Are we really that stupid?

While the Middle-East falls apart our government is debating bills on indecency, homosexuality and abortion all while waging a war against the New York Times. Meanwhile in some real wars; Israel is on the verge of wiping out Palestine, Iraq has fallen even further into civil war and the Taliban has resurrected themselves in Afghanistan.

Surely this year the "values" voters are going to look beyond the fabricated bullshit and see the issues they really need to vote on. If this becomes yet another referendum on gay marriage I'm going to seriously contemplate moving to a progressive country like Turkmenistan.
