Support for Moore
The definition of religion is belief in a personal God or gods entitled to obedience and worship. On the United States dollar bill it says “In God We Trust.” I have one question. How are we supposed to trust in God when our own U.S. District Judge is against the Ten Commandments. This judge, Myron Thompson, said, “The monument’s sloping top and the religious air of the tablets unequivocally call to mind an open Bible resting on a podium.”
Why should appearance matter? As an Alabama citizen I question the authority of Judge Myron Thompson.
Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Center stated, “It’s a gross violation of the rights of the citizens of Alabama.” His choice of words in this statement makes me furious. I can’t put into words how angry I am.
Roy Moore scheduled a press conference and in it stated that he refuses to remove the monument from its current place in the judicial building. I echo him in saying that there is no reason why Roy Moore should have to remove the monument and I stand up for his bravery in defeat.

Governor of Alabama
Gov. Don Siegelman conceded the governorship of Alabama to Bob Riley. What does Riley have to hide? Why did he oppose the recount of votes if there was nothing to be found in the recount. Why did he protest so vividly. You could see the anger coming out. There’s got to be a bad apple somewhere. The guilty always speak the loudest and protest the most.During the election I lost some respect for Don Siegelman and I never had any for Riley.
I think, out of respect to the state, both men should have conceded and given the governorship to Lucy Baxley.
Gov. Siegelman has worked hard for the people and the state. I learned to respect him. Never in a million years do I believe he would have stooped to Bob Riley’s level of mud slinging.
May God help Alabama, we’re sure going to need him the next four years.

Gun ‘fingerprinting’
The article “Gun ‘fingerprints’ solve crimes” in the Nov. 22 edition of The Anniston Star written by Sen. Dianne Feinstein has Adolf Hitler’s fingerprints all over it. It promotes a similar action that Hitler carried out in Germany in the early ’30s in registering weapons owned by the people. When he found out where they were he simply sent his storm troopers out to confiscate them all. Then he was in full control of the people.A similar action in the United States would be to fingerprint all babies the minute they are born in case they turn out to be criminals in 20 or 30 years. This would make them guilty until proven innocent.
The senator’s idea would make all guns, at the time of manufacture, guilty of being involved in a crime until proven innocent. How stupid can we get?
