By running for president, Bachmann is going against these views. The bible says that women shouldn’t ever have dominion over men in anything. According to Paul, women shouldn’t be leaders of any kind if it means possible telling men what to do. It’s not just about husbands, it’s all men. These people are the ideological American Taliban.

Except that Bachmann IS running for president, and anyone who finds that ideologically problematic is going to have to make one of two choices: refudiate her on those grounds, or do the Bryan Fischer thing, and discover that sometimes, in extreme hours of need, God might appoint a woman to lead (see, Esther, Deborah, Judith, etc.).

So it will be interesting to see what they do, but they are not the voting majority. The voting majority will find the whole submission factor a little weird, hence, Bachmann is playing it down.
