Alabama's Judge Roy Moore


I feel compelled as a native Alabamian to appologize to the rest of the nation for our state's voter's ignorance in electing Roy Moore as our Chief Justice. While nobody has ever bragged about the state's ability to produce intellectuals, it does sometime produce a Sparkman or a Black, but it is shameful that we allow the right wing evangelical's of our state to vote in a Chief Justice whose sole purpose in putting rocks in the State Judiciary building is to futher his own political career. He does this by knowingly pushing the buttons of wild-eyed evangelicals who think their god is the only god and that they are right because they believe they are right, or some demagog like Moore tells them so. Pitiful Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia are so glad we exist so they won't be thought of as the most backward states.

This sad state of the State isn't too far from the rest of America, where 85% of the people believe in the religious fable that Mary was a virgin when Jesus was born and only 26% believe evolutionary theory. Poor America, we may be so infused with god that we allow the present President to become our first religious dictator. After all, most folks think god appointed him, according to some websites.
