UPDATE- Bachman’s husband runs a center to "council" people and change them from gay to straight, he calls gays Barbarians.
"We have to understand: barbarians need to be educated. They need to be disciplined. Just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road. That’s what is called the sinful nature. We have a responsibility as parents and as authority figures not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps…
And let’s face it: what is our culture, what is our public education system doing today? They are giving full, wide-open doors to children, not only giving encouragement to think it but to encourage action steps."

NL-This is a pledge that Bachman signed. I fixed the text so you can read it. But the highlights are- marriage is between a monogamous male & female only, gay people choose to be gay, black families were better off during slavery days than under the Obama administration, and porn & prostitution is destroying our country. Okay, maybe I embellished a little bit. The chick is so right wing she flies in circles. Scary!!
HE MARRIAGE VOW
A Declaration of Dependence upon MARRIAGE and FAMiLY1
Faithful monogamy is at the very heart of a designed and purposeful order – as conveyed by Jewish and Christian Scripture, by Classical Philosophers, by Natural Law, and by the American Founders – upon which our concepts of Creator-endowed human rights, racial justice and gender equality all depend.2
Enduring marital fidelity between one man and one woman protects innocent children, vulnerable women, the rights of fathers, the stability of families, and the liberties of all American citizens under our republican form of government. Our exceptional and free society simply cannot endure without the transmission of personal virtue, from one generation to the next, by means of nurturing, nuclear families comprised of sexually-faithful husbands and wives, fathers and mothers. We acknowledge and regret the widespread hypocrisy of many who defend marriage yet turn a blind eye toward the epidemic of infidelity and the anemic condition of marriages in their own communities. Unmistakably, the Institution of Marriage in America is in great crisis:
Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA‟s first African-American President.3
LBJ‟s 1965 War on Poverty was triggered in part by the famous “Moynihan Report” finding that the black out-of-wedlock birthrate had hit 26%; today, the white rate exceeds that, the overall rate is 41%, and over 70% of African-American babies are born to single parents4 – a prime sociological indicator for poverty, pathology and prison regardless of race or ethnicity. 5
About one million U.S. children suffer through divorce each year – the outcome of about half of all first marriages and about 60 percent of remarriages, disproportionately affecting economically-vulnerable families.6
The taxpayer-borne social costs of family fragmentation exceeds $112 billion per year, especially when all costs to the justice system are recognized.7
Social protections, especially for women and children, have been evaporating as we have collectively “debased the currency” of marriage. This debasement continues as a function of adultery; “quickie divorce;” physical and verbal spousal abuse; non-committal co-habitation; pervasive infidelity and “unwed cheating” among celebrities, sports figures and politicians; anti-scientific bias which holds, in complete absence of empirical proof, that non-heterosexual inclinations are genetically determined, irresistible and akin to innate traits like race, gender and eye color; as well as anti-scientific bias which holds, against all empirical evidence, that homosexual behavior in particular, and sexual promiscuity in general, optimizes individual or public health. 8
The Candidate Vow:
Therefore, in any elected or appointed capacity by which I may have the honor of serving our fellow citizens in these United States, I the undersigned do hereby solemnly vow* to honor and to cherish, to defend and to uphold, the Institution of Marriage as only between one man and one woman. I vow* to do so through my:
Personal fidelity to my spouse.9
Respect for the marital bonds of others.10
Official fidelity to the U.S. Constitution, supporting the elevation of none but faithful constitutionalists as judges or justices.11
Vigorous opposition to any redefinition of the Institution of Marriage – faithful monogamy between one man and one woman – through statutory-, bureaucratic-, or court-imposed recognition of intimate unions which are bigamous, polygamous, polyandrous, same-sex, etc.12
Recognition of the overwhelming statistical evidence that married people enjoy better health, better sex, longer lives, greater financial stability, and that children raised by a mother and a father together experience better learning, less addiction, less legal trouble, and less extramarital pregnancy. 13
