Pres­i­den­tial nope­ful, Michele Bach­mann, is at it again with her words of wisdom.

And no, that wasn’t a typo.  I want her to lose.

The Min­nesota rep­re­sen­ta­tive made con­tra­dic­tory remarks about her stance on mar­riage equal­ity, fol­low­ing the New York mar­riage vote.

She spoke to Fox News about mar­riage equal­ity, and por­tions of her inter­view were fea­tured on the polit­i­cal web­site, The Hill. Bach­mann believes the peo­ple of New York should be able to sup­port mar­riage equality…

“I do believe in the 10th amend­ment and I do believe in self-determination for the states.”

…if that self-determination is in favor of her views.

Rep. Bach­mann went on to say she believes mar­riage should be defined, fed­er­ally, as between a man and a woman, and she believes fed­eral law will always trump state law.

In other words, good for New York, but Bach­mann wants to take away your rights in the name of God and our fine government.

It is com­pletely hyp­o­crit­i­cal for Bach­mann to say she sup­ports a fed­eral deci­sion and a state deci­sion about gay mar­riage, with the stip­u­la­tion those deci­sions are the same.  If she believes mar­riage should be fed­er­ally defined between a man and a woman, she is insin­u­at­ing states, such as New York, do no have the right to sup­port mar­riage equality.

Futher­more,  I am sick of peo­ple say­ing it is rea­son­able for the pub­lic to decide if cit­i­zens should have a human right.  The 10th amend­ment shouldn’t even be an issue in this mat­ter.   When­ever I see a Con­fed­er­ate flag, I am thank­ful free­dom is not a major­ity decision .

Giv­ing the major­ity the power to oppress the minor­ity is not a demo­c­ra­tic value.

Bach­mann bet­ter get her facts straight and real­ize mar­riage isn’t so straight anymore.
