The liberals who went after Roy Moore would like to do the same thing to anyone who stands up for God in the public square.

World Magazine & Dr. Richard Land of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president, Dr. Albert Mohler are liberal in this respect and have greatly contributed to the rule of an unlawful order at the expense of the rule of law. They do greatly err in thinking that a flawed judicial opinion is the supreme law of the land and that representatives take an oath of office to defend an uphold same.

Perhaps U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black can best be blamed.

Amendment V: Barron v. Baltimore

In compliance with a sentiment thus generally expressed, to quiet fears thus extensively entertained, amendments were proposed by the required majority in congress, and adopted by the states. These amendments contain no expression indicating an intention to apply them to the state governments. This court cannot so apply them.

Bartkus v. Illinois, 359 U.S. 121 (1959) (USSC+)

The Fourteenth Amendment does not impliedly extend the first eight amendments to the States. Pp. 124-126 .

Jaffree v. Bd of School Comm., 554 F. Supp. 1104 (1983)

The historical record clearly establishes that when the fourteenth amendment was ratified in 1868 that its ratification did not incorporate the first amendment against the states. The debates in Congress at the time the fourteenth amendment was being drafted, the re-election speeches of the various members of Congress shortly after the passage by Congress of the fourteenth amendment, the contemporaneous newspaper stories reporting the effect and substance of the fourteenth amendment, and the legislative debates in the various state legislatures when they considered ratification of the fourteenth amendment indicate that the amendment was not intended to apply the establishment clause against the states because the fourteenth amendment was not intended to incorporate the federal Bill of Rights (the first eight amendments) against the states.

A recent Gallup poll found 77 percent of Americans disagree with the court ordering Moore to remove his monument.

The leftists do not want anything related to Christianity in any way, shape or form. They are a bunch of people who think that wrong is right and right is wrong. If it feels good, do it. Some of the blame lays with the ordinary citizens who seem not to care about what is going on in this country. I think having the internet has really strenghtened us because we know that we are not alone in our belief in God, Country and Family. I know that before I found FR, I really did not think that many people shared my beliefs. Now, we can do something about what we think is wrong, by our numbers. We could not do that years ago or cared not to do anything. I come from a rural, small MS town where we went to church on Sunday morning, night and Wednesday night. We did not complain about it either. We learned from the extended family and lots of friends who shared the same belief system. We were the better for it, too. Kids did not do anything real "bad" because everyone knew whose kids we were and would get back to our parents. In my case, I did not dare to do anything wrong because we had a mother who had dreams or visions about what we were doing. That is one reason I love to read. That way, I never got into any trouble!! She always knew where to find me when she needed me--somewhere with my head stuck in a book. I remember attending a singing school with lots of my friends. Our fun activities were all clean, good fun! Ok!!! Enough of my lecture!!!
