Bachmann: “Do We Want To Be Free, Or Do We Want To Be Slaves?”

Michele Bachmann did an interview posted yesterday at the right-wing blog Atlas Shrugs, where she talked about the danger of a global currency and other Obama economic policies. And she made this bold declaration: “And so we need to once again decide, do we want to be free, or do we want to be slaves? We have to make that decision. And I know I’ve made my choice, you’ve made your choice. And we have to act in concert if we want to make sure that we can hold on to what we have.”

On the plus side, there was a point in the interview where Bachmann continued hearkening back to the American Revolution — as she did during her fiery interview with Sean Hannity last week, when she said America was reaching the point of “orderly revolution” against Obama’s Marxism — but this time she was abundantly clear that she meant people needed to organize against Obama in elections:

The best thing that we can do, I believe, is to inform the American people what’s at risk and what’s at stake, and a better way forward. And if we can convince them — because all we have right now is we can do that — then perhaps we can turn this around in 2010, and at least stop the progress President Obama has made, continue to inform the American people, and make sure that his first term is his last term. And then we have to be extremely bold, if we are fortunate enough to win the presidency in 2012.
