Cute-as-a-button young Ezra asks some adorable little questions:
One political question about the Ground Zero Islamic complex/mosque/theater-space/swimming pool: Why are Republicans trumpeting this? And why, a week or two ago, did they start talking about the 14th amendment?....
So what's the truth here? Is the mosque -- and the social issues more generally -- driven by elites? Or by rank-and-file? Does the GOP want to talk about the social issues because they prefer it to talking about the economy or because they don't feel like they have a choice?
Like this is a mystery.
Republicans, from base to Newt, really, genuinely, actually, and are for true crazy bigoted ignorant assholes who will talk any sort of lunatic paranoid crap if they dimly sense it might just help them get elected so they can start nonsense wars and wreck the country in accordance with a preposterous halfwit ideology.
Where the fuck have you been, son?
Oh wait. In the land where you can even imagine such questions, apparently. Forget I said anything.
Gah. Gah! GAH!
