Governor Roy Moore, historians help me here.
The story is that Moore will now run for and win as Governor of Alabama since he is so wildly popular.


There have been other points in history that popular opinion overcame reason, and not unlike today they ended. In retrospect the demagogues are seen for what they were and the popular insanity explained. This will eventually happen with today’s destruction of lawfulness and democracy, but when?

What causes the end of era like the one we are currently experiencing? One would think the public would realize that the rule of law has served us for 200 years, so it is a good thing, but they don’t understand that at all. What will awaken them, will it have to be a massive depression? Famine? Personal loss of liberty?

1. Good heavens
now we will have a debate of

Who is more evangilical? the current governor of Alabama or Roy Moore???

I have this feeling that the reason why Alabamians are running themselves into the ground is because they are anarchists and don't want anymore of the federal government.

3. I personally think this should have been handled another way
I have thought all along that they should keep the 10 commandments in the courthouse. WAIT, hear me out!. Every religion's hierarchy should have used it as an opportunity to try to place their most sacred texts in the courthouse as well - right alongside the 10 commandments. Oh yeah, guess what happens then. Judge Moore would have forbidden it, and then he would be seen for what he truly is.

4. That would have delayed justice in Alabama
And yes, they have that there, so stop saying that.

Roy Moore's golden calf was blocking the entrance--I'm still wondering why the fire marshal didn't have a word with ol' Mullah Moore. If you were to put a mezuzah, a Wiccan rede, and a few other non-Christian religious devices next to the Ten Commandments rock, you'd have never been able to get in the courthouse.
