Michele Bachmann is Un-American

Michele Bachmann has been granted citizenship in Switzerland. What's wrong Michele, America not good enough for you? You prefer those European socialists over Americans. Why do you despise America so much? Enjoy your universal healthcare from those fucking Swiss socialists:rolleyes:

Let's not fall into the "Sam Fisher School of Thread Starting" please.

A. That's not the headline that goes w/ the story
B. The articles say she was "granted". Not that she "sought".
C. The article says this is something to do w/ her kids. If being granted this "citizenship" helped your kids, you wouldn't do it?
D. Unless there is another significant detail, what's wrong with dual-citizenship?
E. If the way the Swiss do things gets the crazee bitch to change her addled mind about something, how is this not a good thing?
F. It's Michelle Fucking Bachmann. If she ain't running for Prez, her diminished entertainment value requires a better story than this for us to mock her.

Seriously, we already have Sam for non-issues like this. Let's leave it with him. :)

Easy Mayhem it's just a joke, see the sarcastic smiley. This is exactly how Fisher, Trident or even Will would react if it was a Democrat who did this, that is what makes it so funny at least I think it's funny. It's also a reflection on the conservatives

I get why you posted it. I'm just leery of us getting to the point where we sling crap like this instead of real topics.

And the Cons know they're on the losing side this time. This is Reagan vs. Mondale, in reverse, all over again. After todays announcement, all Obama (and the Dems) have to do is keep hitting them on women's rights, and it's all over but for the cryin'.

P.S. I knew you were joking. Re-check line F.....and the smiley at the end. It's all good.

Bachmann was granted citizenship in Switzerland? As a life long Minnesotan I have this to say:

"What the heck ya mean? Ah, Jeeez. . . "

The truth is that the founders of the State of Minnesota made a pact with Satan over a hundred years ago (to stop the destruction of the forest at the hands of Paul Bunyon), and now we are bound to elect one looney toon to public office every election cycle. At least Jesse Ventura was entertaining.

On the bright side, maybe she'll move to Switzerland and then we can do some other crazy ass thing like support Diablo Cody or Prince for a presidential run.

:facepalm:

The only continent she should be granted citizenship to is Antarctica. I just hope that once she freezes over no archaeologists decades later will excavate her, initiating off a horror story much like The Thing.

As dumb as she is, they should have slid a form in to renounce her American citizenship when she activated her Swiss citizenship.

A spokesman at the Swiss Embassy said Bachmann had activated that citizenship in March.

And in an election year, no less. Although I guess she's not running for Congress again, what if Mittens Romney had wanted to draft her as his running mate? What then, Michele? Huh? Huh? Huh? Then, how would we explain this?! For the last time, stop doing (and saying) dumb shit! And tell Sweet Marcus to stop approaching 19 year old boys in restrooms, offering to pray away their gay... at the local Super 8 Motel. We're not going to be able to get you elected Queen in 2016 if you won't work with us! :brick:

Michele Bachmann gives up Swiss passport

Minnesota congresswoman and former US presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has withdrawn her Swiss citizenship.

The move comes two days after it was first reported that Mrs Bachmann, 55, acquired citizenship with her family.

Mrs Bachmann said she had decided to give up her new Swiss passport to prove she is a "proud American citizen".

The three-term Republican was eligible for dual citizenship through her husband, who is of Swiss descent, a spokeswoman said.

"I took this action because I want to make it perfectly clear: I was born in America and I am a proud American citizen," Mrs Bachmann said.

"I am, and always have been, 100% committed to our United States constitution and the United States of America."

Switzerland provides universal healthcare, a policy that Mrs Bachmann has strongly opposed.

Mrs Bachmann had been criticised for taking on a Swiss passport, which she applied for when some of her children wanted to become dual citizens.

...

Wow. I had the impression she was pretty nutty, but this is one step beyond :1orglaugh

As I understand it (and correct me if I'm wrong), but it was the father's Swiss citizenship that enabled the kids to be Swiss citizens. Michele's citizenship status had nothing to do with the kids' status. She was entitled to Swiss citizenship when she married Sweet Marcus back in the 70's. But only a couple of months ago she decided to seek dual American/Swiss citizenship.

IMO, no matter the politics or ideology of the person, that a sitting member of the United States Congress would do this is shameful - it's especially ironic and distasteful that it's a fake, flag waving, hyperbolic, bomb thrower like Michele Bachmann. As much as she's willing to question the patriotism of others, she really takes the cake by pulling a stunt like this. But, it's pretty much what I expect from those of her ilk.
