You are confusing 'liberal' and 'liberals'. The people we consider 'liberals' actually have the conservative view on this particular issue. Granted they are liberal on everything else!

On this issue you and MissyMe are espousing the liberal point of view. The conservative point of view, as it always does, wants government OUT of religion and other issues it doesn't belong in.

"The conservative point of view, as it always does, wants government OUT of religion and other issues it doesn't belong in."

O.K., so which way do you want it?

Do you want the Ten Commandments completely removed from all public places?

If you do, then you are LIBERALLY-MINDED on this issue.

What part of LIBERAL do you not understand?

"The conservative point of view, as it always does, wants government OUT of religion and other issues it doesn't belong in. " This is true, but goes unrecognized among fundamentalists of most religions. Most people are not aware that the Southern Baptist Convention _used_ to have a line in its own Constitution that supported the separation of church and state. For all I know, it's still in there. Those who think that it's OK for _their_ particular religious beliefs to be put on display in public buildings should consider that they may not have the popular belief one day, and that some other belief may take precedence. I can just imagine the consternation if that Alabama judge was a staunch conservative Catholic who decided to place a 'Sacred Heart' statue in the courthouse. Protestants everywhere would be screaming bloody murder.

The pro-freedom view is to let people have the freedom to express their views. Denying Judge Moore this freedom is anti-freedom.
