HisagiShuhei]

I won't judge you for a dumb Bachman.

[abbynormal0ne]

@HisagiShuhei Thank you very much. :)

[HisagiShuhei]

@abbynormal0ne Np! Minnesota has abbynormal therefore it's the best state.

[PJsCreed]

I love the irony that during the 1960 Presidential campaign, Nixon and the Republicans were using religion against John Kennedy saying that he would put his Catholicism before the country.

[abbynormal0ne]

@PJsCreed Yes, well, didn't you know that Catholics only answer to the Pope? It's not like...oh, I don't know...a woman running for president who says that she asked her husband's permission to go to law school and says that he makes all the decisions? Maybe that's a little bit sexist to say....

[PJsCreed]

@abbynormal0ne In that case, will you marry me? I need someone to paint my house. :P

[abbynormal0ne]

@PJsCreed But the paint would simply *ruin* my nails. :P

[TheBadcop69]

thumbs up for the Minnesota accent!

[abbynormal0ne]

@TheBadcop69 Oh, gosh, you actually like my native tongue? Lol, thanks.

[abbynormal0ne]

@TheBadcop69 Lol, thanks.

[Texemosis]

lol Bachmann is a crazy one. She became a tax lawyer only because her husband told her to do it.

[abbynormal0ne]

@Texemosis Exactly! When people call her on this, they're called sexist!

[anthonyalarson]

haha "like" this abby person :)

well said Ms. well said.

[abbynormal0ne]

@anthonyalarson Haha, thanks.

[nishbrown]

I just sent this to my mom.

;^)

Thanks, Abs.

[abbynormal0ne]

@nishbrown Oh, golly, I hope she liked it.

[nishbrown]

@abbynormal0ne

I hope she understands it.

;-)

[fruitikay]

Lol agreed. 

[abbynormal0ne]

@fruitikay ^_^

[Anghellik9]

Finally got an accent out of you!

[abbynormal0ne]

@Anghellik9 Lol, I'm full of accents. I'm just too embarrassed to put them all on video.

[Ujames1978]

Dear Abby,

Two words for many Michelle, many similar politicians and the Christians who vote for them... "Establishment Clause!!!"

By the way I'm sorry to hear that you're not in Scotland anymore. Did it just not work out? :-(

Britain has felt quite cold and empty lately, and now I know why. <3

[abbynormal0ne]

@Ujames1978 I wish I could be in Scotland too. I simply ran out of money. It stinks being completely broke.

[DaHonestAbe]

Fellow Minnesotan here! Little Canada baby!!!!!

[abbynormal0ne]

@DaHonestAbe Heck yes :)

[FangoFan68]

Cute video Abby, and i do not hold that against you michele bachmann do not worry :D

[abbynormal0ne]

@FangoFan68 Thanks very much on both counts.

[Templehatchet]

Good vid even though it is a little late.

[abbynormal0ne]

@Templehatchet Late because she probably won't get the nod? Probably. I made fun of her in other videos though :)

[achtungcircus]

Thank you for the warning. I won't move to Minnesota. I'd kill someone in the first week if I had to listen to that accent all day.

[abbynormal0ne]

@achtungcircus Lol, not all of them are this bad...some are worse!

[Xicuzab]

I want to hug your voice. This voice is awesome. 

[abbynormal0ne]

@Xicuzab Lol, thanks. My voice would love a hug ;)

[lazygorillas]

hahaah love the Minnesota accent

[abbynormal0ne]

@lazygorillas Lol, thanks.

[ThePariahLivesOn]

My opinion is you need to get back to Grand Britania

ASAP

[abbynormal0ne]

@ThePariahLivesOn I wholeheartedly agree.

[CountHektor]

America for Americans!

[abbynormal0ne]

@CountHektor She is an American, unfortunately.

[DamnedIntrovert]

Gad?! Gad, is in charge now?! The first son of Jacob & Zilpah from the Book of Genesis?! That's 'lucky' for him, how 'fortunate'!!.. How did that come about?! (yay! I made 2 biblical reference jokes within the space of one sentence.. woohooo!!) :) haha

[ThePariahLivesOn]

@DamnedIntrovert That take effort & dedication, I salute you

[abbynormal0ne]

@DamnedIntrovert Woo!

[LatumWay]

Oh you :D

[abbynormal0ne]

@LatumWay Aw, shucks.

[Samakain]

Good point, but whenever you put on the accent i get scared o.O

[abbynormal0ne]

@Samakain Ooga-booga

[Afriboy10]

I think a lot of Americans need to read the First Amendment again and again until it sinks in that the government is not there to endorse any particular religion.

[abbynormal0ne]

@Afriboy10 A lot of Americans don't read much ;)

[TheMudbrooker]

Ja, you folks on d'udder side the crick dere shur do talk funny. :)

[abbynormal0ne]

@TheMudbrooker Lol, we surrrrrrre do :)

[whedonfreak976]

God does not belong in politics, money and corruption, it makes god look bad, so thanks Michele Bachmann. She makes good christians like you and i look bad. Sigh.

[abbynormal0ne]

@whedonfreak976 I agree.

[tattooskin72]

I do find myself wondering what happened to Michelle.... 

[abbynormal0ne]

@tattooskin72 She got a law degree from a christian college because her husband said she could, and now she's running for president and failing. Makes me sad to call myself minnesotan.
