Michelle Bachmann Considers Herself To Be Jewish

I consider her to be jewish as well

SOURCE


Michele Bachmann is a member of Congress, Tea Party idol, and is flirting with a run for the Presidency. Did I mention she really loves Israel? She obviously knows where her bread is buttered.

At a Republican Jewish Coalition event in Los Angeles last week, Rep. Michele Bachmann offered a candid view of her positions on Israel: Support for Israel is handed down by God and if the United States pulls back its support, America will cease to exist.

So far, it looks like the best that the Republican Party can come up with to oppose Obama is Mitt Romney and the empty headed, Israel worshiping, Michele Bachman.

On the last day of AIPAC Policy Conference, I interviewed GOP Congresswoman from the 6th District Michele Bachmann.

Here are her thoughts on Israel and Iran:

On Israel:

“I have been a long time supporter of Israel. The first time I went to Israel was the day I graduated from high school. I spent a summer working on Kibbutz Be’eri near Beer Sheva in 1974. I’ve been 4 times in Israel – 3 times as a Member of Congress. I loved Israel – from the moment I first landed.

As a young girl from Anoka, I was shocked at the level of security in Israel.

We worked on the kibbutz from 4 am to noon. We were always accompanied by soldiers with machine guns. While we were working, the soldiers were walking around looking for land mines. I really learned a lot in Israel.

I was delighted to go back as a Member of Congress, and see all the changes. To see how it has developed – it is nothing short of a miracle! To see a rose bloom in the desert. In 60 years, Israel has achieved first world, or nearly first world, status.

I am honored to be in a position where I can help Israel. I have a tremendous love for Israel, and great admiration for the Israeli people. I am a Christian, but I consider my heritage Jewish, because it is the foundation, the roots of my faith as a Christian.

On Iran:

Iran is a very serious situation. With each day that we’ve failed to have sanctions, our choice is more difficult. Iran has been an aggressor. It has been unwilling to deal diplomatically with the issue. We need to be apprised [of the situation] and not underestimate the intent of the leaders [of Iran] to do damage to the United States and our friend Israel.

Israel has always been a friend to the United States, and in the United States, it is in our best interest to maintain that stability, for democracy.

This isn’t just pandering, this is grotesque pandering and serves as just another of seemingly endless examples that perfectly illustrates why Sam Francis correctly referred to the GOP as “The Stupid Party.”

It’s too bad that GOP candidates like Bachmann don’t love their own country as much as they do others.

America First!
