These people are over the top, batshit crazy. Think Progress finds this billboard in Missouri that is being promoted on a local country GOP Committee website. Not clear who paid for it, but it clearly has a GOP stamp of approval. Think about that for a second. A major political party is supporting a call to war against the government. Pure insanity. Trying to imagine what would have happened if something...

By Michael J.W. Stickings Utah State Sen. Chris Buttars -- a Republican, of course -- claims to support gay rights. He may even support gay rights legislation. But the struggle for gay rights in Utah is still at an early stage. Forget same-sex marriage or adoption, or anything that like that. Utah is not nearly that progressive.
