I've been thinking to myself. What would I do differently if I were elected President of the United States? These are the things I would do disregarding political implications. Such as resistance from RATS, etc. I wouldn't cut taxes, I would eliminate most all of them for good. I'd do away with Affirmative Action. I would ban any and all abortions. I would make the Prison system in the United States a very uncomfortable place to be. Even more so than it is now. There would still be some human rights, but no internet, TV, sofas, or just chilling. The...

The Road to Civil War By Adam Graham This is the summer of Conservatives’ discontent. Many Americans are suffering from gay fatigue with Canadian gay marriage and our own Supreme Court’s ruling on sodomy. The cultural elite have responded with “Boy Meets Boy” and “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”. While both shows have been successful, that’s not because of overwhelming support for homosexuality. To be a success, 10-15% of the country has to like it. It doesn’t matter if more than half the country’s repulsed by it, it’s still a hit. Ann Coulter’s book, “Treason” is something we haven’t...

A call to freepers...anyone organizing at Montgomery? I am in SF, and am thinking about flying out there to help defend the commandments. I wanted to start this thread to talk about that, if anyone is doing the same around the country, or locals in Alabama. At this point I'm not even sure if it will help, but please post here with ideas if this has angered you as much as it has me.

I am thinking about flying out to Alabama to defend the Ten Commandments structure. But is anyone else doing this? Are there any plans to fight? Any freepers especially in the Alabama area? Can we start a thread to organize something?

Let’s stop beating around the Burning Bush. Chief Justice Roy Moore, of the Alabama Supreme Court, might need to have these modern, up-to-date alternatives ready for display on the first court date after Labor Day. The Ten Nolo Contenderes I. There is no Lord, often referred to as God, so false gods are fine, especially Political Figures and Supreme Court justices. For all practical purposes, Government is god. Get used to it. All religious zealots who criticize this section are absolute evil, terrorists, and the enemy, and thou shalt turn them all in. II. Speaking of Political Figures, thou shalt...

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Lawyers seeking removal of a Ten Commandments monument from a judicial building's rotunda told a federal judge Friday they would not press to have the state's chief justice held in contempt for refusing to move it. The lawyers also said they would not seek to have the state fined, telling U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson on a conference call that they were convinced the monument would be out of the state building by next week despite the resistance of Chief Justice Roy Moore. ``Our concern all along has been compliance with the constitution. Once the monument...

In a recent piece of hate mail, I was taken to task for using the term "God-given rights." "GOD doesn't give rights; the CONSTITUTION does," wrote the critic from Surf City, California. Actually, the constitution acknowledges the rights that are established in the Ten Commandments of God. Like Mr. Surf City, Judge Myron Thompson misunderstood the relationship between God and government when he ruled that Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore cannot display the Ten Commandments. In this iconic battle between American values and liberal secularism, every political and social debate that is worth the fight will be won or...

Some conservatives do not realize what is at stake in this 10 Commandments battle. Americans have protested more vigorously over taxes, busing, quotas, and other issues, over the past 3 decades, than they have protested against the anti-faith assaults of the past decade. What Judge Moore is fighting for, is about who we are as a people, and whether we are proud or ashamed of the Christian values on which this nation was founded. The Supremes (especially the spineless Justice Kennedy), ducked this issue, because it would cost them of the respectability they need to get invitations to those fancy...

I'm in rage over the recent decision to again "erase" our history in Alabama. I'm worried for Judge Moore. I'm worried for the protesters that were carried off to jail. Hand cuff yourself to an "old growth" stump and you'll be "safe guarded" by the police. Tie yourself to the Ten Commandments and you go to jail. More logic from the left. Are any Freepers (or can any) in the generally locale going to organize a national response? Perhaps something could be coordinated with a concerned talk show host (Glenn Beck seems willing to take media risks)? I'm pi$$ed as...

