This just screams "CAPTION CONTEST!"

Typical holier-than-thou hypocrisy.
But they are the "true" Christians.
 
I'm glad there's only been a few dozen protesters down there or I might've been inclined to go and join the 2 or 3 counter-protesters. It's been hot as hell down here in Alabamy; much too hot for protesting someone as idiotic as Roy Moore. I just noticed that this highly unscientific internet poll (91,000 votes) conducted at a Birmingham, Alabama TV station's web site showed 54% approval for removing the monument. Yet this highly unscientific poll (189,000 votes) from MSNBC (lower left part of full article) shows that only 36% of Americans favor moving the monument.

You bunch of rednecks!:D

I've been indisposed for the last couple of weeks and haven't had time to join in this discussion, much to my chagrin. I personally believe that Moore's career in politics is in a freefall. I hope AS and I are right about that.

Edited to correct MSNBC link.

By the way, the lawsuit filed by a Christian radio talk show host and a pastor has been dismissed without prejudice. Read the order here (PDF).

Basically, the judge dismissed the case on two alternative grounds. One was jurisdictional, namely, that he did not have the authority to invalidate another judge's injunction. Although the plaintiffs did not frame their claim as such, invalidating another judge's injunction was what the plaintiffs were in effect trying to have him do. The other ground was that venue (the appropriate place for the suit to have been brought) was improper. Suit should have been brought in Montgomery, which is in a different judicial district.

The dismissal was "without prejudice," meaning that the plaintiffs may, if they wish, try to bring the suit again in the correct district.

The judge expressed no opinion on whether the plaintiffs had standing or whether they had any valid legal grounds for relief. The judge also suggested that perhaps the plaintiffs might have sued the wrong people.

Notably, the judge's ruling was largely respectful of the plaintiffs (with a few remarks that might be deemed uncomplimentary). The judge did not suggest that they had a legal leg to stand on.
 
And why doesn't god just appear from behind a cloud and smite the heathens, he was pretty happy to do that sort of thing all the time just a few thousand years ago. In god's time scale, that is just a blink of an eye ago.

Just when you think that this sort of thing can't get any more bizarre...

Man, I don't even know where to start with what's wrong with THAT.

Maybe this part:

An unsuccessful Republican candidate for the Texas board of education, Castillo said she believes the monument should remain in place in Montgomery and that the panther in Fort Worth should go.

It could be replaced, she suggested, with a marble display of the Bill of Rights or the Constitution, or a "few choice law-abiding phrases such as ... thou shall not steal ... thou shall not kill ... thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife ..."

So when seperation of Church and State means removing monuments of a different religion, she's all for it, but when it's Christian, then the monuments should stay.

The mind boggles. And that's ignoring the whole question of whether a statue of a sleeping panther from local folklore is pagan in any way. The article makes it pretty clear that it isn't pagan in the slightest, so the whole situation is just unbelievably weird.

No its the Moore-ons stupid attempt to turn the tables....it will mushroom unless the Courts start imposing sanctions for the frivolous lawsuits to come.

Its a good thing we all have stone monuments of the 10 Commandments in our homes or people might think we're hypocrites.
