Michele Bachmann: A Hawthorne Prophecy

by David Yeagley · June 15, 2011 · 25 Comments ·

Michele Bachmann may be the fulfillment of a prophecy made by Nathaniel Hawthorne in back in 1850, as he ended his sad and somber tale of The Scarlett Letter. The prophecy was glorious. Do we want to see it come to pass?


Rep. Michele Bachmann, 6th District, Minnesota, representing the Tea Party in Congress, and the foundations of America. Bachmann is the first Republican woman to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota

Years after the lugubrious labyrinth of a story, when Hawthorne accounts for Hester Prynne’s return to the Puritan coast of New England, he says:

Here had been her sin; here, her sorrow; and here was yet to be her penitence. She had returned, therefore, and resumed,—of her own free will, for not the sternest magistrate of that iron period would have imposed it,—resumed the symbol of which we have related so dark a tale. Never afterwards did it quit her bosom. But, in the lapse of the toilsome, thoughtful, and self-devoted years that made up Hester’s life, the scarlet letter ceased to be a stigma which attracted the world’s scorn and bitterness, and became a type of something to be sorrowed over, and looked upon with awe, yet with reverence too. And, as Hester Prynne had no selfish ends, nor lived in any measure for her own profit and enjoyment, people brought all their sorrows and perplexities, and besought her counsel, as one who had herself gone through a mighty trouble. Women, more especially,—in the continually recurring trials of wounded, wasted, wronged, misplaced, or erring and sinful passion,—or with the dreary burden of a heart unyielded, because unvalued and unsought,—came to Hester’s cottage, demanding why they were so wretched, and what the remedy! Hester comforted and counselled them, as best she might. She assured them, too, of her firm belief, that, at some brighter period, when the world should have grown ripe for it, in Heaven’s own time, a new truth would be revealed, in order to establish the whole relation between man and woman on a surer ground of mutual happiness. Earlier in life, Hester had vainly imagined that she herself might be the destined prophetess, but had long since recognized the impossibility that any mission of divine and mysterious truth should be confided to a woman stained with sin, bowed down with shame, or even burdened with a life-long sorrow. The angel and apostle of the coming revelation must be a woman, indeed, but lofty, pure, and beautiful; and wise; moreover, not through dusky grief, but the ethereal medium of joy; and showing how sacred love should make us happy, by the truest test of a life successful to such an end!

Note that last, long and ensorcelling sentence. This grand role that Hester could never play, coming “at some brighter period, when the world should have grown ripe for it, in Heaven’s own time, a new truth would be revealed, in order to establish the whole relation between man and woman on a surer ground of mutual happiness.”

Do we hear the voice of Michele Bachmann in this? Could it be that a simple, happy woman, who loves America, could lead such a confused and betwildered nation as ours? Could it be that such a woman, the voice of our most basic human values, comes to us at a time when these values are nearly lost in the corruption of modern society?

That beautiful, tender, loving voice of hers was scarcely tolerated by John King during the recent CNN Republican debate. It was clearly a man’s world intended there. She could barely get a word in, and yet many opiners say she was the star of the show! Adversaries declare her the winner. (Of course, Republican strategists say the adversaries pick to praise whom they think is the least likely to win against them.)

But, back to the prophecy.

The fact that a woman is in such a position, a woman who is gracious, lady-like, with a refulgence of kindness and love in her voice, whose spirit is apparently unoffendable, says that a certain fantasy within the American dream has indeed come to pass. Yet, if one’s voice expresses one’s spirit, we must tremble at the thought of Michele Bachmann dealing with murderous Muslims. Yet, again, her record in Congress shows she is the most consistent, the most conservative, and the most beloved of the grass roots. Strength is measured in more than the tone of one’s voice.

But, again, why are we talking about Michele Bachmann, mother of five and twenty-plus, wife of thirty one years, and seemingly perfectly normal–we should say, normative–American woman? She is in our sites because she is now running for president of the United States.

How is that possible?

Through the emasculation of the white male. It is the same abuse of “equality” that calls for the wealthy to surrender their wealth to the poor, and the strong to give up their strength to the weak. Such oddities, and outrages, always seem so safe and acceptable in America. An alien, lying, black Afrcan Communist Muslims traitor was elected president of the country. As the country verges on the dissolution of sovereignty through economic collapse, we can all see how “safe” Barry “Obama” Soetoro has been.

Next, a child will become president.

What in the world happened to the white male? Has he been asleep? Is he on dope? Can he rise again?

Hawthorne wrote a piece of fiction, in the middle of 19th century America. Perhaps women weren’t treated so well then, but they were surely treated better than Muslims treat women today. Why did Hawthorne seek to elevate an ideal woman so? What woman was so depressed in his own life? Why this profound concern?

