Youtube Saturday: Michelle Bachman Edition
My favorite insane member of the US House of Representatives is undoubtedly Minnesota's Michelle Bachman. You may have heard of her for suggesting that the House of Representatives establish a committee to investigate its membership for un-American activities--unironically--but that's just the tip of the black helicopter sundae. She's can take literally any news item and turn it into evidence for the same conspiracy theory:

AmeriCorps will set up reeducation camps that will turn your kids into Hitler Youth!


CO2 Is a natural product of nature! Reduction of CO2 is a conspiracy!


Public transportation is a conspiracy to make all Americans live in urban tenaments!


Census? More like prelude to interment camps for all Americans! They'll never get my telephone number!


Too crazy for Glenn Beck!


We've all seen this one anyway


I'm sorry for posting all of that at once, but the consistency of her delusion is the best part. Everything in the world is just more proof that the government wants to take away your freedom, brainwash you, and throw you into a prison camp/urban tenement (the same thing, really). Never in my wildest dreams did I believe that political discourse in American would become so debased that a lunatic believer in the New World Order could be elected to national office. At least the collapse of our society will be amusing, as Truther battles Ron Paul Revolutionary and the calls to see Obama's birth certificate are drowned out by Xenu's final approach.

I think I might post about conspiracy theories next.
