What to this reelected Congressperson is "anti-American" and "pro-American?"
Try out the above images, James Dobson from the web, preaching Bible in hand, Michele Bachman with James Dobson, Michele Bachmann with Shirley Dobson. The latter two photos taken from early in her political career were treasured enough by Congressperson Bachmann that she featured them in the past (before any mainstream aimed makeover attempts) on her website; and were retrieved from the WayBack Machine archive.
To guess at who Michele Bachmann is, you must look at who Michele Bachmann was. Try to convince me this individual has severed or lessened her ties to Dobson, and you will have a ton of convincing to do. Leopards do not change their spots.
So, Rev. Wright in his worldview and his notion of what Christ stands for or should mean in our present American nation, differs from the perspective James Dobson offers; and I guess that in the Bachmann mind, such as it is, makes Obama "anti-American" for ignorantly going to the wrong church. If any reader thinks I am being dismissive or simplistic about who Michele Bachmann still is and what her motivational makeup is, I welcome comments.
_______UPDATE________
More evidence of who Michele Bachmann still is - she was on the committee, the GOP 2008 party platform committee, and it produced this. Warmed-over, rehashed God, gays and guns leftovers from pre-Bush times, and we know where that led to. A national morass; in Iraq, at home. So Think. This is dangerous stuff where a candidate such as McCain lets this whacked-out divisive fringe wing of his party write what he is then campaigning on, or not, see, e.g., here. Don't let any secular focused tax-oriented new mantra fool you, Michele Bachmann stands rooted where she is and always has been. And we as a nation are above that kind of Dobsonian simple-mindedness; with the embryonic stem cell situation being only an example of Luddite orientation and a will to impose things on others that others might not want or value, and certainly might say government is apart from and should remain apart from.
That kind of dictatorial view of a governmental "value-setting" purpose and function represents a will toward coercion upon the freedom of others that I suggest is anti-American.
In short, we Americans getting along with other Americans, generally believe in live and let live. We don't interfere in one another's belief systems and concepts of Americanism. We are brighter and more tolerant than to do that. We honor the reproductive right to free and full spectrum decision making, and have no problem with the Palin couple's decision to bear to full term a Down Syndrome child. Likewise, we would never think to force such a thing on others not choosing that route. We honor lifestyle and reproductive choice, as part of freedom, and freedom is "pro-American," not "anti-American."
_______FURTHER UPDATE________
That GOP 2008 platform, online here, has this for its pdf version cover:
It makes me ask, whatever happened to the "Thousand Points of Light" slogan?
Given how the economy went splat all at one time and in so many ways, I suggest a new GOP slogan, "A Thousand Points of Plight." It is more fitting a slogan even in terms of GOP tactical mop-up planning.
