is just one more agency that needs to be defunded and abolished. They have done nothing good for this country and everything they HAVE done has been deleterious and costly to no good end.
Close it and let the government workers taking up space there go out and get real jobs. |

Congresswoman, please do not rescend your comment about candidate Obama. The undertones of his words and his obvious poor judgement in chosing friends throughout his adult life and the almost total lack of scrutiny from We The People's press into just who he is shows a shaddowy side to all of this. By God speak the will of righteousness and do not cave to the pressure of political correctness. We as all civilizations prior are still faced with the enigma of searching for the truth, wanting to speak the truth and yet knowing that the one thing that will cause anger, discention, cost careers cause wars is for the Truth to be spoken istead of spoken only to allies while spoken part and parcel in public. Stand Up. Despotism calls. |
|
|
Why do you not stand up for your remarks? It is true. Truth does not have to be pc and you should be commended for having the courage to stand up for we Americans. Obama will tear this country apart before he's done. Mark my words. |

Do the EPA regulations Bachmann complains about follow the advice of qualified scientists, inside and outside the agency? If so, Bachmann need not worry too much about the agency enforcing them as long as Stephen Johnson is director. Rather than doing his job---i.e., enforcing the law in accordance with good science---he bows to the Bush White House's notorious ideologically driven anti-science agenda. The Congress should force him to resign.
And speaking of resignations, where is yours, Ms. Bachmann? After your disgusting "anti-America" comments last week, that is the appropriate path for you to take. An abject apology is also in order. |
|
Robyn says, "The EPA is just one more agency that needs to be defunded and abolished."
I suggest that Robyn spend a few weeks in a country where environmental regulations do not exist or are laxly enforced. Then come back and tell us why it is so much better to live in a place where people cough and wheeze from the bad air and have stomach cramps, thanks to pollutants in the water . Oh, I forgot. If clean air and water are really needed, the magical free market will automatically provide it. |
|
i am sorry ms. bachmann but you have proven yourself to be one of the most divisive persons in america.
your comments were insulting to millions and millions of americans.
it is one thing to vehemently disagree with someones political policies quite another to call them anti-american.
you should be ashamed |
|
Please tell me what is the difference between ACORN, EPA, Marxism/Socialism? All the them destroy freedom, all of them are publicly disguised to, "Be in the benefit of Americans."
All of the support the growth of a all controlling socialist government.
So how was your day. |

MATTHEWS: So you think Barack Obama may have anti-American views?
BACHMANN: Absolutely. I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views.
[...]
MATTHEWS: How many Congresspeople, members of Congress, are in that anti-American crowd you describe? How many Congresspeople that you serve with?
BACHMANN: Right now —
MATTHEWS: How many are anti-American in the Congress right now that you serve with?
BACHMANN: You’d have to ask them, Chris. I’m focusing on Barack Obama and the people that he’s been associated with and I’m very worried about their anti-American nature.
MATTHEWS: But do you suspect there are a lot of people you serve with — well, he’s the United States senator from Illinois, he’s one of the people you suspect as being anti-American. How many people in Congress of the United States do you believe are ant-American? Is he alone or are there others? How many do you suspect of your colleagues of being anti-American.
BACHMANN: What I would say what I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating exposé and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America? I think people would be — would love to see an expose like that.
10/21/08
Despite the way the blogs and the Democratic Party are spinning it, I never called all liberals anti-American, I never questioned Barack Obama’s patriotism, and I never asked for some House Un-American Activities Committee witch hunt into my colleagues in Congress.
What I did was ask legitimate questions that Minnesotans have been asking me: What does Barack Obama mean by change?

