Imagine if the Amish ran General Electric. If Jon Stewart suddenly became Commander-in-Chief. If Dick Cheney were in charge of, oh, I don’t know, fun.
What do all of these scary scenarios have in common? They all involve someone whose personal views get in the way of doing an important job. While the Amish are great at cheese and religion and Jon Stewart is hilarious (and Dick Cheney… has good aim?), it would be a supremely bad idea to have them run an institution whose goals they don’t agree with.
So why, for the love of anything at all, is anti-contraception, anti-abortion, anti-divorce, anti-CPS, generally evil Family Research Council member Susan Orr now in charge of family planning?
