โ€œI am a citizen of Alabama. I did not think the story about the people worshiping around the Ten Commandments monument was a smear. It was an accurate description. I lived in Montgomery when Roy Moore was grandstanding, and let me tell you, the lowest common denominator of Christian representation were on hand to protest (I am a Christian, but find Roy Moore deplorableโ€ฆalso, take note that no local churches organized protest, the protests were done by out of state people) People were throwing themselves down in front of the rock like it was Baal. It was disgraceful.โ€

Well, I was certainly no fan of Mooreโ€™s rock remaining where it did on either legal or aesthetic grounds. If nothing else, it was a prime candidate for wrapping, Christo-style, but permanently.
