What is it with Alabama that we always have to be in the middle of the most emotional issues? First the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement now it looks like Alabama is center of the religious revolution with the growing flap over the Ten Commandments.
At least there's no way nobody can blast Alabama and paint the people of Alabama as villians for standing up for the Ten Commandments,,,,,, right? How can you be morally wrong for doing that?
There was an interesting question on this issue though. Should Judge Roy Moore, continuing to defy a direct court order to remove the 2 ton Ten Commandment monument, go to jail as a result?
The answer, to me, is very simple. Yes. MLK stood up for a moral cause, right? He went straight to jail many times. Why should it be any different for Judge Roy Moore? If he wants to take a moral stand, he should be prepaired to go to jail, etc just like countless others who have stood up for moral causes and gone to jail for them. Besides, they wouldn't REALLY put him in serious jail anyway because most officials in Montgomery sympathize with his views, unlike those who imprisoned King et al. What do you think?
Do you feel the Ten Commandments have a place in the Alabama Supreme Court building (or any state or DC if there happens to be a judge like this in another state/DC able to do so), Judge Moore is doing the right thing and the monument should be allowed to stay?
