I swear, Roy Moore is going to be the new Senator from Alabama because he’s such a God damned big hypocrite — and Alabamans they love them their hypocrites.
And, the sad fact is that Alabamans have been schooled to hate Democrats so much they would vote for a self-confessed child molester (if he was a Republican) over a Democrat. They live and breathe hatred of Democrats and imbue it in their children.
Even my own granddaughter, coming up in Alabama schools, had picked up this hatred of Democrats — her parents were not particularly into politically programming children so she was infected by the careful indoctrination of her fellow students. When her parents became aware of this indoctrination, they explained the reality of things to her and she was restored to rational thinking immediately.
I openly admit my bias in thinking that the American South is hostile to facts and reality and their brand of religion breeds hypocrisy with its love of loud public praying and ostentatious demonstrations of religiosity. Quakerism definitely not a going thing in the South with its silent meditation.
Being well-larded with self-righteous holier than thou sanctity and moral superiority seems to be a Southern trait. Being acquainted with the truth and reality is not. Hard facts frighten Southerners.
Geeze, if you can lie about the real reason for the Civil War for a century or so, lying about anything else is horrifically easy.
