I have a bad habit of spending more time than I should reading Christian conservative Facebook pages. Sometimes an asinine comment on a post will lead me to an individual's profile which can offer a fairly intimate view into the belly of the beast. I recently perused one woman's profile that included among the usual self aggrandizing "I'm-saved-you're-damned-fuck-you" crap, a picture of Barack Obama in blackface(?), eating fried chicken, a post declaring women to be "WAY too moody to be president," and a status lamenting the fact that though she loves the lyrics, she hates country music and prefers hard rock and heavy metal even though both promote "satanism and liberal ideals," to which someone replied remarking on how they themselves have to fight "temptation" every time they hear "Slow Ride," and it's all pretty funny until you realize that these people exist and vote, or, put more simply, that these people exist.
