If You Are a Republican And Are Looking To Move To Another Country . . .

. . . well, I guess I couldn't blame you.

As I recently wrote, what a horrible week for the GOP. Yesterday, the one person Republicans hate the most -- President Obama -- won a huge victory on his health care reform law, cementing his legacy and handing the GOP a demoralizing defeat.  Radical right-wingers are watching in horror this week as confederate flags come down across the country.  And as if to add insult to injury, the Supreme Court upheld gay marriage this morning.

Well, all is not lost, Republicans. As I posted last year, there is a place for folks like you who no longer feel comfortable here in the United States. It's a place where they hate gay people, a place where government refuses to lift a finger to help its citizens acquire health care, a place without abortion, and yes, a place where the free market reigns supreme without any pesky regulations to hold it down.

That place is Ghana, and it sounds like a Republican paradise:

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.”

Republicans who now hate America more than ever should relocate to Ghana immediately.  As I wrote last year:

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?

Have a nice trip, folks. Please forget to write.

CORRECTION:  Well, you better stop packing your bags, Republicans.  I wrote above that the government of Ghana "refuses to lift a finger to help its citizens acquire health care."  That statement was not factual.  Ghana, it turns out, has a universal health care system in place.  I apologize for the error.