It is an astounding prophecy he left, and it appears to have come to pass. Yet, it seems that a conservative woman is a contradiction of terms. A woman president is the overturning of all conservatism.

It is something else. It is neither conservative nor liberal. It is neither Republican nor Democrat. It is simply the displacement of the white male from American life and leadership. It will be the final overthrow of America. That’s my prophecy, wondrous, loving and loveable creature that Michele Bachmann is. America is already practically a Third World bizaare. If a woman can do a better job of leading it than a man, then America is already over. America no longer deserves the role of leadership in the world. The white American male has stepped aside. America will now step down.

    Dr. Yeagley:

    I don’t remember where or when, but I do remember hearing her publicly use the word, “DEMOCRACY” in a speech or news interview.

    In my book, that makes her just another R.I.N.O.

    She’ll sell us out, just like all the rest.

    I’m looking for a candidate that’ll strictly enforce the Constitution, and who exhibits an old fashioned Christian family morality.

    I doubt such a candidate exists.

    Due to the wickedness and ignorance of our contemporary society, I think this country is lost, and certainly, the country I grew up in is lost forever – - – , alas, “gone with the wind”.

    I won’t vote for anyone who identifies themselves as a Republican or a Democrat, for those two(?) political parties flagrantly collaborate to perpetuate the wealth and comforts of their own status quo.

    What’s left?

    Durned if I know!

    Thank you.

    Well, here’s my concern: I think children are the privilege of marriage. Marriage should be granted only if the man and woman qualify. I think there should be such a thing as sterilization. You can’t just have an aimlessly multiplied population.

    Islam is not to be dealt with at all. Deportation, travel bans, heavy measures.

    These things will never happen. It’s all one big slide down hill. It’s about making yourself as comfortable as possible on the way down.

    How depressing! Michele’s voice will charm us back to life!

  • 3 Asaph // Jun 15, 2011 at 1:56 pm   

    David, I am curious to know what you think about various strong queens who ruled in times past, or the obvious strength seen in Ellen White’s ministry.

    Thatcher?

    Strong, white American men are either carrying too much baggage and/or skeletons to be dragged out of the closets by enemies to enter the political world. That leaves the limp wrists and liars to enter ‘civil service,’ most afraid of their own shadows when it comes to the press.

    I tend to think every once in awhile America needs a Betsy Ross to come around and make people proud. Could be Bachmann is the one to get the call.

  • 4 David Yeagley // Jun 15, 2011 at 2:13 pm   

    In the case of EGW, it was the failure of several men that led to her calling, as I understand the story.

    I don’t want to say that a woman leader represents the failure of a man, somewhere. I completely idolize Joan of Arc, but, she wasn’t elected. This is a different process, isn’t it?

    There’s Florence Nightingale, Golda Meir, etc. Maybe it’s all in the time and circumstance.

    Choice, votes, and calling. How shall we distinguish these?

  • 5 Thrasymachus // Jun 15, 2011 at 2:54 pm   

    Strong white men simply are not allowed to enter the political world. Those who think otherwise are deceived.

    Political correctness is the problem here. If one expresses — just once — a politically incorrect opinion, one may well find oneself outside of the political power arena.

    It takes MONEY to prevail in politics now. If a white man expresses the wrong political opinion, he’s through; he’s out of the game. No one will put money behind someone who might express a politically incorrect opinion.

    I am sorry to say this, but it would require a revolution before white males could regain political power. Only an economic collapse of desperate proportions could possibly bring about such a revolution, be it peaceful, or violent.

    The White Male has been culturally swept aside and cannot possibly regain his position without a cultural revolution.

  • 6 Thrasymachus // Jun 15, 2011 at 3:00 pm   

    Again, I’m being pessimistic, I know. But in my opinion, the America of the Founding Fathers is no more. It doesn’t exist. There’s no way that the original America (United States) can rise again.

    When America falls (and this is only a question of time), the country will be handed to those with the money to purchase it. Already China is purchasing walled cities inside the States.

    No, the real history will once again be made in Europe. The glory days of the United States are behind us now — forever.

  • 7 Thrasymachus // Jun 15, 2011 at 3:48 pm   

    In other words, the struggle may be the same as it always was, but the country has moved very much to the Left. This means that the frame of the debate has changed. The Left decides what kind of “conservative” is “respectable” and “responsible.” Thus Conservatism itself has been put into this Left-leaning straight-jacket. Therefore, nothing short of a major revolution could possibly restore the values of the original WASP founders.

