Could actually feel the sadness and frustration lingering in the hot southern Alabama air.

That is about how I feel about this all.

I've been reading the arguments on both sides of this issue here on FR.

I've read the opinions of how some think Judge Moore is just grand standing .. and that may be true .. I don't really know, only time will tell

I've also read the opinions of how some think we don't need a monument to be closer to God .. and that too is true .. I do not need a monument to be a better christain or to be closer to God.

But this is beyond Judge Moore and a monument in a public area. It's about our rights to acknowledge God and his words .. a God that our Founding Fathers acknowledged when delcaring independence and freedom from Britian.

The ACLU is on a which hunt all across this country trying their best to strike all words and acknowlegment of God from this country .. and I just can't turn a blind eye to this and I can't sit by and say this is okay .. It's not ok.

I believe in the separation of church and state and I don't believe in shoving ones religion down anothers throat .. but the separation from church and state was meant to keep the government out of religion .. not to keep religion from the people .. We The People

As far as I am concern .. The ACLU and their supporters can kiss my Irish Catholic Butt .. I will not deny God and I will not deny his Commandments

"I've been reading the arguments on both sides of this issue here on FR."

I have been reading all the threads this past week. Getting dizzy reading the debates :-)

I support Judge Moore.

I share your sentiments about the ACLU.

Thanks for weighing in on this debate.
"Seperation of church and state"--The expression Justice William Rehnquist described as "a misleading metaphor"--appeared in an exchange between President Thomas Jefferson and the Babtist Association of Danbury, Conneticut.

There is no mention of those words in the Constitution. The truth doesn't matter to the opposing side though.

Very well put Mo...I couldn't agree with you more!

May I add, the ACLU and their supporters can kiss my Polish Catholic Butt ..
