Michele Bachmann, Stop. Just stop.

Well, it’s recently come to my attention — for the zillionth time — how much Michele Bachmann needs to simply just shut up about the topic of gay marriage. Seriously, Michele, you do not make sense, and it’s time to take a tip from Herman Cain. Drop out, please.

She recently made comments at an Iowa town hall meeting on the topic, getting bombarded with questions from kids, who know their stuff. She said to one girl: “They can get married, but they abide by the same law as everyone else. They can marry a man if they’re a woman. Or they can marry a woman if they’re a man.”

Michele, this doesn’t make sense.

Gay marriage doesn’t work that way, nor should anyone only have the option to marry or not marry another person based on their sex.

Furthermore, calling Iowa to repeal the passage the ’09 declaration that same-sex marriage in the state would be allowed is none of your business. It’s constitutional, and that’s that.

On the subject, she said: “Marriage, historically, for all human history has been between a man and a woman. It hasn’t been the same-sex marriage And remember that in Iowa, it was judges that made the decision — not the legislature, which are the people’s representatives, and certainly, not the people.”

Well, Michele, maybe you need to hear the heartfelt words of Zach Wahls. He knows a little bit more about the benefits of being the son of gay parents. Just a little.

Anyway, I needed to get this off my chest. The woman is crazy, and she shouldn’t be espousing these ill-informed beliefs. Hell, even other Republicans think she — and all the other presidential candidates — are crazy.

And so, sure, I’m a proponent of free speech — I am a journalist after all. But this stuff? No, it doesn’t make sense.

Thanks, Michele, for sharing. But, yeah…shut up.
