I promise you, I read the article and felt physically sick after I’d finished. That’s not hyperbole: I felt nauseated.

I am just one mention of the word "Amnesty" away from a tower and a high powered rifle as it is, so I did not read the whole article, but I read enough.
Fortunately, I have been so thoroughly grounded in a respect for
the law, and the majesty of this noble experiment which is the United
States, that I will remain holstered. Instead, I'll write another
novel.
This one is about a handsome, mild mannered all-American boy who
becomes slightly unhinged after watching Edward Kennedy on
C-Span. So unhinged that he repairs to his garage and puts the
finishing touches on a 20 megaton suitcase nuke which he then
detonates in the Capitol Rotunda 10 minutes into a State of the Union
address. The new government moves the nation's capitol to
the top of Mount McKinley, and proscribes the building of
access roads or landing strips. "Public servants" ride pack
mules and goats to work. So arduous is this, and finding decent
help just impossible, that congress is in session just 30
days every other year. Ten-thousand years of American peace, prosperity, and
world supremacy follow, and the young man is honored by having Kennedy
Airport renamed for him.
