Judges Find Dignity in Profanity

I have shown NO contempt for the Constitution.

Sure you have. I cited Madison on First Amendment protection of licentiousness. Rather than dispute this, your response was to argue that the Constitution is wholly inadequate for governing the American people.

That gives a green light to government and its agents to walk right over the Constitution. Suppose the cops conduct an illegal search of your vehicle and rough you up in the process. The authorities can just use your argument and say "Sorry, but the Constitution is now wholly inadequate for governing. You're out of luck".

your response was to argue that the Constitution is wholly inadequate for governing the American people.

I quoted John Adams. "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams

Answer my last post. See post 57 and tell me that those goals haven't been met. Try telling me that we are still a moral and religious nation. Women murder their babies before they are born. God is not allowed on public property or in the schools. Gays march with "pride". Sex has become the great American pastime. Even on FR, how many "I'd hit it" threads are there in one day? Go on. Tell me how moral and religious a country we are.

"Political interest [can] never be separated in the long run from moral right"

"Can the liberties of a nation be sure when we remove their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people, that these liberties are a gift from God? Thomas Jefferson

Garbage. You can legislate morality. Didn’t you read this article?

yes I read the article. My statement is based on the fact that my morals aren't legislated. My family's values and the way they interact aren't legislated by the Congress or any legislative body. We don't murder, we don't steal, we don't lie, I try to honor my parents, I worship no idols...etc...

I don't need the legislature to tell me that teaching 6 year olds that anal sex is "ok", homosexuals are "normal" and that taking money from hard working people and giving it to parasites is bad.

I also don't think homosexuals should be murdered. I think that their lives are going to be judged by someone with a better prospective than mine about what and how they've lived their lives.

As for the cursing and the judges' ruling, I am of the opinion that my kids will be exposed to cursing, sexual depravity and other disgusting things in life and as part of the electronic entertainment options in our society. My job is to teach them that those things ARE DISGUSTING and just because everybody thinks that saying the "F" word or sleeping with multiple partners, using drugs or cheating is ok, doesn't make it so.

as for the

This is either said from ignorance, or by someone who wants to see unlimited immorality in our culture.

you don't know me, you don't know what I believe or my level of education as it pertains to this subject. So get your "cheese chafed" as much as you want, free country, etc....If your family needs a bureaucrat to regulate your morality I pity you and find you both ignorant and exposed to the whims of an amoral progressive government that will manipulate those that trust it.

So, OK. You admit that you CAN legislate morality.

Thank you.

They cant do anything that you don't let them.

Oh, I see your point. They think they're legislating morality for the populace. Which is as effective as legislating that the sun shall stop shining and the earth to stop spinning.

It doesn't work. I'm not going to argue on semantics , you win. You are correct and I will do a complete reevaluation of my thoughts on the power that others have on me and my family's ability to conduct ourselves in a moral fashion or whether we should all look to Washington for moral guidance. They can legalize heroin, we won't use it, they can legalize prostitution and we wont use them , they can legalize cursing on TV, we don't need to watch it. For all I care Washington can do whatever they want and I can care less than if an ant was under foot. They have only the power that we allow them to have on material thing. Those matter of the human spirit are mine to give or use at my discretion.
