| Source:ZAPDOS- U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (Republican, Minnesota) perhaps talking about a Constitution that she personally wrote, but not the U.S. Constitution. |
"Michele Bachmann describes her explanation of the first amendment and freedom of religion using the founding fathers."

When Representative Ron Paul, or Gary Johnson or Senator Mike Lee, say and of course former President Ronald Reagan and former Senator Barry Goldwater (these are all Republicans, by the way) say they are anti-big government, I believe them and so should you. Because they know what individual liberty is all about: the liberty for free people to live their own individual lives, as long as they are not hurting anyone else with their liberty.

Every time I hear Representative Michele Bachmann or Senator Jim DiMint complain about the overreach of big government, or here them speak in favor of states rights, I gotta laugh. Because either they are lying, or they don't know what they are talking about, or don't completely understand what they are talking about. Which is pretty sad considering they are both members of Congress and pretty influential members of Congress, at least in the Republican Party.
The New-Right in America (or Far-Right) loves Big Government, they're just not aware of it. Sure, corporate taxes and regulations, taxes on the wealthy would be down (if not eliminated) under their watch. It's just that Uncle Sam and his army of nephews and nieces would move in to people's home to try to force every single American to live what they could call a Christian, moral life.
When it comes to individual liberty, as long as you're doing what the Christian-Right and approve of, you're OK. But when you don't, even if you're not hurting anyone with what you're doing, you got a major problem and could be found libel for a criminal offense.

That's not Barry Goldwater's, Ron Reagan's, Ron Paul's, Gary Johnson's, Mike Lee's and others definition of individual liberty. When someone tells you they are against big government, why don't you see if they understand what they are talking about. Because you may be surprised in what you find out.
It would a dereliction of duty if I didn't comment on what Representative Bachmann said calling Separation of Church and State a myth. Again, we're talking about a lawyer here who doesn't understand the First Amendment. Perhaps it didn't exist when she was in law school and she's come back in another life. Or they didn't teach her about the First Amendment in law school.

The U.S. Constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The two parts known as the establishment clause and free exercise clause. But at least she's qualified to run for President, even if she's not qualified for the job itself.
