Michelle Bachmann goes to "Family Research Council" fundies...

Predictable lunacy occurs.
When is it going to dawn on these nutcases, that their whole "endtimes" beliefs is nothing but pure horseshit?

Bachmann: American Jews 'Sold Out Israel' To Help Obama; Bible Predicts US Will Turn Against Israel In End Times

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 3/4/2014 3:40 pm

Speaking with Family Research Council head Tony Perkins yesterday, Rep. Michele Bachmann warned that President Obama is “threatening Israel,” and by doing so is fulfilling biblical prophecies and bringing about the End Times. The Minnesota congresswoman told Perkins that Obama is pressuring Israel to “give up its land to terrorists” allied with Al Qaeda, which will lead to a “final war, destroying and reducing to rubble Israel.” “That’s in the natural, I just believe that as believers in Jesus Christ who see the authority of scripture, I believe that the Lord and his strong right arm will have Israel’s back and will be her protector,” Bachmann said. “The question is, will we as the United States cooperate in standing with Israel and blessing Israel, or will we join those nations that come against her? We are definitely on the wrong side. It is jaw dropping, it is stunning, it’s breathtaking.” The congresswoman was echoing an End Times belief that holds that a massive battle will take place in Israel, triggering the Last Days. Bachmann also skewered the Jewish community in the US for its wide support for Obama. She said that Obama “was helped enormously by the Jewish community,” who she says care more about supporting Obama than Israel:

I'm so tired of this bloodthirsty desire for Armageddon. As Mike Malloy said: "Isn't it about time for these freaks to rapture on out of here?"

They are circumspect when speaking to general audiences -- well, maybe not Bachmann -- but when they think they are talking to their own... Oh boy! That's when you find out what they really think. They start flapping their gums about end times, Jesus coming back, and all their other claptrap. You see how loony they really, truly are.

It never dawns on them that they can still be quoted. Or, maybe they just don't care.

Puzzling.

It's been "The End Times" for nearly 2,000 years.

Rapture, already!

He's a TV preacher, his wife relates some news item, and Van Impe says "It's the Endtimes! In (obscure Biblical verse)" it says..."

Like the late Harold Camping, and Hal Lindsey, he's "predicted" the Second Coming and the end of the world a couple times, and like the rest of these "prophets," he's always dead wrong.
