I hope that may change your mind about "those people", so maybe you wont support the slaughtering of any more of them. Treat them like the human beings they are and not the animals our government tries to make them out to be. Respect them and their property rights.

Is this thread going to sink into posting ALL the "idiots' on the left and the crazy things they have done and continue to do?

I'll start. At least she isn't the Speaker of the House who said, We have to vote for it, to find out what is in it".

Your turn.

Maybe the 'intelligence' committee just needs a different name.

Charlie rangel headed the ways and means/ tax codes

Tim Geithner heads the treasury

and you have a problem with Bachman?

Well, it’s known that Huma’s father, Syed Z. Abedin, was a professor in Saudi Arabia who founded the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs, an organization supported by the Muslim World League, a Brotherhood organization. It’s also known that her mother, Saleha Mahmoud Abedin, is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, the Brotherhood’s adjunct organization for women. The Brotherhood itself is in its own words is dedicated to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that’s a security concern worth looking into. It is also very disconcerting that Mohammad Morsi and other members of his terrorist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, have been invited into the White House to make plans with the Obama administration. Obama called to congratulate Morsi on the terrorists organization’s victory in Egypt . Morsi’s campaign was “Jihad Is Our Path and Death in the name of Allah is our Goal!” Hmm…. Seems like that’s not so very good. Maybe we should be concerned. At least a little, eh?

It has been reported that Huma’s mother is a close, personal friend of the wife of Egypt’s new president – the head of the Muslim Brotherhood. There are also reports that Huma is a radicalized muslim – look it up & decide for yourself. There is a basis for Bachman’s concerns so don’t dismiss it until you also consider Maj. Nidal Hassan who was given a pass because of political correctness by liberals.

Aw geewhiz, that just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I mean it to. How could anyone think that
Amanutjob could be a saber ratteling despot with hostile intentions toward Israel & the west ? It's not like
he's some kind of fool that claims the "Holocaust" never happened, huh ?? You called him the arch enemy, &
I agree with that 100%.

Radical Islam is the foe of all people. I don't know who "those people" are. The truth is Ahmadinejad has had thousands killed in the popular uprisings in Iran itself. If the "those people" you are refering to are the palestinians, maybe the should practice what they preach. Blowing up tourist busses & kidnapping soldiers
generally won't endear you to the rest of world.

If Michelle wants to expose or question any form of radical Islam, in any way, shape or form, that's a good
thing. That's what we hired her to do. The dual citizen charge ? Thats absurd and petty to boot. Thats even
dumber than the BO birth certificate search.

People do this because politicians like Bachmann reinforce people's preexisting fears and prejudices. It's a problem is neither side has a monopoly on fear mongering idiots. The right has Bachmann, the left has Al Sharpton, both preach to an echo chamber that feeds off of their views.

She had the automatic right to Swiss citizenship but they had not registered their marriage with the Swiss authorities. That registration was a voluntary act by the Bachmanns.

"Congresswoman Bachmann's husband is of Swiss descent, so she has been eligible for dual-citizenship since they got married in 1978. However, recently some of their children wanted to exercise their eligibility for dual-citizenship so they went through the process as a family," said Bachmann spokesperson Becky Rogness.

Bachmann did not have to include herself in the process. Her eligibility was automatic but she did not have to exercise that. She chose to of her own free will just as, subsequently, she chose to give up her Swiss citizneship.

So it is quite wrong to suggest, as Bachmann did, that she had no choice in the matter.
