By CAMERON JOSEPH Published SEPTEMBER 21, 2017 8:02 PM
The man who has the edge to become Alabamas next senator didnt hedge away from his hardline socially conservative positions on Thursday, returning to his central campaign theme of a lack of godliness as a central reason for societys woes.
Controversial former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore warned that America was falling apart because of things like transgender troops in the military.
Our foundation has been shaken. Crime, corruption, immorality, abortion, sodomy, sexual perversion sweep our land. When we become one nation under God again, when liberty and justice for all reigns across our land, we will be truly good again, he said in his first and only one-on-one debate against appointed Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL).
The comments came shortly after he said he wanted to free the country and military from political correctness and social experimentation like transgender troops in our bathrooms.

(24,382 posts)He was removed from the position of Chief Justice once, ran a second time and was re-elected! Of course he was suspended once again for defying the US Supreme court, but I have no doubt the people of Alabama will make him a senator.
I hope the statue of Thomas Jefferson falls on him.

The trouble is, liberty and justice for all is exactly what both of them want to ELIMINATE.

As for the rest, game on. Dude probably thinks anything outside of the missionary position with the goal being pregnancy is sexual perversion. That's when he isn't in the bathroom scrolling through craigslist personals.

Nevernose
(13,081 posts)He's really rocking an old-fashioned, down-home style of bigotry one doesn't see very often any more. He's switched some things around -- replaced "negroes" with "transgendered troops" for instance -- but all in all, a solid rendition of stereotyped Southern hatred, a character actor in a very old caricature.
