11. If I had the power, I'd send them to live in a world without all of the people they hate and fear…

They'd never have to worry about liberals, feminists, non-Christians, minorities, immigrants and people who think that being armed to the teeth is both unnecessary and insane.

They can have all the guns they'd want, churchify themselves until they're blue in the face, outlaw all abortions while reaping the consequences of doing so and practice as much predatory Capitalism without a safety net as they could possibly withstand.

They can let the polluters pollute to their heart's content, because there wouldn't be an EPA. They can let the bankers rip them off until their last penny and let them figure out who's going to harvest the cops going fallow in the fields and performing every single thankless job under the sun for a pittance, all without any Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Consumer Protection and whatever else they don't want.

They can forget about things like food stamps and a living wage, their entire world is one big Right To Work Zone, and they can build a mile-high fence around themselves that keeps everything that's in, in, and everything that's out, out.

And they never have to worry about any Democrats or Liberal parties, because there won't be any… Not to mention, intellectuals, scientists, educators, labor and civil rights activists, pacifists, artists and a wide variety of free thinking, unafraid people who feel that individual rights and collective responsibilities are NOT mutually exclusive either.

It would be a right wing paradise, with Rush Limbaugh and Fox News telling them all how great they'd have it.

And I'd do that as favor to them… Only because I'm such a nice guy.
