Bachmann: Hi, My name is
Michele Bachmann.
I’m here at
Liberty University. I’ve just finished speaking to the student
body for
their convocation. It’s over 13,000 students that were in the
basketball arena. It was a thrill to be able to be here and the
crux of
my remarks was on the subject of ‘don’t settle.’
Don’t settle in your
spiritual life. Don’t settle in your personal life. Don’t
settle with
your career goals. And as a nation we
can’t settle either. We see that our nation is on the ropes right
now –
on the ropes economically, with very high unemployment, our
housing values are down. But we are also on the ropes when it
comes to
foreign policy. There are threats that are coming all across the
world
and we
need to stand up and stand with our ally Israel and stand against our
enemy like a nuclear Iran. Those are part of the remarks that I
gave
today. This isn’t a time for settling.
About three weeks ago I started
to hear the mantra of ‘anybody but Obama. We need to make sure
that the
conservatives stand next to the wall and get behind the moderate
candidate.’
This is not the year to get behind the moderate. Of any
time in
history, this is the election when conservatives can have it all.
We
can have someone who will stand for life and for marriage, stand up for
Israel,
stand up for national security, stand up for our brave men and women in
the military, someone who will stand for strong fiscal policy, who will
be
committed to repealing Obamacare, who will build the fence on the
southern border, who will make sure that we don’t have magnets to bring
illegal aliens across that border, I will do all of that as Commander
in Chief and more. As your president I want you to know, I won’t
settle.