    The Left controls the debate. Politics as usual cannot prevail in restoring the country to “Original Intent,” meaning the original interpretation and understanding of the U.S. Constitution.

    The founding American Culture has been “deconstructed” — criticized — by the Left for decades now, and this means that the country has grown old before its time. Come what may, it will be something new, replacing what was.

    The White Man is presently too weary and worn out to fight to reclaim his original position in the U.S. However, there may be a ray of hope for Europe, as the claim to Europe ancestry has very deep roots and may possibly be brought to life and vigor if the scourge of Islam becomes a burden too great to bear. Who can say?

  • 8 David Yeagley // Jun 15, 2011 at 4:36 pm   

    In that context then, why not try a woman. Can’t be worse than a alien, lying, black African Communist Muslim traitor, can it?
    It’s all about entertainment now. Sensationalism. Media.

    I think Bachmann is as serious as she can be, though. We all know the only thing the clown presiding was never serious about anything but a legacy of deconstruction of America.

    Bachmann’s not about that.

    I hear love in her voice. That’s pretty unique. I wonder if you can bet on something like that? I know, it’s all in an imaginary realm, sincere politics, that is. But, we have to do the best we can with what we have. We have to figth to the last man, or woman, so to speak. The revolution is not now. Maybe later. But, for now, for 2012, and even before, we should at least try to do the best we can with what we have, no?

  • 9 Thrasymachus // Jun 15, 2011 at 5:23 pm   

    “But, for now, for 2012, and even before, we should at least try to do the best we can with what we have, no?” — David Yeagley

    Agreed. Bushman is an attractive and charismatic woman and certainly is better than any candidate of the John McCain variety.

    Pardon my saying this, but the candidates the Republican Party has run for president since Ronald Reagan are such men as walk on eggshells — afraid to say anything clear and direct, so as not to offend and thereby be rejected. Reagan was, in my opinion, the last real Republican man to occupy the White House (and, though I voted for him, even he disappointed me — the MLK “holiday.”) Those since him have been weak and puppet-like.

    Yes, a woman of strength and character is our best choice at this point, I do believe.

  • 10 Thrasymachus // Jun 15, 2011 at 5:24 pm   

    Bachmann, I meant to type!

  • 11 Sioux // Jun 15, 2011 at 6:22 pm   

    White men aren’t stepping aside – they’re being pushed aside, out, down the mountain. In the last two years, I have seen all but one of the men leading my organization forced out and replaced by very lesser women. It’s not good at all.

    So, the lesser of many evils again to choose. I am troubled by Bachman calling our country a democracy. If she really believes that, then she’s worse than a RINO – alas, it’s not that, but what is it? She is a lawyer. She’s read the Constitution. So why? Hillary says the same thing, that this is a democracy and we need to do away with the Electoral College.

    Barry Soetoro has set the bar in the mud, so just about anybody can now say that they’re qualified to run for POTUS. Take a look at Allen West – I think he gets it.

    “White men aren’t stepping aside – they’re being pushed aside, out, down the mountain.” — Sioux

    Thanks for stating this truth clearly and directly and boldly, Sioux! Since it was the white male who wrote the Declaration and the Constitution and the First Laws of the new country, the Leftist conquerors naturally are virulently anti-white-male, as well as anti-Christian.

    God bless,

    IMO there are paid trolls on every forum there or least monitored.

    IMO there would be not one women heading a State, or being a Representative, if decent men would run for office.

    IMO decent intelligent won’t run, because they to submit to lies and worse from day one.

    Mexico, several other countries seek to halt Georgia’s new anti-illegal immigration law

    By Jeremy Redmon
    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    The Anti-Defamation League, Mexico and the governments of several Central and South American countries filed court papers Wednesday in support of efforts to halt Georgia’s tough new immigration enforcement law.
    The other countries joining on the side of those seeking a preliminary injunction in the case include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru.

    The American Civil Liberties Union, the Southern Poverty Law Center and several other civil and immigrant rights groups filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Georgia’s law this month and are now asking a judge to halt the measure pending the outcome of their case. They argue the measure – also known as House Bill 87 – is preempted by federal law and is unconstitutional.

    Indeed, David! God called two men, one of them black, before He called teenager Ellen Harmon. The point is, God did chose a female for the role of messenger to believers, much like other female prophets in Scripture. Being such an important role, if God has confidence in women for some leadership positions, why would females in politics be a bad thing. Have I not seen a new book out about Terrible Twos being elected to office? Maybe they need a strong mother up there to put some of these whiners and wicked little monsters in their place. Time out for Congress! No new laws for four years. Making Congress apologize for their foolishness and selfishness to others, and picking up their toys – rescinding plenty of laws not Constitutional in nature.

