He's baaack! The Ten Commandments judge leading in polls?

~ The Rebel ~ 2012/08/12 03:25:24

Nine years after a battle over a stone monument listing the Ten Commandments inside a state court building in Alabama, the state Supreme Court chief justice who was removed from office by a state judiciary panel is the leading candidate – to be the state Supreme Court chief justice.

Judge Roy Moore had installed the 5,280-pound stone monument as part of an acknowledgement of God’s sovereignty over American life, and when he refused to haul it away as a federal judge wanted, a state judicial panel removed him from office.

But after a stunning upset victory over two better-funded competitors for the GOP nomination for the office, incumbent Chuck Malone and former state Attorney General Charlie Graddick, Moore now is leading in the statewide race in Alabama, where voters choose the chief justice.

According to a poll taken just days ago, Moore leads Democrat Harry Lyon by 21 points, 54 percent to 33 percent.

    Roy Moore is one of the few people living in the world today for whom I have a great deal of admiration and respect.

    A great judge and God-fearing human being IMO as far as human beings go.

    Proud to call him a neighboring Alabamian.

    How Did We Get To This Godless Point? Stop This PC Madness!

    DID YOU KNOW?
    As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view. It is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!

    DID YOU KNOW?
    As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.

    DID YOU KNOW?
    As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see on the wall right above where the Supreme Court Judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!

    DID YOU KNOW?
    There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.

    DID YOU KNOW?
    James Madison, the fourth president, known as 'The Father of Our Constitution' made the following statement: We have staked the whole of all our political Institutions upon the capacity of mankind for Self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves acording to The Ten Commandments of God.'

    Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established Orthodox churches in the colonies.

    DID YOU KNOW?
    Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting law, would begin making law an oligarchy - the rule of few over many.

    How then have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this Country is now suddenly wrong and Unconstitutional?

    Lets put it around the world and let the world see and remember that this great country was built on the Holy Bible and belief in GOD!

    DID YOU KNOW?
    Thomas Jefferson tore up his bible.

    DID YOU KNOW?
    John Adams thought the bible was absurd.

    DID YOU KNOW?
    Thomas Paine, much like myself, refused to even affiliate God with the bible.

    DID YOU KNOW?
    Madison was for taxing churches and against affiliating religion with this country. His quote says it best. "Religion and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together."

    DID YOU KNOW?
    The only reason we even put "In God We Trust" on our money or "under God" in our pledge was because of the Cold War. It was purely propaganda.

    So please do not lecture me on the founding father's intentions with religion.

    Take that atheism back to Russia where it came from....The communists wanted to get God out of our country and they have very nearly succeeded.

    It's not a communist ideal, unless you would consider the majority of scientists communist.

    Not to mention I didn't even say atheism, just that organized religion is ridiculous, especially their story books...

    Good for him, if that's the case, the Fed has to come to NY and remove all the "In GOD We Trust" plaque in all of our court rooms.
