Since Moore would not allow any monuments next to his 10 commandments that acknowledge Buddhism or Hinduism, one is left to conclude that he would certainly not be friendly to non-Christians.
The ACLU is also dangerous, right alongside Moore. They're bookends of extremism.
Ah - so that's it. Because he wouldn't allow Buddhist or Hindu monuments, there should be NO monuments to Biblical commandments.
I find that argument less than compelling. I doubt if any Hindus in this country care whether quotes from the Vedas are displayed next to the 10 Commandments. Were there any Hindus among the founding fathers or other original founders of this country and its laws?
No? Then why the fuss?
Because Roy Moore himself said that his rock was a monument to Christianity alone, he was ordered to take it down.
Go to the US Supreme Court building if you want to see the 10 commandments prominently displayed, along with the Torah, Hammurabi's code, and several others.
It would be just as wrong to set up a monument to the Koran in a taxpayer funded building.
You and I will disagree about this forever. I guess your side is that Hammurabi's code, (what about the Rosetta stone), how about Egyption rules of ethics, and what about Norse and Greek codes, and so on, all must be displayed if the 10 Commandments are displayed.
Go ahead and hate Roy Moore. It won't do you any good, and the fight against the 10 Commandments has the leftist, atheist secularists like the ACLU rubbing their hands in glee.
I will vote for Roy Moore Alabama's next Governor.
Come on down to Alabama and vote for Roy Moore. I gave him money at a recent meeting and got his attention by saying this is for your presidential campaign. He seemed to like my comment. He definitely is a person of dignity.

Please list any concessions the administration has offered the 100 or so Republicans that want a harder line on illegal aliens. One of two would be fine.
America The Beautiful
by Roy S. Moore
America the Beautiful, or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride; I'm glad they'll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty, your house is on the sand.
Our children wander aimlessly poisoned by cocaine,
Choosing to indulge their lusts,
When God has said abstain.
From sea to shining sea, our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
And a need to always pray.
So many worldly preachers tell lies about our Rock,
Saying God is going broke so they can fleece the flock.
We've kept God in our temples,
How callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
And Heaven is His throne.
We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges
Who throw reason out the door,
Too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
Before he leaves the womb.
You think that God's not angry,
That our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
Before His judgement comes?
How are we to face our God,
From Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
But stem this evil tide?
If we who are His children, will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face and mend our evil way;
Then God will hear from Heaven
And forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land and those who live wthin.
But, America the Beautiful,
If you don't then you will see,
A sad but Holy God withdraw His hand from Thee.
However, the threat of a Moore or Tancredo third party run will force the Republicans to move more towards the right in the general election. The threat of George Wallace impelled Richard Nixon to choose Spiro Agnew as Vice President instead of George Romney or Nelson Rockefeller. A strong third party run, especially by Roy Moore, who could carry several Deep South states in a three way race as Wallace did 40 years earlier, would essentially kill any plans to run Rudolph Giuliani or John McCain as either President or Vice President. The GOP could not run anyone to the left of President Bush as President or even Vice President.
The threat of a populist or Christian Right conservative third party will deter the GOP's abandonment of conservatism.
You betcha, and by standing up for the Constitution and religious freedom he paid a heavy price for it.
Roy Moore is a principled patriot in a nation full of unprincipled politicians. He has my vote for whatever office he wants to run for - if I can vote for him.
what is his stand on DEPORTING illegal aliens?
This next election, I am voting for only the candidate in favor of DEPORTING illegal aliens.
Actually, when a majority of teachers and students decide to say Christian prayers at football games over the PA system, that's a perfect example of it. And it used to happen all the time until the ACLU started having hissy fits.
And it wasn't Alabamans who objected to Moore's monument. It was outsiders from the ACLU.
Not that I condone Moore defying court orders. That was wrong, if not sinful.
But to see a Catholic deacon objecting to public displays of the 10 commandments, that's truly sad.
There it is!
Maybe it was the fact that Moore's rock contained the Protestant version of the 10 Commandments, thus placing them in a position above Catholics and Jews that he objected to?
What I object to is the 10 commandments being displayed as a religious object, which is what Roy Moore himself said he was doing.
Tolerating that would allow a Muslim chief justice to set up a Koran in the court building and call it a religious display.
Go to the US Supreme Court building to see how the 10 commandments can be displayed prominently, along with other sources of US law.
In addition, Moore knew that his rock would be ordered out when he set it up. He did this as a political stunt.
Many of us predicted that he would use this shameless act as a springboard to a gubernatorial run.
Like clockwork, that is exactly what he's doing.
Why don't you knock off the personal attacks?
Yes he is. In addition, it has nothing to do with Judge Roy Moore.
