I know I've heard Bachmann call herself a small buisness owner, but I had no I idea it was anything like this. I am trying to stay away from politics in general on this blog, becasue being an atheist does not require any particular political stance on any issue. Whatever your views on homosexuality may be, you will probably agree that selling a cure for an ailment without the cure being scientifically verified is immoral and potentially dangerous.
