Bachmann to join Gingrich at Minnesota Family Council event

how about my freedom from NOT being indoctrinated by their religion!

I do NOT support their religion. I NOT believe what they Believe.

Keep your personal special interest group agenda out of my back yard!

re: marie. if you don’t agree with what they stand for, your are free not to buy a ticket.

@John, I wont be buying a ticket.

But I will not be FREE as long as the religious right extremist try’s to make law.

So I looked up Minnesota Family council and the whole front page is about banning gay marraige.

Well if you are not about equal rights then I am not on your side.

I am not superstitious and certainly will not buy a ticket.

Superstition has been holding back progress for centuries and here they are at it again. The sun revolves around us, the earth is flat, you are a witch so we have to kill you.

Last Pres elections was the repubs will save us against the Taliban if they are in charge. Now its a magic dude thats all around us but nobody sees. But its a miracle I tell you. No it is’nt. 6billion people on the planet doing a 1000 things a day something weird is going to happen.

Religion was in charge for welll over 1000 years. Its called the dark ages.

@Paul V, Their site, their organization, their special interest group has a mission statement of this.

Our mission is “to strengthen the families of Minnesota by advancing biblical principles in the public arena.”

indoctrination is oppression.

I do not want you to come near my family with your biblical views.

Maybe a big sink hole will open up during the event and swallow them all up. If this happened I know that I’d become religious real quick.

the You, was a direct YOU to the religious right. I am american, I am a voter, I am NOT a christian. Not even a person who says I view the bible differently.

Do NOT make any law that represents your personal religion.

Hilarious. Newt Gingrich is the MFC’s point person on promoting “traditional” marriage. Next I suppose Bristol Palin will promote sexual abstinence and Clarence Thomas will denounce affirmative action. No wait…

Praise Jebus, God hates honesty, Amen.

Gingrich? Values? You’ve got to be kidding.

Maybe we can get some Arizona politicians up here to close our borders for a week and keep these hater hypocrites out.

“There is no attack on American culture more deadly and more historically dishonest than the secular effort to drive God out of America’s public life,” says Gingrich.

To understand a card like Gingrich you have to have a few time-tested and research-validated descriptions of ‘conservative’ under your belt.

If the typical conservative were a car, its engine would be made of fear:

Conservative psychology is associated with (don’t take my word for it, do some google scholar searches yourself): conformism, strong in-group identification, conventionalism, hierarchically ordered authority, intolerance for minorities, lower scores on measures both of creativity and openness to new experience, and in at least two studies of which I’m aware, lower IQ.

It’s built into the conservative brain to fear difference and change. This is why you seem them continually finding perceived new threats to everything they hold dear, regardless of the empirical reality. If you’re not like them, you must be out to get them. Wind back the historical clock and you’ll see this conservative psychology at work decade after decade. Once it was the threat of Jews. Blacks demanding civil rights were a grave threat. Feminists were going to destroy the family and society. Liberals and intellectuals were dangerous subversives. Gays and lesbians wanting to get married are believed to be an “attack” on heterosexual marriage.

And now, as if on some kind of primal clock doing the bidding of the reptilian brain, Gingrich has identified a new threat: atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and believers in a secular republic. Go back into the conservative circus tent and dust off the old signs and flashing lights used for the last thing the conservatives feared. Replace the words Jew or black or feminist, etc., with ‘secular’, and you’re good for another reprise of the whole fear-based, anti-intellectual sideshow.

Gingrich is in clown-face hawking tickets to the next act. Wanna buy?

Has the MFC lost their mind? Having Newt Gingrich as their champion of Family Values is akin to O.J. Simpson speaking out on the virtues of Motherhood.

“Our mission is “to strengthen the families of Minnesota by advancing biblical principles in the public arena”

Hmmm, how exactly does that serial adulter, Newt Gingrich, fit in this equation? Will the MFC make him wear a scarlet “A” on his chest when he appears before them?

I wonder if the MFC even knows which of the Ten Commandments Newt has stepped all over?

In Iowa this group has been merged into a larger one headed by Bob Vander Plaats and referred to as the Family Leader. It used to be that that title was given either to Charles Manson or a mafia don but Vander Plaats has found a new way to give it even more shame. Newt contributed a lot of funds in the campaign led by this group against judges in Iowa and Bachmann has been in front of the group more than once.

I was married to a woman for 19 years. Although I have two wonderful sons, the marriage was doomed for failure. I am now engaged to a TS/Transexual of whom I call my one true Soulmate. I reject any attempt by outside forces to prevent me from living my Truth and choices. My life is sealed, signed and delivered from within my own heart. I did buy a ticket to this event and am eager to attend and speak my voice. Isn’t America about cherishing the First Amendment? It is ironic the same Amendment talks about the separation of church and state while supporting individuals to voice their truths. The MN Family Council is perpetuating a long standing bond between Christianity and the United States Government which is in direct violation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. I stand for every human being. I encourage every human being to focus on themselves and cease terrorizing their fellow human beings.
