Rep. Michele Bachmann declares that we are in the End Times: 'His day is at hand.'
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/10/08/1245335/-Rep-Michele-Bachmann-declares-that-we-are-in-the-End-Times-His-day-is-at-hand?detail=facebookThere is a new conspiracy theory circulating among the far-right proclaiming that the President of the United States is secretly arming al-Qaeda-linked terrorists in Syria. The precise reasoning by this theory is, as usual, a bit vague, but seems to have something to do with the presumption of all far-right conservatives that all brown people everywhere are secret members of al Qaeda, and that Barack Obama is secretly a Muslim and therefore secretly a member of al Qaeda, and all those drones killing people across the world for so much as drawing "I heart al Qaeda" on napkin is a false flag to distract us all from how the President of the United States secretly wants the terrorists to win. It may also be a delayed reaction to John McCain going to Syria and demanding in very stern tones that we give people he barely knew those very weapons, or a general confusion as to which of the twenty or so existing far-right gun conspiracy theories ought to be linked to brown people at any given time, oryou know what, parsing this out is impossible. Suffice it to say that they now believe Barack Obama is funneling arms to al Qaeda because of fucking course they do.
Leave it to Michele Bachmann, who I will remind all of America is still an actual member of Congress and not a crazy person with twenty cats who calls C-SPAN every evening to inform the hosts as to what legislative ideas her cats have given her today, to take this new theory to its only logical conclusion: the End Times are upon us.

Maybe she isn't shooting for a Fox gig after all. Maybe she's going for the 700 Club.

and then paint the entire GOP congressional delegation with her and Gohmert and Cruz. I would actually run ads calling her crazy. Fight back for a change.

Do you want to know what her major concern is?We are seeing that in our time. Yes it gives us fear in some respects because we want the retirement that our parents enjoyed. Well they will, if they know Jesus Christ.
If the apocalypse comes, shes worried that she wont get her retirement. She is not worried about fire and brimstone, no siree. Shes not even breaking a sweat over the three horsemen and the plague and crap. She is worried that she wont get retirement. Yeah, that would be my big concern, too. Lord, do not come while theres still a dollar in my retirement account.Rather than seeing this as a negative, we need to rejoice, Maranatha Come Lord Jesus, His day is at hand, Bachmann added later.
So if Obama is bringing about something to rejoice, why the hell are you so damn mean to him? Thats the part I dont get.
No, thats not true. The part I really dont get is how she remembers to breathe.
