I don’t think the American constitution is stupid in the slightest and this monument violates it. "Stupid" describes the now "removed" judge who had them installed in the middle of the night ! Do you not think it slightly odd that the rest of the judiciary were unanimous in there decision to have it removed ?
I thing that when the state tries to shove religion down your throat and bases laws on it you are in danger of becoming a theocracy rather than a democracy. Freedom to choose the religion of your choice is fundamental to being a free people and is a right that seems to have come under fire recently (ask any American Muslim post 9/11).
Me, Im pleased to see it go !
Oh yeah Simon, Alabama was really shoving religion down your throat; This whole thing (subject, not thread) is stupid, these people need to find other things to bitch about.
Why do you think that the other judiciary members voted unanimous? Not because they were against it, because if they had agreed with him, their own jobs would be in jeopardy. Why risk losing your job for some stupid thing like that?
Pretty soon, Christmas trees will be taken down in public, because it offends the Jews and the Muslims; Pretty soon, christmas songs will not be played on TV, nor will Christmas related things, or any religion. Don't you see how this is leading down the trail of the Soviet Union's Athiest viewpoint? Pretty soon, some asshole will convince the supreme court to stop allowing children to be have Christmas Parties in school because it upsets her Jewish daughter, who is busy with the $2 wooden dradle, wishing she were like the other kids. Pretty soon, everything offensive will be edited, deleted, moderated, changed, so that nobody's feelings get hurt; Books are already being banned (Fahrenheit 451 is banned in 26 countries), and books that oppose certain viewpoints will simply stop production, and eventually will burn, in the name of DIVERSITY. In the name of Freedom. And what will happen is that all reading material will be universally accepted; No real ideas will exchange, because feelings can get hurt; because the muslim doesn't want the christian pushing her views down her throat, books like the Koran and the Bible will slowly die, in the name of DIVERSITY. In the name of freedom. Every single photograph of wars from long ago will first be edited to fit the New New Brave World, with acceptance and politically correct-style fittings. Pictures of three white males hoisting the flag up at Ground Zero will turn into one white male, one black male, and one hispanic male, because that's the
right thing to do. Because our government doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, historical records are changed. I didn't see a hispanic raising a flag on 9/11, did you? No, you didn't, but in due time, you'll think that you did. It's simple Government Mind-play; eventually, we'll all forget that it was
three white firefighters that raised the flag; In the name of freedom, we will in fact lose freedom. In the name of freedom, we'll lose the right to freedom of thought. No longer will we have the right to think in certain ways, no longer will we have the right to say certain things. We'll no longer celebrate birthdays and talk about love, because they won't exist. We are simply here, and that's all that will matter. And those who rise up against freedom, the ones who realise it, will be crushed by the government, with all historical records showing that these people never existed; We are on the track, trust me. We are in a world where the American people are manipulated into thinking Iraq poses an imminent threat to America, where people lose sleep because the nightly news girl says that Iraq might have WMD's. And so it will go, the propaganda will flow, but the true facts, we will never know. They are lying to us left and right; I'm not the only one that sees it, Chuck sees it as well. The Bush Administration effectively exempted itself of the questioning by the media "What did you know about 9/11?", by pushing the Iraq conflict, changing the subject. Don't let them fool you; They knew it was coming, Just like they knew about Pearl Harbor. It's important for America not to be known as the aggressors; Why do you think they fabricated a connection between Sadamm and Osama bin Laden?
The War on Terror is the best thing that the Bush administration could have hoped for; How often does a president get unlimited use of his military, without disclosing what, where, how, when, why to the public? How often can a president bypass an entire domestic policy by simply telling the American people that we need to do this, otherwise another 9/11 will happen? What are people going to say to that, "Oh, another 9/11? Bring it." Of course, they'll say "another 9/11? *Sobs* Oh no!!! Do whatever you want." - And so it went. The American people are strong, and I hope they realize what's going on, and get rid of the United States Patriot Act of 2001, which was rushed in to congress two months after 9/11, when everyone in congress was still unstable, many parts barely being touched. Lets face it, it's a ****ing statue in a courthouse, not a billboard on a Highway.