Michele Must Go
This should do it. Michele Bachmann’s latest words out of her mouth should push your decision over the edge to get her out. She has been nothing short of an embarrassment to the people of this district and this State.
It started right away with the mugging of the president to get a kiss. It continued with her claim of knowing about a secret military plot in the Middle East. Then there was the freedom of light bulb choice commentary. Now she continues with the claim that Barack Obama and other members of congress are “un-American.” Why?
Is it because they disagree with her point of view, the Republicans point of view, or the presidents? This is exactly why they are Americans and Patriots. They choose to exercise their rights to “respectfully” disagree with these people.
Michele Bachmann has been not only disrespectful of Obama, but to the citizens and voters of this country. When, by most polls, it shows that more citizens agree with Obama than disagree, she is calling a majority of this country’s Americans un-American as well.
How shameful. How disrespectful. How short-sighted. I urge citizens of this district to join me in saying enough embarrassment is enough. Michele Bachmann has got to go! Vote El Tinklenberg.
Robin Wood
Columbus
Google Michele
If you missed Chris Matthews’ interview Friday (MSNBC) with our incredibly out-of-control congresswoman, just google Michele Bachmann Minnesota and you’ll find a Chicago Sun Times transcript of the entire interview and the blogs that followed.
Observers elsewhere must wonder how a majority of Minnesotans in the Sixth Congressional District — that’s us! — ever could have chosen to send this irresponsible politician to Washington to represent us in making our laws and promoting our values.
We must not repeat the embarrassing mistake! Cast your vote for El Tinklenberg

I'm not ashamed to say it. America was founded by those who through off invasive National Government to live as free and moral men. The opportunities afforded by this philosophy have attracted wave upon wave of subsequent immigrants to form this great nation I now live in.
Trying to transform the United States into a Social Welfare State or a People's Republic is categorically "Un-American." William Ayres and Rev. Wright have committed Un-American acts and many of the Kool-Aid drinkers who act as apologists for them share in that transgression.
Take your National Socialism elsewhere! |

Promote maximum Freedom with the least amount of govt to maintain order. |

christianlib, Barak Obama hold the title for the "most divisive person in [A]america".
['America' should be capitalized - btw]
Michael I too can come up with a loony Democrat representative for every Republican - I'll start:
Maxine Waters.
Not to mention you have Al Franken running in MN.
If Republican even implied, racially, what Al Franken has been recorded to say about minorities they'd be burned at the stake.
You both should try not to be so blinded by party affiliation! |
|
Dear Congresswoman Bachmann,
You have disgraced your office and thus brought shame to your district once again. I will continue to contribute to your opponent and work dutifully to see that you are no longer in a position to influence policy. You are not fit to be a member of Congress in this, one of America's most dire times. |
|
|
If you oppose greenhouse gases then you must be anti-American. Therefore we need more greenhouse gases to tell our enemies what's what. So let's build more greenhouses. |
|
|
Michele, you spoke for millions of Americans during your interview with Chris Mathews. I applaud you, and pray that Republicans in your district will stand up and support your re-election bid. Bless your heart. I'm so sorry for the persecution you are having to endure. Keep your chin up. There are many of us who believe as you do. We are terribly afraid that Obama does not have America's best interest at heart. It took a brave person to do what you did. |
|
Good lord people... It's called Freedom of Speech!! There is nothing wrong with Michele stating her opinion! Quite frankly I do believe that he (the one, the messiah) might be harboring some ant-American views. Big govt is NOT an AMERICAN VIEW!! Govt health care is NOT A RIGHT! Show me where it is written in the Constitution that it is! Govt is not supposed to be a charity organization (although we are definitely excelling at that lately)! The stupidity of this little debate is astounding! With all the madness going on this is what gets your panties in a bind! SERIOUSLY!!???

Keep up the good work! It is seriously maddening that the GOP has the audacity to pull funding from you!! I will be sending a check in the future and I will be giving a call to the GOP leadership and give them a piece of my mind!! |

Interesting that Michelle would be so concerned with an issue affecting American farms. Maybe the Bachman family farm could use some of the $160,000 they have received in Federal subsides since 2001 to help create a solution. I do not think my push mower I use for my small yard would be affected that much, but if I owned 946 acres of land that I have to tame may effect me just a little more. Why have you not written more letters against this government intervention you claim to say has affected these farms sine the 1930's intervention yet you still accept the checks. If you were so confident in your words you would not accept those checks, and if your do you are just as guilty as the National Government in participating in the devastation you say has been imposed on Minnesotas agricultural communities. My final question is the farm owned by; "the Bachmann Farm Family LP", ” Bachman Farm Family,” or "members of the Bachmann family"? This and Paul Bachman are what the media need to investigate and uncover. We want to know. |

Seems to me the real problem here was a court that oversteps its authority. |

A Republican source confirmed Wednesday that the NRCC is pulling its funding out of the Sixth District race.
The ads were canceled Tuesday afternoon, after several days in which Bachmann was the subject of criticism for her televised remark on Friday that Obama "may have anti-American views." Her DFL opponent, Elwyn Tinklenberg, reports receiving $1.3 million in donations since Bachmann made the comment in response to a question from Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC's "Hardball."

