You can't compare Roy Moore's acts as a government official establishing his sect of Christianity as the "official" religion of Alabama in defiance of court orders to the civil disobedience of Rosa Parks or Ghandi in seeking political and economic rights for oppressed people.

And don't even try to pretend that a prohibition on government facility support for faith is repression.

Why not? I happen to believe that those that are trying to remove any form of religion from the public eye (those rabid enough to do what the ACLU is doing now aren't likely to stop anytime soon) will eventually move on from government sites to public sites and try to destroy religion in its entirety. I believe thay are perverting the intent of the Constitution and activist Judges and floks who are willing to stand back and watch are aiding and abetting an insidious enemy of the Nation.

Don't mix terms - "public" and "government" are not interchangeable.

There is zero - ZERO - Constitutional basis for removing religious objects or displays from private (i.e. NOT Government) property, and I will offer the pledge for every FReeper who disagrees with Moore's stance that each and every one of us would fight tooth and nail to prevent the state or federal government from trying to regulate such displays on private property.

No one needs to be concerned about that. The issue of "taking God out of plain sight" is not an issue, as long as you don't require government sponsorship of your faith.
