Ousted justice to speak on religion, government

Associated Press

GREAT FALLS - Roy Moore, removed as chief justice of Alabama in a battle over a Ten Commandments monument, will speak on religion and government here Feb. 27.

He will be keynote speaker at a special Montana Constitution Party gathering, Party Chairman Jonathan Martin said. He said Moore will discuss the question, "Can the state acknowledge God?"

Both Martin and Scott Chrichton, head of the Montana American Civil Liberties Union, said - for different reasons - that they hope people will turn out to hear Moore, even if they disagree with him.

"I admire Roy Moore, who is willing to stand up for his principles and those of the Bible in spite of detractors," said Martin. "I believe he has been raised up by God for a purpose in America, not just because of Christian or religious issues but because of constitutional issues. Alabama had a federal judge telling the state what to do about issues of religion, and that's wrong."

2. Wrong?

"I admire Roy Moore, who is willing to stand up for his principles and those of the Bible in spite of detractors," said Martin. "I believe he has been raised up by God for a purpose in America, not just because of Christian or religious issues but because of constitutional issues. Alabama had a federal judge telling the state what to do about issues of religion, and that's wrong."

Alabama had a chief justice telling the state's citizens that they will go to hell if they don't publicly celebrate his chosen religion. NOW THAT'S WRONG!

7. Just another transparent attempt

to whip the wingnuts into a fenzy come November. Nothing more. Me thinks that the repugs fear some of these kristians may stay home on election day.
