Morning Joe opened todays show by insisting that Steve Bannon had insulted Alabama when he suggested that University of Alabama alum Joe Scarborough, unlike Bannon, couldnt get into Georgetown or Harvard.
If that was an insult to Alabama, it was something of a three-rail bank shot. But a bit later, Morning Joe aired a clip of Roy Moore foe Charles Barkley insulting Alabamians in the most explicit terms. Said Barkley:
At some point, weve got to stop looking like idiots to the nation.

Sounds like he’s secretly campaigning for Moore, by making Jones look as bad as possible. How clever!

Bless your heart, “Sir” Charles. In your case, that train has long since left the station.

But there seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important
so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)

They’d rather look like accusers without proof...guilt upon supposition, not facts. Jumpers to conclusions. False news believers. Gullible believers of fake news. Sure that’s better!

Has it gotten better or WORSE for the Democrats divided groups ?
But yet he keeps fanning the flames of covertness and envy and greed !
Listen to the words of Judge Roy Moore's poem below
Judge Roy B. Moore One nation under God revised version adapted to music ( 5:14 )
One Nation Under God
By Judge Roy Moore
One Nation Under God was their cry and declaration. Up on the Law of Natures God they build a mighty nation.
For unlike men before them who had walked this Earthly stop, These men would never question the sovereignty of God.
That all men were createdwas a truth self-evident.
To secure the rights God gave us was the role of government.
And if that government became destructive to this end, It was their right, their duty,
And from the grave their voices criedA victory has been won ! Just glorify the Father, as did His only Son !
When your work on Earth is done, And you traveled where weve trod,
Youll leave the land weve left to you
With firm reliance on Divine Providence for protection,They pledged their sacred honor and they sought His wise direction.
They lifted an appeal to God for all the world to see. Declared their Independence, forever to be free.
Im glad theyre not here with us To see the mess were in.
Weve given up our righteousness When abortion isnt murder, And sodomy is right, When evil is now called good, And the darkness is the light.
And from the grave their voices cried A victory has been won ! Just glorify the Father, as did His only Son !
When your work on Earth is done, And you traveled where weve trod,
Youll leave the land weve left to you
Truth and Law were founded on the Law of All CreationTrue lawmen now denied the truth, and he calls it Separation.
No longer does man key to God when hes in full control. The only truth self-evident is in the latest poll.
But with man as his own master, Weve failed to count the cost.
Our precious freedoms fanning Our children cannot pray as theyre taught evolution. Will they learn the fear of God is the only true solution ?
(talking)
Well our schools have become the battle ground.
While all across the land
Christians shrug their shoulders,
And are afraid to take a stand.
Now can we be indifferent,
And not feel any change,
For blood and tears that have been checked,
Have they fell
all in vain ?
(singing)
And from the grave their voices criedThe victory has been won !Just glorify the Father, as did His only Son !
When your work on Earth is done, And you traveled where weve trod,
Youll leave the land weve left to you

We would truly be idiots if we allowed the Democrats to regain the power we fought so hard to take away from them. especially since they clearly haven’t learned their lesson.

When celebrities get involved in elections they are giving away a commodity that they have - fame, to the campaign. At this point I feel that whatever speaking or appearance fees that a celebrity generally gets should be taken as the value of what they give to a particular campaign when they stump for someone. If that value is greater than the allowed individual donation amount, it should be considered a campaign finance law violation.

Much like Rachel Maddow , Barkley is more comparable
to a road apple.

Says the moron that got stopped for speeding while drunk.
When the cop asked him what the hurry was he said he had to go find the tranny hooker again " 'cause it was the best b*** j** I ever had."
