Michele Bachmann: 'We Are Living In An Unparalleled Golden Time' Under Trump

Speaking this morning at the annual Values Voter Summit, former Minnesota congresswoman and current “pastor to the United Nations” Michele Bachmann declared that God heard the prayers of conservative Christians in 2016 and, as a result, America has been living in “an unparalleled golden time” for two years under President Trump.

“Two years ago, I believe that the prayers that God’s people made to ask God for his provision were heard,” Bachmann said. “They were heard and granted and for two years, we have lived in an unparalleled golden time in the United States.”

“We are living in an unparalleled golden time,” she repeated. “We have a president who has made the most pro-life actions of any president ever. We have a president who has been the most pro-Israel president ever in the history of the United States of America. Our president has put the United States on a pathway of blessing … We have the most pro-religious liberty president in the history of the United States, ever!”

“Do you see what a golden day that we have been given?” Bachmann asked. “On every possible level, America is killing it. We are doing great in every possible metric, and I believe that’s because God’s people utilized the tool that he gave us.”

If this is God's blessing, I would hate to see what Satan's blessing is.

which degrades quality of life for all. Just because there are more people working than before at low wages does not mean it is golden age.

They don’t have values. We have values like generosity and empathy,

In Buddhism it is said the blocks to becoming enlightened are greed hate and ignorance.

The “values” voters have all three in spades.

35% of Millennials are religiously unaffiliated (double the percentage of baby boomers). Does the next generation hit 50%? With charlatans like Michelle Bachmann making a mockery of Christianity, it's a distinct possibility.

What's absolutely scary is that we had a president who was a champion of morals and values, and the "morals and values" crowd treated him like shit and threw him under the bus. Now we have literally the exact opposite in charge - the cruelest, most inhumane, indecent and insufferable jackass who ever dared to call himself a leader, and they love him! It really says more about them and what they really stand for, doesn't it?

when people like her use Christianity merely as a tool to promote their agenda. It gives the entire religion a bad name. Like you said upthread, we had someone in power for 8 years who had strong morals (never getting caught in scandals) and was an upstanding Christian family man, but these RW "Christians" routinely mistreated and lied about him and his wife, and now they defend a perverted racist misogynist money-grubbing xenophobic Twitter bully.