Support for prompt reform of uneconomic, anti-marriage aspects of welfare policy, tax policy, and marital/divorce law, and extended “second chance” or “cooling-off” periods for those seeking a “quickie divorce.” 14
Earnest, bona fide legal advocacy for the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) at the federal and state levels.15
Steadfast embrace of a federal Marriage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which protects the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman in all of the United States. 16
Humane protection of women and the innocent fruit of conjugal intimacy – our next generation of American children – from human trafficking, sexual slavery, seduction into promiscuity, and all forms of pornography and prostitution, infanticide, abortion and other types of coercion or stolen innocence.17
Support for the enactment of safeguards for all married and unmarried U.S. Military and National Guard personnel, especially our combat troops, from inappropriate same-gender or opposite-gender sexual harassment, adultery or intrusively intimate commingling among attracteds (restrooms, showers, barracks, tents, etc.); plus prompt termination of military policymakers who would expose American wives and daughters to rape or sexual harassment, torture, enslavement or sexual leveraging by the enemy in forward combat roles.18
Rejection of Sharia Islam and all other anti-woman, anti-human rights forms of totalitarian control.19
Recognition that robust childbearing and reproduction is beneficial to U.S. demographic, economic, strategic and actuarial health and security. 20
Commitment to downsizing government and the enormous burden upon American families of the USA‟s $14.3 trillion public debt, its $77 trillion in unfunded liabilities, its $1.5 trillion federal deficit, and its $3.5 trillion federal budget.21
Fierce defense of the First Amendment‟s rights of Religious Liberty and Freedom of Speech22, especially against the intolerance of any who would undermine law-abiding American citizens and institutions of faith and conscience for their adherence to, and defense of, faithful heterosexual monogamy.
The Vow of Civic, Religious, Lay, Business, and Social Leaders:
We the undersigned do hereby solemnly vow* that no U.S. Presidential primary candidate – nor any primary candidate for the U. S. House, Senate, Governor, state or municipal office – will, in his or her public capacity, benefit from any substantial form of aid, support, endorsement, contribution, independent expenditure, or affirmation from any of us without first affirming this Marriage Vow. Furthermore, to uphold and advance the natural Institution of Marriage, we ourselves also hereby vow* our own fidelity to this Declaration and especially, to our spouses.
So help us God.
* NOTE: Or, “solemnly attest”. Each signatory signs only in his or her individual capacity as an American citizen and current or potential leader; affiliations herein are for identification purposes only and do not necessarily imply formal embrace of this vow or the sentiments herein by any institution or organization.

I don’t agree with all that Bachman believes but this article is the exact type of biased deception that causes so many people, even those that view porn, to hate the industry. She’s stands for a lot of good things but left wing types always leave that out. The porn industry should just tone down the political rhetoric. Frankly, almost no one in the industry has the education or brains to comment intelligently on any subject, let alone politics. If the industry wanted to do itself a favor it should keep it’s Democratic boot-licking to itself. It would be better served by shunning some of slime in the industry. I’ll take Bachman, with 23 foster-children, over people that try to profit off the death of a child any day. People don’t hate porn, they hate porn people. Folks in the industry have to smarten up on so many levels.
Sargeant is right. Under the Obama admin I can’t even afford to pay my phonebill much less rent and am spending over half of my deminishing paycheck on gas. But it’s STOP EVERYTHNG!! THE GAYS CANT GET MARRIED AND THEYLL MAKE PORN GO AWAY!! Are you kidding me?
This is even worse than Bush. I could at least support myself durring those years.
Anyone but Obama in 2012.
And Obama got in, in part, because it was “Anyone But Bush” in 2008… Remember the “Rednecks For Obama” signs. Well now, Obama can keep the “change” as he called it.
You guys fail to notice that no one is looking out for the hard working middle or lower class americans. It doesn’t matter if you vote democrat or republican, you are still gonna get ass fucked (without any lube) as our country continues its downward spiral to no longer being the greatest world power.
We will be this century’s Great Brittan like ancient Greece and Rome were until they fell. Corporations, Special Interest Groups, and PACs have manipulated our system into something they can control to maximize their profits while sucking the life out of the poor and working class.
