Don't be so sure, Robbin. People on a mission from God generally aren't amenable to reason.

"If God be for us, who dare to be against us?"

The answer is "Satan", my friend.

I mean what kind of guy wants America to fail?

The kind who sees the American experiment as a failed idea already. They want to tear it down and rebuild in the manner they see as fit.

Lately, I've been hearing some righty in the wingnuttery bleating that, "Uhmerica isn't a democracy! It's a republic!" Sheesh. Don't these effin' idjits own a dictionary?

By the way - I did not know what the abbreviation GOP stands for. So I asked almighty Wikipedia and they offered among other things "Government of Pakistan".

Those crazy mofos in Pakistan have nuthin' on the religulous right here in the Grand Old Party. They don't have the organizational skills or the money.

At least in Pakistan they aren't trying to hurry up the end of the world.