    Won’t happen, but it’s a pleasant thought.

    As far as a calling, Bachmann does keep referring to her run in those terms.

    As far as Bachmann saying America is a Democracy, I have heard her say Republic before, especially in interviews on NewsMax, as I recall. America is not a pure democracy, but it is one nonetheless. Citizens are equal, and have freedom to choose leaders.

  • 18 Edwin M. Wright // Jun 16, 2011 at 8:09 am   

    Equal men are not free, and Free men are not equal.

  • 19 David Yeagley // Jun 16, 2011 at 9:04 am   

    I was taught (growing up) that America was a republican FORM of “democracy.”

    There is no such thing as a pure “democracy.” We have dimensions of it. Whenever people vote, that’s called democracy. Consensus, group think, whatever. Communism, theoretically, purports to be a more pure democracy. However, that is therory. In practice, Communism is pure dictatorship and tyranny. A horrible, horrible thing, communism–as manifested in virtually every case known in world history.

  • 20 Asaph // Jun 16, 2011 at 10:47 am   

    Pure democracy is majority rule. Never has been a time when such a system was put in place, and certainly if it was it never worked.

    Edwin, why do you say free men are not equal (one vote equals one vote) and equal men are not free?

    I certainly know dozens of basic freedoms Americans once had are gone now. Still, everybody on planet earth wants to come here to be free and make some money if they can.

    Just some thoughts to add to your interesting article and comments here.

    I question the need or purpose of putting women in combat positions or of a rank where they have to lead men.
    Do they meet the exact same qualifications as men? Or is their training modified to make them “feel” equal?
    It’s not like American civilians like us have any say, anyway.
    The New Age American Gov’t is going to bring all the social experiments that we endure into the ranks whether it works or not.

    The DoD can cover up any shortcomings or failings.
    It’s ok, to be unfit, unqualified, sexually deviant and confused, or even of a radial religion (Ft Hood perpetrator) but soldiers, be careful when you go into battle to do what you were trained to do: Court marital is becoming the new norm for warriors who dare fight back in combat.
    (talk to any enlisted in training and they will tell you how crippling the Rules of Engagement have become)
    Our military now go into foreign countries and teach the people how to floss their teeth and build a better hovel. While their lives are still at risk.
    Nothing surprises me anymore.

    Michele Bachmann:I liked her the first time I heard her speak on a FNC segment. She is not ashamed of her convictions.
    I watched her stand FIRMLY in her beliefs and ideals during the John King hosted event.
    She did not dodge questions…I believe that she will RISK political capital putting forth her firm convictions knowing that what people want is someone with strength and courage not a changling that blows about with every challenge.
    Can a woman win a presidential election?
    Would male Evangelical Christians vote for her?
    Would Blacks vote for her?
    Independent, single moms?

    My only fear is putting forth an otherwise good candidate that loses to some single issue segment of our society and handing the marixst occupier another 4 years of destruction and partying on our shrinking dime.
    The men in the debate did not impress me.
    Maybe I’m just sick of career politicans?

    Michele Bachmann appears calm, focused, and unafraid. And she does not want to lose our America.

    American Men: Being pushed aside is one thing–allowing themselves to be pushed aside is the problem. Why not push back?

    The socialist experiment worked. You have only to look at advertising to know that men landed exactly where our society drove them to over the last 40 years.
    Can’t blame it all on outside circumstances; ultimately each man faces himself in he mirror and either asks the right questions or walks away with no sense of the consequences.

    If we truly believe that God has a hand in the destiny of His America, then we need to ponder the fact that he may use a woman to to accomplish His goals.

  • 25 Thrasymachus // Jun 17, 2011 at 2:41 pm   

    “Can a woman win a presidential election?”

    At this point in time, I believe that the answer is “Yes.”

    “Would male Evangelical Christians vote for her?

    I believe that many would.

    “Would Blacks vote for her?”

    No. 90% of Blacks will not vote for a white candidate against Obama.

    “Independent, single moms?”

    I do not know.

    “American Men: Being pushed aside is one thing–allowing themselves to be pushed aside is the problem. Why not push back?”

    This is no longer possible, because the media have an agenda in which they are determined to make America a nation not dominated by Christians or Whites or Men. The Liberal doctrine is that the nation is best served by a highly diverse population of competing special interest groups. Liberals do not want any one group to hold absolute sway in any nation. They fear that this will make possible the rise of “another Hitler.”

    Adolf Hitler was a Leftist — a socialist. He was NOT right-wing. But the Liberals refuse to allow this fact. It spoils the image Liberals like to present of themselves.
