10 commandment block of stone gone

[adityanm]

The stone has just been moved.
I wonder when Roy Moore will be gone.

1. They are all praying now

Watching this in the office right now on Fox. Most of the protesters are laying down in front of the courthouse right now, praying quietly. With one exception -- one of the men keeps yelling "put them back" at the top of his lungs. Wonder how long they will stay out there now?

2. Hell, the guy will probably be elected to the senate.....

I was hoping the pallet jack would fail and the thing would fall over and shatter into a million pieces. Now THAT would have been some 'reality TV'! :evilgrin:
Welcome to DU!

3. Probably never

I'm sure Moore went into this knowing it was a win-win situation for his future political plans. If the monument had been left alone, he could campaign as the judge who brought God back to the Alabama courts. Since it looks like the monument is not going to be allowed on the rotunda (and will probably be moved out of temporary storage once the courts once again smack him down), he can now campaign on the godlessness in government and prop himself up as a good "christian" soldier, fighting the good fight.

18. yep, the fundies LOVE to play "oppressed"

the dumbasses

how many of them lied down and prayed in front of their local orphanage today? :shrug:

[greenwow]

4. Yes!

The symbol of their oppressive religion is gone. Too bad only the symbol is gone.

5. Hi adityanm!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

6. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAA

God bless Roy Moore and his taliban supporters.

Great day for Freedom.

7. Maybe they should go back home

and start checking their bibles to see if perhaps there was something they missed in their Christian training, like all the WORDS OF CHRIST!

Good grief!

I'll betcha you wouldn't have found HIM making a jackass of HIMself!

[madrchsod]

11. i agree

none of these people ever say anything about the words that christ said. why did jesus throw the money changers out of the temple?

[CO Liberal]

12. Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple....

And now, thanks to assholes like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Oral Roberts, Bob Jones, and D. James Kennedy, the money changers OWN the temples.

8. Wingnut organizer Mahoney

is telling the crowd he's being allowed to view the monument to make sure it hasn't been damaged. Said the top part will be removed and stored in a separate place.

[Ripley]

9. He'll be gone when smirk puts him on the SCOTUS.

Next year.

[salmonhorse]

10. Why don't otherwise presumably reasonable Americans get it?

Whether they walk & talk, journey from Kentucy with home schooled children, have proper jobs, get proper hair cuts, prostrate themselves before their own ignorance and such; there is no primacy of religion over no religion let alone one religion over another affored within any article of The Constitution or The Rights.

Separate Chruch & State Now!

Perhaps now, however, we can stop this their christian-rightwing notion that they can use public school facilities after hours as a platform for their proselytizing ~

:shrug:

13. I've been waiting to say this...

It's an oldie but a goodie:

Na na NA na, na na NA na, HEY HE-EY, GOOD BYE!!!!!

Ah... I feel much better now. Thanx!

:toast:

[onehandle]

14. This will be bad for us...

Fundies are writing checks to Right-Wing Justices' campaigns at this very moment.

[Az]

15. This all could have been solved a long time ago

Assuming Roy Moore is the type of Christian that follows Jesus' teachings. In Luke 6:30 Jesus clearly tells his followers that if anyone asks for anything from them they should give it to them. If anyone takes something from them they should not demand it back.

Unless Roy Moore is some kind of hypocrit a simple request for the monument should effectively have removed it.

[Duvenoy]

16. It is inreresting to note...

..... that something like half of the protesters were from out-of-state, many from FL.

17. Just three little words ~ GET OVER IT

I wonder how those words sound to them from this side of things?

[salin]

19. or... If you Don't Like the Constitution... Move to a country

with a theocratic system.
