Too many people want to smooth things over, keep the peace, and and watch God slip out of our country.

As if a stone symbol which most people never even heard about is crucial to Christian convictions in people's hearts..and it's being moved will steal this faith from America. How silly.

There is a bigger picture that you are missing here. The Constitution forbids the Supremes to make any laws regarding religion or it's free expression by the states and the citizens of those states.

They are as out of bounds on this as they are on affirmative action, abortion, and homosexual sex. They are the ones behaving illegally. As citizens it is our duty to ignore illegal laws that fly in the face of the Constitution.

As if being told that you are prohibited from freely practicing your religion is a violation of God's grant of freedom.

C'mon. Nobody's arguing that a stone symbol embodies America's faith. The point is that the Ten Commandments say things like, 'Don't murder', and 'Don't steal'. Nobody disagrees with the message of the tablets. They are being removed simply because they are Christian. If it was a Buddhist monk statue, or a statue of Artemis, there would be no conflict. But a Christian statue! We can't have that! Remove it now!

This is a fight for Christianity and the acknowledgement that God has had a part in the history of our nation. And, yes, God is part of our environment: the rivers, the mountains, the seas, the gorgeous sunset that I saw tonight over the Rockies by Colorado Springs...

As if a stone symbol...

It's not about a stone symbol, and you know it. It's about SCOTUS "interpreting" laws in such a way as to constitute a quasi-legislative body. Moore has repeatedly quoted the letter of the first ammendment, and proves he is not in violation of said ammendment. If you choose to sanction the SCOTUS revision of what the first actually says, there is no principle by which to argue any interpretation they come up with for any of the others...including the second. Judicial review is NOT a power granted by the Constitution.

Hey, one guy actually told the movers "Get your hands of my God!"
