Can we just ship the fundies to Saudi Arabia and be done with them? Do these fanatics have anything positive to contribute to society?

I use them as food for my Wolf army. They are also good to use as tables, and chairs, and all sorts of furniture actually. They are as easy to control as a man who has been water boarded for weeks.
Edit 1:Whoops! Thought fundies meant those fucks who abuse gays. Sorry!

Edit 2: The term you probably should have used was "gullible dumbasses."

Edit 3: Oh wait, fundies ARE the fucks who abuse gays. I feel sorry to be a Christian because of them.

The difference is the fundies are directly causing harm to people.

Does hypocrisy improve the taste?

"Jesus loves everyone...not you though, you're going to hell unless you change everything about you and live exactly how we tell you."

To be honest, normally you could ignore people like these. The trouble, as demonstrated in the OP, is that some of these fundamentalist assholes can influence policy that affects us all. In this case, the assholes are directly responsible for the deaths of 9 children. If I were a totalitarian dictator, I'd hold them responsible and have them thrown in jail.

Yeah, if by "Europe" you mean the "European Union".

At least they don't murder and kidnap gays over there. They respect something called "human rights". One area where Europe > USA quite well.

The illegals are causing direct harm, too, but when I say ship them all to Mexico, I get my ass ripped by you bleeding hearts.

That was a bit of hyperbole on my part, so no, it wouldn't.

There is a difference however. Homosexuality, contrary to what Michelle Bachmann and her reeducation camp-running husband believe, is not a choice. At some point, the fundies chose to be assholes and force their views on everyone else, knowing, hoping it would silence kids of a homosexual persuasion and aware it could lead to harassment. They justified it by saying "Well, you're being harassed because you're gay. Stop being gay now." Religion and ignorance are not valid excuses, especially not when kids start killing themselves.

Honestly, I think none of this is a conscious choice. It is the subconscious ruling. I could no sooner be gay than I could be a leftist, it would just not seem right to me. Because of the way I was raised and influenced, I find my semi-fascism and straigtness ideal. The only way that can be changed is for government to interfer with both of those, and I believe we can agree that the government telling us how to be raised is a bad idea.

All the more reason for religion to stay the hell out of government.

You noticed how you couldn't choose to be gay, right? These fundamentalists believe that homosexuality is a choice, that if kids become aware of it, some will just go out and try it on a whim. This is obviously incorrect, yet they influence politics in destructive ways regardless.

Nice place if you're a devoutly religious fellow.

Bad if you're literally anyone else.

No. It's a nice place if a devoutly Muslim fellow.

I personally say balkanize the country and let the fundies and the fairies (done only for alliterative appeal, not to insult) choose where to go. As well as the fascist and the Frenchies. Etc, etc...

Oh, you meant FEDERAL government. I suppose, but it wouldn't work out well. IIRC, rivers were literally bursting into flames before the EPA.

I support a government with a narrow range of powers (EPA, economy...maybe FDA), but with ultimate power in those eras.
