kbate Thought Roy Moore's abomination on horseback

[gotsnowgotslush]

I saw some videos that caused me to wince, over and over.


I hope the ride mashed and crushed his family jewels.


Someone should have intervened, and arrested him, on charges of cruelty to animals.


Roy Moore is crazy, but is everyone that is close to him, crazy, too ?


I could never be as accomplished as you are, but my instructors insisted that I form no bad habits.

My girlish sentimentality ended, and responsibility began.

"A few years ago, Moore was thrown from a horse while riding on his farm near Gadsden in Etowah County, breaking several ribs. Reports don’t specify whether Sassy was involved."

Moore, a Republican candidate for president, was thrown from a horse while riding on his farm near Gadsden in Etowah County, according to Rich Hobson executive director for the Foundation for Moral Law.


Moore, 64, is president of the Montgomery-based foundation.

Hobson said several of Moore's ribs were broken or cracked. He said Moore was recovering at home and expected to get back on the horse - and the campaign trail - as soon as possible.

Moore was trying to evoke the same cowboy mythology that other politicians have pulled in the past. 99% of these politicians are all hat and no cattle.

That whole cowboy cliche is getting really old.

That whole cowboy cliche is getting really old.

And ignores the fact that, back in the day, most cowboys were black or Mexican; and today, many are Indians. Cowboy was always bottom-of-the-ladder, status-wise. Ranchers and cattle barons were mostly white; their grunts were mostly not.
