and I can point out prestigious law school graduates who don't know a flippin thing about the constitution, despite them claiming otherwise.
Bachman quitting in 2014
- Thread starter evince
- Start date
Excuse me, WAS a joke, the law school folded in the 80's because too many students were embarrassed to attend, the alumni could not find employment, and they struggled with attaining accreditation.
ORU Law school went out of business, so it does not rank anywhere.
God told her she was going to get her ass kicked.

Michele Bachmann: ‘God Wants Me To Earn 7 Figures For A Lobbying Firm’
Bachmann said the Lord and Savior urged her to consider the considerable financial benefits offered by live speaking gigs.
WASHINGTON—Saying that it’s the Lord’s will, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann announced on her website Wednesday that she has decided not to seek reelection in 2014 because God wants her to earn millions of dollars working for a high-powered lobbying firm.
According to Bachmann, God spoke to her directly after many days of intense prayer and ultimately told the exiting Congresswoman that there is no reason she should only make $174,000 per year when she could easily earn up to eight times that amount in the private sector.
“This was a difficult decision for me, but God said this is a highly lucrative opportunity and I need to capitalize on my fame now before my high media profile diminishes,” said Bachmann, adding that the Supreme Being commanded her to “strike while the iron’s hot” and work for a conservative lobbying group like FreedomWorks or the John Birch Society or whichever one offers her the most money. “I would love to stay on and represent Minnesota’s 6th congressional district, but who am I to ignore God’s plan, which He said could earn me over $10 million next year and over $20 million the following year if I invest wisely, which God wants me to do as well.”
“God also wants me to make a lot of money on the speaking circuit,” Bachmann added.
During the announcement, Bachmann said that in addition to working for a lobbying firm, the Lord and Savior urged her to sign a book deal with a multi-million-dollar advance, become a regular contributor to Fox News, and hire a television agent in case there is money to be made either by producing television shows or being the star of a reality program that centers around her.
Bachmann confirmed that in her numerous conversations with the Lord, she argued that she was most useful fighting for the people of Minnesota, but that God made it clear he wants the congresswoman to be very, very wealthy and to relentlessly leverage her brand for monetary profit. According to Bachmann, at one point God said to her, “If you don’t do this now you are shooting yourself in the foot. Because if you lose the upcoming election and are forced out of public service, you will be seen as a liability, and no one is going to pay good money for a liability.”
Bachmann said that as much as it hurts her to leave Congress, it would hurt her more to disappoint God.
“When it comes down to it, the Lord said in a vision, ‘Madam Congresswoman, I want you to be anti-gay, anti-immigration, and anti-gun control, but I want you to promote those values from a position where you can command seven- or eight-figure sums, preferably while living in a locale with sufficient tax breaks,’” Bachmann said toward the end of her announcement. “Jesus was with Him, too, and He wholeheartedly agreed. Then Jesus said I would be doing a great disservice to myself and the people I love if I don’t buy a new Mercedes. The silver one with the convertible top I’ve had my eye on for some time.”

And where was yours ranked relative to ORU?

53rd. Why did you lie?

Here's where we get into trouble that Orwell wrote about. When truth becomes opinion. When someone can straight out lie about something and it becomes truth because brains have been washed to the point where they can't tell truth from lies.
Since she's SOOO smart she must know that she's lying and she's putting her credibility on the line with each lie. Either that or she's maybe not-so-smart, or a puppet for some special interest who's padding or going to pad her bank account.
Yankee, lies are lies not opinions.

ORU School of law has no ranking. Sorry to burst your bubble. If you want to go back and research how it was ranked in the 80's, then compare it to my School maybe we could figure that out.

That's not what I said. I said: "What you call lies is your opinion, and the opinions of liberals like yourself" In other words, it is your opinion that these are lies.

It's a small school. Pretty good ranking for such a small one. From the ratings website: "Regional Universities offer a full range of undergrad programs and some master's programs but few doctoral programs." [emp added]
In other words, few of these small regional schools offer Doctor of law degrees, because they are so small.
So again, how does your university rank overall with respect to hers?

I don't know what you are talking about, her school has NO ranking. It does not exist. Are you going to try to compare the undergraduate school of ORU as its currently ranked to my Law School? I don't see the relevance, but I suspect my Law School would beat it.

She makes way more money than you, so by your assessment, she must be way smarter.

So yours scored 54th in your category and hers scored 53rd in her category.
So tell me again that ORU is "a joke".
And what about William and Mary?
Her presidential campaign is under investigation by the feds for inappropriately stealing money. She's also under FBI investigation.

"Smart" doesn't always translate to "Sane". What Bachmann had in looks and speaking skills she lacked in common sense.
23 foster children. All used to provide free labor during political campaigns. I guess you don't get the irony of using IMDB as a source for her biography, do you?
Damn. You know these idiots are going to believe that.
Well. THAT explains a lot!
