“There is a resentment and rejection of liberal culture. That culture is not available to many people in America. And the liberal coastal elite, who may never have been to rural America, just think everyone there is racist and homophobic and judge them to be terrible people.

When a person dies, the earth is generally unwilling to cough him back up. A miracle contradicts the will of the earth.”
