10 Commandments Out
Homosexuals Monument In

Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, the "Ten Commandments Judge," was suspended from his post on August 22, and the two and a half ton granite monument depicting the Commandments was removed from the courthouse on August 27. Moore had the monument installed in July 2001, but in November 2002 federal judge Myron Thompson ordered it removed. After the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Thompson's decision and the Supreme Court refused to intervene, a final deadline of August 20 was given for the monument's removal. When Moore refused to obey the order, he was suspended with pay by the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission.

Here's an ironical juxtaposition that hardly anyone is reporting. Even as Alabama is giving the monument to the Ten Commandments the boot, California is showing off an exclusionary and divisive new monument to homosexual and "transgender" war veterans. Homosexual activists are celebrating the Tuesday, August 27th, unveiling of a foot-long marker "In Honor of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Veterans Killed in Action" at Capitol Park in Sacramento, CA. The marker to Sodomite war veterans is the first of its kind in our nation.

So how many war heroes hail from the homosexual community? That remains a mystery. During the Pre-Bill Clinton era (the first 216 years of American History) homosexuals were not allowed in the military so there probably were not a lot.

By the way, homosexual activists who attended the unveiling on August 27th, raised the flag - not the Stars and Stripes, but a rainbow flag representing "gay pride." Bill Manes, a spokesman for California State Commanders Veterans Council, consisting of 20 statewide veterans organizations said, "To single out such a group because of their sexual proclivities is inappropriate." It’s does not come as any surprise that California does not have a monument to heterosexual veterans. I wonder if anyone will complain about “diversity,” that chief god of the politically correct.
