Sorry to my Southern DU siblings, but I hear something basically evil and pernicious when I hear someone with that accent.

Hard to overcome. Getting harder day by day.

An ex-evangelical who is beating this religious bigotry that is supporting Roy Moore, and men who are saying what needs to be said by someone.

The first, what we are seeing is that our morality level has raised. And another said, things aren't getting worse, it's just that the press is getting better.

This would be about right. We have a lot of wrongs that have gone unanswered by the authorities, which is why we have a white privilege community digging in around us, where autocratic white men have been able to do whatever they want to do and their family members have followed suit.

What we are finally seeing today is what in the Cold Mountain movie was called, a Reckoning.

I don't mind seeing white men reaching this conclusion. Maybe this tear-down must start at the top?

If you take him at his word, Moore is going to go after his accuser.

I don't listen to Fox or CNN. I have Joy Reid on this morning and there are more men denouncing than supporting Roy Moore.

Obviously, YMMV.
