When I was growing up in the late 70s, the men of the Parish Council at my Catholic Church would gather around on weekends in the church basement and watch blue movies. Almost all of them voted Republican.

Travelling in Arkansas recently, I went drinking with a travelling salesman, who tried to get me to accept Jesus as my personal savior. When I politely declined, he tried equally persistently to persuade me to come back to Missouri and have a threesome with him and his wife. No thanks, I said, I'm married. "That don't mean nothin!" he objected. My sense is he's not unusual, and that "traditional America" is a pretty crazy place, not so different from Oberlin College as its demogogues would like to think.