Don’t forget the lobbyists, Military Industrial Complex and “rise” of the Right-wing media contributions to the downfall and possible disunion of the US.
Nothing on the News of the World scandal? You Left-wing type, Not Luke?
Today I was so broke I went to coinstar for gas money. Maybe that’s the “change” he was talking about.
So …..If not Obama then who?
The other candidates couldnt make it last time out, but now all of a sudden …..anybody but Obama…..okay let me know how it works out. Sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you dont.
OH YEA its the rise of the “right wing” media , what a bunch of horsesh*t ! The left has had the media on lockdown for decades and now all you guys can do is whine about a little competition.
The left and the Right are not the same, you can talk that “theres nothing we can do BS all you want, either participate in the system or STFU.
Good ol’ Travis… What about Rush, Hannity, Beck, etc? They too left wing for you? And who runs FOX? Mr. “Radical Conservative” himself (politically speaking, as he calls himself). If the Media is so “Left Wing” how come us “conspiracy nuts” don’t get much airplay? Why doesn’t Alex Jones have segments on CNN or CNBC?
Please don’t strain your brain too much, Travis, attempting to answer these questions!
“Because there’s a war out for your mind”… even if it’s already made of mush.
Like Jeremy said earlier- left, right, it doesn’t matter. All of these fuckers are bought and sold.
The problem people are having with this outrageous twat has a lot more to do with having their descisions curbed by a fundamentalist christian institution. Nobody wants to be babysat by fucking christians.
yeah..its looks like Obama for another 4 years…The Right Wingers are sooo full of shit and Mitt Romey is sooo plastic. Obama’s got something up his sleeve and its not his Watch. But we don’t need any repukians in office again.
Is that what Obama meant? we need change? thats what all the Homeless ask for all over the place now! “We need change!”
HEH HEH HEH you guys guys are gonna be so upset when bama loses.
Fox news is only one network, listing the different people on that network dont mean anything , its still ONE network. Why is that such a threat ? Not that i think they are very conservative especially on muslim/arab stories since that arab billionaire became a major stockholder.
I AM NOT A FAN OF ROMNEY.
list me some examples of the Right trying to run peoples lives. Seems to me that the left is and has been trying to tell people how to live for years. what you can and cant eat and where, what to drive , how to drive , do you think its the right not letting us drill for our own oil and natural gas or build nuclear power plants (one of bama stated goals is to destroy the coal industry) don’t even get me started on gov healthcare. The examples are to many to list. Gotta get your head out of your asses and look around. pseudo-intellectuals who think they’re smarter than everybody else are not gonna solve any problems . Do you guys hate and fear conservatives because its cool, you can be hip in all the right circles ? Libs tell me all the time that they can’t stand this person or that person from the right, and when i ask them why , they dont know ! some damn comedian or other nitwit is the only source they can site. Really ?
Now then steele , you are really gonna use alex jones as an example ? even the left knows he makes them look like kooks.
Now for you atheists , just what the f*ck is your problem ? Name me something a religous president took away from the people. People of faith (whatever faith) have been bending over backwards for you assclowns for 40 years . I DON’T SEE WHERE WE ARE BETTER OFF.
(climbing down off my soap box and saluting Reagan)
and another thing , ya wanna know why talk radio is dominated by conservatives ? BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR LIBS WHINING ALL DAY.
thank you , that is all

“OH YEA its the rise of the “right wing” media , what a bunch of horsesh*t !”
TravisW Says:
“ya wanna know why talk radio is dominated by conservatives ?”
You’re contradicting yourself, Travis.
not at all, i didnt say there was no conservative media, i said there was one TV network. Radio, much more than TV is controlled by the marketplace, if people wanted to hear libs then the airwaves would be filled with that shrill nails on a chalkboard sound.
You’re clever at fooling yourself, Travis. But that’s a trait common in many people.
And I recommend you and everyone watch “Orwell Rolls In His Grave”- an excellent documentary about how corporate media in America is now more controlled
than ever in our history.
