Fear Mongering or Ignorant of Facts? Another "Bachmannism."

The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991. This is a fact known by many Americans yet, apparently, not all members of Congress. Even one member of  the "House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence",  Congresswoman Bachmann. On Jay Sekulow’s radio show 8/18/2011,  she stated: 

"What people recognize is that there’s a fear that the United States is in an unstoppable decline. They see the rise of China, the rise of India, the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward. And especially with this very bad debt ceiling bill, what we have done is given a favor to President Obama and the first thing he’ll whack is five hundred billion out of the military defense at a time when we’re fighting three wars. People recognize that."

  

An example of what I expect from a POTUS. We have nothing to fear but fear itself regardless of what some of our officials say.

"Feel the Rainbow, Stop the Hate."

MN's own Robert Erickson (Nick Espinosa) began a peaceful form of activism, "Feel the Rainbow". While in MN, Newt Gingrich was the first to have this glittering experience. I thought Newt took it in stride yet seemed a bit disgusted. Mn's own Michele Bachmann felt the glittery rainbow in her home state. She continued on her way as if it had not happened. I cannot determine if she took it in stride or was oblivious to the fact that it had occurred. Some have stated opinion that they see this act as an assault on both Gingrich and Bachmann. Mn's own Tim Pawlenty traveled to San Francisco where he, too, felt the glittery rainbow! Those appearing to be his bodyguards  acted quickly to protect him from the threat of the pink shredded paper tossed on the table before him. Although it has been reported otherwise, it appeared to me that he smiled and seemed a bit entertained. I applaud his display of Mid-Western spirit. He appeared to not seem threatened by an act that held no danger. I appreciate that he didn't major in the minor. Feel the Rainbow consists of throwing glitter in an attempt to bring awareness to laws and legislation based on the sexual preference of individuals. The original slogan being, "Feel the Rainbow, stop the hate."
