In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Michele Bachmann Announces She Will Not Seek Re-election In 2014 [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)53. Story says she's moving out of MN to escape Gawd's judgement ~ But it's SATIRE:
Michele Bachmann threatened to leave Minnesota today if the state goes ahead with its plans to legalize gay marriage.

In an interview with a local television station, the conservative firebrand said she believes God will destroy Minneapolis once the legislation is enacted, and wants to be far away when the reckoning happens...
"I have a friend from Eden Prairie who's already packed everything she owns into her car and is driving out to Montana as we speak. These are very scary times. I don't want my family to be the last ones out..."
"I don't know what it will be, Bruce," she said. "It could be an earthquake. It could be a volcano. It could be some sort of flesh eating virus. All I know is that God does not let homosexuality go unpunished, and Minneapolis is next in line for his wrath.
It breaks my heart to think that the Democrats are willing to play politics with the lives of so many Minnesotans. And I hate to leave so many of my constituents behind, but I urge them - please, please - follow my example and get your loved ones to safety before it's too late."
LOL! I've met religious RWNJs who think just like this. So you better watch out, Oregon:

Nice pearls. Is Michelle really an autumn? That orange seems harsh with her skin tone.

There's nothing like an ethics investigation to make you want to spend more time with your family.