Madam,
You should be ashamed of yourself. If you have any decency left you should resign. |
|
exactly. Like to see the DNC pull away from
their embarassing candidates. But they won't. Being somewhat crazy is encouraged by the DNC.
You know as well as I there'd be a policial witch-hunt by the press and "concerned Democrats" if the Republican's had loonies like Cynthia McKinny, Maxine Waters, and candidates like Al Franken. (for heaven's sake Al Franken is recorded using the "n" word as much as the press played George Allen's "mecaca" tape!)
In the context of all the political fodder in a campaign, I don't think she stepped that far out of bounds. Heck, Matthews has said worse on his show about other politicians.
I guess the RNC is taking some accountability. Too bad they'll lose another district.
Now, back to the topic: EPA. Do you agree or disagree with Rep. Bachmann's article?
|
|
I disagree with her more than I agree
EPA goes overboard sometimes but if we didn't have agencies like them our country would be more polluted than it is already.
DDT and mercury come to mind; if corporate America isn't looked at they will take the cheapest route available and that isn't usually good for the environment.
Most every regulation that has benefited the environment has been initially opposed by big business. Many of those regulations in the long haul have been proved to be right. |
|
This is exactly one of my worst fears. Government approved and controlled energy would mean complete control over business and our lives. But Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama would neeeeever want that to happen, would they?
So how about those new cars for serfs?

Michele,
Anyone who is keeping up with the story KNOWS that when Obama talks about change, he means radical leftist change. Myself and millions of other Americans call that kind of change UN-American. Your words need no correction. The vitriol expressed on this blog is evidence of a class of persons who do not understand the value of dialogue and expressing one's opinion.
Hang in there, we need you standing up for those of us who believe as you do, and we need open dialogue.
Sincerely.
|
|

I am not from your state, I am from Illinois. I seen you on Bill O'reilly and I was impressed with your honestly. The more I have hear about Obama the more I felt that his associations were very questionable and anti-american. I stand behind you and please do not give in to bullies. Please fight back proud and give them all you have. You have a big fan club. I admire your honestly and your judgement. Keep the good work up and Acorn needs to be wiped out. |

Each state has it's own EPA.
What happens is that the big companies by favor with the federal one, generally in a manner that places a competitor in a predicament.
The blades of grass count isn't far fetched however when you consider how far they do go sometimes in keeping things we need from happening.
On one hand progressives want new fuel celled cars, on the other they want them built without the various chemistry needed to make them due to some insect, germ or other parasite, much like the left, which they feel is necessary for preservation of some eco system.
What hasn't crossed anyone's mind is that extinction is a part of the cycle, the extinct evidence this. Denial of extinction is the best way to interfere with the nature of eco systems.
Sure abusers are out there, like in anything, and they should be punished for their nusance with criminality, not subject the rest of us to the EPA seeking what power grabs it can due to a favorable political climate.
I am sure one day the environmentalists will claim a means to keep the sun burning at a particular temperature, as though man is so powerful he can stop a star from burning out. Reality is that such, as with the EPA or any government agency/undertaking, is a fraud and a sham to exercise what Madison warned "the old trick of turning every contingency into a resource for accumulating force in the government."

