But my knee-jerk response is that they'd just blame their woes on the atheists, or the jews, or women, or whatever. Glenn Beck and his ilk will still be convincing them that the lefties are pulling them down.<br /><br />Here's what I'd rather see. We just split up.

Go figure. Maybe they're masochists.S.M.
