What the fuck can you say to these people? Nothing. Through the magic of Facebook, I've "reconnected" with former high-school classmates from Mobile, Alabama. So now I get an opportunity to look into the bizarre worldview of the paranoid, right-wing, Southern, Christian conservatives. There seems to be a sizable minority who share a violent, delusional, paranoid, fantasy that they constitute an underground movement of armed patriots -- prepared to rise up in violent revolution against the tyrannical dictator.

It's fucking ridiculous. Half of these idiots have college degrees. Most of them seemed to be normal citizens when we were growing up together long ago.

They "share" these ridiculous pictures on Facebook with each other that contain "clever" and "subtle" hints to the coming "revolution".

What the fuck is wrong with these nitwits?
