Roy Moore is the American Taliban. I realize that I'm pulling Iran and Afghanistan into the same example. The people who voted for Moore are the descendants of Confedeate cannon fodder. When is the religious fight going to realize that they continually get used by the .1%? Vote with me while I pick your pocket. Like one friend from Iran said, "they are a simple people".
