It’s funny how liberals claim they’re feminists, yet when a powerful, conservative female comes along they jump at the opportunity to smear her as incompetent.
The most recent attack is on Michele Bachmann, whom liberals have declared a sickly woman incapable of being president because she gets migraines.
Several news outlets questioned her ability to be president because of the headaches, like the Los Angeles Times column titled “Bachmann’s migraines presidency.”
First, no one really knows why people get migraines. To say Bachmann’s headaches come from stress is just a cheap crack at her credibility.
Liberals have no problem demanding we legalize hallucinogens like marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes. But when Bachmann takes safe drugs prescribed by a doctor, it’s “heavy pill use,” as if she were Amy Winehouse.
Most of us wouldn’t take a second look at Bachmann’s headaches because they don’t make a difference at all. But the left has badgered her so much that she was forced to respond, stating, “My ability to function effectively has never been impeded by migraines and will not affect my ability to serve as Commander in that.”
James A. Garfield was the only person elected as president while serving in the House. To say that he was unqualified is silly, especially taking into account one reporter’s characterization of his effectiveness in the house, “…when he takes the floor, Garfield’s voice is heard above all