Supporters of Chief Justice Roy Moore have been handcuffed and led away from the Ten Commandments monument in Montgomery. They had refused to leave the monument after Moore lost a last-ditch appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court this afternoon. The federal judge who ordered the monument's removal is now expected to consider a contempt of court finding on Friday. That could set the stage for the monument to be removed ... or fines imposed on the state. Scores of Moore supporters sang and prayed outside the building as about 20 inside were removed from the rotunda. It wasn't immediately known...

With regard to today's refusal to hear the case against Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, the court has at least delayed a legal decision about defacing its own hallowed halls.It is likely well-known to the justices that the East Pediment of the Supreme Court showcases the image of Moses bearing the two tablets upon which the 10 Commandments are enscribed. In fact, Moses is front and center and indeed the largest figure in the entire sculpture.Ironically, the Chief Justice's offices are immediately behind this portico.Moses center stage on the USSC East Pediment, brandishing his illegal "Ten Commandments."The sculpture, "Justice the...

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP)--Supporters of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore gathered Wednesday for a candlelight vigil, hoping to convince state and federal leaders that his Ten Commandments monument should not be removed from the state judicial building. Nine pastors led some 30 worshippers from across the country in prayer just after midnight, the deadline set by a federal judge for Moore to remove the 5,300-pound monument. ``Even if they should remove this monument--and God forbid they do--they'll never be able to remove it from our hearts,'' said the Rev. Greg Dixon of Indianapolis Baptist Church.Moore, who has said he will not...

'Ten Commandments' Justice Loses Again MONTGOMERY, Ala. - A federal appeals court declined Tuesday to lift an order requiring the chief justice of Alabama's Supreme Court to remove his Ten Commandments monument from the state judicial building by midnight Wednesday. Chief Justice Roy Moore immediately asked the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider what it had just decided, until the U.S. Supreme Court can rule on a petition by Moore to intervene. Moore, who installed the 5,300-pound monument in the rotunda of the judicial building two years ago, contends it represents the moral foundation of American law and...

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The chief justice of Alabama's Supreme Court asked a federal appeals court to block an order for the removal of a Ten Commandments monument from a state building. Attorneys for Chief Justice Roy Moore asked the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta to stay an order to remove the monument by midnight Wednesday. The papers were filed late Monday. U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson has said he may fine the state about $5,000 a day if the monument is not removed by the deadline. Moore has fought to keep the monument in the judicial...

CHAPTER 1 The First Motive which obliges us to practice Virtue and to serve God: His Being in itself, and the excellence of His Perfections Two things, Christian reader, particularly excite the will of man to good. A principle of justice is one, the other the profit we may derive therefrom. All wise men, therefore, agree that justice and profit are the two most powerful inducements to move our wills to any undertaking. Now, though men seek profit more frequently than justice, yet justice is in itelf more powerful; for, as Aristotle teaches, no worldly advantage can equal the excellence...

<p>With the deadline for removing his Ten Commandments monument just four days away, Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore enjoyed his day in the spotlight Saturday, basking in the glory shone on him by thousands of believers in his cause.</p> <p>In an unscheduled appearance before a crowd hot from the rhetoric and the sun, Moore was escorted to the podium on the steps of the Capitol by two bodyguards. Donning sunglasses, he spent much of his speech reciting his own poems about America's moral slide and how God's people need to rise up and stem it.</p>

Chief Justice Roy Moore was right at home Saturday talking to a crowd of supporters gathered in Montgomery. Moore told the crowd, "It's not about me. I will pass away...but the laws of God will remain forever... It's not about politics. It's not about religion... Let's get it straight. It's about one thing. It's about the acknowledgement of the God upon which this nation and her laws are founded." "If this ruling is allowed to stand, it will reverberate from state to state to state to the nation's Capitol and the acknowledgement of God will be taken from us. If...

Moore, Circuit Judge, 16th Judicial District, Etowah County, AL (reprinted by permission from IMPRIMIS,, the monthly journal of Hillsdale College) In his first official act, President George Washington did something that would be unthinkable today.
