Beshear is running for reelection and unemployment is 10% in Kentucky; he would give tax incentives to a satanic theme park if it would generate jobs.

I seriously doubt that. And I mean, very seriously doubt that. Unless you’re talking about an alternate universe Kentucky in which satanism is the dominant religion.

If you watch the video it’s crystal clear that this is an explicitly religious project — an explicitly fundamentalist Christian project. Beshear is supporting it because it appeals to the fundamentalist demographic, and he thinks he’ll be able to milk those rubes for lots of money.

And the pathetic, sad part of it is that he might be right.
