So you have an issue with the media calling the DPRK a "country?" Shouldn't you focus your energy on more important things?

Yes, Cappy, anyone with any care of human rights would have an issue calling North Korea a country rather than a Concentration Camp. Unless torture, stravation via overwork nor experimentation on humans is not an "issue" to you.

Gotta agree more concentration camp than country. When the law of a place allows for punishment to the third generation you're not a country. Your grandfather commits a minor infraction. One that would not even be against the law in 99% of all countries and he, your grand mother, their children and all their grandchildren spend life in a "labor camp". You're in a concentration camp, in fact you were born in the camp because of something your grandfather did before you were even born.

Ok. So what are you doing to help the people of North Korea that you appear to care so much about? Exactly. Forgive me, but I get a bit tired of phony outrage.

Kurt:

Many young black man railroaded throught justice system and endless returns to prison system. For the US is North Korea. You may get offended with my remarks but I am sure you are for the truth first.

IDGC, no need to bring the Race Card regarding the Concentration Camps in North Korea. You must have a deck of Race Cards for you play them often. If you think the Prison System in the US is even remotely like the Concentration Camps in North Korea, you are very naive at best. Even the Prisons in Mexico are better than the Concentration Camps in North Korea and dare I say even the Prisons in Venezuela under Chavez (cutting it close on that one). Many members of my family would have chosen ANY US Prison over the Vietnamese "Re-Education Camps" from 1975 to 1991 if they had a choice where to have their Communist Propanganda "Re-Education".

Nhan Quyen Cho Viet Nam! Human Rights for Vietnam! ...and North Korea

Thanks Cappy, some suggestions where one can be involved regarding North Korea

Living under Communist Depotism in one country (Viet Nam) allows for real outrage of Communist Despotism in another country (North Korea). So Cappy, no need of YOUR "phony Outage" against people who show REAL outrage of Communist Despotism.

Phony outrage love it.

Same as with a man, depending on the politics of that woman. With Bachmann, we would have had a much more limited government and more business friendly giving a boost to our stagnated economy instead of the current government expansion, over regulation, and yet higher deficit spending of the current regime.

Sort of like saying, wonder what it would have been like with a Norwegian in the White House if Mondale had won in 1984? No matter if woman or Norwegian heritage, it is the politics of the one in the White House that matters.

I think that's a poor analogy. Unlike different nationalities, there actually are significant differences between the way women and men think (generally speaking, of course).

For example, women are less likely to engage in risky behavior due to their lower testosterone levels. This is a major reason women engage in less violent crime than men do. On the other hand, women tend to have higher rates of mental illness, but this isn't reflected in crime statistics because they respond to it differently then men do.

Quite a Rosy picture of Bachammistan. I see mandatory government selected prayer in schools and in the work place, Camps for re-education camps for gays. Internment of all Muslim Americans. A economy destroyed by enormous military spending and continuous wars.

Ummm you might want to watch any youtube video labeled black friday sale.

Very skewed sense of reality my friend. But then again this is newsvine.

Devil's Son, Can you post your link in which Bachmann stated she wanted to "see mandatory government elected prayer in schools and in the work place, Camps for re-education camps for gays. Internment of all Muslim Americans."? Just because Christ is outlawed from being mentioned in Public Schools does not mean Bachmann or anyone else will "mandate government elected prayer in schools and in the work place"

BTW, Bachmann does not speak Urdu "Stan" mean land in Urdu. Should we call Obama"Obamastan"? After all, he is ACTUALLY MANDATING Gov Healthcare against our will (or a fine) within the next year. Bachmann made no such mandate, but rather is against any MANDATES in Gov Healthcare.

."I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now.

"Why should I go and do something like that? But the Lord says, 'Be submissive wives; you are to be submissive to your husbands."

"I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out: Are they pro-America or anti-America?" -Rep. Michelle Bachmann, calling for a new McCarthyism, Oct. 2008

"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, on the 1976 Swine Flu outbreak that happened when Gerald Ford, a Republican, was president, April 28, 2009

"If we took away the minimum wage -- if conceivably it was gone -- we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level."

"But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States. ... I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forbearers who worked tirelessly -- men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, botching American history while speaking at an Iowan's for Tax Relief event in January 2011. The Founding Fathers did not work to end slavery, and John Quincy Adams was not one of the Founding Fathers.

