Declaration of "American Values"

[gyeonghwa]

Liberty Council is trying to invoke the Declaration of Independence by writing a declaration of in which the demand the US Government to basically adopt Sharia.

To secure our national interest in the institution of marriage and family by embracing the union of one man and one woman as the sole form of legitimate marriage and the proper basis of family.

Except that almost half of the country would now disagree.

To secure the free exercise of religion for all people, including the freedom to acknowledge God through our public institutions and other modes of public expression and the freedom of religious conscience without coercion by penalty or force of law.

Um, free exercise of religion is already secure. What you are asking is preferential treatment of one (indicated by using God rather than deities) religion.

To secure the moral dignity of each person, acknowledging that obscenity, pornography, and indecency debase our communities, harm our families, and undermine morality and respect. Therefore, we promote enactment and enforcement of laws to protect decency and traditional morality.

It's unmistakable fascist here.

So, the dominionists are showing their hand...

The question is, does it match up to anyone else's hands?

[ironbite]

While there are Repugs who would love to enact this...they risk alienating a lot of their voter base and they want to remain in power.

Ironbite-this though...just wow.

And now for some values that actually reflect the spirit of the American constitution:

"Marriage is a legal contract between consenting adults, and shall be treated as such by the state."

"The state shall not endorse or give the appearance of endorsing any particular religion."

"All people should be free to live their lives as they see fit, and live by the values they embrace, so long as they are not harming anyone else in doing so. Personal morality is not to be governed by the state."

It's hilarious that the same people who write this shit are terrified of Sharia law.

Because it's Muslim, therefore evil.

These people have already established that an act is evil if it is the enemy doing it, but the same act is good if WE are doing it.

Making sense is sooo overrated.

It's only bigotry if it happens to us!

Wait, you mean the bible didn't have white heterosexual couples with McMansions, white picket fences, and 2.5 kids?

2.5 kids? What the hell is wrong with you, sir? Families should have as many children as they can, so that they can help around the farm and carry on the noble family name to over 9000 grandkids!

Keeping up with the Duggars. Worst reality show idea ever.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

Survivor: Duggar Ranch would be pretty awesome, though.

[N. De Plume]

Liberty Council. Heh. Still cracks me up.

Probably the weirdest thing about that statement is that it's more or less a decent summary of a fair chunk of Oligarchical Collectivism.

Sounds real great for the normal people that don't want religious nutbags in power. {sarcasm}

What ever happen to presidents like Eisenhower or Clinton? These religuos idiots are so worried about Shariah law that they just replace Shariah and place Biblical Law we still HAVE THE SAME FUCKING THING!!![/size]
