Roy Moore and the Aroostook Watchmen

The hillbilly right in Maine.

They don't call themselves Mainiacs for nothing.

Read up on Moore and this crazy radio show in the granite state in this piece by Steve M.

A sample.

Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore appeared on a conspiracy-driven radio show twice in 2011, where he told the hosts in an interview that getting rid of constitutional amendments after the Tenth Amendment would 'eliminate many problems' in the way the US government is structured.

. . . .

Moore made his comments about constitutional amendments in a June 2011 appearance on the "Aroostook Watchmen" show, which is hosted by Maine residents Jack McCarthy and Steve Martin.

The hosts have argued that the US government is illegitimate and who have said that the September 11, 2001, attacks, the mass shooting at Sandy Hook, the Boston bombing, and other mass shootings and terrorist attacks are false flag attacks committed by the government.

. . . .

In Moore's June appearance, one of the hosts says he would like to see an amendment that would void all the amendments after the Tenth.

"That would eliminate many problems," Moore replied. 

"You know people don't understand how some of these amendments have completely tried to wreck the form of government that our forefathers intended."

You'd think the true blue white supremacist - white male supremacist - right would reject everything from 13 on.

Slavery ended, citizenship and voting rights for blacks, equal protection for all, votes for women, the income tax, popular election of senators, votes for 18 year olds - and a lot of fuss about the presidency including succession to that office and, oh yeah, prohibition in and then out.

But 11 and 12?

Really?

And those "Aroostook Watchmen" sound like just completely bonkers hillbilly loons.

Unbelievable.

Who the hell gave them a radio show?

Who are their advertisers?

Wow.
