the black cat is my crown...

Meanwhile, Moore actually is pro slavery

where is the c00n squad to help me make sense of this....?

during slavery,
black unemployment was 0%.... every black person was born with a job...
no black family was trapped on welfare...
every black child knew who his daddy was and who his daddy's master was too...
no black people were stuck with student loans.....

i wish franken had held off on his speech until this election, he shoulda played hardball

that fukkin scumbag conyers needs to leave, but while franken was wrong, his offense wasnt egregious. certainly not with who's in office. he shoulda said you know what, im not leaving if the republicans elect this scumbag. fukk the high ground :camby:

Meh, Trump would have just acted a fool. Keep in mind Trump is a guy with 15 allegations who was criticizing Franken and other Dems for their transgressions. How you gonna back a pedophile who is banned from malls for that reason? And they got the audacity to tell other countries what they need to be doing. Scust.

But even when they were failing to hold their own side accountable, they still clung to the idea that “character counts.” As recently as 2011, a poll by the Public Religion Research Institute found that only 30 percent of white evangelicals believed “an elected official who commits an immoral act in their personal life can still behave ethically and fulfill their duties in their public and professional life.” But by the time Donald Trump was running for president in 2016, that number had risen sharply to 72 percent. White evangelicals are now more tolerant of immoral behavior by elected officials than the average American. “This is really a sea change in evangelical ethics,” Robert P. Jones, the head of the institute and the author of The End of White Christian America, recently told me.

“The way evangelicals see the world, the culture is not only slipping away—it’s slipping away in all caps, with four exclamation points after that. It’s going to you-know-what in a handbasket,” Brody told me. “Where does that leave evangelicals? It leaves them with a choice. Do they sacrifice a little bit of that ethical guideline they’ve used in the past in exchange for what they believe is saving the culture?”

Of course, it could be argued that the culture suffers when a man of unbridled appetites and unimpressive impulse control is placed in the Oval Office. (In fact, many on the religious right advanced this very argument when Clinton was president.) But Brody says that encroaching secularism, combined with a perceived liberal hostility toward people of faith, has prompted many conservative Christians to support any politician who will protect their traditions. “Donald Trump always talks about bringing back ‘Merry Christmas’ and everybody laughs. But it’s not just about saying ‘Merry Christmas’—it’s about the idea behind it,” Brody said. “They are voting for a person who will be a placeholder for their values. They’re not voting for a person who is going to be Mother Teresa.”

When I called McAllister, she made no effort to walk back her argument. Conservative evangelicals, she said, had learned from cultural elites on the left that in the struggle for power, idealism sometimes had to be sacrificed.

“What are the public-policy implications? That has to be the question,” she told me. “It’s no longer just about personal morality. It’s not that those things don’t matter to us. They do. But you need to think about it like a war. When you’re at the warfront, you just want the best guy next to you. You don’t care what his morality is, it’s just, ‘Can you shoot that guy over there?’”

McAllister paused for a moment, and then chuckled at the bleakness of her metaphor.

This video says it all.

"We didn't have racial problems after the 80s... When Obama was elected and he started his divisional rhetoric, race relations went the rest of the way of the country."

She blamed Obama for racial issues in our country and almost the entire group nodded in agreement. These people are literally just obstacles to progress.

There's no point in trying to win their support. The left needs to focus on getting progressive people to the polls instead of trying to use logic on illogical people.
HOW THE fukk DO BLACK PEOPLE LIVE IN ALABAMA!!!!!!!!!
