Roy Moore's pedophilia says a lot about sexual abuse in general.

Someone who constantly, extrovertly, loudly and antimatedly judge other people's values and beliefs, usually live that which they speak out against. Roy (child rapist) Moore for example.

Bad people 'should' be judged. Pedophilia is despicable and being aware of it 'helps' to guard the safety of children in society.

It's the loud and constant noises, that some make, that says, 'Look over here. I'm one too.' Who are shouting clues about themselves. The really sneaky ones are the most dangerous because they hide the 'tell'.

Televangelists. Politicians. Anyone who has power. They are the worst and all have that loud mouth symptom. But, not all loud people are criminal sexual abusers. They're just irritating.

There have been many who rail against homosexuality who secretly seek gay relationships in private.

It's like loudly denouncing the percieved sin in public soothes their conscience about indulging in private.

By golly, Weinstein, Spacey, Louie CK and Roy Moore are like "30 Days To A Master Vocabulary".

They threw the book at Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, and rightfully so - they deserve it. But Roy Moore and Donald Trump? They have the Magic R next to their name and they will most likely walk free.

That saying gets reversed by the right wingers. It doesn't matter what they do as long as they embrace jaybus and speak against whatever it is they did. Now here's the kicker. Normally, a bad person embraces jaybus and starts to live decently because they have seen the light. But in the case of people like moore, there is no need for self correction. As long as they continue to peddle their xtianity, they are absolved from past and current crimes.
