In an article about the reasons Rep. Michele Bachmann’s campaign fizzled, the Des Moines Register points to “sexism among conservatives,” singling out an offensive email written by a staffer to Rick Santorum:
MoreRival presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s Iowa coalitions director, Jamie Johnson, sent out an email saying that children’s lives would be harmed if the nation had a female president. [...]“The question then comes, ‘Is it God’s highest desire, that is, his biblically expressed will, … to have a woman rule the institutions of the family, the church, and the state?’ ” Johnson’s email said.
Wow. The ironic thing is that Bachmann would probably claimed that she was called by God to run for president... that she prayed on it, and felt that God was leading her down that path.
ReplyDeleteReligious beliefs will never cease to amaze and bewilder me.
you know hes right. anyone that actually READS the entire bible (not just what they want to read), knows the woman is supposed to be subservient to the man.
