"But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery* was no more in the United States. … men like John Quincy Adams**, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country." — Michele Bachmann.
(*They enshrined slavery in the Constitution. **Not a Founder)
Women may comprise a small fraction of the conservative wing of the political insane asylum. But what they lack in numbers they make up for in media attention. From the virulent strain of female anti-feminism embraced by Phyllis Schafly and promoted by Ginni Thomas to today’s gun-slinging racists Boebert and Greene, women have been noisy evangelicals of right-wing bigotry.
And let us not forget those zealots who, despite the wear of years, still indefatigably brandish their brand of garbled analysis on the public stage. Sarah Palin has thrown her illiterate inanity back into politics with a run for the Alaska House seat. And Michele Bachmann, like a rotting apple, is still bobbing in the sewer of her Christian delusion.
And she proved it by giving the visibly unimpressed Steve Bannon an insight into her paranoid thinking. On his podcast, the deranged harpy revealed that the Bible had foretold 21st century America’s fate at the hands of shadowy globalists and God knows what other malevolent machinators. In her words,
“This is all planned and designed to collapse the United States down so that we would be so weakened that we would go into this global government system. It’s unbelievable. But what the interesting thing is that we also had a section from Dr. Ed Hindsen, brilliant. Who talked about how this is actually predicted in the Bible, these times that we are living in. And what I am saying is that the Bible is probably the most relevant document on Earth right now, because it talks about these times that we are living in. It’s uncanny.”
Bannon replied sotto voce as if to soothe a hyperactive toddler in the grips of fancy — and fearful of the monsters under their bed,
“OK”
Did he relax her? I do not know. The video ends at this point.
Who is this brilliant Dr. Ed Hindson? He is a member of one of America’s most profitable industries. The fleecing of the easily influenced, by religious charlatans with an insatiable need to make your money theirs. And to convince the weak-minded to loosen their grip on their wallets, they prime the pump with dire warnings of the cabal of gays, women, socialists, wine-drinkers, vaccine-chippers, and Jewish bankers.
The 77-year-old Hindson has been at this game a while. And at first blush — without knowing anything of his philosophy — he sows the seeds of distrust. If a man is not honest about his hair, how can he be a credible source for anything? I realize that male vanity finds it hard to accept that God may strip them of their tonsorial splendor, but must he be so obvious in its artificial replacement. And besides, if God granted you the gift of baldness, do you not dishonor him by covering it up? Call me shallow, but I’m just asking questions.
Maybe the man has redeeming qualities. The odds are against it, but sometimes the long-shot wins. His education is deep but narrow. His bio says, “Dr. Hindson is a graduate of William Tyndale College. He holds an M.A. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, a Th.M. from Grace Theological Seminary, a Th.D. from Trinity, a D. Min. from Westminster, and a D. Phil. from the University of South Africa. That is a lot of letters. It all led to him being the Dean of the School of Religion at Liberty University.
Hindson is now the host of The King Is Coming, a TV show dedicated to the proposition that Jesus is returning any day now. And he has written more than twenty books that deal with Bible Prophecy. Not that I have not been keeping score, but it seems to me that Biblical prophecy has yet to be correct. And you can have the Bible, like Nostradamus, mean anything you want it to. And no one does a better job of having the Bible agree with their predictions and prejudices than Bachmann.
Bachmann once said of modern American conservatism, "Our movement at its core is an intellectual movement." It takes someone deluded to think that the current Republican team would win many games of Jeopardy. And it is that kind of delusion that allows Bachmann to believe that a man who has rarely been right is a good analyst of current events. Academia is not a liberal bastion because of some nefarious plot. It is so because intelligent people tend to be liberal. And atheist.
