A conservative writer for the Washington Post asked this week what many in our movement nationally have been pondering while watching Alabama creep ever closer to sending Roy Moore to the U.S. Senate: “What’s the matter with Alabama?”
Examining a recent poll, columnist Jennifer Rubin bemoaned that Moore received nearly 60-percent of the female vote, asking did these women “consider that if Moore gets away with his alleged crimes and gets to the Senate, a horrific message will be sent to men who prey on young women?”
Seeing how we’re probably going to send someone to the U.S. Senate whose fellow senator from Alabama – whose own governor, even – sees no reason to disbelieve those who have accused him of sexual molestation and sexual assault, indeed, what is the matter with Alabama?
As many ex-girlfriends have told me, “It’s not you. It’s me.”
It’s not so much what’s the matter with us, it’s what’s the matter with the rest of the country.
Alabamians aren’t so much supporting Moore than they are reacting to years, decades even, of our way of life being constantly under assault from popular culture – the news media, film, music, books, you name it.
Then we’ve had our political leaders rise to power through our support only to see them abandon and then betray us to the establishment and elites once in office. We’ve seen the government use the force of law, and the courts use force of decree, to change our sacred institutions and force us to act against our conscience.
We looked to our leaders to successfully push back against all of this, yet we saw nobody, and we heard no one.
So is it any real surprise that when someone finally comes along who actually does push back, who actually does shout back, that he gets support from many of us, some of whom would have never supported him 20-years ago?
Look no further than Moore’s new television ad running this weekend as evidence.
Here’s a partial script:
— “They call us warmongers for wanting to rebuild the military.”
— “Racists for securing our borders.”
— “Bigots for recognizing the sanctity of marriage.”
— “And they call us foolish for believing in God.”
So if the establishment in Washington doesn’t like Moore, then that’s too bad. It’s their own fault that he’s about to become one of their colleagues.
They didn’t fight for us then, so Alabamians are looking for someone who will fight for us now, and some are rationalizing their votes because they feel they have no options and so much is at stake.
This isn’t about taxes or regulation or budgets or foreign policy … it’s about our culture, and many in Alabama see it slipping away, if not gone already.
Remember when Samson said in the Book of Judges, “With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.”
Had the Republican establishment treated us with respect, not lied to us, not retreated or rolled-over at every hard choice, and actually fought to advance or even preserve our way of life, then perhaps Alabama would be sending another conservative yet likable man like Jeff Sessions or Richard Shelby to the Senate.
Instead, Alabama has had enough, and it’s about to smack Washington upside its head with the jawbone of an ass.
Nothing’s wrong with Alabamians....
The question should be what’s wrong with the WP????
I pray so. I just can’t imagine how insufferable Democrats AND Establishment Republicans (you know, those who would prefer a Democrat to be elected rather than a conservative) would be if they defeated Moore.
To the Washington Post: What is wrong with communism and mass murder? Over 150 million conservative/businesses killed in the last 100 years. Time to even the score?
shes slightly right of the socialist/commies that work there.
but yup, still not even slightly right of center.
Who does Roy Moore think he is? Bill Clinton? Every time the media brings this up, they need to be reminded of how they enabled WJC. They have absolutely no standing to criticize Moore.
What’s wrong with the Commie WaPo?
Did they even notice that the CPUSA endorsed H->! and she never disavowed same?
To what “crimes” is WaPo referring?
I can see how dating females at the very lowest consensual age might be distasteful to some, but was it ever criminal.
Moore seems to have rehabilitated himself over the last 30 years.
What ‘Rat perp can claim that?
NYT has a resident fake conservative as well. Guess they do that to fool their readers into thinking they have some type of balance on the paper.
They are shocked that their lies aren’t working!
I have no direct interest in whether Roy Moore or anyone else becomes the next Senator from Alabama. That’s up to the citizens of that state; I don’t even get a vote. I do, however, have a direct and personal interest in party establishments and national media attempting to countermand the vote of those citizens through an orchestrated campaign of lies, character assassination, sensational and unsubstantiated charges, and outright and shameless forgery. That part of this affair isn’t about Alabama, it’s about every American who doesn’t want the country run by a self-appointed ruling class populated by thieves and liars.
Exactly.
They have no power now. We’re on to them.
Jennifer Rubin said nothing about Bill Clinton when it was disclosed that he raped Juanita Broaddrick. The fact is, that Jennifer Rubin and the Compost stay silent when a democrat is involved in molesting girls.
They have the least authority to lecture anyone about morals. Spit.
Having been stationed in Alabama for over 2 years back in the early 70’s, I’m guessing that most of the people there have either a mother or grandmother who was a teenager at the time of her marriage. Girls at 13 could marry with parental permission, and 16 without permission. I knew a lot of locals and a number of GI’s who were married to girls ranging in age from 13 to 17. I grew up in Texas, and my oldest sister got engaged when she was 16. A lot of the girls I went to school with dropped out and married as soon as they turned 16.
Moore had the permission of the parents of each woman to date them. Sounds honorable to me.
And Judge Moore would have been considered a real "catch" back then, being a lawyer working in the DA's office. These women consented to seeing him.
Waiting almost 40 years to disclose this information, only a month before a special election smells, not of real soul-searching admissions by these gals, but a concerted effort by Moore's political enemies to get him off the ballot. None of their stories are credible even if they are timely.
Nothing alleged was ever criminal in nature. Moore's political enemies have decided what he is "alleged" to had done, as criminal acts. Which they are not.
And yet the democRAT and MSM have distilled all of this down to Moore being a child molester and pedophile.
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it happen in broad daylight, right before my eyes. A blatant political hit job to stop Moore.
Yes, Moore will be elected. And we will all be happy he overcame the adversity.
But there is no way in hell he will be allowed to stay in the Senate for six years.
He’s gonna get booted out or killed within six months.
Oh?
