Michele Bachmann is such a fan of faith-based initiatives that Bachmann and Associates, the Christian counseling center she co-owns with her husband, has received $30,000 in Minnesota state funds over the past three years. It’s a place where, according to Dr. Marcus Bachmann, Jesus Christ is the “Almighty Counselor.”

Comes now the Park51 Islamic cultural center with an application to the Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Corporation for some $5 million in public funds to provide “all the residents of Lower Manhattan” with “domestic violence prevention, Arabic and other foreign language classes,
programs and services for homeless veterans, two multi-cultural art
exhibits and immigration services.”

Perhaps not surprisingly, Bachmann is less than happy about that particular initiative. “Outrageous to even consider federal funds go to building a mosque at Ground Zero,” tweets she.
