America
I try not to be too dramatic, but Kansas has become a pretty revolting place with the Right Wing Tea Bagger and Koch Brother take over of the state.

Since becoming Governor of Kansas, Brownback has continued this practice, declaring statewide Days of Restoration and showing up at prayer rallies that were overflowing with modern day prophets and apostles. And the trend continues, as next month Brownback will speak at an Awakening Freedom Tour in Lenexa, Kansas that is designed to encourage right-wing Christians to get involved in the culture wars and "cause a revolution" by mobilizing "freedom fighters" who will "take this country back":
Entitled the Awakening Freedom Tour, the first gathering will be held on Saturday, February 8, at Lenexa Baptist Church.
Donna Lippoldt, founder and director of Culture Shield Network which is hosting the event says the focus is to address the moral decline in the U.S. and confront the effort to remove God from the public dialogue.
Lippoldt, Donna We need revival, we need a Great Awakening, but it is time to cause a revolution, she says. We need to get some freedom fighters up and going to take this country back.

I certainly have no problem with people and their religion, the problem is they want to push it onto everyone, want the laws to enforce their brand of thought, and want persecutory action against those that do not adhere to their religion. IMO, it is revolting, disgusting, and has no place in a democracy.
Not trying to disparage our Kansan DUers but Kansas has always and will continue to suck. In fact, even after the US is a distant memory and the boundaries that mark Kansas are gone, the patch of land that is currently Kansas will mostly be unfit for intelligent and compassionate and life. Admittedly, I'm biased having lived there for 12 years and getting into a fight at least once a week with some snobby little Kansan because we were poor and I didn't have a Levi's tag on my jeans or too few stripes on my sneakers.

(67,111 posts)in general it is a really strange place. I would NEVER move there for a job or anything. But, if one wants teabagger nation and all that goes with it, it's the place for them. And, it seems there is a church on almost every corner. I found the people seem nice and smile at you, but then stab you in the back with their politics and religion.

(40,416 posts)Trust me, they know. When I was a Democratic Party county officer in the 90's in Sedgwick county (the most populist county), the GOP monthly newsletter read like a Jack Chick religious tract. It was Jesus this and Jesus that in every single article. That was 20 years ago! They were operating out of all the fundy churches then, and they are still doing so now.
Make no mistake the KS GOP knows exactly what they are doing. And the GOP voters there do too.
So I must take exception to your claim.
