This is so wrong, in so many ways. Wars are being fought over resources, the price of oil is going up, and various countries were worried when China decided to limit the amount of rare earth they would export. Just... NO.

We need to stop electing these hardcore Christian Republicans (Michelle Bachmann).

Normally when people suffer from delusions that endanger themselves or others, they are involuntarily committed to a hospital.

Fundamentalist Christians? They're suffering from a delusion that sometimes makes them want to mess up the entire country. Shouldn't this pass the test?
