'I Completely Oppose Everything They Stand For' - They Need To 'Be Taught Our True American History'

Yesterday, Rep. Michele Bachmann's (R-MN) was incensed when her South Carolina speech was interrupted by Occupy Wall Street protesters, telling reporters she found the move "ignorant and disrespectful." This afternoon on The Sean Hannity Show, Bachmann told substitute host Rose Tennent that the "kids" of Occupy Wall Street need to "be taught our true American history," warning they have a "mindset that is demanding the implementation of Marxist ideas in the United States." She added, "I completely oppose everything that they stand for."
BACHMANN: The point is — it is a — the real question has been asked, what is it that Occupy Wall Street wants? Ultimately, what is it? And I think essentially what they want is to have the United States embrace Socialism and the principles, essentially, of Marxism. That's antithetical to everything that our veterans have lived and fought and died for. And it's really remarkable to me, not only the level of disrespect, but really, the ignorance that is displayed. And it's an ignorance of the historic level of the cost that was paid for all of the kids that were there to secure their liberty and their freedom. Yes, they have the First Amendment right to speak out, but I think it's really terrible the level of ignorance that people have about the very high price that was paid to give them this magnificent country. And I think if they could only be taught our true American history, they would never do that, they would appreciate the heroes that surrounded them. And so it really was an object lesson, I think for all of us, yesterday as we consider where we're at right now in this nation.
[...]
BACHMANN: And I think that's where we need to recognize that this isn't just a — kind of a foolish teenage Woodstock expression. This literally is a mindset that is demanding the implementation of Marxist ideas in the United States. I oppose Marxism. I oppose socialism. I oppose their premises. And that's why this election, Rose, in 2012 is so absolutely key because the left constantly pushes us farther and farther to the left. President Obama says that he stands with Occupy Wall Street. Isn't that really all we need to know? He stands with people who are self-identified socialists and Marxists? That's all we need to know. I completely oppose everything that they stand for.
Listen:
Given Bachmann's previous gaffe-filled accounts of American history, her lament that the protesters need a history lesson is a little rich.
I believe that it should be seen as extremely offensive to state that American soldiers are fighting for ideology. They don't fight for economic ideologies like socialism or capitalism or communism. They are meant to defend American sovereignty and our freedoms if necessary (they are not at this time but that isn't the point). Of course she would oppose the OWS movement. They at least oppose Corporatism and our politicians depend on it to make money. All of them do with the sole exception of Ron Paul.

As a professional history teacher, I wouldn't let Michele Bachmann anywhere near my students. The way she throws around unfounded opinion as if it is really history...her utter lack of any knowledge of theoretical Marxism, the causes of the Great Depression, the various justifications that have been used to drag our nation into warfare...all couched in the transparent veil of "patriotism and religion," is beyond revolting and disgusting. She should just shut up, dry up and blow away. I hope the good people of the Minnesota 6th will add her name to the lists of the unemployed next November.

So... how would Mrs Bachmann explain all of the veterans who are part of the OWS movement? How would she explain the Marines who carried out their fellow Marine who had been shot in the head by police? How would she explain the Sailor who stood face to face against a line of riot police, holding a flag and the American Constitution?

Mrs. Bachman is not in touch with the needs of the real people in this Country. She has 'preached' from day one that Obama must go. Why? We know, of course, that it is because he is black. Not a single republican candidate could have done a better job than Obama...with the horrendous mess they and their fellow republicans handed the Country. They bellow about 'morals' and "christianity" while encouraging killing innocent men, women and children in Wars. They have no experience in Diplomacy and any one of them will start a nuculear war with Iran if elected. They don't understand that the "Movement" in the US and around the world is to prevent or stop wars...to level the financial playing fields...to demand justice. She is number one in the ratings for a reason.
