Inbreeding: Still a Problem in the NC Mountains?

Mark Meadows knelt in contrition before John Boehner after he failed to unseat him as leader of the House Republicans. He then became a particularly ardent ass-licker in Donald Trump's entourage. 

Is this normal? I argue not. This kind of degradation, chosen and unforced, has a whiff of inhumanity about it. A big whiff of inhumanity. The loss of a soul. Madison Cawthorn succeeded Meadows. 

Cawthorn seems to be even more degraded than Meadows. I knew a family from the North Carolina mountains, of old derivation there. A prestigious family by mountain standards. The kids went to college.

They were Episcopalians. There were rumors circulating around them that Episcopalians did things with babies in their religious services. Really. And, when I visited, there were a lot of troopers about. 

State Troopers. 

My friends said the old families in the 'hollers' had switched from moonshine to pot. Weed. Also they said that, among these families, it was the grandfather's privilege to have first crack at his granddaughters. 

Sexually. I assumed this only still went on in Arkansas, what with Huckabees and other such evidence. Cawthorn and Meadows suggest otherwise. They are not normal. Nothing normal about them.
