Australia got all the criminals, America got the Puritans.
By all accounts Australia got the better deal.

The thought that occurred to me was how in the fuck did one small boatload of religious assholes fuck up such a huge country????
I've seen the replica of the Mayflower and actually been on it. Also I have read history books and know about the Puritans and how many of them there were on that ship. So my question still is: How in the fuck did such a small number of religious assholes fuck up a country as big as ours???? Part of the answer is other religious assholes took some of the Puritan ideas and ran with them and are still running with them. Some of them actually out-Puritan the Puritans. Other than their whining about the "War on Christmas" as the Puritans didn't celebrate Christmas.
My question still remains. How in the fuck did such a small group of religious assholes fuck up a country this big???
K,
ReplyDeleteThe fucking zealots aren't a small group anymore - the cell-divided and mutated! Now, we have these far right thumpers that seek to change Amerca into a damned theocracy.
Well, guess what? That cross on the riverfront thing that the idiots with the city approved just got permantly blocked by a US Federal judge right her in the River City!

ReplyDeleteReligious assholes (fucking idiots), no matter what religion they are, have fucked up every country they have ever been in.
The problem with the boat load was it was followed by a great many more boatloads. and they were fruitful and multiplied even as their brain cells atrophied.
ReplyDeleteBut not all of those boatloads that came after were Puritans. Even the first boatload was only half Puritans. My point was how could a handful of zealots fuck up a country this big, especially when other countries that were invaded by colonists aren't so obsessed with repressing sex.
