Certifiable.

The latest lunatic delusions from Michelle Bachmann, spoken because she doesn't have the guts to use the word she really wants to use about Barack Obama:
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann says she fears the Obama administration will create “re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums.” Audio after the jump.

Here’s what Bachmann said on Minnesota radio station KTLK-AM (podcast) this weekend (in reference to The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, a proposed expansion of the AmeriCorps program that Obama may sign into law this week):


It’s under the guise of — quote — volunteerism. But it’s not volunteers at all. It’s paying people to do work on behalf of government. …

I believe that there is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums.



It should be noted that Bachmannn...
...founded a publicly funded Christian charter school where creationism was taught in biology classes and, according to the Minneapolis City Pages, students were forbidden from viewing the Disney movie Aladdin because it supposedly contained anti-Christian themes. After spearheading a failed right-wing takeover attempt of the Stillwater, Minnesota, school board, Bachmann won a state senate seat in 2000 with the backing of several churches in her district.


But no, indoctrination wasn't even a glimmer in her mind during the days when she was trying to take over school boards for Jesus.

Right. I guess that when it's CHRISTIAN indoctrination it doesn't count.

Of course it doesn't count when Republicans or Christians are doing it. They are right, right, right in their beliefs. Everyone else is wrong, wrong, wrong. Therefore anyone who tries to encourage all beliefs and manners of thought are wrong, wrong, wrong.
