Slouching Toward Conservistan: The 'Exodus Strategy'
June 5, 2015

The closer we get to a Supreme Court decision on same sex marriage, the more shrilly the sounds from extremists on the right. They're predicting the end of days, the return of Hitler resurrected from the dead, and more.

Joseph Farah took to the pages of WorldNutDaily Thursday to call for brave secessionists to do battle with the Great Gay Satan.

“We need a Promised Land. We need an Exodus strategy,” Farah wrote. “Are there any governors or legislatures out there among the 50 states willing to secede to offer a refuge for the God-fearing?”

If not, Farah says that foreign nations that prohibit same-sex marriage should prepare for “a pilgrimage by millions of Americans” fleeing marriage equality.

Is there one state in 50 that would not only defy the coming abomination, but secede in response? The rewards could be great. I would certainly consider relocating. How about you?

The founders of this country found a place of refuge in America and shaped it into the greatest self-governing nation in the history of world. Just think what one state could do if it simply stuck to the principles that made this country great? Americans wouldn’t have to cross an ocean to rediscover what brought most of our ancestors here. We could simply drive.

Are any states so inclined?

I haven’t heard this question raised by anyone else. So I’m raising it now. We don’t have much time before the nine high priests in black robes decide to follow Baal instead of the One True God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

We need a Promised Land. We need an Exodus strategy.

Of course, child molestation doesn't rank as high on Farah's list of evils as gay marriage does, unless he can falsely claim that LGBT people are also child molesters.

Have you ever seen such absurd and irrational fear as this? It's laughable.
