Bachmann's back and nuttier than ever

This is out at Rawstory today.

I don't know why she's allowed to wander around at will.

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/michele-bachmann-warns-obama-will-take-over-the-united-nations-and-then-reveal-hes-the-antichrist/

Check the link, I had to edit quite a bit -- and it was hard to decide what to take out or leave.

[div class = "excerpt"]
Michele Bachmann is fantasizing about the apocalypse again — but it’s hard to tell if she’s trying to stop it or enthusiastically cheering it on.

The former Republican congresswoman appeared Saturday on the “end times” radio program hosted by Jan Markell and Eric Barger, who she warned that the Syrian civil war was setting up the biblical battle of Armageddon, reported Right Wing Watch....

...Bachmann then cited a dubiously sourced report to predict that President Barack Obama was seeking to enlarge and expand his power by becoming secretary-general of the United Nations — that is, assuming he doesn’t cancel the November elections and remain in the White House.

“Obama would only go into an empowered, powerful UN, powerful enough to see the United States come under the UN’s authority,” Bachmann said....

...Nonetheless, Bachmann — a frequent critic of the mainstream media — found the reporting credible enough to form the basis of a wild conspiracy theory about Obama becoming “king of the world.”...

...Her implication, of course, is that Obama is the biblical Antichrist — a suggestion she’s made before.

Bachmann, despite her efforts, remains disappointed that American Christians aren’t as excited about the end times as Middle Eastern Muslims are — or she is.

That body must recommend the individual to the position:

"The United Nations Charter provides for the Secretary-General to be appointed by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council."

As such the Security Council has effective veto power...that is why the only Secretary General from one of the 5 permanent members of the Security Council was the very 1st from the UK. Since then all have been compromise candidates and relatively unknown.

But we should note down these crazy utterances of hers, and ask her just when anything she's yakking about is going to happen. Write it down, and get back in touch with her. Oooh, Armageddon! By when, Ms. Bachmann? August 1? December 1? MLK Day 2017? Give us a date by which time you think this is going to happen. And when it doesn't, please to shut up more.

I'd always click on links to her name knowing I'd be outraged/horrified/hysterically laughing.

Yes, she should be confined for her own protection.

Did Michelle Bachman just tip her hand
Is she really a Muslim?
I mean, ISIS is claiming that's where the battle between the forces of Islam will fight Persia and Rome

I'm not saying Bachman is a member of ISIS, but she could be

I think that election will be a defining one for me, as one of the most enjoyably silly elections, and she played a huge part, of course, along with CaribouBarbieGlitter.