Thank you for posting this article, government oversight is best done by the Governed.
I hope the GOP finds its way to wisdom in regard to your campaign.
Those who disagree, oh well, jealousy will do that.
It's funny though since the producers who are meant to be the subject of taxation to "spread the wealth around" should be earning greater respect. Government acting in a Robin Hood fashion isn't the only reason the giving occurs, for there is nothing to give if nothing is produced.
I will say it's going to be fascinating to see the prices on things go up in relation to the tax imposed, and of course it will be an offset of increase to more than accommodate for the new tax burden.
Between this and 40% more people filing to get their "$1,000 tax credit check" which costs around 400 dollars for the government to issue, this is going to be one hell of a show if Obama wins.
And we thought they laughed at Bush, then again this explains the entertainment industry's support for Obama, a man who can't even read a GAO report accurately. I mean, anyone who confuses "revenues" with a "budget surplus" clearly has no idea of anything in economics, at least that I can trust.
But what more can we expect from someone who is hiding their medical records and proof they were born in the United States of America, only to offer up more than one fraudulent digitally created "Certification of Live Birth" as though we in the computer age won't examine the evidence.
But I have to hand it to them, they've certainly achieved control over the mentally weak. Vengeance for slavery by role reversal appears the agenda of the liberal day. I don't see how that brings an end to any of it, racial divides, class warfare, and the like.
But once the wealthy have left America in the droves they are preparing for, at least that much of the war over jealousy will be over, though then who'll he tax? Hmmm... |
|
It's a sad time when speaking the truth gets you blasted by the left-stream media and all the usefull idoits of the left.
You can deny it all you want, but that won't change the fact that Obama is indeed anti-American and unqualified to be President.
Take a little effort and educate yourself. Read Thomas Paine (the atheist), Thomas Jefferson, Adam Smith, John Locke, George Washington, The Federalist Papers. See what America is REALLY about. Then look at Obama. Observe how his policies line up with the Communist Party USA's platform. See how far away he is from 1776, the Declaration of Independence, Patrick Henry's "give me liberty, or give me death."
There's no question about it. Obama is anti-American. The only way you can deny it is to redefine what it means to be American, which is what the left is actively doing.

The new environmental rules are pure, unadulterated tyranny. But the tyranny will not even be homegrown.
I believe that the Carbon Disclosure Project (run by 385 institutional investors w/a combined asset base of 57 trillion dollars)
and the ICLEI (a 450 memeber int'l association of governments "interested in sustainable development") is already set up to mandate carbon control over every city in the world.
My own town, small as it is, has accepted funding from these organizations. "In the near future, every city in every nation will be taking steps to reduce carbon emissions."
"'Rather than wait until it is mandatory, [we] choose to do it now with funding being provided from sources as distant as London,' [the city administrator] added."
Our local government, with foreign funding, has benevolently decided to prepare us for "a carbon constrained world." |
|
In short, I think there is a move for internat'l control over city governments, using carbon emissions as the excuse (CDP).
PS. One stated goal of ICLEI is strict gov't control of water.

I see Bachmann's jackboots have been through here and taken out most of the comments calling the Congressperson an idiot, a hate monger, a fascist, a lunatic, a paranoid schizophrenic, etc.
Nice try, dimwit. You are going to LOSE this election precisely because of your rabid psycho rant on Hardball.
And GOOD RIDDANCE, F*ckwit. |

I have been following politics for decades. I have never, ever been more disgusted by a politician as I am with this creature Bachmann.
Fortunately her time of being a politician is almost over. She, along with the rest of the fascist right wing is about to be unceremoniously dumped into the fetid trash can of history where she belongs.
Utterly disgusting, a stain on America.
And every one of you cretins who support her go against everything this great country stands for.
I am ashamed of you. America is ashamed of you. The world is disgusted by you.
Goodbye and good riddance, trash. |
|
You are a true represetative of the people..and You are right-on regarding the unconstitutional "EPA Nazis". Obviously, the epa is an extension of the rabid Environmentalist Whacko totalitarian movement.. A slimey green pox on them all.. |
|
The hits on Youtube of Bachmann's invective have reinforced for many moderates the worst impressions of ultra conservatives.
Her opponent should send her flowers with some of the million plus he's garnered in the last few days. |

You are one tough lady. And we support you! |

Now it's off to Hawaii with her for 3 days! Bad! |

"The essential principles of our Government... form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to REGAIN THE ROAD WHICH ALONE LEADS TO PEACE, LIBERTY, AND SAFETY." --1st Inaugural Address, 1801. Thomas Jefferson
"Regain the Road which leads to peace, liberty, and safety". Sounds like what Obama wants, yet some think he's anti-American for this. Was Thomas Jefferson anti-american?

kbTexan-
Maybe your right about these historic leaders, back in their days women were not allowed to be able to have custody of their children, hold property, make contracts, keep their own earnings and inheritance, and sue in court. George Washington owned many slaves and thought it should stay that way, yet his theory was opposed by Thomas Paine. Divorce could be considered adultery punishable by death. Many people disagreed with these men that are our country's founding fathers and considered them unqualified also. But they CHANGED things to make this country grow. For one the "Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo-1845" The treaty allowed the U.S. to purchase California and other areas from Mexico on the condition that Americans would honor Mexican culture and values. Does Texas and these other states still honor these cultures? |
