Michelle Bachman, dear readers, in my humble idea, is a twit. She wants to “save” this country. What in the name of God does this mean, exactly? Individuals can make their own decisions about “salvation,” and they don't need Michelle Bachman to pave the way. It's none of her business what individual citizens do with their own lives anyway. She's not a savior, in any way, shape, form, or quota. Maybe that's it. Maybe she has some innate insecurity about proving how good she is to God. Rubbish. The kind of Federal Government that exists has no bearing upon an individual's spiritual state of mind. The two are not connected in any way. Also, there should be communities of people expounding upon the idea of building trust and social capital, but the Federal Government also has a role to play in its citizens' lives, most importantly in the realm of social programs. Every citizen deserves to be honored in that way. Just because the Federal Government is honored to provide for its citizenry does not mean that churches should not be "stepping up to the plate" and helping people. There is place in this Western society for people to love one another and for the Federal Government to spend money on its citizens through Social Security, Medicare, and through other programs like Health insurance. This will not cancel local communities and groups, it can only enhance them. Money is purposeful and so is local social capital.
