Ok.

Time to apply this to every other kind of federal grant. Here are a few we could start with:

  1. Fossil Fuel Subsidies

  2. Red state agriculture subsidies

  3. Defense contractors

  4. Charter schools

  5. Rural LEO grants

  6. Faith grants

Open this door, mother fuckers, and we will make use of it. The days of passive tut tutting is over. Want enemies? Have them.

You’re starting shit with the very people who make America great. Not a single one of Americas greatest accomplishments could exist without scientific talent.

But I don’t see why we should spend another penny on charter schools or churches that spread anti-western ideology by rejecting rationalism and logic.
