One of the five second sound bites about Michele Bachmann is her take on her church’s (occasional) commandment that wives be “submissive” to their husbands.<\/p>\n

Most non-Christians, and\/or more liberal Christians (and I don’t belong to a denomination that preaches it, by the way) for that matter either misunderstand the idea, or know nothing but the distorted idea of “submission” fed to them by people like, well, Bachmann’s critics.<\/p>\n

One of the areas where it’s irrelevant is, well, the presidency. \u00a0Michael Prell has an answer he’d suggest Bachmann give when she’s asked about the idea of “submission”.<\/p>\n

Here’s the conclusion (read the whole thing here<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, as president, I will not be submissive to union bosses, to billionaire puppetmasters like George Soros, or to militant anti-American leftists who demonize our soldiers and preach \u2018God damn America.\u2019 And, unlike President Obama, I will not be submissive to indicted or convicted special interest groups like ACORN, or to Weatherman terrorists, or those who want to see Israel wiped from the map.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead, as President, I will be submissive to the American People, and to the Constitution, because as President I will honor my oath to serve both the Constitution and the People\u2014unlike the current president of the United States and his minions who demonize patriotic and Constitution-loving Americans as \u2018terrorists.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Submission is not the issue. It is who, and what, you submit to that matters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s the real issue, and comparison, here; every tin-pot tyrant and banana-republic strongman is Barack Obama’s dominatrix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
