Profile of a Republican Congresswoman.

You really should read from the top, but the last four paragraphs were the ones that will jump out at you.

She experienced domestic violence but always seemed very close to legal enforcement, eventually becoming a deputy sheriff. What hits me about this is how her concept of the American Dream is so different than mine. I mean, how can she be part of legal enforcement and claim she's fighting for the American Dream when the good ole boys in her county are gaming the system to provide the best for their inner circles at everybody else's expense?

I'm telling you, if you want to gather evidence to support Affirmative Action, look no further than Seminole County.


U.S. Rep. Sandy Adams says her dramatic life story shapes her politics in quest for American dream

In 2010, Adams used tea-party support to win a seat in Congress. Her first year saw her backing largely symbolic legislation — banning the use of foreign laws in U.S. courts; long detention for immigrant criminals who can't be deported. She since has become a key Republican voice in fights over contraception and domestic violence.

In recent months, she has attacked Democrats over what she calls their "faux war on women" as policymakers debated whether faith-based employers and their insurers should be required to provide contraception coverage under the "Obamacare" health-care legislation.

"Women across this country … are not concerned with this faux war on women," she said. "They understand what happened when this [contraception] rule came out. It really was an attack on our religious liberties and our religious freedoms," said Adams, a devout Christian, during a recent panel.

"This is not about me. It will never be about me," said Adams, speaking of her role as a lawmaker. "So when I fight for something I believe in — like the American dream — it's because I do believe in it. I do believe in the American dream. I lived it."

1. What can one say? What can one do, but vote her out of office?

The woman is blind. She somehow, deep in her soul, feel that women are the property of men.

2. John Mica will take it from her.

Don't care for him, myself, but he was effective as a politician before the Rick Scotts and Sandy Adams moved in.

3. Interesting that she thinks "religious liberty" means forcing her religion on others.

4. I know, right?

And how does this not affect her work in law enforcement? People with these judgmental beliefs cannot possibly be as effective as they should be.

5. Don't they ALWAYS do that?

And then cry about persecution if they're not allowed to force their views on everybody else.

7. Isn't that what defines a fanatic?

6. "Women across this country … are not concerned with this faux war on women." Yep,

that's why we all marched last Saturday in over 200 cities.

8. The one thing I'm not sure about, is whether she's playing up to the tea baggers because

she knows she's in for a fight for her political life, or she really is one of them.
