The Roy Moore Infection

The big noise this week is the accusation against Steve Bannon’s candidate for the Senate, Alabama’s Roy Moore. The big question! Did he molest a 14 year old girl when he was 32? The big answer – no one cares, at least not most of the Alabama Republican voters who would vote for him even if he had raped and killed this girl because no degenerate is worse to those in that backward state than a Democrat.

It seems that the entire GOP in Alabama is gearing up to defend this child molester. Alabama County Chairman Jerry Pow says that he would vote for Moore even if he did what he is accused of doing because he couldn’t vote for a Democrat. Really? This asshole considers being a Democrat worse than being a degenerate child molester. Maybe his constituents should think twice about letting him meet their daughters.

Then there’s State Auditor, Jim Ziegler who felt inclined to point out that the Virgin Mary was a teenager when she conceived Jesus with Joseph who was then a mature carpenter. Well, for the benefit of this dumb shit that idiotically dredges up religion, it seems fit to point out that Joseph didn’t father Jesus. If you believe the bible, which is, after all what he’s referring to, God was Jesus father and Mary was still a virgin. Okay, I leave it to you to figure that one out. But you do remember the Bible, don’t you Jim. It’s that book, morons like you never read but that runs their lives. If you’re going to be a religious asshole you should at least be an informed one.

Marin County chairman David Hall doesn’t see anything wrong about a 32 year-old man getting it on with a 14 year-old girl. Yeah right! I’ll tell you right now, if some 32 year old clown comes walking up the path to pick up my 14 year old granddaughter, he better be wearing a bullet proof vest if he expects to get home.

The question you might ask is, what kind of eyes see the world this way? And why isn’t this point of view surprising? Well, at this point in history, it’s not surprising. We just voted for a President who bragged about grabbing women by the crotch. So it’s obvious that the men of Alabama, and states like it, don’t care if their women get molested.

This isn’t Moore’s first time at the plate for being a degenerate. He is a self stated racist, misogynist, homophobe and general creep about town. He has twice been kicked out of judgeships to which he was elected because he refused to abide by the constitution, thereby admitting that he cares nothing for anything that isn’t conjured up in his feeble, diseased brain.

And now we find that another woman has stepped forward and told of her attack by Moore when she was a teenager. Top that with the accusations by at least three employees of the Gadsden Mall that in the late 70’s and early 80’s Moore was banned from the mall over his penchant for harassing underage girls. One of the accusers was the mall security man a retired cop who explains that I wasn’t a legal ban but was known throughout the mall that everyone should be on the lookout for Moore who was in this 30’s at the time.

He’ll make a hell of a Senator.

But the problem isn’t Moore, he’s just one degenerate trying to get ahead, or maybe just get head. The problem is the people who elect him and scum like him. The problem is GOP politicians who defend this degenerate by telling us that the people want him and they don’t care what kind of a pig he is because they will take any Republican over any Democrat. The Bible of the Bible Belt, is assuredly that party trumps (no pun intended) conduct.

Joy Reid had good ole boy Katon Dawson on Saturday morning and he was telling it like the GOP believes it is. It’s all good, was his point, because the Repiglicans have managed to elect a majority of Senators, House members and the President, along with governors and local legislators. That means; it’s what the people of America want because that’s the way the people of America voted.

First of all; might doesn’t make right. But even if it did, the people of America didn’t vote that way. Trump lost the election by over 3 million votes. Our twisted electoral structure is responsible for our Presidential quandary and the fact that no one lives in most of the states that vote Republican is responsible for the bad balance in congress. As to the local elections; yes, Republicans hold more local seats than Democrats but that’s because there are more sparsely occupied states out in trailer park America than there are heavily occupied states along both coasts. We seem to elect our officials by square footage rather than individual vote and don’t even get me started on gerrymandering.

Take Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Colorado, Utah, North and South Dakota and add a couple more red states and you have close to 20 senate seats to the two that come from New York and yet the total number of voters in New York exceeds those of all the states mentioned. Does that make sense? Only if you’re a Republican!

Our electoral system, which has always bragged about; one man one vote, is pure unadulterated bullshit. If that were true, Clinton would be in the White House now and we would have a Democratic congress. That’s because most of the people in this country live on the coasts and the coasts vote Democratic or at least for the best candidate.

It seems to me it’s all about whether you have any morals at all or if the only thing you believe in is a political party. The latter seems to be the measuring stick in the Deep South. I come from New York City which has about a 90% Democratic voting public and yet the last mayor who served three terms was a Republican and the current mayor, a Democrat is the first of his majority party since Ed Koch back in the 70’s to get a second term. What does this mean to this discussion? Maybe that the voters here are intelligent enough to look at the man and not the party when they line up to vote and maybe that the voters in places like Alabama are too stupid to find out who they are actually voting for but leave it to a political party to make their choices for them. That’s how we got Trump and Bush. That’s why we are involved in two wars and looking at a third and that’s why our economy crashed n 2007. Maybe the dummies in those states that backed these two losers should look to other sources of information than a party that has traditionally lied to them about everything except its name. Maybe the voters of the Bible Belt should take notice and maybe they should throw their bibles away because it’s obvious from their choice of valueless candidates that they don’t read them.

I have never been much of a believer in organized religion. Always believed that the only intelligent thought that Carl Marx ever had was that religion was the opiate of the people. That seems to be much the case in the Bible Belt where people swear by their religion but don’t seem to vote along any line that demands the values to which those religions aspire.

There is something very wrong with people in this country who are willing to revile entertainers and athletes for the very same kind of unacceptable acts that they are willing to accept from politicians like the President or a man running for the Senate. The former entertain us. The latter make decisions that will affect our lives.

And what about the coverage of this event? Fox news covered Harvey Weinstein with hours of coverage but has yet to mention much about Roy Moore. That is the epitome of false news.

KellyAnne Conway was on This Week and made what appears to be the definitive statement about the Roy Moore situation when she said, “I denounce that conduct and if the allegations are true, he should step aside. If the allegations are true about a lot of people they should step aside.” She then added; “The conduct as described is not only offensive and disgusting, it disqualifies anyone who has done it from holding public office. So let me go a little step farther. If there’s anyone in public office who has behaved that way to any girl or any woman maybe they should step aside because in a country of 330 million people we ought o be able to do better than this.”

That is as clear and as truthful a statement as I have ever heard KellyAnne Conway make. This is a woman who normally lies and obfuscates all over the map, who invented “alternative facts.” But she is also a mother of three girls and maybe, just maybe she has finally spoken from the heart. If that’s true then the person best described in her little monologue is none other than the current President of the United States. It was, after all, Donald Trump bragging about his on actions, who described exactly the same behavior which KellyAnne denigrates.

He did this when he appeared on the Howard Stern show and bragged about how he wandered about in his beauty contest dressing rooms watching the young girls dress and undress and again on the infamous tape when he bragged about being able to grab women by “the pussy,” simply because he was a celebrity. So according to his own advisor, this slimy pig should leave office immediately.
