If the GOP's base wants to turn their Jesusland states into shit holes then fuck it, let 'em do just that. Blockade their borders, too, so the contagion stays put. Let them have Mullah Billybob on the TeeVee all day long and let them pray away the gay and shout their exceptionalism until they're hoarse from it.

Other days I recognize that we'd have to bomb the shit out of them, if only for self protection. Damn.
