This is what one-party rule looks like when that party is made up of religious (Xian) assholes

This is the Christian Republican Party that Barry Goldwater warned us against decades ago. Every single evil, prejudice and bigotry of today's Republican Party finds its root directly in the conservative interpretation of the Bible.

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me.

Goldwater
