Republican U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann said the backlash and national headlines in the past two weeks over her calls for an investigation into alleged Islamic influence in U.S. government show that political correctness is trumping national security concerns in this country.
"The concerns I have and my colleagues have are real," Bachmann told the Pioneer Press on Monday, July 30. "We cannot elevate political correctness over national security."
Bachmann was in Minnesota touring work on the St. Croix River for the new bridge near Stillwater and meeting with small business owners in St. Michael and Hanover.

Many other prominent Republicans condemned her allegations, including House Speaker John Boehner, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and her former presidential campaign chairman Ed Rollins.
But others have come to her defense, including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who wrote an op-ed for Politico in support of Bachmann.
"We have replaced tough mindedness about national security with a refusal to think seriously and substituted political correctness and a 'solid' assurance that people must be OK because they are 'nice' and 'hard working' for the systematic, intense investigations of the past," Gingrich wrote.

Minnesota is obviously now occupied by the enemy.
Too bad Bachmann got nowhere in her try for president. But by the same token it was upsetting she never hammered Romney. Still hasn’t. So I have mixed feelings about the whole primary. Michele was my first choice. Then I moved to Cain and Santorum.
Our country is systematically being sold down the river. The perps must be sent “Up the River” and damn quickly before the damage is fatal. There is still room at Leavenworth and GITMO!
“if it were up to me i would bulldoze down every mosque in america, outlaw islam and deport anyone that disageed.”
I am with you on that. Someday that chance will come, and it is probably not that far off. Fewer and fewer Americans are falling prey to polical correctness.
The same for me, in that same order.
But I guess now I'm a mittbot because I do not want a second Obama term.

Agree.
until people realize that this is a religious problem, and we are dealing with fanatics, we are doomed.
i would bury them all in pig excrement, feed those at guantamano pork and bacon, they would either eat it or die.
they wouldn’t have their prayer rugs and korans. screw them, they lost.
u can’t be nice to fanatics, that doesn’t help.
blessings, bobo
That’s a really nice graphic.
On that note, see tagline.
It is a totalitarian misogynistic political system that uses religion as a beard and for control of the masses.
i think that means that islam must be destroyed?

I’m thinking about making some larger versions to sell them through zazzle online. T-shirts, bumper stickers posters etc.
The Pentagon already put political correctness of embracing Islamic supremacist muslims ahead of national security.
Recall the handwringing over the Ft. Hood shooting. We were told by the men on top that it would be a “bigger tragedy” to question letting Islamists hold power over national security.
Done. Needs more voting:
Yes 36.98%
No 60.66%
I don’t know 2.348%
2014: I cannot wait to primary out La Raza Rubio...or is that now Mo’ Bro’ Rubio?
Kudos to Michelle Bachmann for speaking up, and continuing to do so
A vote for Michelle Bachmann’s critics is a vote for terrorism
Oops...should be “2016” to primary out La Raza Mo’ Bro’ Rubio
“if it were up to me i would bulldoze down every mosque in america, outlaw islam and deport anyone that disageed.
look at the mess in europe, or bother yourself to read the koran.
they are not our friends and they do mean you harm.”
Indeed.
The time will come when Americans and their leaders will have to make a choice whether to do just as you said, or not.
I’m NOT optimistic that they will make the right one.
I wish I could believe they would, but I’m a realist.
What’s coming is someday going to get VERY ugly.
Ms. Bachmann may have some faults, but on this subject she is as solid as the rock of Gibraltar. Her warnings bring to mind those of Churchill. The West desperately needs someone with his courage.
