Mike Beard, a Republican state representative from Minnesota, recently argued that coal mining should resume in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, in part because he believes God has created an earth that will provide unlimited natural resources.

"God is not capricious. He's given us a creation that is dynamically stable," Beard told MinnPost. "We are not going to run out of anything.

Thank you, Mr. Beard, for reminding me why I am not only no longer a Republican, but also an agnostic. Furthermore, the best scientific evidence indicates that you are dead wrong. Finally, you are an idiot.

It's that fundamentalist Christians can be made to vote as a bloc by dangling a fetus-shaped carrot in front of them. Whacking them on the butt with a stick and telling them that it's the threat of surprise buttsex from Teh Evul Gays also works pretty well.

If you rile them up enough you can get them to give lots of money for shiny television ads with waving flags and vague militaristic overtones, which will then make the part of our country that's not terribly religious but who think that anything's good as long as it involves giving something associated with the military a blowjob to also vote as part of the same bloc.

You asked.