“Never before in the history of the country have we seen this level of leaks coming out, but at the same time there’s also a parallel track of influence from the Muslim Brotherhood in the highest levels of the federal government, and we think that we need to get answers to these questions,”

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said merely floating the idea that Huma Abedin — a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — has family ties to the radical Middle East group is “pretty dangerous.”

“I don’t know Huma, but from everything I do know of her, she has a sterling character,” Boehner told reporters Thursday. “And I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous.” Later on CNN, Boehner said he expects to speak to Bachmann soon.

The Republican backlash against Bachmann started with Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) statement on the Senate floor Wednesday, saying she had made “sinister accusations.”

Rep. Jeff Flake, a conservative Arizona lawmaker running for Senate, tweeted “Kudos to @SenJohnMcCain for his statement on Senate floor yesterday defending Clinton aide. Well said.”

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) added: “Rep. Bachmann’s accusations about Sec. Clinton aide Huma Abedin are out-of-line. This kind of rhetoric has no place in our public discourse.”

According to an article in the Stillwater Gazette, a local newspaper in Minnesota, Bachmann supports the teaching of creationism alongside evolution in public school science classes.^[150] During a 2003 interview on the KKMS Christian radio program Talk The Walk, Bachmann said that evolution is a theory that has never been proven one way or the other. She co-authored a bill (that received no additional endorsement among her fellow legislators) that would require public schools to include alternative explanations for the origin of life as part of the state's public school science curricula. In October 2006, Bachmann told a debate audience in St. Cloud, Minnesota "there is a controversy among scientists about whether evolution is a fact or not.... There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent design." However, at least one news report, presenting a "sampling of Bachmann's ... ludicrous or plain old false claims", stated that this was untrue, and that "when the science isn't on [Bachmann's] side, she simply improvises."

Bachmann has praised the Christian youth ministry You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International (YCRBYCH), hailing "the group's work of sharing the gospel in public schools".

Bachmann has called for phasing out Social Security and Medicare:

...what you have to do, is keep faith with the people that
are already in the system, that don't have any other options, we have to keep faith with them. But basically what we have to do is wean everybody else off

May be no one told you that God of Bible is dead.

The new God is so big that just in our galaxy (if u know what it is) has 100 Billion stars and a black hole in the middle that is 100 million star size.

Now go figure.

IDGC, same "God", the God of the Bible created the entire Universe, ...unless you believe EVERYTHING comes from NOTHING.. now that is "faith". Sort of like an entire Jumbo Jet just appeared out of nothing without creators, designers and manufacturers.

That "god of the Bible" also created everything out of nothing. BTW what created god. No you can't answer he always was.

Have you actually read the bible. If you take that stuff as fact you have a mental issue. Im not saying god isn't real. I'm just saying if you believe the stories your an idiot.

It's really FUNNY to see the young 20-30 year old S Koreans who decry the 'dictatorship' of the president elect's father. One reason they hate the president elect, Park, is that the old dictator is her father. And these young ones grew up in a free/democracy society not much different from other western countries, never experiencing what a real dictatorship is.

And than you have the old 50-60 year old voters who absolutely lover her, and these old ones actually lived under the 'dictatorship'.

The ones who actually lived under the 'dictator' actually know he made a difference for the nation, in a very positive way.

One trademark of dictators is how they amass obscene amount of wealth. You don't hear any of that of the Park family. That alone is enough for me not to call Park a 'dictator'.

At least they don't go around the world blowing them selves up.

Never married and no kids. That's why.

Although NEITHER the Party of the Donkey nor Elephant is no where close to the Despotism of Kim Jong Un. With Kim Jong Un total control of the economy and ONLY "rich" (super rich at that) are the Gov Officials that show 100% loyalty in kowtowing to Kim, is "closer" to the Party of the Donkey than the Party of the Elephant.

To even consider Kim Jong Un as "is so" to either party is to be very naive about Communist Despotism at best

Some women just can't not afford to work. Often guys like Bill Clinton once get power and money dump his high school sweetheart and marry little prima donna,

I am nto going to judge woman who chose to work. She may have her own reasons. There is no universal formula.

Chirs:

I do not know what is "7"?

The lady seems very capable and her country people like her.

Hey dude this is not a movie. It is running a country that is quite rich , technologically advanced with sophisticated culture and entrepreneurship.

Scale from 1 to 10... No it's not a movie, but we have the same problem in the US, they really need to clean out some of these awful looking politicians.

I guess that means you can't run for president.

In my two woman household I did a lot of surrendering and apologising.
