Michele Bachmann upset we can’t indoctrinate immigrants into Christianity

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/06/michele-bachmann-is-upset-we-cant-indoctrinate-immigrants-into-americas-predominant-christian-religion/

In an interview with World Net Daily, former Republican congresswoman Michele Bachmann attributed American’s increasingly liberal attitudes on social issues to the inability to entice recent immigrants into “America’s predominant religion,” by which she means: Christianity.

A recent Gallup poll found the number of Americans describing their views on social issues as “liberal” or “very liberal” was equal to those describing themselves as “conservative” or “very conservative,” a distinct change from attitudes in 2009 when the split was 42 percent conservative, 25 percent liberal.

Speaking at a forum with author Ann Coulter and longtime conservative gadfly Phyllis Schlafly, all three women lamented the drift away from conservatism, attributing it to increased immigration.

Coulter, who is currently out publicizing her new anti-immigration book, the subtly titled Adios, America: The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole, got straight to the point.

“Of course, this is a result of immigration,” she explained. “Liberals haven’t changed anyone’s mind. They couldn’t win elections with Americans, so they brought in ringers.”

A few years back she had both Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney out to speak at one of her congressional campaign events. I signed up for her campaign livestream just to see the event.

The funnniest thing was when they played Mitt Romney onstage to a recording of John Fogerty's CCR hit, 'Fortunate Son.' I was falling off my chair laughing as soon as I heard the opening notes.

11. Aren't Ann Coulter and Michele Bachmann the real reason people have turned off conservativism

They're stupid, crazy, echo chamber, factually incorrect, pissy attitude where any disagreement labels you a cast out has many people turning away from both religion and conservatism. More to the point it has more "progressives" saying fuck it I'm a liberal. Liberal isn't a dirty word anymore because the people that use it as a dirty word have turned out to be batshit crazy grifting scumbags. Ann Coulter calling me names only means, I must be right. The longer FOX destroys conservatism the stronger the liberal brand will get. These idiots are their own worse enemy but their too vain to understand it.
