Michele Bachmann Wants to Ban Halloween Stating, “Sucking on Satan’s Candy Sacks Leads to Liberalism”
"Michele Bachmann, Republican Congressional Representative to Minnesota and founder of the Tea Party Caucus, is at it again. She is calling for a ban on Halloween, stating, “This holiday is based in Satanism. It’s a Pagan ritual to worship Satan and call him forth to the earth and the liberal elites have added socialism to it. We are in the end days and we must purify our nation if we are to be welcomed into the kingdom of God.”
Perhaps Bachmann needs a history lesson. While there are some links to Celtic Festival of Samhain, which comes from the Old Irish for “summers end,” many historians also link today’s Halloween costumes to Christian dogma and practices derived from it. Halloween falls on the evening before the Christian holy days of All Hallow’s Day on Nov 1 and All Soul’s Day on November 2, giving the holiday on October 31 the name, All Hallow’s Eve. These three days are collectively refered to as Hallowmas and are a time for honoring the saints and praying for the recently departed souls who have yet to reach Heaven."

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I just about bought that one, it sounded so much like something she'd say. 
[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I came very close to sending it around myself before I noticed the source. 
it could have come right out of her mouth.
whoops!
I hope everyone enjoyed it anyways.
I'll add a note to the post.
