Speak Out … Moore’s motives

By our readers
10-27-2005

Morality is no excuse for breaking the law, and a judge knows better. He took it upon himself to change the law based on his morality, and if everyone, regardless of their religion, did this, where would we be? Example: The people who kill doctors who perform abortions in the name of morality. They break the same commandment, "Thou shall not kill." Every Christian believes in the Ten Commandments and we don’t need them in the courthouses.

The commandments are in our Bible and churches. Does Roy Moore believe a lawbreaker coming into the courthouse, seeing the Ten Commandments, will somehow change their ways? I don’t think so!

Moore is a sycophant, using the Ten Commandments to be governor of our state when we already have a Christian governor (Bob Riley). What can Moore do for us? He can’t place the Ten Commandments in any courthouse. Why, it’s against the law and Moore lost in every appellate court he fought in. Why did Moore break the law and go to such measures? He wants to be governor.

If you want to change a law in this country, you, the people, have to work to change it. Otherwise, we must abide by the rules. It’s the law. I ask every voter in our state not to vote for a man who broke the law. Use your morality to obey the laws of our country. Do what’s right; we already have a good Christian governor. Remember, morality is no excuse for lawbreakers.

Traitorous speech

Following in the footsteps of "Hanoi Jane" Fonda and "Hanoi John" Kerry, it appears that "Baghdad Cindy" Sheehan is gaining a considerable war protester following.

This is the epitome of free speech irresponsibility. Screaming "fire" in a crowded theater pales in comparison to the irresponsible message that "Baghdad Cindy" is sending to the enemy by "fire" in the crowded battlefield theater of our troops.

Someday, we’ll look back and recall this irresponsibility as treason of "Sheehanal" proportion.
