This Is Important, You Should Know About It of the Day: Republican presidential nomination hopeful Michele Bachmann is the first candidate to sign the “pro-marriage” pledge of conservative Christian group The Family Leader.
According to the Des Moines Register, those who sign “The Marriage Vow” [pdf] agree “to personal fidelity to his or her spouse, the appointment of ‘faithful constitutionalists’ as judges, opposition to any redefinition of marriage, and prompt reform of uneconomic and anti-marriage aspects of welfare policy, tax policy and divorce law.”
The vow also affirms the signee’s belief that homosexuality is a public health risk and a choice, and on par with polygamy and polyandry.
Worse still is the vow’s shocking suggestion that children born into African-American families under slavery were better off than they are today because they were “more likely to be raised by [their] mother and father in a two-parent household.”
And, finally, for good measure, candidates who sign the pledge must also make a point of rejecting Sharia law.
A spokesman for Rep. Ron Paul has expressed reservations on behalf of the congressman, while Tim Pawlenty’s spokesman said the former Minnesota governor was reviewing the document. Most of the other candidates refused to comment on their plans; only Jon Huntsman has stated (through an aide) that he will not sign the pledge as he “never signs any pledges.” Family Leader CEO Bob Vander Plaats — who was state chair of Mike Huckabee’s Republican presidential campaign in 2008 — said his organization will only support candidates who sign the pledge.
(NB: It should be noted that the controversial passage in the pledge that refers to the “protection” of women and children from “all forms of pornography” may not be a call for the outright banning of porn as some assert, but is certainly worth questioning.)

families under slavery were better off than they are today
under slavery were better off
I would love to knew where the fuck they got that! [bolded] The biggest bullshit I’ve read in a looooooong time.
I want this woman to move to Antartica forever. Never to be heard from again.
Of course Black children were born into homes w/a mom & dad during slavery. When massa saw fit that every woman of childbearing age was coupled up to have as many children as possible to up his profits, this was very common. When a woman’s worth increased with the number of children she could produce for massa, when massa was giving PRIZES to which ever bondwoman was the most prolific, there had to be a man around right? I mean damn. THINK. But at the end, they were all property. He owned all the people though. MASSA OWNED ALL THE PEOPLE.
That is not “better” Rep. Bachman. NOT FUCKING BETTER!!!
and the dumb bitch of the decade award goes to…. 0_o she need to be SLAPPED for her ignorance. that is INEXCUSABLE. period.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo13jpZluc1qzpwi0o1_1280.jpg)
