ARLEY, Ala. — I recently drove the back roads from Birmingham for over two hours before I finally found a sign for Roy Moore, the Republican candidate for the United States Senate, outside the Arley Coffee Shop. A retired coal miner who frequents what the cashier called the “liars’ table” put it to me in the familiar Winston County way. “The women,” he said of Mr. Moore’s accusers, were lying to make him look like a sexual predator. “Groping,” he added, “used to be all right anyway.”
The Free State of Winston is Alabama’s most distinctive political culture, and now it may be the center of America’s current political convulsion. Winstonians tend to go to one side or another in a big way, and they don’t care what the rest of the world thinks. According to one historical account, the residents voted 515 to 128 for an antebellum legislator who promised to oppose the Ordinance of Secession that took Alabama out of the Union in 1861. Today they believe President Trump is an untarnished Republican savior and are cheering his endorsement of Mr. Moore.

Last time I was in that area we got to go to Looney’s Tavern and see the play about the Free State of Winston. Great fun!
And these are the people that were willing to defy the whole state to stand up for their beliefs.....kinda like Judge Moore.
Did the the New York Times ever do an article on “Ted Kennedy’s Massachusetts”
How many liberal politicians liberal cities/states have gotten reelected after the deviant behavior they’ve engage in and sometimes even illegal activities. I bring up Marion Barry on other posts, but it’s true. Do you think Connors would be reelected if he didn’t get forced out into retirement? Damn right he would be. His constituency will put him right back in the office.
NYT = vacuous Manhattan trash.
>>>plausibly accused pedophile<<<
Yeah, that Innocent until proven Guilty stuff only works for Democrats.
Ya think? So do I. Even in my neighborhood, there are far more empty yards than Jones signs up.
