The jubilation felt among hardcore conservatives over Judge Roy Moores win in the Republican primary runoff Tuesday night also brought recrimination from the Democratic left and the sophisticated right.
After Moores triumph, the wife of a top White House official wrote on social media, For the first time in my life, I have to say, Im embarrassed to say Im from Alabama.
Moores Democrat rival Doug Jones on the same night took to social media to announce, After years of embarrassing headlines about the top public officials in this state, this race is about the people of Alabama and about choosing a candidate with character and integrity they can be proud of. I will never embarrass the people of Alabama.
So, when the wife of a deputy chief of staff to the president is embarrassed by Moores election, and Democrat Jones promises he wont embarrass the state; what is the message?
These views are perhaps shared by some Alabamians, but the vast majority who fulfilled their civic duty by voting on Tuesday chose Moore.
Its not hard to see why Moores brand of conservatism might offend some because it is rigid and unmoved by urges of modernity. Moore stands for the traditional values of God, country and the U.S. Constitution. Is there shame in such beliefs? Why is Moore vilified for saying out loud what hundreds of thousands of church-going-Alabamans believe?
Moore is bombastic, confrontational and a religious street-fighter. Are we, as a state and nation, so delicate that dissenting voices are too harsh for the public forum?

“If elected U.S. Senator in December, those same people who ignored Moores treatment by the well-meaning left and cowardly right will be solicitous of his office, as if they had been his friends all along.
Others who must feel the sting of shame are Chief Justice Lyn Stuart, Justices Mike Bolin and Jim Main for their part in Moores removal from the bench.”
Not as bad as the headline would have you believe.
That’s a real liberal outlet.
The real story is that as US Attorney, Doug Jones might have let an investigation into Paul Bryant Jr. become a non-investigation.
But no one will touch that because Jones has the backing of The Machine.
The long knives are coming out for Moore.
They are saying that Judge Moore didn’t declare all of his income and there are rustlings that his nonprofit might need to refile some things.
It’s going to get so very dirty. Y’all pray.
I’m not from Alabama and I don’t have a banjo on my knee
but I’d be proud as a peacock if Judge Roy Moore were my Senator!
I'm embarrassed to say that she is from Alabama. :-)
If youre not a liberal when youre 25, you have no heart. If youre not a conservative by the time youre 35, you have no brain.
I’ve heard that. And believe it. LOL
I’m from Texas and I’m not embarrassed that there are enough idiots in a Houston to elect Sheila Jackson Lee!
These fragile souls are sooooo easily offended.
I like Mr. Moore. He will be good for this state and country.
Kirstjen Nielsen is the White House Deputy Chief of Staff. Is she gay ?
In Nashville, TN while at the Gaylord Hotel for a conservative gathering including Sarah Palin and Andrew Breitbart as well as Judge Roy Moore our family ran across Judge Moore after a discussion amongst Alabamians in a conference room. Alone as a family walking down a corridor looking for an elevator we came to a grand staircase. Without hesitation Judge Moore offered to help my husband carry our son in his wheelchair down this huge staircase. There were no cameras or people to even notice this purposeful act of kindness to strangers but our family, yet I will hold him in high regard for doing just what he did. No one else ever offered to do that in the 12 years our precious son lived.
Character is what a person does when no one is looking, but God never overlooks our agape love.
Good for you Alabama, you chose right. May God multiply His blessings unto you for doing His will.
Dear Lord, protect Judge Moore from the attacks of the enemy. May the mouths of lions be shut and Your name be glorified in all the earth.
Yeah, they pretty much are libs before 30 y.o.
Who is she and why does her husband still have a job?
Maybe rick dearborn’s (Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy) wife, Gina (from Alabama)?

“the sophisticated right”
that would be the lying faux “conservative” Mitch McConnell, Bush, GOPe, RINO, globalist GOP scum who stab the voters in the back as soon as they get elected, correct?
