Dr. James Dobson, a well-known and respected national Christian leader in speaking at a rally in front of the Alabama Courthouse containing the disputed monument of the Ten Commandments compared the ongoing struggle with that of the Black equal rights movement of the 1950's.

Dr. Dobson described the irony of how in 1955 when Rosa Parks refused to "Go to the back of the bus." by racially-driven bigots sparked a national equal rights movment and said that another national "movement" was now underway to protect the rights of Christians.

Dr. Dobson declared, "We are not going to the back of the bus!" in alluding to a growing consensus of Christian-Americans who would no longer tolerate being treated as citizens with lesser rights.

Is this a "movement" or just a small footnote in our nation's history?

If it's not a movement, then our national history will just be a small footnote.

[Libertina]

It's a matter of freedom of religion, as well as our blessed history.

Time will tell. I think this is definitely a bump in the road, but sadly, I think it will have to get worse before we see any real traction from the entrenched beauraucrats.

I truly hope it is a movement. It could be like Rosa Parks. It could be like Dred Scott. I hope it changes everything.

Dobson, who has managed to worm his way onto the evening news for years, tries to hijack the reputation and nobility of the Civil Rights Movement for a church-subsidized artwork whose presence in the lobby of the Alabama Supreme Court benefitted no one - certainly not anyone in the other 49 states - and irritated some people who were compelled by circumstance to come to the courthouse. That artwork - essentially a massive church altar - could legally be put in a whole flock of places, but just not a govt building where some people are compelled to come in hoping for equal treatment regardless of religious affiliations.

""Is this a "movement" or just a small footnote in our nation's history?"

There has been a breakdown in the moral fabric of our society – a breakdown in our culture. The U.S. Constitution was designed only for a moral and religious people. When morality disintegrates, the value of the Constitution ceases to have meaning.

What next? The logical progression of all of this is that at some point they pull this out of the ground:

I expected an anti-Christian response soon enough.... Seems like any post that deals with a Christian leader always gets knee-jerk Christian leader-haters within a few minutes....

Is Secession an option for most conservatives?

Is that ignorant slam on Dobson and free exercise of religion THE stupidest, most destructive thing you've ever posted, or could you link me to another?

The death penalty is not murder and neither is the war in Iraq.
