Stephen Hopkins, pastor of Burnet Bible Church in Burnet, Texas, was one of those arrested. He said he was willing to be arrested even though he has 10 children.

"This is a great hypocrisy," Hopkins said. "This is an assault on God. They're saying we're going to cover up God."

Idolatry - of course, what do you expect from untrained pastors....

I have a serious question about this from the article:

...the monument's placement violated the Constitution's ban on government promotion of a religious doctrine

Seriously, what Constitution are they talking about? What ban? TELL me they DON'T mean the Constitution of the United States. TELL me that they DON'T mean the prohibition of CONGRESS (not the court) of enacting any LAW (not allowing a monument) respecting an establishment of religion NOR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF.

And TELL me that, if this objective article DID mean something, the public would discredit this news source into everlasting obscurity.

Moore's ego is breathtaking. He truly deserves a place beside the purple haired one!
