Bachmann schools some young leftists about what the role of Gov't is. Very worth the listen.

Video at link. Michelle is on fire.

She was great in that video.

“There are no special rights for people based upon your sex practices.”......yet

[all the best]

Kinda scary that young kids are leftist, mush head ideologues. Bachmann response that man-woman marriage was the law of the land was woefully inadequate. That’s what the debate is all about, and the law of the land may well be changed. Marriage is between a man and a woman. period. Doesn’t matter what law of the land is. Majority votes or minority pressure does not change eternal truths.

I admire her calm, cool, reasoned responses. Michelle did great.

90% probability that good ol' Jane was molested before she joined the club.

“There’s no special rights based upon what you do in your sex life. You’re an American citizen first and foremost and that’s it.”

Good and accurate answer.

Jane Schmit or whatever can’t vote and there is a damn good reason 16 year olds can’t vote. Were it not for 18 year olds going to war they shouldn’t vote either. Neither should anyone who doesn’t pay taxes. That is the way it started out and that is the way it should have stayed and for damn good reasons.

Jane needs to sit down and STFU.

[Sister_T]

She did good. Just wish she would stop throwing darts at the others when they’re down.

I wish the GOP contenders would tie the First Amendment to so-called “homosexual” rights and how Americans would lose that right if we continue to allow so-called “homosexual-rights” to be law in any state.

[Enterprise]

I would have been a bit more blunt.

Why in the hell should two males have special rights because they _______ each others _________?

Why in the hell should two females have special rights because they _______ each others ________?

[who knows what evil?]

"What are you going to do for meeeeeeeee..?" Whiiiiiiiinnnnne...

This is the SAME 'entitlement' mentality Adam Carolla was ragging about...thanks, "teachers".

She is STILL my first choice. She is SMOKING conservatively speaking....

[driftless2]

For those who argue that no one has the right to deny consenting same-sex adults the right to marry because it’s an outmoded moral value that has no basis in law, then there’s no right to outlaw incest, polygamy, or bestiality. All can be justified using the logic of the people who support same-sex marriage.

[Yardstick]

She gave a good compact answer. She got the logic of why heterosexual-only marriage doesn't violate anyone's rights out there but didn't get bogged down in it. She gave the girls enough that they can go home and think it through. If they make a serious effort to do that (yeah, I know, unlikely, but still), they'll see that she's right. It's a tricky issue because the left has done a good job of getting it into people's heads that sexuality is equal to race as far as rights go. Which is of course false, since society experiences one as an action or behavior (i.e. something you do) while the other is strictly a property of the body (something you are).

[Retro Llama]

If anybody knows that a gay man has the same right to marry a woman that anybody else does, it’s Michelle Bachmann.
