Michele Bachmann Pledges To Ban Porn If Elected, And Says Homosexuality Is A Choice

An Iowa Group called “The Family Leader” is circulating a Pledge to the 2012 Republican Presidential Candidates, which Michele Bachmann has signed, that states that homosexuality is a choice, a sin, and a public health risk, that porn should be banned, and that Sharia Law should be rejected.

Text from the pledge;

– HOMOSEXUALITY IS A CHOICE: The preface to the pledge reads, “Social protections…have been evaporating as we have collectively ‘debased the currency’ of marriage…in complete absence of empirical proof, that non-heterosexual inclination are genetically determined, irresistible and akin to innate traits like race, gender and eye color; as well as anti-scientific bias which holds, against all empirical evidence, that homosexual behavior in particular, and sexual promiscuity in general, optimizes individual or public health.” Footnote 8 reiterates this notion.

– HOMOSEXUALITY IS LIKE POLYGAMY, ADULTERY, POLYANDRY: Vow 4 requires the candidate to pledge “Vigorous opposition to any redefinition of the Institution of Marriage…through statutory, bureaucratic, or court-imposed recognition of intimate unions which are bigamous, polygamous, polyandrous, same-sex.”

– HOMOSEXUALITY IS A PUBLIC HEALTH RISK: Footnote 4 claims that homosexuality causes shorter life expectancy and a higher probability of a long list of sexually transmitted diseases. The Leader has previously compared same-sex marriage to second-hand smoking.

– SEX IS BETTER AFTER MARRIAGE: Vow 5 requires the candidate to support the notion that “married people enjoy better health, better sex.”

– PORNOGRAPHY SHOULD BE BANNED: Vow 9 stipulates that the candidate must “support human protection of women and the innocent fruit of conjugal intimacy” and protect them from “seduction into promiscuity and all forms of pornography…and other types of coercion or stolen innocence.”

– REJECT SHARIA ISLAM: Vow 11 requires the candidate to reject Sharia law.

The Culture War: Meaning never having to say that you're concerned about jobs.

1. Well, Crazy Eyes just locked in the hypocrite vote...

She should win the Repub primary in a landslide..

And be a real threat in the election too..

[ixion]

2. I'm going to disagree

There are two main subsets of the GOP: The social conservatives, and the social liberals. While Bachmann may energize the whacko-fundie element, she is simultaneously alienating the libertarian side. The latter side, the libertarians, seem pretty sick and tired of carrying water for the fundies just so their 'team' can win.

It's the primary reason you haven't heard this on the MSM. You can expect them to do everything in their power to soften her image nationally, but ultimately, I don't think it will work.

I could be wrong. We'll see.

3. The only thing I can see that the Libertarian side of the GOP gives a crap about is money..

Do you see more than one or two of them standing up against the drug war?

The drug war should be a focus for Libertarians but the ones who continually vote for Repubs don't give a damn about it.

It'll be the same with porn as with drugs, if you have enough money it doesn't matter whether it's illegal or not, you can get as much as you want and never have to worry about being prosecuted.

ETA: I did think of one other thing, guns, Libertarians are gun happy loons.

4. Faketarian is more like it

They call themselves that, but are very conservative on most social issues, which means they really aren't libertarians. There aren't many social liberals with much influence over the GOP anymore, it's about about the social conservatives.

11. I cannot understate my distaste for that woman.

[marmar]

12. Good grief......Repugs won't be satisfied unless people are deprived of all sexual pleasure.

Soon, a bill that intercourse can only be engaged in for reproductive purposes, and participants must be blindfolded and medicated while they're going at it.

15. They hate us for our Freedoms.
