In NE Texas I found a station that was about to run James Dobson's show. I listened for 20 minutes to James Dobson and his co-host talk about nothing but the amount of money raised (Mrs. Smith sent us $30.00. Praise God!). Nothing about Scripture or sermonizing, just money, money, money for 20 minutes. So after that I started calling Dobson's place "Focus On the Fundraising."
My late mother lived in Colorado Springs in the 1990s and was one of the (very) few non-Republicans there. As I recall, she loved the country, but she had a very hard time making friends. Eventually she moved to the far west of North Carolina, also a religious conservative stronghold, but at least the people were friendlier. Eric Rudolph, the Olympic Park bomber, hid out there for a time.
Not surprised in the least that the so-called pro-life contingent is anything but pro-life, not just about pregnancy or birth, but life itself. It's one reason I'm seriously considering emigration.
