snousleThis article from the New Yorker is one of the more alarming things I've read lately.
Here is a quote from a book that was on "Michele’s Must Read List":
Slavery, as it operated in the pervasively Christian society which was the old South, was not an adversarial relationship founded upon racial animosity. In fact, it bred on the whole, not contempt, but, over time, mutual respect. This produced a mutual esteem of the sort that always results when men give themselves to a common cause. The credit for this startling reality must go to the Christian faith. . . . The unity and companionship that existed between the races in the South prior to the war was the fruit of a common faith.
Of course, now she's trying to bury her specific, deliberate endorsements of several batshit-crazy Christian dominionists, and would not talk to the author about them. The idea that she is a serious contender for the presidency is just incredible.
