Some conservatives do not realize what is at stake in this 10 Commandments battle. Americans have protested more vigorously over taxes, busing, quotas, and other issues, over the past 3 decades, than they have protested against the anti-faith assaults of the past decade.
What Judge Moore is fighting for, is about who we are as a people, and whether we are proud or ashamed of the Christian values on which this nation was founded. The Supremes (especially the spineless Justice Kennedy), ducked this issue, because it would cost them of the respectability they need to get invitations to those fancy parties in Georgetown.
I saw Judge Moore speaking on TV today, and he reminded me of Ronald Reagan at the Berlin Wall in 1987. Just as Reagan opposed the wall, a symbol of godless communism, Judge Moore is opposing godless court rulings imposing state-sponsored atheism as America's official religion. In my mind, I picture Judge Moore telling that nutty feminist who heads the ACLU, "Ms. Nadine Strossen, tear down this wall of anti-Christian hatred"!
Someone has to stand up and say NO to the one-worlders, NO to the commissars of political correctness, and NO to the rootless cosmopolitans who control our culture by preaching hatred for Bible-believing Christians!
How long do you think it will be, before Christmas is outlawed as a public holiday, because it "promotes religion".
Thank God.
As far as I can see, only 2 of the 10 Commandments have ever been “against the law” – that being the sixth and the eighth. Even with this, the laws against murder (6) and stealing (8) were not put into place because of anything having to do with the Judaic-Christian beliefs. Other societies have these same laws without any suggestion of “God”.
To make matters worse, the very first commandment says: “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.”. The first amendment to the Constitution is the antithesis of the first Commandment. Our Constitution specifically says that ALL Gods may be worshiped – not just the God of the bible.
Protects you from what?
What are the anti-God, selfish ignoramuses so scared of?
I saw him too. He looked like a slick politician, getting ready to run for governor in 2005.
Being Judged. Cheers, By
C'mon, Sinky. You're meant to be showing a bit of leadership, amongst the Moore Troll Crew. How are you going to keep your stripes if eight posts go through before you troll a fresh Moore thread? Yours truly, Concerned By
Sinky. Let's talk.
Once upon a time he would be there, striking like lightning, post one, or two, impugning Moore, scorning his supporters, there was wit there was invective, there was commitment.
Now, what have we got?
Post nine. Limp. Lame. Forced.For a Moore supporter like myself, it's akin to being flogged with a wet lettuce leaf.
C'mon lads. Bite the bullet. Don't let the Moore Troll Crew drift rudderless onto the rocks. Who's gonna take the helm?
LOOK AAS!
TWICE in 24 hours!
Make up your mind, will you?
Either the Federal government has a dog in this fight or not. Can't have ot both ways.
The monument is impressive and inspiring. I like it. But the case law was clear WAY before Moore put it in the rotunda.
Judge Moore has invigorated a large number of people in support of him. I'm positive that was his goal.
But he's not going to change the law anytime soon, and I despise the way he defied the law. A judge should never do that.
I'm not going to get angry about it one way or the other. I think it's not a bad thing that some people do. America needs to be reminded that religious values mean something.
But legally, the monument must be removed.
He will now fail in his attempt to be governor or president.
I also admire the Judge for what he is doing. I was going to post a reply to #5 but decided to read on, first.
Glad I did.
I did not know that he said the 10 Commandments form the basis of our law. Not exactly, Judge M.
Thanks for your yank back to reality.
