That protester is me. Not an “outsider”, but I drove up from Concord, NC. :-)

This is SO good. Yeah, the photo is appropriate. But the justifiable outrage of clergy and of activists, religious and otherwise — it is just so good. Goodness is considered a vice by the disciples and acolytes of Ayn Rand. And sadly, nearly all of the Republican Party has embraced the Gospel of that morally bereft harpy.
Thanks for shining a light, Ed. And thanks to Devona for keeping us so well-informed about her home state.
