Yep. Sounds about right. Ayn Rand wrote the Constitution right?

Whenever a guy starts broadcasting that he's a Christian so that's why he's a Republican, its time to have someone start following him around. 90% of the time they either have a mistress on the side that they're engaged in bondage with (Greitens in MO) or they're toe tapping men in the airport bathroom.

Herps gonna derp.
Money shot from the Comments:
"Those who murdered their own dreams will encourage you to do the same."
Late Stage Knuckledragger superficially appears to be violent, but much more than that he is pathetic. These are frozen adolescents who spent a lifetime forcing themselves to be an image they saw on teevee, or desperately trying to Earn Daddy's Respect for an image that he saw on teevee. A model created to sell beer and cars.
These people have had a lost weekend that has lasted fifty years. Hopefully it doesn't pass to their sons, but just like the generational cycle of domestic violence, their sons are probably doomed to repeat it. Particularly since Madison Avenue (a bunch of Metrosexual liberals in NYC, ironically) can still make money by jamming it down their eager little throats.

And yet you guys feel the need to develop college programs to convince everyone (and maybe yourselves?) that you're masculine, too?

You could not have proven my point better.
Dead Old Pio was right. When the flack comes you know you're over the target.
But to spell it out for you: we are the Bene Gesserit (Oh God! More women?!). We comb the vast empty stretches of lowing cattle searching for the few humans. When we find them, we offer to rescue them.
That's no threat to you. Be at peace, and may you may you rest in a deep and dreamless slumber.

Can you think of any reason a sane person would want to live in Kansas? Because I sure can't.

Re: The States: Doing Their Own Thing...
Why?
Honestly when I hear that any state has a $1.4 billion surplus of "revenue" over taxes, I want to scream. Government isn't a business where the goal is maximize revenue. Our target should be that revenue meets, or maybe just slightly exceeds, our expenditures.
The way the governor and legislature should operate is figure how much money is an appropriate amount to spend in the state each year, through compromise generally, then figure out how that money will be raised through the combination of taxes/fees, etc..., used to generate revenue for the state.
If we only did budgets and had the legislature meet every 10 years or so, then yes having some money in the bank or having a surplus to cover us for unexpected economic downturns over the next ten years would be nice and even appropriate. But we don't have that. If the economy goes in the tank, we don't need $1.4 billion sitting in the bank. The legislature can adjust it's taxes or spending accordingly.
The problem with the state having $1.4 billion sitting around is the same problem with me having $1.4 billion sitting around. Pretty good chance I'm going to spend large chunks of it on stuff I probably didn't need in the first place. And with a state, most expenditures are not one time expenses. Once you start spending money on a program, pretty good chance that program is with you for the long haul.

Re: The States: Doing Their Own Thing...
Why? The last time they did this they destroyed the credit rating of the state.
Why do they need a surplus? Common Sense. They are the largest business in the state and they need that surplus to assure that if there is an economic recession they are able to stay operational. The number one thing you need during an economic recession is money. If they drain the rainy day fund, and there is a recession they will not have the funds they need for a stimulus.
Basic common sense.
I love it when my state has money laying around. That's a good thing. I don't want to live in ****ing Kansas.
