Show me how many involve defiant fight picking by Chief Justices of state supreme courts who were as closely tied with ministries as this one is, and show me how many involved defense costs that amounted to even a significant fraction of what Moore claims.

And you have no fundamental "freedom" to use my tax money, my tax paid public offices or my tax paid public property to ram your sect of Christianity down my throat.

"And you have no fundamental 'freedom' to use my tax money, my tax paid public offices or my tax paid public property to ram your sect of Christianity down my throat."

Nor do you have the right to use my tax money to ram your radical sect of anti-religion down mine. You got a complaint about people fighting back against the ACLU, then take it to the ACLU. They started this.

You don't know WHAT "my sect of Christianity is, or even if I'm a member of one. Your assumption is based on prejudice because you ASSume that to fight for the Ten Commandments, the Pledge of Alleigance or any matter of state's rights versus federal mandates I must be a member of some Christian sect.

Our culture was here before you or I were, and it is our culture I'm fighting for. NATIONALLY, the cost of this fight far outweighs the single fight of Judge Moore, both monetarily and as a matter of preserving our own Constitution. It's not a single fight. It's a war. His is just the highest profile case.

Don't worry. No doubt the SCOTUS will preach from the pulpit of Political Correctness and no dooubt give you your wish. Another little piece of what makes us Americans will be gone.

Hey, many of us here see your point, but could you be a tad bit less abrasive about making it.
The government wasted 40 million on the Starr investigation of Billy-boy. At least this fight is for (in my book) a better cause than trying to "incriminate" Billy-boy when we knew he was guilty anyway. Look what happened there... Nothing!
At least here the ACLU is facing a stiff fight by a group they would nomally shun. White Christian conservitave Americans.

CP, I've seen you quote a $125 million dollar number on all of these threads. What is your source which indicates that this is TAXPAYER moneys? I have seen fundraising programs on many Christian networks (television and radio) seeking donations to his legal defense. How certain are you that these were not his PRIVATE funds which were spent? Quote your sources, please.

paid public property to ram your sect of Christianity down my throat.

I just saw a news report about an orthodox rabbi endorsing Judge Moore's actions. So your post should have read to ram your sect of Judaism down my throat.
