Why Alabamans Are Defending Roy Moore (Media doesn't understand the South)

I don’t know anything about Alabama and 14 year olds with older males. The age of consent there is 16 and this is another put down mobby the leftist freaks at Politico.

Moore has been a political figure thereis for GENERATIONS. NOTHING like this has EVER popped up before. The accusations appear a MONTH before the next election. They are are generated by the Washington ComPost. Besides supporting his liberal Democrat opponent, the ComPost has a LONG and DEMONSTRABLE record of manufacturing fake news. This entire accusation is as suprious as those levelled at Trump. Considering the sah McConnell et al feel about Moore, comments by Romney, Kasich and McCain, there is no POSSIBLE conclusion other than this is another hit job against a Trump supporter. I really, really, really hope Yrump and his supporters break the back of the corrupt, Democrat pandering GOP and form a NEW political party.

Double ditto what you said

Southerners, as opposed to transplants, stopped believing the national media way back at the time of the Leo Frank trial.

Plus, in this case, it's not like some strange, decades old, story told by a faithful democrat worker bee coming out right after the Establishment designated loser is upset in the primary is the least bit suspicious.

Because it is so blatantly false, entirely political.
The main accuser WORKS FOR THE DEMOCRATS. And said NOTHING for 40 years until he’s in a special election ...
We know she’s lying because she’s a Democrat and didn’t have a claim solid enough to bring up during any of his prior elections or the 10 Commandments fight. Not until there was a fury of allegations did she throw hers out there too.
Fake, fake, fake.

"So let’s just transpose today’s rules on who you could ask for a date back then brought to us by people who think you should be able to marry your dog."

Perfect statement. Absolutely perfect. Please consider that line to be officially stolen!

The MSM doesn’t understand anything except their highly populated liberal vermin centers mostly on the two coasts, Chicago, and Detroit. They are absolutely clueless outside those areas.

Benjamin Franklin had observed in roughly the century before that almost any whites who were adopted into the local Indian tribes would want to go back the first chance they got after being "rescued" by other whites.

If you're not familiar w/ the story of Étienne Brûlé, you'd be interested to learn about him. He was a young Frenchmen that Samuel de Champlain sent into the woods to live with and learn from Indians in order to better develop the lucrative French fur trade, the first of the "coureur des bois." Brûlé joined a Huron community, learned the language, and adopted their dress and customs. He would meet up w/ Champlain after several years at a time to report and guide on his discoveries (a goal was to find the "great ocean" that the French hoped was the Pacific, but was more likely Lake Superior or the Hudson Bay).

French priests condemned Brûlé for taking on Indian culture, especially in dress and sexual habits. You can see what they were thinking in later artistic depictions of the Coureurs des Bois, usually posing with a squaw or two... Ironically, Brûlé's life ended shortly after being accused of treason by the French for helping a British ship navigate the St. Lawrence and then, having escaped that, he was captured by Senecas who tortured but did not kill him, then upon escape and return to the Hurons was killed by them for suspicion of having cooperated w/ the Senecas.

Eric Velasco is a perfect example of why the arrogant, biased media is not trusted. “Partisanship often overrides religious or moral values in the state.” Oh those partisan Alabamans! Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy, etc., etc., etc., supporters are not partisan. Perhaps their supporters had no religious or moral values. John McCain should step down so voters in Arizona can have a senator they can be proud of. People asking Moore to step down were against him before these allegations. These allegations are reported by a newspaper that reported about John Tower’s sexual misconduct. After Tower was not confirmed they admitted that their source was a psychiatric patient. I want to thank Eric for informing us that Mary was a virgin. Apparently a lot of people didn’t know that. He is writing for the benefit of the low info left. He insults the people of Alabama. This shows just how smart he is. An attack by the Post should be considered an endorsement.

That became tiresome quickly.

It’s very distorted.

Word is the Democrat opponent Doug Jones molested a 13 yr old. He could not even wait until 13. Mom was furious.
Prove your innocence Doug!

Boy, girl or gender neutral?

One of my best friends got married at 14 in north Georgia back in I’d say 1975. She married a man in his early 20’s. Her parents were divorced and her father gave consent. It was annulled less than a year later. It was a different world back then. People raised their eyebrows, but nobody thought to have the man charged as a pedophile.

It was probably named after a member of the Jordan family who always pronounced Jerdan. He was a long -time, and much -loved coach of ours.

What’s going on?...

Maybe Alabamians think the story is fishy, and resent the news looking down on them for considering the facts?

Your thoughts are not invalid. The swamp is finding itself in uncharted waters. They’re going to throw anything and everything at the wall to see what sticks.

The storm is going to intensify.
