Following the 2016 presidential election, liberal elites wasted no time in demonizing those people populating Red States. Writing for The Hill, Duane Townsend was among the first to voice an opinion that has become familiar to the point of cliché: America is held hostage by flyover states. Townsend offered this thoughtful, measured analysis of this demographic:
A flyover state is the huge region between the coasts. As opposed to the eastern seaboard, northern post-industrial states and Pacific Ocean states. Theyre overwhelmingly Republican, stanchly conservative, regressive right wing, evangelical Christian and working class, well, the loudest, most ill-informed of them are .They either want their country back or theyre tired of being ignored. They regularly blurt the latter as justification for electing right-wing theocrat/closed minds, austerity minded, cultural fascists to office.
This sort of rhetoric has become commonplace in the interim years, and, just when you thought it was impossible for it to get any worse, it did.
The reason for the uptick in vitriol and bigotry toward this huge region between the coasts can we safely assume Townsend rejects the fruited plain thesis? is the recent wave of abortion laws successively passed by Ohio, Kentucky, Mississippi, Georgia, and, most restrictive of all, Alabama. This led the Boston Globe to announce that Americas red state legislatures are on an abortion bender.
Over the weekend, "Saturday Night Lives" Leslie Jones, in a rant more befitting a girl fight YouTube video than a television show known for clever political satire, attacked the weird-ass men who passed these laws. Uncouth and unfunny, she made a crude remark about their supposed lack of testicular fortitude and, in what was meant to be her mic-drop moment, she concluded with this profoundly insightful observation: women are the same as humans!

Had a friend tell me “Why are rapists not charged like you think women who have abortions should be?”
“I want rapists drawn and quartered if convicted!”
That shocked her a bit, then she said I was a monster.
My GAF ran out a long time ago. Infanticide is evil. Using dead kids in medical experiments is evil (rumors are some are not dead).
In the future, the picture of evil will not be Nazi Germany, but the USA. We are worse than Carthage.
My bride said there is a lot of pressure for women to “hang together” against anything pro life.
She is an outlyer, and has lost friends for being vocally pro life.
We like to pretend that gender, ethic background, and culture don’t play a part in politics. It is the main reason for many things. For instance, on paper the Catholic church is pro life. In some places it is. In the US, most Catholics are pro death because they hate the Republicans.
Doesn’t make sense till you see it as a tribal thing. Just like my family raised us to mistrust the Swedes.
Well, it’s their own babies. A convict is an abstract being to them. A baby is personal.
When culture is allowed to loom larger than fundamentals of faith, watch out. Things are about to turn upside down.
...They hate that men and women were created
Bingo, if we are created then we owe everything to the Creator
Gratitude and Humility demands it
Denying the obligation to serve, denies the supremacy of the Creator
Gratitude and Humility fail, and then all other virtues collapse.
The evidence of this collapse is everywhere
I wonder how the casualty rate among American unborn babies compares to the casualty rate among American Marines on Iwo Jima.
It’s much worse for black babies than white ones, however it compares to wartime.
And more than a little ironic! Sheesh! Do these people listen to what they say?
So far, over 60 MILLION babies have died in what was once considered to be the safety of their mothers’ wombs!
Not to worry, the ILLEGALS and the MUSLIMS obozo had shipped here from advanced civilizations like Somalia and his birthplace, KENYA, will replace them...AND US!!
IF YOU HAVE KIDS, BETTER WATCH THESE TWO 6 MINUTE VIDEOS!
The America in which we older folks grew up is on its deathbed!
The feminazis convinced many American women that MOTHERHOOD and INCULCATING cultural values in the kids was demeaning to women and they needed to be in the workforce. Just population level MAINTENANCE requires a birthrate of 2.1 children per couple. Thanks to the Democrat socialists’ (but I repeat myself) instigated womens’ lib coupled with their war on boys, OUR BIRTHRATE IS AROUND 1.2! The muslims and other groups are
OUT-BREEDING AMERICA -THE IDEA - TO EXTINCTION!

AMERICA WILL BE MUSLIM THANKS TO WOMENS’ LIB!

Culture is faith. Faith is Culture.
Read some old books. The Catholic Church did not like America because
1. She was a decedent of their hated enemy, Britain.
2. They viewed the founding philosophy as Masonic, Satanic, and therefore evil (as they viewed Great Britain).
3. Many early American politicians did not want Catholic immigrants for the above reasons, and worked to limit or exclude them (they did the same with German Lutherans who did not conform until forced to by gunpoint around WWI).
That is culture.
The Catholic Church as a political organization has been around for a long time. They did not survive this long with out having the ability to play the game with the best of them. So that is why in the USA they are on the lay level very much anti-christian and in places like Africa very much pro-christian.
Simply put, I have never seen a single “Catholic” pol be excommunicated for abortion. I have seen it threatened by the Pope himself over illegal immigration. Sit back and think about the culture, the politics, and the long term strategy about those stands.
On a personal level, my very devout Catholic mother in law is VERY pro life. She volunteers at local prolife shelters. She has told me many times that is her prime consideration in politics. However, while she may not vote for the dem, she will never vote for he GOP because “That would be anti Catholic”.
My mother in law is not an outlier
Well, as one of those rascally fundamentalist evangelicals, I’ve seen the importance of always choosing the stance of Christianity if culture differs from it. Doing otherwise would be to be unfaithful to the Lord, with its unhappy consequences.
On the other hand, I can’t be believing fallacies or overbroad generalizations. Feuds and friendships between the church and politicians of long ago have zero to do with what Christians ought to be doing now. Politicians and political trends and tendencies change. The bible stays the same.
It is absolutely silly for a church to proclaim that it’s clinging to a particular political party for aye.
There are consequences to this kind of social self-hate, all right.
There are none more closed minded and culturally fascist as the leftists who refuse to see the good that comes from conservative policies in action.
Lefty is about the power of Self; most conservatism is, in one sense or another, about the power of God.
The two are opposed — we are all sinners. We have to be accommodated to God to be blessed.
Way too close to reality to be from AOC.
Human life has never mattered to Leftists
Their own power is their god.
Truth is their enemy.
Rats create a world that only rats can live in.
The real issue is MONEY, the abortion business is a multi billion dollar industry and they, the abortion providers and the political hacks that receive BIG donations are in a flop sweat over no more money. Check the donor lists of Planed Parenthood and the politicians receiving these donations.
As always, Follow The Money...
Im thinking that it is the same concept that allowed gays to take over the Episcopal Church, which they now own. Gay theologians convinced liberal Christians that to reject the gay lifestyle was unChristian, especially if God was responsible for their gayness. Once they overcame that obstacle, they were assured that God accepts their actions and they can continue in sin without consequences.
With abortion there are many women who were told a baby is not a baby and it is ok to satisfy your needs and scrape the fetus out without consequences. They chose to believe this and if they stop believing they will have to admit some kind of wrongdoing and the consequences of the resultant self loathing. Since God is irrelevant to them. there is no forgiveness or escape from the self hatred.
Therefore the desperate pretense.
Lives would matter only tangentially, inasmuch as they are useful to their schemes.
