Has America's Right Wing Finally Found Its Place In The Sun?

Regular readers of this blog know that I've struggled over the years to find a new country for members of the American Radicalized Right, who need to re-locate given their open hatred for the United States and its people.  The problem, of course, is that pretty much every industrialized country has universal health care, so they obviously couldn't move to one of those.  I usually just settled on Haiti as the default nation to which these extremists could re-locate.

But thanks to recent comments by two members of the American Taliban -- Larry Pratt and Selwyn Duke -- it now appears to me that Ghana might be just the place for members of the Radicalized Right to call their new home (h/t JB):

Conservative gun lobbyist Larry Pratt recommended during a recent radio broadcast that U.S. blacks could get a better “attitude” if they paid attention to “Africans from Africa” who he said were more “happy.”

On the Gun Owner’s News Hour show last month, American Thinker writer Selwyn Duke told Pratt, who is the executive director of Gun Owners of America, in a shocked tone that he had discovered that the best Catholic priests were from Africa.

“Africa! Intelligent Men with PhDs,” Duke noted. “And generally the African from Africa is a very pro-American person, a very happy person,” Pratt opined. “I know several. And they always just happy with a joke, pleasant smile on their face. And they clearly don’t identify with the surliness that’s all too frequently the attitude of their fellow African-Americans here.”

“And they’re very conservative politically,” he continued. “The country of Ghana, it’s still illegal to commit an abortion, it’s illegal to be a homosexual. Very conservative social laws and very free market oriented as well.”  Duke agreed and pointed out that the types of Africans that could afford to come to the U.S. were of “a better stripe.”

Let's tally this up: ultra-conservative Catholic priests, no legalized abortion, homosexuality outlawed, no pesky regulations on business.  Sounds like a right-wing paradise.

Larry and Selwyn (if that is his real name) should move there immediately.  The only drawback for the Radical Right is that Ghana is full of black people.  But, according to Pratt, they are happier, more intelligent, less surly black people, so that should be okay, right?
