So did the Founding Fathers, and a clear majority of current-day Americans.

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved. . . . And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

Jefferson and 'Natural Rights'. You will find Moore's view is fairly consistent with the ideals of Jefferson and many of the founders.

Moore is crazy

So are a lot of people.

.
they are so upset, legislating christianity has now become necessary. Moore is a religious zealot.

 

[Blackrook]

Moore is right on all his issues, but he flaunts the law, which has gotten him into trouble.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

So, it's the laws that are wrong? Not Moore?

Yep.

Moore's vowed to blow up Senate rules if he’s elected, and to continue crusading against McConnell. He’s also likely to kick all gays out of the military—and once called for ousting Minnesota’s Keith Ellison from Congress because he’s Muslim.

choose wisely, Alabama

 

[Mr Natural]

He's an asshole.

But I'm sure he'll be elected by the "good people" of Alabama

And I supposed you believe individual rights come from Pelosi and Schumer.

 

[Bezukhov]

Now why did it take so long for God to grant those rights? When Theodosius I made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire why didn't he gather his ministers and advisers and tell them "Now that were Christians we have rights. So we need a Constitution and a Bill of Rights". Instead the common man was treated no better than cattle for most of Christian history.

Ahem, that is from the Declaration of Independence, a different document than the Constitution..

If you believe that government is the source of your "fundamental rights" you really need to go back to high school and check out that Civics class that you slept through. That our fundamental rights come from God (or mother nature, if you must) is so intrinsic in the fabric of our country that only the Ignorant will miss it.

Judge Moore's problem is that he refuses to accept the caselaw where the USSC has gone off the reservation when it comes to the Constitution. For example, there is no "right of privacy" in the Constitution that voids sodomy laws and facilitates gay "marriage." It simply doesn't exist. He does not see the phony "wall of separation between Church & State," perhaps because the Founders did not put one there.

Like Nino Scalia, he is a breath of fresh air. He will piss off a lot of people.

Duh.

Silly fella. It unquestionably indicates the attitude and beliefs of the Founding Fathers.

Where in the New Testament did Jesus or any other NT writer ever instruct Christians to seize Earthly political and use that power to punish Gay people?
