Michele Bachmann Wants To Ban Halloween To Stop Children From Sucking On Satan’s Candy
by Will Kohler
Michele
(Batshit Crazy) Bachmann, Republican Congressional Representative to
Minnesota and founder of the Tea Party Caucus, is at it again. This time
she is calling for a ban on Halloween
"This holiday is based in Satanism. It’s a Pagan ritual to worship Satan and call him forth to the earth and the liberal elites have added socialism to it. We are in the end days and we must purify our nation if we are to be welcomed into the kingdom of God.We have to ban Halloween to save the children. That’s how they indoctrinate them you know. Giving them Satan’s candy sacks. Soon you’ve got a country full of children sucking on Satan’s sacks and thinking liberal thoughts instead of good Christian ones.”
From the Free Wood Post (Yes
the Free Wood Press is a satire website, but if you didn't know that
and Bachman is so fracking crazy, you probably believe that this story
is true.)
What's the fundamental difference between a cult and a religion?

Good satire usually has, at its core, a kernel of truth. Bachmann's unbridled ignorance regarding the historical roots of Christianity's own holidays further demonstrates why religious dogma and public policy make poor bedfellows.
