...takes yet another step to stay that way.

Since the American Civil War, the Southern States have consistently voted for the candidate who is most backward, racist, bigoted and least likely to support working class people improving their own standard of living.

For almost a hundred years they would not support the "Party of Lincoln". Then, they left the Democratic Party because of Civil Rights legislation being passed by the Democrats.

You would think they would wake up and decide improving their, and their neighbor's, standards of living would matter. But no, evangelicalism, racism, and bigotry have to come first for them.

The Bible has a name for those people, HYPOCRITES...it even says so in the passage!!!

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."

"But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.…"
