Our overseas cousins may not realize that Michelle Bachmann, while less of a publicity hound, is farther right and somewhat less clever than Sarah Palin.

For example, Bachmann warned her constituents in 2010 not to answer questions on their census forms because the Socialists of Obama's Big Government could use that information against them, particularly
if they were gun owners.

When Bachmann was told that advising people to throw away their census forms was technically urging them to commit a felony, she told them instead just not to list their phone numbers (which was optional). That way Obama's thugs can't call them on the phone.

She also made a speech to a Tea Party gathering in which she praised the Founding Fathers for making sure that the Constitution prohibited slavery. There was applause, because the Tea Party is anti-slavery.

So stay tuned.

I try to laugh but mostly I want to cry. It is so very sad that in the 21st century there are those still living in the dark ages. They will be the death of us all.

IF SARAH PALIN RAN THE HISTORY CHANNEL

Sarah Palin or someone equally erudite DOES run the History[sic] Channel which, under existing "truth in advertising" statutes, should bill itself as the Fairytale Channel, the Myth Channel, the BS Channel, or possibly all three.

No real, actual historical fact need apply; the nonsense is so much more popular.

My favorite was when the Vikings brought the Holy Grail to America. They'd gotten it from the Knights Templar.

You gotta admit she's got more people aware of Longfellow, and quoting him than anyone in the last 60 years.

I wonder if she could do the same with John Greenleaf Whittier and Barbara Freitchie.

Like Patrick Henry said, "Give me my good old American guns or give me death".

The far left has this strange obsession with Sarah Palin. If they were half as objective with Barack Oblabbo, they'd be hitting the ceiling, with what a phony he is!

"The far left has this strange obsession with Sarah Palin."

*grin*...It seems almost everyone is fascinated with her ability to keep milking the system without DOING anything relevant or KNOWING anything useful.

As for Obama... you toss out appellations like 'phony' with no explanation or evidence. Just labeling him proves nothing. He is intelligent, educated, dedicated and hard working and keeps getting stuff done despite rabid, frothing attempts to interfere by right-wing slogan-flingers. I'd hate to see ANY of the potential Republican candidates try to deal with current problems.

He seems a lot more intelligent than Bush but I thought he was going to be refreshingly different in some way. As a Uker with no republican / democrat allegiance to make up my mind whether I should hate him or love him, he seems like just another American president to me.

At last, you have said 'they' are objective. You just said she's a phony. Good for you. The first of 12 steps. -;

I was trying to do a wink there. Can't be arsed to do it 'til I get it right.
