   Priority Realignment of the Day: Hey, did you hear how Michele Bachmann totally screwed up some insignificant piece of pop culture minutia that isn’t in any way a measure of a presidential candidate’s competence or suitability? Oh man!

   Seriously, though, can we drop the innocuous gaffes for a year and a half and get back to the issues? Because Bachmann has quite a few of them.

   For instance:

   Today, one of the leading proponents of [Evangelical Christian theologian Francis] Schaeffer’s version of Dominionism [a worldview both Bachmann and Rick Perry subscribe to] is Nancy Pearcey, a former student of his and a prominent creationist. Her 2004 book, Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity, teaches readers how to implement Schaeffer’s idea that a Biblical world view should suffuse every aspect of one’s life. She tells her readers to be extremely cautious with ideas from non-Christians. There may “be occasions when Christians are mistaken on some point while nonbelievers get it right,” she writes in Total Truth. “Nevertheless, the overall systems of thought constructed by nonbelievers will be false—for if the system is not built on Biblical truth, then it will be built on some other ultimate principle. Even individual truths will be seen through the distorting lens of a false world view.”

   When, in 2005, the Minneapolis Star Tribune asked Bachmann what books she had read recently, she mentioned two: Ann Coulter’s Treason, a jeremiad that accuses liberals of lacking patriotism, and Pearcey’s Total Truth, which Bachmann told me was a “wonderful” book.

   Scary stuff.

   Read the whole piece. But not before bed. This thing’ll keep you up for days.

   Congrats, America. We’re one step closer to that 2012 thing…

       Yep. Everyone read that New Yorker article. Thankfully, most of my sane Republican friends do not care for her. At all....

Finger touch chicken remover, or how I started blogging about the people around me and why they do what they do. I won't label this a psychology/sociology/headcase blog, as I'm not a real student (yet), but just some observations. And some random idiocy too...for sanity's sake.
