Michele Bachmann: The Rapture Is Coming And It's Obama's Fault

[nil desperandum]

Another deranged politician believing the world will end thanks to politics.

But calling her crazy makes you an anti-religious bigot to some...how did we arrive here?

Michele Bachmann says the rapture is coming, thanks to President Barack Obama’s policies on Iran’s nuclear program and marriage equality.

In a radio interview last week, Bachmann, the former Minnesota Republican congresswoman, told "End Times" host Jan Markell, “We need to realize how close this clock is getting to the midnight hour.”

“We in our lifetimes potentially could see Jesus Christ returning to earth and the rapture of the church,” Bachmann said. “We see the destruction, but this was a destruction that was foretold.”

Bachmann cited the Obama administration’s nuclear negotiations with Iran as a cause. The U.S. and five partner nations are discussing a deal with Iran that would prevent the country from developing or obtaining nuclear weapons.
“We are literally watching, month by month, the speed move up to a level we’ve never seen before with these events," Bachmann said. "Barack Obama is intent. It is his number one goal to ensure that Iran has a nuclear weapon.”
Later in the interview, Bachmann again tied her rapture prediction to Obama’s foreign policy.

1. Not so confident of her inclusion?

[Mr.Bill]

18. I think she's worried about her gay husband. n/t

[RedstDem]

2. since Obamas bringing the rapture

Doesn't that make him "god" by definition?

[nil desperandum]

3. Well then,

I am no longer as up to date on my religious readings as I used to be....you might be correct.

[mr blur]

9. No, doesn't that make him the Antichrist? Or something.

I dunno, I don't speak Moron.

[Goblinmonger]

4. Shouldn't we welcome the rapture?

I mean, stop being a weak-ass Christian and bring it on, right? It's going to happen at some point. Why pass it on to future generations?

[bvf]

10. That's what I always thought.

Oh, and Thanks, Obama!

[Mr.Bill]

19. That's the funny thing about Christians.

They all think they're going to heaven, but they all seem afraid to die.

[mr blur]

27. They're just like Blank Frank and his cronies -

[progressoid]

23. No kidding. She should be thanking Obama for the rapture.

[TruthBeTold65]

5. I guess we can...

...add Michelle Backmann's prediction to the grand list of failed predictions on wiki...

[progressoid]

24. Well that's a fun list.

thanks for that link.

[AlbertCat]

25. I think we should add it.

I love how when a date comes and goes....folks like Cotton Mather just ...chose another date....meh...

[Nitram]

6. I don't get it.

Aren't they looking forward to the Rapture? Don't they want Jesus to return? If Obama is speeding that up isn't that a good thing? Someone please give me some help here.

[Curmudgeoness]

7. Well, since this comes from such a high authority,

I have to admit that I am getting scared.

[Warpy]

8. Someone from her town told me a few years ago

that before she ran for Congress, her wingnut preacher announced the imminence of the Rupture and the whole congregation locked themselves into the church to pray and fast and wait for it. They lasted a weekend and all meekly filed out and went back to work on Monday morning.

Poor Michele, she wants so much to see the rest of us suffer eternal torment while Jebus saves her bony ass. I kind of wish she and her bunch would get their wish, they'd be sucked up into the icy stratosphere with no clothes on, to the great amusement of their fellow human beings, who would finally be rid of the lot of them, presumably forever.

In the meantime, she doesn't have the mental capacity to realize this mess was all set into motion by the Bush family, father and dimwit son.

[nil desperandum]

11. Indeed

you are correct, delusional thinking seldom leads to accurate historical recollections...

The odd part of all these ramblings is that supposedly intelligent people actually voted for her to represent them.

That simple fact makes me question what passes for knowledge these days and how did we come to believe that the people who profess such nonsense are suited to making an informed decision about anything else that arises in a legislative session?

[bvf]

14. "supposedly intelligent"?

Some people wear ignorance like a badge. They're proud of it.

[nil desperandum]

28. You are, of course, correct

I was trying to be polite. I've heard far too often from far too many religious wingnuts that all they need to know is in the Bible...at which point I usually ask them where in Bible are the instructions for powered flight, automobiles, or modern conveniences...where did that knowledge come from...that's also usually where the conversation ends.

12. Dibs on Creflo's jet.

And Bieber's cars.

Man, this is gonna be sweet!

This heathen's going to travel in style!!!

[BlueJazz]

26. I call Shotgun!

[beam me up scottie]

29. Okay!

You can bring the tunes!

[Binkie The Clown]

13. I coulda swore the rapture was god's fault. n/t

[Warren Stupidity]

16. you made god do it.

Turns out we are in an abusive relationship with god.

[skepticscott]

17. Some DU posters seem to be

And with his Holiness Frank..

[asharpwone]

15. "Another deranged politician believing the world will end thanks to politics."

I think you meant to say

"Another deranged politician believing the world will end thanks to a crazy cult religion that has gone on for 2000 years too long"


There, I fixed it for you.

No offense, but could Michele herself ever be sane if she grew up and got indoctrinated by such foolish ideas? Could ANYONE? Well, obviously SOME can overcome such indoctrination, but for those who can't it's really a disgrace to their religion that they ever campaign for office and, worse, get elected, and submit us to their forms of never ceasing insane thought patterns.

[haikugal]

20. These people are insane... And should be no where near our government!

21. I always thought Wrapture would be a good name for a musical group.

[AlbertCat]

22. Oh goody!

Since the rapture will never happen, Obama is blameless.
