Really great rest stops. The one about an hour north of Gulf Shores is a gem.

..the problem here on FR is that we still have many who either hate the South or anything to do with religion in society....

So true, my friend. Take out those two groups and it'd mostly be me and you, chatting to each other on this thread.

But, take heart: the scum who want to remake FR in their own image have come and gone, ever since day one. In six months we won't even be able to remember these posters' names. All the best, Byron

I love how at FR if you believe in the rule of law and understand economic fact, you are a heretic and a traitor.

How can anyone who sides with the ACLU call himself a conservative? A liar would be more appropriate.

Phew - glad I'm not either of those.

Do you even believe Jesus Christ was the Son of God? (Why do you fight so hard for one part of the Bible yet couldn't give a flip about other parts?)

The ACLU also believes 2+2=4. Do you?

...was that the one where George Michael got into trouble, Chancey?

(Full disclosure: American geography is not my strong suit.)

His 15 mins are up.

and while they're out there at the courthouse, protesting against the rule of law.

Tch, tch.

Trust you, to be so informed about the ACLU's beliefs.

Thanks, Steve. I appreciate your not taking sides, here.

Looks like I owe you one, dammit. :)

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Hmmmm - got the Freddy Krueger glove on, eh?

Anyhow, you're wrong - its a family friendly place to stop on the way to and from a vacation spot. Picnic tables and a really clean infomation station and restrooms. Lots of shade.

[jimt]

Naaah. I better not.....

I'll say it for you.

On a road trip from Texas to New York for a mother-in-law's funeral we drove through many states.

When you're driving straight through, alternating driving with your wife, nice highways and clean rest stops with uniformed attendants are very welcome.

Many rest stops here in Texas don't even have a porta-potty.

Your still wrong as all hell. What happened to your balls, does your wife have them in her purse?

Gotta love these "Christian" crusaders. One moment the Bible is the Word of God that they must die for... the next moment, it's, "Ahh... that part doesn't really count."

9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11Can both fresh water and salt[1] water flow from the same spring? 12My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. -- James 3:9-12

Why does the State of Alabama need to spread the gospel of Christ anyway?

This is why the crossing of the lines is a dangerous thing, Roy Moore invokes God, and he puts himself above criticism, and tell me, what human is above criticism.

Then, all the churches and Sunday Schools endorse him, make it a moral crusade. What if an indvidual didn't agree with Moore's other stands? Could he vote his beliefs and vote for the other guy? Or is he mandated by his church to vote for Moore?

This is what happens when the line gets blurred.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I remember when the Ohio stops had latrines - that was nasty.

My wife tells me that she remembers when she grew up in Texas there would be places that folks would stop that had a roll of toilet paper on a pole, and you had to walk off into a field. I don't know if she remembers right or not.

[habs4ever]

When I read the Preamble, which seems to be Moore's basis for his actions(besides the ones connected to Ben Franklins),it reads like an all purpose, general invocation for God's blessing and forebearnce when the Framers were writing the Bama Constitution.Seeking guidance and wisdom as they go about their serious task, and being mindful of how humbled they are when they are crafting laws.So, where does Moore come up with the idea that God's laws are supreme over written laws and that is the basis on which to rule? This guy has taken the most liberal interpretation possible and pushed that envelope.He has perverted the intent and meaning.

Am I wrong here?

The one on I-65? We stopped there on our way to Gulf Shores scouting for our retirement home (we liked the Bon Secour area quite a bit). It was very nice, indeed.

Of course, with the proposed tax increase in Alabama, we may just move along east to JebLand, probably Pensacola.
