Quote for the day

The GOP has become the enemy of constitutional government, morality and decency.

Michael Hamar

Yup. What needs to be understood better than it is now, I think, is that the GOP has become the political arm of a regional — southern — religious movement. People lacking the historical set-up for this will think I’m reaching, but what has happened to the Republican Party, and what they are doing to the country writ large, is simply a reprise and continuation of the Southern Baptist’s Genesis controversy of 1961 and, later, the so-called Conservative Resurgence.

You even trip over a lot of the same names.

Basically, the ignorance and insecurity of the yahoos in the pews is being exploited by cynics in the pulpit to gain political power by promising to turn back the clock. It really is that simple.
